Really dry bun with a wide variety of fillings. As appealing as they seem, they lack flavor and are wrapped in dense, flavorless dough. read more

Bunn - Bottom: kimchi top: chicken curry - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

My friend swears by the kimchi bun. I think it was just OK. I would come back and try another type of bun to complete my assessment. I like kimchi but just as kimchi. read more

Hmm, not bad, not great, but perfect for a quick snack. I've only ever had the steam buns from here, and they don't muster more than a "Not bad" reaction out of me, ever. I only ever order the non-spicy ones, but that doesn't excuse them from lacking flavor and salt. The bun bread itself is exactly as expected, so no complaints there. The sweet potato one comes in a whole wheat bun, which tastes more healthy than I would have liked. I'm not sure it was necessarily a good combo with the sweet potato, but the bun itself seems to add more flavor than the actual filling does. Not much else to say on this front, except the buns were served hot, the service was friendly, and the shop front is right by the front door of the gallery for easy access. I wouldn't come out of my way to get food from here, but if I'm within two blocks and in a hurry, this would probably be one of my go-to's. read more

Bunn knows their audience, the people who are so pressed for time that don't even the 15 minutes it takes of the cafeteria style eats inside Food 32 proper. Instead Bunn is for people who need to do something that expert after expert tell us is a bad idea, yet we do it anyway - eat on the run. I've been taking Russian classes around the corner (at a place that is an ESL classroom during the day, and foreign language institute by night) and sometimes there's not enough time before or after lessons for a proper meal. And Bunn does hit the spot when it comes to a snack. One of their smartest additions has been traditional bao, which are here called "pocked buns." These come with a bit of spicy pork or beef, along with some cabbage. The spicy pork is a perfect four bite way to see off hunger for a couple hours. The traditional bun/bunns require a bit of the nearby sauces to avoid being a rather flavorless protein bomb. This pretty much defeats the purpose of a grab and go food option. But this isn't really a place for a meal, so just stick to this when it comes to a snack. read more

Yum. I really, REALLY enjoy these buns. They fill me up for just $2.50. Not cheap compared to what it should be in Chinatown, but ridiculously cheap for K-town and this area. Perfect comfort food. Bunch is located on the ground floor of the Food Gallery, right when you walk in (across from Red Mango). I always get the pork one. Unlike the Chinese style pork buns that I'm used to, they add korean noodles to the filling. It's really flavorful and delicious. When they first opened, they used to offer steamed and pressed versions. Now I think they only offer steamed (probably because it is faster service and higher throughput). They have siracha sauce, but for some reason don't have to-go containers for them. God, I'm craving one right now. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors, particularly the curry. One of the best cheap eats in K-town! read more

Growing up I remember my freezer and fridge filled with pork buns so when I first walked past Bunn I was not impressed. However I came to the food court for lunch with my boyfriend and his lunch choice was Bunn. Surprise! We ended up getting the chicken curry bun and the pork bun. They came out as soon as we ordered and was hot and fresh. I was also pleasantly surprised by the color of the buns. The chicken curry bun was green and the pork bun was purple! So cute. They were both delicious though I preferred the pork bun more. The pork bun was a little spicy and seemed to have kimchi inside. My boyfriend said that it reminded him of tofu soup (no wonder I liked it!). They also give you a punch card for every $5 you spend at the store. If you get 5 stamps they give you a free bun. read more

Kimchi bun $2.50 The bun is same as the chinese shao long bao but the inside was what made the difference. Inside was kimchi and glass noodle. A small hint of spicy with a lot of flavor. What I especially love is the kimchi itself. It is not sour like other kimchi are, it is not extremely spicy, it tasted like fresh kimchi with a hint of spicy and still has a crunch. That was what made the difference. I still say $2.50 is a bit steep. read more

Tasty hot steamy buns! Comes in a variety of colors and flavors. Sweet potato bun was very filling and delicious. read more

Bunn - Sweet potato bun - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Oh my God. This place needs to EXPAND outside of the Food Court 32 because their food (though the selection is small) IS DELICIOUS and cheap! I ALWAYS get the pocket bun special (a bulgogi and spicy pork for a total of $5.75). I'm pretty sure they're made with crack or something (made with love!??!!). The only thing that could make it better would be more flavors.. but then that would make it difficult to choose what to get. Ugh.. can't ever win. The regular buns are alright. Haven't tried all of them but the kimchi bacon is pretty good. Recommmendddddd. Yesssssssss. nomnomnom. read more

What disappointment! Kimchi and pork buns tasted the same and begged the question, "where's the pork?" Definitely not enough pork! The sweet potato buns were the worst. I am a fan of sweet potatoes so I was excited to try them. But they really were pretty gross. They used wheat flour that made the dough dry, gritty, and lacked that soft fluffy outside one looks for in a steamed bun. The filling was mushy and looked like throw up. Would not recommend this place for buns. Stick with the Chinese pork buns!! read more

