Recently ordered the soft tofu ramen (which wasn't actually on the menu at the time), and when it first arrived, I have to admit it looked pretty plain. Nothing really stood out visually, and to be honest, I was expecting it to be a bit bland. However, after the first few bites, I was pleasantly surprised--it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. What really stood out to me was the unique aftertaste. There was a subtle hint of sweetness that lingered after each bite, and it was unlike any other soft tofu ramen I've had elsewhere. I can't quite put my finger on whether it came from the broth, the tofu, or the noodles themselves, but it added a really distinctive flavor that kept me coming back for more. The service was equally impressive. The older gentleman and his wife were incredibly kind and accommodating. Not only were they willing to make a dish that wasn't currently on the menu, but they also substituted ramen for rice without charging extra. On top of that, they personally brought the food to our table, even though customers typically pick up their orders at the counter. Overall, I was very impressed by both the soft tofu ramen and the exceptional hospitality. Great food, great service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back for more. Yummm! read more

Lotte Bunsik - Soft tofu ramen - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Came to check out the food court however, the shop and the barbecue chicken and the shop were the only ones open all they serve the full Korean menu. The flavors were lacking for the dip and Bob the meat was cold and for the kimchi stew it was very one note and the sides felt stale. Unfortunately, the food court area is rundown. Would recommend going to Hmart food court instead read more

The food was alright. Not sure if it was because they were nearing the end of the day. Service is self order on a machine and they will call your name for pickup. The fried rice was just a little to wet for me and the kimchi in the sides were okay. Ambiance is the food court sectioned away from the supermarket. read more

Lotte Bunsik - K17 Bulgogi Kimch Bokkeumbap - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The food here was pretty decent and the portions were good. It's always nice when you get made to order food at a food court. The kimchi pancake was crispy, but I was surprised it had shredded carrots, and lots of it. I'd prefer a bit more kimchi or even chopped onions/scallions. The cheese corn was a lot more wet than I'd prefer, probably because it comes (understandably considering the location) in an aluminum container than a skillet and maybe because they didn't fully drain the corn juice. I took the home leftovers and made it better by adding more cheese and letting it dry out in a convection oven. The shrimp fried rice wasn't too bad, probably could use a bit more salt or soy sauce. Portion was great, could likely split this if you're not a huge eater. Overall not bad, I'd come back to try other items here read more

I've found hair in the riceballs twice. The shrimp they use in their fried rice is that frozen tiny shrimp. Of course there is no service whatsoever. This isn't any different from eating at the food court in the mall. This place is not hygienic at all. I don't recommend unless you want rude service. read more

Eaten here 3 times. The first time was delicious. Soondubu my favorite soup. It's the only thing I order everywhere I go. 2nd time somehow the tofu were burnt. Still good. 3rd time. Didn't enjoy it as much. Left most of it behind. read more

Food 3/5 Love a hot stone bibimap with the crunchy rice that comes from the hot stone bowl that the meal is in but this meal was missing all my favorite toppings that I assume are included with it. It came with mushrooms, yellow squash, a spicy kimchi and like bean sprouts, but it was missing the spinach and more meat with the rice as well as lacking in the side. They only came with a little side of kimchi some sort of broth and two containers of the spicy Korean pepper paste but quite watery and very little meat and the kiosk has all the different options to add on including a fried eggs so I paid extra to add the fried egg because I thought it wouldn't include the usual egg but it did but it's lacking in the additional veggies and I should've paid for more meat so now I know if I come back in the future Ambiance-4/5 in food court inside Lotte Food Mart Service 3/5- ring a bell and don't call your number read more

The food here is always very good. The kimchi fried rice is one of my favorites from them. They're also very nice every-time I go.

