The food comes to the table very temp hot, so take caution when eating...the great thing is your food will not go cold in the stone bowls :) The place is very cozy, so not a place for a serious conversation with someone, very chill atmosphere.

We also tried the Korean BBQ, which was both fun and delicious to cook right at the table. The bulgogi dolsot was my personal favorite--it stayed hot in the stone bowl the entire time and was delicious! One nice bonus: if you pay with cash, your bill ends up being a few dollars cheaper. We were there celebrating a birthday, and the staff made it extra special by writing "Happy Birthday" on our appetizer plate, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, the service was friendly, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was delicious. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

The food comes out relatively quickly and the service is very good. I've come here a couple of times. My favorites are the steak short ribs (Galbi), bulgogi, and the Korean fried chicken (you can split the flavors half and half). My friends and I wanted to try something new and so we got the pork ribs (they were ehh); also, the chicken dinner dish was also very average. There was only one mishap once where the fried chicken we got was cold. However, once the waitress knew about this she got us a new dish which was very kind. This place can hold a lot of people and has a lot seating!

We went for dinner yesterday and the staff we interacted with was sweet and our food came out quickly. The inside consists of two long rooms with plenty of seating available. While we dined in, we saw a good amount of takeout being ordered. The portions were generous and I really loved the perfectly seasoned bulgogi and the enormous crispy Korean fried chicken wings with the most delicious sauce. My favorite though was the chuncheon spicy chicken with cheese and ramen - if you love spicy food you need to get this! I was so sweaty from eating this and I mean this in the most complimentary way. The only constructive criticism I have is that the chive pancake wasn't what I expected - i was thinking it was going to be a flat crispy pancake and it came out as a big roll essentially. It still tasted good though. I can't wait to come back!!

It came with 3 side dishes of bean sprouts, kimchi, and broccoli. I quite liked each of the side dishes. The bean sprouts were soooo good! The soondoobu was very typical, slightly sweet, slightly spicy. I would like if there was a bit more soup and less things so I could put my rice in more. The galbi gui was very yummy and had a nice bbq flavor. I would say the portions are SMALL for the prices. I was very suprised when it came and the galbi was the side of my hand. The bowl for the tofu soup was also very small. For $26 and $18 respectively I thought it should be at least a little bigger. I honestly thought it was a cheaper lunch portion. The food here was a pleasant surprise and the other customer seem to know the owner very well!

Seems like there's a charge and no extra protein included. wanted to love the food and there's potential but the price gouging has to stop. Until then unfortunately I won't be eating here anymore.

I tried the meat seeker corn dog, and then went back for the tradition boon seeker corn dog because it was so damn good. You can also top the corn dogs with bulgolgi for a few bucks extra. I love the amazingly sweet and savory topping that is encrusted on the breading outside. They also serve kimbap, Korean fried chicken and dumplings. The Bulgogi mandoo dumplings are also amazing. They're filled with marinated beef, carrots, garlic, cabbage, and noodles. Overall, I would totally visit the Boonseek again!

I tried both bulgogi and tofu bentos; both had lots of beef/tofu and write rice but not too much of anything else. A few peppers/carrots sprinkled in and a couple small bites on the side (pickled veggie bites, mini fried dumplings), but these were minor additions. The servings of beef/tofu were very generous though. They felt on the saucy side to me, but some people may like that. My food was ready pretty quickly both times. Bentos are reasonably priced at $12-$15. Seating upstairs is limited (the space is just a bit small) but I was able to find a table both times. They have AC and fans but it is a little warm in the summer.