Cheap and decent snack. Pork bun wasn't too great but the chicken curry was pretty good. I liked the bun was very chewy, with a slight sweetness to it - definitely not blah. Would return to try another flavor. read more

The buns are really good and the prices are perfect. $2.50 or $3.50 per bun. The fancier ones cost $3.50. HOW. EVER. All the flavors taste vaguely similar except red bean. Red bean is the reddest bean. read more

I got the 2 for $5 buns, one with beef and one with pork. They are not the best buns I've ever had and were very messy to eat, but they satisfied me and are conveniently sized and well-priced. The filling portions are generous and everything in it pairs very well together. Because they're so cheap, I can't wait to go back and grab a couple more and experiment with the flavors. read more

Bunn - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I had 4 of their royalty stamp cards with scattered stamps so I asked the staff if he could combine them into one card. He looked at the cards for a few seconds then angrily grabbed them and again angrily threw them away into the garbage can with the look of annoyance. More like smashing into it. Before, they would help me no problem but this guy was different. I told him forget about it. Sorry I bugged you with such trivial petty thing but I'm not returning. read more

Bunch.. of mediocre, plain, dry, buns. cheap meal at $2.50 a bun, but you get what you pay for had the pork and chicken curry buns. The pork was definitely the better of the 2. The curry, I couldn't even finish. It didn't help that they were out of soy sauce! read more

Hubby is always drawn to the window of this place, looking at the different, soft-carby treats. There's never a line, the baos are fresh, and there's a decent variety to choose from. Grab one as an appetizer, a few for a meal, or a red bean one for dessert! read more

This place took my money, gave me the wrong food, and refused to give my money back. I wanted the spicy pork bun, but they gave me the regular purple pork bun. They said they didn't have the spicy pork bun but didn't say that up front and took my money anyway. The food and service wasn't good. I felt scammed! read more

$2.50 for a bun, tax included.Pretty good price. Whats this place going to do when wang mandoo opens across the street though. Its basically the same product in a different venue. I ordered two, kimchi and pork bun. I think id have to favor the pork over the kimchi just a little bit. Bun is steamed fresh and stuffed with fillings. I got it as an add on to my soup and I couldnt finish it all the bun was so large. Good for a grab on the go. Hope they add their other flavours soon! I think ive had better steamed buns in flushing...maybe I need to come when the shop opens for lunch when they are more 'fresh'? ALso I went there around 9 or so at night. I could tell their three workers were getting a little bored of being there but no need to start acting unprofessional. As I was ordering one guy in the back just started waving his arms and and kinda saying nonsense. A odd thing for me to notice and recall but eh, Its a customer servie world, act appropriate for people that get bothered for this kind of thing like me ! read more

Bunn is located near the entrance to the food centre. It is great place to grab a snack to tide you over. At $2.50 a bun, it is also cheap. I tried the chicken and beef buns. They both were 60% glass noodles which was a little disappointing. However, they both were completely distinct in their flavours. The chicken was seasoned with very mild curry and the beef had more of a sweet soy taste. The doughy bun was pleasantly chewy and a little sweet. A little Sriracha in both (which they offer near the register) gave it a much needed zip. The person taking my order was helpful and quick. The buns are already steamed so they just box up your order right away, ensuring that your hunger is quickly attended to. Which is good because I was entering the much dreaded 'hangry' stage. I will be back when I am in the neighbourhood. read more

Came here for a quick meal/snack on a Friday night. I had: Pork Bun Mushroom Bun Kimchi Bacon Bun The pork bun was the highlight of my meal , very tasty and great balance in the filling. The mushroom bun tasted like nothing and the Kimchi Bacon bun is nothing to write home about. This is a great place to stop by if you don't want to go all the way to Chinatown. $2.50 a bun. read more

Every time when I was a little hungry but not hungry enough to have a meal.. I will come to Bunn.. It's nice for a post or pre workout snack.. I love the all the buns were warm and they just took it out from the steamer.. So far I have tried: - kimchi - pork - beef with rice noodles - sweet potato My favorite will be the one with kimchi and the beef with rice noodles in it.. Top with their chili.. it was perfect.. 3.5 stars actually but because they are so friendly.. .5 star extra. :) read more

This place sells good Korean style dumpling (mandu) and pork/beef bun ( the name on the menu is pocket bunn). I thought it tasted good. Beef was regular marinated bulgogi. Wasn't quite satisfied with spicy pork pocket bunn because there was more sauce paste than meat piece. Since koreatown is always busy at dinner time this I think is a very good option for a quicky quick take out. read more

Loved their spicy pork open bun!! So delicious! This location is within the food gallery/cafeteria so we literally ordered something from Each place to try and this had to be the best. It was so flavorful and a good amount of spice. For two little buns, they can really filled you up! read more

Bunn - Spicy pork open bunn - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Tried the red bean. $2.50 for an outrageously large bun. Too bad ONLY the bread part was good; the red bean sucked! They have a limited menu for their opening: beef, pork, kimchi, curry, & red bean. Hopefully the rest of their menu is favorable. read more

