They share their location with Katsuya so it helps when your group wants two different things! I ordered the combo tteokbokki order and got rose tteokbokki, pork mandu, seaweed roll and it also comes with onigiri and soup. All that was only for $15, so I would say it's a great lunch deal! I only finished about half of it so I have plenty for dinner. The rose TBK is the perfect amount of spice, but if you are sensitive I would recommend the carbonara TBK instead. I loved the seaweed rolls, especially when dipping it in the sauce! The only thing that can be difficult is that the restaurant is self service. You only interact with a server when they bring your food out, so getting a to-go box had a bit of a wait. Other than that I would say this a nice quick & easy lunch spot in the Financial District :) read more

We were looking for a quick dinner spot in the city and thought we were going to Katsuya but then realized the combo restaurant set up. We ended up ordering from the Seoul Bunsik kiosk. Once you order, you seat yourself and wait until they bring out the food. Water is self serveI think most people do take out. We ordered the Tteokbokki combo box which comes with your choice of rice cakes (original, rose, or carbonara) and a side (Pork Mandu, veggie mandu, seaweed rolls, sweet potato fries, or cheese balls). There was a small side of rice and oden soup as well. Carbonara tteokbokki (4/5): Obviously this gave a pasta vibe. It had a thick, creamy sauce with onions and ham. It was very heavy. Seaweed rolls (5/5): You can't go wrong with fried foods! This was a perfect side with the tteokbokki because it pairs well when dipped in the sauce. Cheese Corndog (3/5): This was your typical Korean corndog filled with melted cheese and sausage. It wasn't as crispy as ones I've had before though. Good to dip in tteokbokki sauce. So-Tteok (2/5): This was a sausage skewer with fried tteok brushed with a sweet sauce. I didn't care for this too much. It seems like it is a good spot for lunch during the work week. It is a very casual eatery. read more

Seoul Bunsik - TBK Combo Box Cheese Corndog - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tip: try to order before getting there; we didn't mind waiting but it's restaurant quality food so will take 15+ min even though your ordering from a kiosk! Lots of seating inside; most people took their orders to go. Ordered the set with carbonara (for my toddler) and she loved the chewy rice cake, rice ball, dumplings, fried seaweed and soup that came with it. My husband & I enjoyed the kimchi fried rice with spam but it's a pretty tasty dish, hard to mess up. Water was self-serve and it was a little chilly inside because the door was left open (lots of foot traffic). I walked here from my hotel (Omni) and enjoyed the food right after pickup - no complaints! read more

Seoul Bunsik - Menu and order kiosks - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I got the rose tteokboki combo and it was great! I had low expectations going in but the flavor for everything was great. Combo comes with tteokboki and you can choose 2 sides and it comes with some rice and a bowl of soup. I thought for $15.5 it was a great deal. (For my sides i got the pork mandu and seaweed roll). They also give a generous amount of rice cakes in the tteokboki which I was surprised considering the cost. The soup it came with was just okay, too salty for me and definitely tasted like MSG. Overall i liked this place, would come back again! I went at 12pm on a Wednesday and it was empty but shortly after I ordered a wave of ppl came. I would say it took a bit for my food to come out even though it was empty when i ordered. Wished it came out quicker. read more

Seoul Bunsik - TBK Combo Box - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Weird food I didn't like any of it. Didn't look like anything real. The soup was weird tasting and had some kind of sausages floating around. read more

seoul bunsik is located in the international food court with other restaurants. it's set up similarly to a mall food court, where you order at the counter and then you can take your food to-go or eat at a table. since it's located downtown, it's super hard to find parking. i'd only go in-person when it's convenient, but the food tastes just as good when ordered for delivery. - tteokbokki (4.5/5): definitely had a kick! it was exactly what i would expect from tteokbokki, with a good depth of gochujang flavor. i loved the spiciness, but my boyfriend thought it was too spicy. the sauce was a little on the watery end, but it was thick enough to coat the rice cakes and fish cakes. the rice cakes were perfectly chewy, and i thought there was a good ratio of rice cakes to toppings - carbonara tteokbokki (4/5): lighter than i expected it to be, although still a little heavy because of the oil and cream sauce. it was very rich and creamy, and i liked the addition of ham - rose tteokbokki (4.5/5): this was my favorite tteokbokki! it tasted almost like the middle ground between the regular and carbonara tteokbokki. it was creamy but also had a slight kick, though less spicy then the regular tteokbokki. i thought it would've been perfect if the sauce was a little thicker - kimchi fried rice (3.5/5): this had a great kimchi flavor, which was savory and tangy. there was lots of kimchi in it, but it would've been better if the kimchi was chopped up instead of in big pieces. the egg was fried well, but the rice was a little mushy. it was a good portion of food - fried seaweed roll (2/5): just ok. i thought they could've been crispier, and i wasn't a fan of the flavor, which i thought was one-note. i typically like kimmari with a slightly sweeter and deeper flavor. it would've been nice if it came with a kimmari dipping sauce to add more flavor - cheese balls (4/5): surprisingly slightly sweet! they came with a spicy mayo sauce, which was good but overshadowed the slightly sweet flavor of the cheese. if you want more of a savory dish, i would recommend dipping them in the sauce, but i ate them plain since i enjoyed the sweetness. the balls were oily, and i could feel the oil seeping out in each bite. i liked the chewy mochi-like texture - so-tteok (3/5): rice cakes and mini sausages covered in a slightly sweet and tangy glaze. i thought the dish was okay, but i wasn't a big fan of the sauce and it could've used more seasoning overall. i did like the chewiness of the rice cakes, which were fried seoul bunsik's main focus - the tteokbokki - was tasty, and the portion was great! everything else was okay, but i'm not sure that i would order them again if i came back. my favorite was the rose tteokbokki, which i would definitely recommend trying! read more

