    Egg Omelette Rice (Ume Rice) I believe it was called.
    Christen F.

    We drove over an hour to visit this place. It was so delicious. The outside is a bit dated but has so much potential. We waited for a table outside because it was a bit cramped inside but it's such a cozy little place. The food was all delicious. You could tell the food was made with heart. The star was definitely our server! She was an older lady and was just a kind lady. I loved her. She was very attentive and her personality just shines! I hope when we get to visit again she will be there. I was really hopeful to try an egg Sando but they didn't have any in the little fridge so I hope I can get one next time. My biggest recommendation is the apple honey tea! It was delicious! Especially on a cold day I got it hot and it was just so comforting. We can't wait to visit again and I hope all the workers know they are doing amazing!

    Don't judge a book by its cover! Outside is a little rundown but warm and welcoming inside. We had some yummy hot tea to warm us up and amazing food! My mother in law is Korean so I wasn't sure if it would be what I'm use to but pleasantly surprised! My teen has already asked to go back!

    Absolutely my new favorite place to grab lunch! Authentic and fresh. Highly recommend you try a blueberry green tea (iced) on a warm day.

    Highly recommend! Fresh and authentic. I recommend trying an iced blueberry green tea, super refreshing on a warm day.

    Galbi was tasty and tender.

    First time was a hit. Food and service were great. Definitely will come back for more.

    Cute Korean spot in crestview Recommend the beef bulgogi stew; but a bit too sweet to my liking A parking spot in front. Friendly service. Yummy banchon

    [Hot Kimchi] Small local family-owned Korean restaurant in Crestview, FL. This is really sort of a hidden gem we kinda stumbled upon and close to authentic. We came across this place and went in, asked for a table of 8 but they said No table. We walked out but then I went back in and ask if we could combine 2 tables together. Luckily, we were able to eat here because it was so worth it. Maybe the wife / owner didn't understand but it worked out. This place also is single family owned: husband, wife, and a baby daughter. Small family owned restaurants have a special place in my heart Spicy rice cakes were amazing. Super soft with the right amount of chew plus that sweet, spicy sauce. The Korean fried chicken was one of the best fried chickens I've ever had. Super crispy (but not to the point of dry hard crispy) but that perfect crispy and it was so so juicy. Perfect combo: KFC + that spicy rice cake sauce. I don't remember the rest of the entrees we got but everything was good. I got the beef Sundubu I believe. It was good and the rice was the quality of rice that I like. Overall: 10/10 496 N Ferdon Blvd Crestview, FL 32536

    This past Thursdays special was inspired by the movie 'Parasite'. Spicy beef noodles with an udon flavor.

    This place gives a 'homie' feel. The service is good, the food does not lack flavor and there's a variety of dishes to suit your Korean cravings.

    Everything was so tasty and wonderful! The service was a tad slow but it was a busy Friday night so that's expected anywhere. Service overall was kind and attentive! It was such a cute place as well 10/10 would come to again!

    Good as usual. Kimchi bimbibop picture upload. Go eat some Korean! Hot stew or soup in the winter is good.