Lotte Market Food Court is finally open and they are housing several eateries. My first try was Lotte Bunsik and it was thumbs up all around the table. Bunsik is a generic term used to refer to inexpensive Korean dishes. The term bunsik literally means "food made from flour." Customer service was exceptional. Someone came from around the counter to explain the menu and offer her own recommendations as well as customer faves. We placed our order for a couple rice dishes and a couple noodle dishes. While waiting for our food, the hostess brought over an order of Tteokbokki on the house for us to try. Everything was delicious. The tonkatsu pork cutlet was crisp on the outside and tender inside. The rice dishes came out with the good rice cooked perfectly, iykyk. All dishes were flavorful. They were very generous with the side dishes and sauces. Portions were plentiful and served on real dishes with silverware which was unexpected and very nice for a food court. The only thing that isn't great is the dining area. There is not much room between tables. People standing on line were barely 2 feet away from us while we were eating. I will definitely return during slow times so I can enjoy a nice hot meal in peace. read more

This is a new restaurant that is located inside of the Lotte Supermarket. The staff: They are friendly here and are helpful with the menu. They take good care of the customers. Beef Sundubu: This has flavor and is actually better than most of the Korean restaurants in town. Kimchi Ramen w/ Mandu: This is nothing special because it is just the Shin ramen from the supermarket with some dumplings. Bibimbap: This is actually pretty tasty and has flavor to the rice. The texture of the ingredients is on point. Gimbap: This is unique and also very delicious. They use the purple rice which is a bit healthier than the other types of rice. This is like a snack to me and I love it. Overall: The staff here is wonderful and the food here is delicious. I hope I am able to try the rest of their menu soon. read more

I love the fact that Lotte Market has opened up their food court and I can get my kim chi fried rice or bibimbap without needing to leave the supermarket. Yes, if you must know, I'm a regular here at least once a week because I do shop for groceries as well. The food is flavorful and portion size is decent. Service is friendly and the best part is that there's desserts in the food court area so meal and then sweets. (Win win!!!) The only downside is the seating here. You sit very close to other strangers stuffing your face haha. read more

Been here a few times and tried a lot of the dishes, and they have been 4 to 4.5 stars. Lately they have been lacking in flavor and cooking skills. We went Wednesday and it was not busy at all so we figured garb some food before we shop. My son ordered the noodles with black bean sauce that was also ok but the noodle a bit undercooked. We waited about 10 to 15 mins for our food and did not expect the dishes undercooked. Hope they get better might just stick to the food next to them Was a Roos up to give them a 2 or 3 star would have went with 2.5 read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES AND VALUE YOUR SAFETY! Lotte Bunsik never fails to disappoint. They will make your order wrong every single time, putting you and your family members at risk. We have tried coming back here on a handful of occasions and literally explaining IN KOREAN that there are food allergies, but have still found gigantic chunks of the allergens when we check our food... which we then have to throw out because we cannot consume any contaminated foods. The service here is appalling and the cooking is sub-par (at best). It's honestly not even worth the headache of trying to support this business anymore. read more

This a newly open restaurant within LOTTE MARKET that I'm interested in coming back to try again! They had great customer service and you can tell it's a family operated business. The menu has a wide selection of food to try, and they also have options that are less typical than your soondubu or kimchi fried rice (janchi guksu, bibim guksu, jangeo deopbap, etc). I got the bibim guksu (delicious!) and ended up sharing with my brother as it was easily 2 portions. It does get very busy, especially on the weekends and I noticed that they don't have buzzers that let customers know when the food is ready. It would definitely be beneficial for them, as the cashier had to leave the register sometimes to let people know their food was at the counter or even brought the food to their table. read more

Still wish you could give half stars. I would give this place a solid 3.5 the food was good - got the bibimbap lunch special with beef. The beef portion was tiny, it was about four small pieces, veggies were good, rice was on the side which made it kind of odd to eat because usually rice is on the bottom of a bibimbap and I didn't have a plate or bowl to transfer it onto or into. Had a small side of kimchee and no other sides - guess I am spoiled by the places in my area who give you a least a couple. Price was good, would order again because it's close to the office. read more

Ok so I haven't tried anything but the JapChae with Beef..... but when something is so so good, why change .