Great FiDi lunch option. The restaurant is located in the international food quart. Make sure you get here before the lunch rush. The food quart can get a bit loud. I ordered the kimchi fried rice. Kimchi fried rice tastes fine (a bit mushy) but was really really oily. I soaked 4 napkins in full. Rose tteokbokki was flavorful. The meal set came with a side of oden which was nice. Good portion sizes and glad to see Korean food offerings in the area. read more

Combo box (rose tteokbokki, fried mandu, gimmari) - 5/5, comes with a generous portion of tteokbokki, 3 fried mandu, 2/3 gimmari, scoop of rice, and fishcake soup. The sauce was super flavorful and the tteok was chewy! It's a bit in the watery side, but the flavor sticks to the tteok fine. Gimmari and fried mandu were perfect on its own and dipped into the sauce. The fishcake soup was alright, and they only gave a small cut of fishcake. Great place when you're craving korean streetfood! read more

This spot is located in the international food court underground. It's set up similar to a mall food court. My friend and I really enjoyed the sauce that came with the sausage and rice cake skewer.

Seoul Bunsik - So-Tteok (Sausage Skewer) and rice cake - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yet another great Korean offerings in the underground food court. No cashier, just order at a kiosk then swipe your credit card then collect your food a little while later. Some pretty unique dishes you don't often see around town. Rosé Creamy Tteokbokki: Very unique! It's from the same book of magic that put heavy cream into a tomato-based curry to make the beloved chicken tikka masala. The typical spicy tteokbokki sauce becomes so much more complex with a little bit of dairy. And I wouldn't think of it as less spicy, but just better balanced. The chewy doughy tteokbokki made me think of eating big gnocchi in a creamy tomato vodka sauce. Though the fish cakes were distinctively fishy, so you can't mistake this for Italian or Indian. And the almost raw onion chunks were an interesting addition, helping add some tang to the big rice cakes. Though the rich cream gets pretty filling, so you might not finish the whole dish. Very memorable. Korean Noodle Soup w/ Chicken & Mandu: Decided to get the regular version since I wanted to really appreciate the 8+ hour simmered chicken broth. It was comforting for sure, but it wasn't mind blowing. Also, it seemed they went a bit crazy with the thick noodles leaving not much space for the broth. The chicken was tender though mild. Same with the carrot and zucchini slices. The only thing with a lot of flavor was the optional mandu add-on I selected. Tasted freshly made since the dough was tender and the veggies inside were fresh, plus the meat (pork?) was good too. Not sure I'd get this again though, would probably stick with the tteokbokki next time. Cheese Corndog: Not the dense cornmeal you'd find on a regular corndog, but lighter and chewier. Loved that so much of it was just filled with gooey cheese. Though there was a little smoky sausage by the stick. The abundance of ketchup on top was perfect. Fried Seaweed Roll: Looks like deep fried sushi, but under the crispy tempura shell and papery seaweed wrap is a bunch of squishy glass noodles. Fun flavor contrast throughout all the different layers. But didn't feel that substantive since it was just carby. read more

This spot is in a food court in the financial district. My sister and I got the rose TBK, with a bunch of sides. We got the fried sweet potato, gimmari, por mandu, and so-tteok. Everything was so yummy but the dukbokki was a little too runny. I really enjoyed the fried sweet potato and so-tteok! read more

Seoul Bunsik - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Food is GOOD. Just takes forever. None of the workers talk ot greet you. But you get a taste of Japan & korea in one spot