    Busan is a cozy Korean restaurant with a great staff that treats you like family. This was my first…read moretime dining here. It's relaxing, quiet and just right for a late lunch (almost 3 pm) after a very busy day. I was greeted by a gentleman as I was walking in the door. He took my drink order immediately and left me alone to study the menu. They have so many offerings on their menu. I like to start with my favorite and a very basic Korean entree - beef bulgogi. I was too late to order from the lunch menu but that didn't bother me. It means I get more banchan (side dishes) served with my meal! I ordered Yakimandu as an appetizer and beef bulgogi for my entree. I asked about their side dishes and he listed those that would be served with my meal, and that he offers 2 additional side dishes upon request. I opted out of one of the side dishes because I won't eat it. No sense in wasting food! He came around with a second set of the side dishes that I said I liked and without me having to ask. I liked all of the food and will return to dine here again. The flavors are a little different from what I'm accustomed to (more commercial restaurants) but I feel like traditional recipes are used. The food tastes like what you might expect in a Korean family home. The flavors of everything were well-rounded and there was no single flavor that stood out. In my opinion, that is what we all strive for. The Yakimandu was served with a dipping sauce and came out with the meal. The presentation was nice and the food was wonderful. The beef bulgogi was definitely better than most restaurants I have ordered it from. The side dishes were exceptional. I absolutely LOVE the daikon radish side dishes- it's my favorite part of the meal. I was so happy when I heard that it would be served alongside my meal today. It was as good as I had hoped! I also love spicy cucumber and kimchi. Both are very good here. The two sides I wasn't familiar with were the potatoes (served instead of bean sprouts) and the veggie pancake. I wasn't sure what to expect but I dug in. Like I've said in other reviews, I love potatoes almost as much as I love my husband. These are similar in shape & size as a thick shredded hash brown. They are cooked until just done and served at room temperature. They don't have a lot of seasoning so they would be a perfect complement to a spicy dish. The vegetable pancake had a unique flavor that I cannot seem to describe. It was mild and tasty. I have nothing to compare it to but I will be happy to have it again. Overall a very nice experience at Busan Korean restaurant. The lady who came out from the kitchen stopped by my table to talk for a few minutes. Both staff members were incredibly kind and appreciated my business.

It was good but…read morethe only complaint I have is that the saamjang sauce seemed store bought- from a bottle/the shelf. If it was freshly made, it would have made the food experience perfect. The service I got was from an older gentleman and when I say gentleman, I mean it. Bless his soul 10/10 impeccable service and attentiveness. I was served some delicious sides, 6 in total that came with miso soup. The kimchi was on point along with the seasoned bean sprouts and cucumbers. I was pleasantly surprised by the korean pancake as a side dish. The ambiance is very chill. When I came in there was a group of three teenage girls already about halfway through enjoying their meal. The restaurant is set up similar to any eatery would be in Korea. There are many tables (two group tables (8 seats per table)) and two booths, plus an additional four, four-seaters along the wall. It's very cozy yet has ample space. Everyone that came in to eat seemed to have a chill time.

My husband and I ordered two Choice Course meals,…read moreand let me just say... we definitely overestimated how much food we could eat The portions were HUGE, and we probably could have gotten away with ordering just one course between us (not that we're complaining). The Korean fried chicken was absolutely incredible. Like, "I'm already full but I'm going to keep eating this anyway" incredible. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. I also ordered the Matcha Made in Heaven cocktail, and WOW. I'm not even a huge matcha fan, but I was completely blown away by this drink. It was so smooth and delicious that I genuinely couldn't taste the alcohol at all. Dangerous? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely We basically rolled ourselves out of the restaurant in a full-blown Korean food coma, which I consider the sign of a successful dinner. Everything we had was delicious, the portions were generous, the service was amazing, the ambiance was great, and the whole experience was fantastic. We'll definitely be back! Sura has officially earned a top spot on our favorite restaurant list.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO COME HERE?! and because i have so much time to make up for, i came again less than two weeks later and brought my daughter so she could experience the amazingness. it's a small restaurant like the cafe in FWB, but there's no wait! the staff and service is great!! first time i ordered the domo chashu black ramen with spice and the ragin godzilla roll. it was so much food for me i had to take it home. the flavor in the broth with the subtle spice was just incredible. and the chashu pork was literally out of this world good. the way it was seared gave it such a depth of flavor that isn't common with that kind of pork in ramen. at least not anywhere i've been. the sushi roll was one of my favorites ive ever had. i brought my kid here a week later because i wanted AND NEEDED that ramen again. it might've been even better the second time. idk. i finished it all because i didn't get a roll with it. my daughter got the techno roll and was in sushi heaven. for the record, she's 8 yrs old. techno roll is a cucumber roll with raw fish, roe, and micro greens, and she ate almost the entire thing minus a couple pieces. she loved it. i'm raising a foodie so don't underestimate her taste buds. you need to come here for GREAT sushi and ramen when in the Destin area. i'm already drooling thinking about coming back for the ramen.
