    Busan Korean Restaurant - Kimchi

    I got the hot stone bibimbap but requested for spicy pork instead of beef bulgogi. 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.

    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, specifically missing the garlic flavor. I feel like traditional recipes might be used from other regions. . The flavors of everything were well-rounded and there was no single flavor that stood out. The Yakimandu was served with a dipping sauce and came out with the meal. The presentation was nice and the food was pretty good. 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 dish- 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.