The service was pretty decent. I got my food relatively fast. I ordered the kimchi fried rice and my friend ordered tteokbokki. I really enjoyed the kimchi fried rice, it was incredibly good. However, after I tried some of my friend's tteokbokki, I was kinda disappointed. The tteokbokki wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be... read more

Lotte Bunsik - Kimchi fried Rice - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

The first place I'd go before I do my grocery shopping. Honestly, the food here. Is awesome, also a quick bite so I can brainstorm on what I should buy to cook at home. The cashier is upper friendly. There are many options to choose. I highly recommend read more

As a Korean-American I have EXTREMELY high standards for what I consider good, authentic Korean food......who knew this little hole in the wall in the Lotte food court would blow my expectations out of the water. ALL of the flavors are completely on point (maybe the most important thing about Korean cuisine) and none of the ingredients have been watered down or replaced to appease the western palette - I repeat, this is some of the best, most authentic Korean food I've had EVER. The Soojaebi was so well cooked, and the flavors had such a kick while still having a smooth creaminess, and the vegetables were so fresh....I never knew onions could be so good. If you can't afford a ticket to Korea to grab a bite, go get ANYTHING from Bunsik, it's just as good if not better. read more

Lotte Bunsik - Soojaebi - Korean Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Lotte Bunsik comes through every time I'm craving Korean food! It is located inside Lotte Market, which is an Asian grocery store. The staff are very kind and helpful, especially since there's a bit of a language barrier. Feel free to ask for translations or clarify things on the menu! The dining area is shared with BBQ Chicken, Gong Cha, Mochi Ring, and a bakery. I wish Lotte Market would update the dining area with more seats or fix any broken chairs and tables. Other than that, I have no complaints! I've been fortunate to try the steamed dumplings, gimbap, bulgogi with rice, seafood tofu soup, and stone bowl bibimbap. The prices for everything match pretty much all of the other Korean shops in the area. The bulgogi was flavorful and was a good portion with the purple rice it came with. Dumplings are a comfort food for me, and they were no different here. I can't wait to try the other variations of mandu. Sushi is also another comfort dish for me, so the gimbap hit the spot for me too. My favorite dishes are the seafood tofu soup and the stone bowl bibimbap. I was only trying to order the bibimbap last time, but a little confusion and I ended up with both of these dishes haha. The owner was super nice and helped me pack the second dish for home. Both of these dishes were flavorful and decent portion sizes. The spicy seafood tofu soup was indeed spicy, so be careful of that if that's not your cup of tea. You do get a cup of rice with it to help offset the spice. The dolsot bibimbap was a dream with the rice having the right amount of crispiness and being the right amount for the rest of the veggies and meat. Next time, I would add chili sauce to this dish or try a spicy meat variation! Lotte Bunsik is a great addition to Lotte Market and the perfect place to have lunch at. There's still an entire menu for me to try and I can't wait to be back! read more

If you really want to experience authentic Korean food, this is the place to go. I have been to many different Korean restaurant in the area but this is my top favorite spot. I also recommend to try their street food menu as well. DDUK-BOK-Ki is one of my favorite. Very friendly staff and family welcoming environment is also can't forget to mention. The price is very reasonable and portion is very happy portion. :) Highly recommend read more

I ordered bulgogi kimchi stew! The portion is pathetic, only 2 small slice of beef and few piece of kimchi, rest just soup. The soup tastes on the sweet side, which was not taste that I like. Definitely will not go back again. read more

This is a really good place to get your Korean food cravings. The homemade kimchi is freshly made everyday and it was really good. My daughter had the Tonkatsu and she loved it, i had the Seolleong Tang and it was perfect comfort food for this winter. Glad this place is not too far from me. read more

Ordered food for delivery. I got the Cheese Tteokbokki and Bulgogi Kimchi Bokkeumbap which came with a tiny container of salad and kimchi. Everything was packaged well, Tteokbokki was also wrapped in a little plastic bag just in case there was any spillage (there was not). Tbh i wasn't really impressed with the Tteokbokki, something about the sauce had a grainy texture to it. The Bulgogi Kimchi Bokkeumbap was delicious and had a very good amount of beef mixed in. All in all, I would order from this restaurant again but pass on the Tteokbokki. read more

I support this Korean food all the time but now not anymore. This place not responsible with any double order because of their system down and what they only do is push all the responsibilities to customer. The previous lady is nice and friendly but the current lady is not. read more

Location is in the Lotte grocery store. Hard to find by gps. Small Asian food court in the nook of the store. Great food and others stores are available for dessert. read more

Authentic Korean food in a food court. The order was accurate and fast. We got tonkatsu and kimchi chige. Pork was a bit on the thin side but good. The place can be cleaned up a little as most of the tables were dirty. read more
