I've been to Busan Korean BBQ 3 times now and this spot is consistently incredible- quality, flavourful food and wonderful service. We usually get the bulgolgi and pork belly combo for the BBQ- we highly recommend it. all of the side plates are delicious too - we had kimchi, fish cake, seaweed salad and pickled radish- I love making the lettuce wrap with the meat, all of the side dishes and who can forget the spicy BBQ sauce. I'll continue to come here and I recommend you do too! ps get a bottle of soju for the full korean BBQ experience :) read more

We live 2 blocks away from here so when we move in October I am going to go through some serious Busan withdrawal. This is such a gem on Quinpool Road. The place is spotless, the staff are amazing and the food is perfectly prepared. Try the Spicy Chicken with rice L13 and then come back for Bidibap with Beef L12 the next day. But you don't have to live near here to come to love Busan - in fact it would be worth the trip from Dartmouth and then some! read more

I was surprised to have such a negative experience considering how busy this place always is! But hear me out. The food was incredible... It just took an hour from ordering it to get to the table. And then another five minutes for some cutlery. And then another while for some water, no 'how are you doing', 'would you like some more water' etc that staff are required to do at restaurants. It was incredibly (and uncomfortably) busy; sitting with a larger group at the table closest to the door, the door basically remained open for the two hours we were there - freezing! I might be inclined to try to find a time that is less busy than a Saturday night; however, I've been to many Asian restaurants in Halifax which I have preferred much more. read more

Busan Korean BBQ - Bibimbap (with tofu, no egg) - Korean Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

My son is a Korean adoptee and foodie. He had been wanting cook at the table K-BBQ like we had in Korea. We came here the first night of our vacation. Nailed it. This place is totally Korean Foodie teenager approved. He reminded us that in Korea the youngest person at the table cooks and serves the elders, so he did the cooking and we all ate well! read more

Went looking for Rich Forest and found its little replacement. The service was friendly and fast and the food was yummy. I'm happy they stopped the sushi and focused on the Korean unless that was just for the time I was there. I had a bento box and my guy had a hot pot. Both were amazing and the amount of food that was served was way more than I have seen in both a box or a bowl. Great value for sure! Can't wait to get back there. read more

Guess I should've gotten the KBBQ, because their bibimbap was horrible. Usually when I get a stone pot, it's hot enough to make the rice crispy but that wasn't the case here. It was really plain and the rice was a bit too wet. Very small portion, not worth the money. Huge disappointment. read more

Hands-down the best Korean food in Halifax! The food is authentic and so delicious! And great service, too - the servers are so friendly! You will be greeted with the smell of divine BBQ as soon as you step in; and you will leave with a big smile on your face and a happy belly. If you love stuffing your face with (lots of) delicious meat or need something warm and flavourful to spice up your soul or just love good food in general, this is the place for you. I would come here everyday if I could... read more

Been here three times. Had the Korean BBQ, pork bone hotpot, and dolsot bibimbap. The portions were big and the food is tasty. There was so much meat in the pork hotpot that my partner and I both had an extra meal the next day. The dolsot bibimbap was hot and delicious. The best part of all these meals though...is the banchan. They serve you four banchans with your meal - kimchi, bean curd, julienne potato, and seaweed salad. Each of them is extremely appetizing and flavourful, and works well with whatever you order. read more

Me and my friend made it a tradition to go here every time she's back home from university because it is so good. We always opt for the barbecue, the beef is our go to. The restaurant is a little bit small so if you're looking for a good quiet time with a few of your friends it's great for that. The staff is very nice and attentive if you are doing the barbecue and help out if you're not sure of what you're doing. read more

I sat there and no one come to me all the time!! no ask and no menu! one waitress go to ask the person sitting next to me i thought it must my turn, but she just gone! can you believe? i sat there for 10min no one come to me and say anything, that was too bad! At last I went out and they still didn't say anything. read more

That's the second Korean restaurant I got to try in Halifax. First of all its not big and actually busy even on a Sunday evening. The menu is similar to most korean restaurants even though I find it slightly pricier but not by much. It's definitely a nice option for dinner but I don't like the layout of the place too much and service can be a bit faster. I guess if you're really craving for Korean food you don't get many options in Halifax anyway. read more

Bione south park. The soup are super tasteless... what happened with this Bione? The soup are basically water and the meat has no flavor at all too. Tried Korean food at many places and cities, this is never happened... read more

Back in Halifax... and found this gem off Quinpool. Went there because the reviews were good and it did not disappoint. We shared a spicy chicken hot pot and it was superb. Very tasty, very friendly staff and would certainly recommend the restaurant and come again when back in town! read more

