Reviews Buk Chon Korean Cuisine

Great Korean food in the heart of the city. An altogether enjoyable experience. We went with a kid and the server was more than helpful when we had a small water spill. Each portion is meant to be shared with others because it is rather filling to finish all of the dishes on your own. The fried chicken has more ginger and additional spicing in the sauce than other places, and also comes with sliced almonds on top.

A lovely cozy place: balanced taste, nice portions, good and fast service. I recommend tofu - it is really great. If coming on a warm day, try to get a table farther from the entrance - the AC doesn’t work well in closer to the doors.

Situated in the center of Old City, I visited during the summer and recalled that there was no air conditioning. For a Korean restaurant, the cuisine was mediocre. There were better possibilities available to me. This establishment has the wonderful feature of being BYOB. It was a terrific idea to include images on the menu so that those who had never eaten Korean food before could see what the meal would look like. The tteokbokki was hot and went well with the cheese, and the bulgogi was nice, although a little dry. There was delicious kimchi.

Read some reviews and was very excited to sample another Korean joint in the city but I would say the experience was slightly lackluster. First of all, AC. I don't know how or why, but I was legit sweating the entire time eating there (and no, not because the food was spicy). Could the outside be even cooler than the inside? I don't know, but it was a little unbearable for an indoor dining experience in a hot humid summer time. My friend and I tried the following dishes: - Korean fried chicken (sweet chili) - 3.5/5. It was the popcorn boneless chicken. It's crispy on the outside. Good snack and app but it's not quite as satisfying as other Korean fried chicken I have had at other joint - Beef bulgogi - 3.7/5. Probably one of the most popular dishes I saw on the reviews. Was very excited to order but it came out a little dry and not as flavorful as it should have achieved - Soondubu (Tofu stew) w/ seafood - 3.8/5. Love that there's a lot of content (tofu and seafood) in the stew but the spice level needs to get turned up a lot just to live up to its potential. All in all, nothing is wrong about the food. But it certainly feels white washed, by a huge degree. When we walked out, all we were thinking was this joint somewhere else that really brought us that feeling of authenticity and satisfaction. And we should just go there next time.

Very nice Korean restaurant. Get soy honey fried chicken if you get that appetizer. The sweet chili is good but not as interesting as the rest of the food we got. Great servers! Great atmosphere!