Bunn - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I was in the neighborhood, and i walked by Food Gallery 32 and spotted this new bun place. Since i was hungry at the time, this was the perfect thing for me to snack on, before i get home and have dinner. I got the pork bun ($2.50), it was purple...so cool! Anywho...the size of the bun was pretty decent...and when i bit into it..it wasnt what i thought it to be...i thought i would be bitting into meat..but instead i had a mouthful of meat, some glass noodles and veggies and some spicy seasoning...which wasnt bad... i still finished it quickly and wasnt sure if i would crave it again....hence the 3-star read more

I was always curious about this place as I walk into the food gallery. Tonight I ordered a Pork Bun and a Beef Bun based on the server's recommendation. They look similar to the steamed buns you can get in Chinatown. They were soft and fluffy on the outside with filling on the inside. Pork Bun- had a spicy sauce along with some shredded vegetables and pork in it. Didn't taste much pork in this. The sauce overpowered everything. Beef Bun- looked like it had more meat filling in it, but tasted a bit bland. This was my first time trying a Korean steamed bun, so I had no idea how these buns should taste like. Compared to the steamed buns one can get in Chinatown, these buns were not as flavorful and were pricier at $2.50 a bun. read more

I sometimes eat these too fast I get a stomach ache. These buns are not exactly the same as what you would expect from maybe a street stall in China, but I appreciate their multi-colored deliciousness and yummy flavors. I would recommend the Pork or the Curry one, and stay away from the beef one. The beef one is dry in my opinion. The people are always friendly, and very fast to get your food to you (all it is is taking it from the steamer and putting it in a box). So if you only have 5 min to grab food, this is definitely a good spot - especially in the winter. I often stop here when I am in a hurry after/before work or want a quick snack for $2.50. read more

Here for the first time and the food is real good. I got 2 stuffed bun special: one beef and one pork. It's in the food court on 32nd St. The food is perfect for what it is. I just can't give a 5-star review to a vendor. The beef is marinated is the traditional Korean barbecue sweet marinade. The pork has the perfect amount of heat. Eat the pork first, then the beef second to cool your palette. Good food. read more

I have to give 4 stars for just simple, quick deliciousness all in the palm of your hand. You go up, you order, and as you are paying, your bun is ready in the take-away box. The best flavor by far is the beef one. The dough is fresh, the beef and noodle ratio on the inside is perfect, and the flavor is spot on. Nice and savory without being too overwhelming to the soft dough. I'd say if this bun could be improved, it be to have a fluffier texture but overall, extremely satisfying for $3 a bun. The mini red bean fish are also a nice snack. I'd recommend those for a quick sweet bite. I will say...do not order the chicken curry. It tastes...strange. read more

Got the 2 bun special which came with the beef and pork belly. It was rather disappointing. The bun is rather dry and the meat is really dry as well. The pork belly was much better however something seem to be missing. read more

Bunn - 2 bun special - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

The kimchi bun here is really salty and the dough is thick but in the good chewy way. It pretty much tastes a half step up from frozen steam buns even though they apparently makes these from scratch in house. $3 per. I still come here when I get a hankering for a quick Korean snack though cuz I work around the corner. Service is always super quick and friendly. read more

It is not cheap when you spend $2.5/per bun. It is good to try special flavor like sweet potato which is different from what is in Chinatown. read more

Decent buns, but wont blow you away. The food here is pretty fresh, but it wont change your life. They kind of lacked flavor but were nice and warm. Really cost effective though. I probably wont be going back. read more

The prices have gone up 50 cents since I first came here like 3 years ago? Still pretty good if you're looking for something to fill your stomach for less than $6! My personal favorite is the purple bun - spicy pork! Pretty consistent for the most part. I miss when they had the mini buns though! I hope they bring those back one day.... read more

Their kimchi buns are really good and the price makes them even better. I like their red bean also. Two buns will fill you up easily. It's a great quick, portable and easy to eat lunch. Just tried their sweet potato - meh, won't eat again. It would be much better if 1) it had a regular bun instead of a wheat bun (I love whole wheat stuff but this just is too dense for the sweet potato) and 2) only use korean/japanese sweet potatoes - the watery texture of the American yam isn't very yummy. read more

I come here once every 1.5 weeks during my lunch break because the pocket buns/sliders are the best. The pocket pork buns are much better than the other option; the buns are steamy and soft, and the asian slaw they add makes a nice crispy crunch when you bite. The spicy pork itself is deliciously spicy yet sweet at the same time. I highly recommend this place due to the price and quality (you get 2 pocket buns for $5 dollars). As to the actually larger buns, those aren't as memorable, even though I get them every time. They just don't have the same flavor. read more

We got the beef bun and spicy pork buns and dear lord, they were delicious. The bun itself was soft and chewy, and the guy that made our buns stuffed them as much as he could without the filling falling out everywhere. 10/10 would recommend. The two guys manning the shop that day were really nice too! read more