Don and I were very sad to learn that Koo-E Nami Royale had closed its doors in 2013 - we were huge fans of the AYCE, grill-at-your-table style of dining. I was quite pleased to learn of BiOne Korean BBQ and to read the very favorable reviews here on Yelp. We were not disappointed. Pros: - We arrived around 4 pm and had the place to ourselves. - Despite being a small restaurant, the tables are quite spacious. Decor is simple. Each table comes with a neat little trash can for bones/napkins/etc. - Pleasant and helpful staff. - Don and I opted for the Table Dinner for 2 (Combo 3 - Bulgogi and Kalbi) - this entailed quite a lot of food: 3 side dishes, steamed rice, dipping sauce, raw veggies and lettuce, steamed rice, and a huge plate of marinated raw meat for our grilling pleasure. In addition to this, we ordered edamame as an appetizer. - Lots of other mouthwatering menu options. - Our food came out within 2-3 minutes of ordering it. - Everything was fresh and of high quality, and the portions were quite reasonable - we left feeling comfortably stuffed. - Good value for the price. Cons: - No AYCE option - although, realistically, diners like ourselves would probably run a restaurant out of business with the amount of food we can pack away. A wonderful and worthwhile place to visit, especially if you're a fan of grilling your own food at the table. read more

Absolutely first rate little place a block from the Oxford cinema. There are about a dozen tables, all equipped with very modern looking BBQ plates. The menu covers all the standard Korean dishes, each accompanied by a nice photograph for those unfamiliar with the cuisine. My daughter (who is something of an expert) and I visited on a hot August lunchtime. Of the three other occupied tables, two were full of Koreans (which is always a good sign). She had the Bibimbap, while I went for the Manduk dumplings in beef broth. We shared the "bits" tray of kimchi and a spectacular pickled zucchini and with drinks the total, with tip, came to just under $50. Will definitely be going back. Just have to wait for the weather to cool a bit before firing up the Barbie! read more

Excellent Korean BBQ! Our friendly waitress Mandy was attentive and helpful in deciding what to have. The bulgogi beef was the best I've ever had. Short ribs also delicious. read more

Let me start by saying the service here was fantastic. They forgot to refill our water, but it was super busy and I was otherwise blown away so I am willing to overlook it. I think we waited under ten minutes for our food after we ordered and the tiny lady who served us was super friendly and helpful. Bravo. We received a generous portion of pork belly BBQ. Between the two of us we could barely finish it. Before the pork, we were served miso soup and rice. The sauce for the meat and the marinade was delicious. Sightly sweet but still faintly spicy and tangy. My only complaint was I would have liked a few more grilled mushrooms as many of the large chunks of onion remained untouched... and we like onion. The seats were comfortable and the built in BBQ was divine on such a cold and rainy evening. The place was packed full to the point of people coming in and leaving because there was a 20 minute wait for a table. A large reservation was also there. I'm glad we came when we did because it's a popular spot. For the two of us with tip we paid $60, so that's about $30 each. A tad expensive, but definitely worth it for a date night or if you have a large group of people and split it more ways. I'll definitely be returning here again. read more

This is a cute little spot. We were seated right away for a Friday night. There were so many options to choose from, but most people come for the Korean BBQ. For those who only eat seafood, like me, there were still many dishes to choose from. I ordered the Japchae, which usually comes with beef, but can be ordered as a vegetarian dish. Japchae is sweet potato noodles with stir fried vegetables. It has this amazing sweet, sesame and garlic sauce that is absolutely delicious. I only wish it had more vegetables, because it had mushrooms, some green peppers and a lot of onions. Like the whole onion. So for my pescatarians and vegetarians, I would recommend this dish, as well as to check out their other dishes. The service was superb. They were on point with topping up our water and checking on my friends BBQ meats. A must try. read more

My wife had an insatiable craving for Kim chi soup that resulted in a last minute order for take out. The food was ready by the time we got there 20 minutes later. We decided to ask to stay and eat in and the waitress was really accommodating and set us up at a table. My wife spent a few years in Soul, and gave the soup a solid 4 out of 5 - and would have given it a 4.5 if she could have. I had the beef boul go gi (sp?) and it was really nice as well. Dora the explorer playing in the background was a nice touch! ? read more

I'm honestly shocked at having to give BiOne three stars after reading so many glowing reviews, but there you have it. I came in today with a friend, around 4:30pm, and we were immediately greeted by the staff milling about, preparing for dinner service. The restaurant is small but very neat and clean, with special tables for bbq. I ordered bi bim bap and my friend a kind of spicy soup with noodles and mushrooms, the name of which I've completely forgotten. The service here was lovely and authentic. The waitress overheard me despairing over ever being able to eat correctly with chopsticks and tried to show me how to use them like a pro. This wasn't exactly successful. I'll probably always be a noob doomed to dropping rice all over the table and being judged by the waitstaff. Disclaimer: this was my first time trying bibimbap. Our food arrived looking beautiful, with three side dishes between the two of us (kimchi, noodles, and some kind of julienned potato? They were all tasty.) After I had mixed everything together, I dug in. First impressions: not great. Everything tasted bland...apart from the overpowering taste of burnt sesame oil. I'm not a huge fan of sesame oil, so maybe it wasn't burnt after all and it was supposed to taste that way... Even so, I couldn't distinguish any other flavour in my food, apart from some beef which was delicious. I found myself squeezing a lot of hot pepper paste just to give it taste, which I normally never, ever, do. (I find adding things like sriracha detracts from what I'm eating.) I'm really no expert on Korean food, so I turned to my friend who loves this cuisine, and she agreed with me: not what she was expecting from a bibimbap. She didn't enjoy her soup much, either. At least it wasn't too expensive - bibimbap was 11.99$ and I believe the soup was about the same. Maybe we were just there on a bad day, maybe their chef is new...it's difficult to say. The place seems popular (as we ate, the place was slowly filling with families speaking Korean, which is usually a good sign). Myself, I'd sooner head back to Seoul on Duke Street. read more

Had tried their bi bin bap before, both kinds, and they were awesome. Tried the Jae-yuk Bokum today, absolutely fabulous and delicious. Yes, it was a little greasy but very tasty. It came with a delish miso soup, and little 2oz cups of kimchi, potato salad(the noodle type), and seaweed salad. It was a takeout order and to find all of that nearly packed made me smile right away. Very thoughtfully they had also added a spoon n a fork and a chopstick. The maitre d/ server (name: Ainslee) was always smiling and very polite and accommodating. Loved the whole experience. Price just under $20 taxes in, was a good value for money. Will definitely return for both in-house and takeout. 4/5 read more

Road trip to Halifax amd found this little place with good service and food!! It's a must try if u are craving for Korean food.

Great find in Halifax. Food is fantastic and loved the experience. Excellent with a large group.

It is pricey but sooooo worth it! Great place the share a meal with friends. The ribs were amazing.

Good Korean food with friendly and attentive staff. Tends to get busy in the evening.

we did the bbq and what a great experience for the whole family! And food was delicious!

First time trying Korean bbq and this was 100% the best food I've ever had! The marinade they used for the beef is incredible. So fun being able to cook it yourself right in front of you. All of the side dishes that come with the meat are very tasty as well. I also tried the pork belly and the ribs as well and they were definitely a hit, I will say the beef was the best part though. And the service!! Our waitress was so helpful and so kind. Also the restaurant itself was so nicely decorated and gave off a super comfortable feel. read more

Quick service, really good food, and a nice atmosphere. I'm definitely coming back here next time I want a quick lunch!

Since Koo-E Nami closed down, I hadn't found another Korean restaurant that offers table top grilling, until I was told about Bione, I've passed this place a thousand times, and never once thought to go, and I'm kicking myself for not, because it is phenomenal The portion sizes were incredible my dinner partner and i split the dinner for two and was served enough food for four, Bulgogi, spare ribs, chicken and pork belly! Plus the side of miso soup, bowl of rice, kimchi, pickled potato and Wakame, we were running out of table room! It was all delicious! they also offer Japanese men, sushi, homemade noodles,and vegetarian dishes at an affordable price, if you love any of the food noted above, you HAVE to try Bione Korea read more

Great little spot. Food is super and service is fast. I've been there a few times and it is always consistent. Very authentic Korean food and we'll priced. You'll usually end up with more food than you can eat. read more

Well, the place is nice and crowded most of the time. Their food might be great for one who has Korean taste, but not for me to be honest. I tried noodle plate from Korean Cousine, and it was very hard for me to swallow the noodles, they were little different. Our server was an awesome waitress by the way, she knows how to behave a customer. read more

Best Korean restaurant ever! Highly recommend!!!!!Good service and food is fast. Tasty food.

I live around the Quinpool area and after the first time I tried BiOne I was hooked. I'm a pescatarian so I haven't had their BBQ but I've had their Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (Rice topped with vegetables, tofu [or beef] and a friend egg on top served in a hot stone bowl with miso soup and hot sauce on the side. YUM.) and their seafood soup which have both been incredible. They have lunch specials during the day which make the prices reasonable. The waitresses are all really nice and they have menus both in English and in Korean, I think that is a really nice touch. read more