Hot. Spicy. Saucy. Cheesy. Chewy. Carbs. HELL YAS! Though your belly and porcelain throne may be giving you the side eye. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Korean food has been having a moment and Seoul Bunsik is here to satisfy your hot, spicy, carb heavy Korean cravings (bunsik = food made from flour). Seoul Bunsik serves Korean Street Food: Gimmari (fried seaweed rolls), Tteokbokki (rice cakes), Mandu (fried potstickers), and KFC Popcorn Chicken. It's a ghost kitchen so takeout and delivery only via 3rd party apps. For their tteokbokki, there's two options: standard cylinder or noodle (like udon). Spice levels: Regular, Spicy, or Fire. As others have stated, regular is spicy enough unless you want to light your toilet paper on fire. I ordered delivery via DoorDash and my order was delivered in about an hour. Everything was securely packaged in a sealed bag and a kind thank you note. F O O D * Gimmari: Fried Seaweed Rolls (10 pc -$4): https://bit.ly/3z3fadR A popular Korean street food snack of glass noodles wrapped in seaweed then fried. The gimmari was crunchy on the outside with chewy, noodles on the inside. Dip it in the spicy, creamy tteokbooki sauce...so good! * Creamy aka Rose Tteokbokki ($14.50): https://bit.ly/32Hl4FH ***Add cheese (+$3) ***Add mini sausages (+$3) ***Option to add egg (+$1.50) but I added one on my own at home. The Rose Tteokbokki was so deliciously satisfying with chewy rice cakes, savory mini sausages, soft sheets of fish cakes, acidic kimchi, and plenty of melty cheesy goodness. The sauce was creamy and spicy; regular spicy packed a good amount of heat. This is a very rich and heavy dish so it's good for sharing. I could only eat ¼ of the portion. I enjoyed Seoul Bunsik's food but I was HELLA thirsty afterwards. Not many places in the city serve Rose Tteokbokki so if you're looking to get your fix, give Seoul Bunsik a try! read more

Seoul Bunsik moved out of the International Food Court along with Katsuya and moved into 132 Bush St. The tteokbokki is as good as ever as a rainy day lunch downtown. read more

A ghost kitchen with tables and chairs. Collocated with Katsuya, this store front has no wait staff. The kitchen was a two person crew entertaining a slew of mobile delivery orders and a couple of in person guests including us. This location is so ghost, they didn't even have bottled water. Their rose tteokbokki was not a true rose sauce. Skip the carbonara tteokbokki, carbonara is only meant in an Italian restaurant. Maybe the food was actually good at their previous location but it only leaves room for disappointment here. read more

Good, simple clean tasting Korean street food. I got exactly what I wanted but didn't get to try their tteokbokki which I will next time. Skewers: simple, classic. Rice cakes nice and crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside. Spicy sweet gochujang sauce. Seaweed roles: good texture and fun to eat, but a little bland on its own. Must dip in sauce- either your tteokbokki or skewer sauce, then it's perfect. Spicy noodles: not bad considering this is kind of a fast food joint. Pretty solid taste and depth of the broth. Next time I'd like to try the original. But great noodles and a good serving of veggies. One thing I would change is the noodles come inside the soup when you order takeout, I wish they were separate so the noodles would be less soggy. read more

Location changed and is not at 380 Bush, but hasn't been updated anywhere online. I placed a Grubhub pickup order and went to pickup, only to be met with an empty register and no staff. I asked the next door store if they are here, and they told me to go two blocks down because they moved. I would have hoped that the pickup location on any online entry points like Maps, Yelp, grubhub would have been updated to the new location, but it was not. I went to the supposed new location / sister restaurant and the employees connected me to a call with the owner, and the owner said they are closed, apologized for the mix up and said online orders should not have been accepted but they were. I did not end up receiving my order as they were closed (but said open online) and not at the right location. I ended up receiving a refund for my order, but did waste a lot of time going back and forth trying to figure out where to get my order and didn't even end up receiving it. TLDR the location isn't 380 bush street anymore so be wary of going in person or placing pickup orders. Hours are also different on Maps, grubhub, and yelp so it's confusing when they are actually open. read more

Seoul Bunsik - Carbonara Tteokbokki nd Cheese Puff Balls - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I discovered this place on Doordash, I believe they are on other food applications! I had the Dak-gangjeong and Rosé tteokbbeokki. The rose tteokbbeokki is really good!! After trying another, this one tends to be on the sweeter side of things, but also more flavorful and different compared to the traditional version. The dak-gangjeong is on the sweeter side of things, not like orange chicken from panda express but it does have some familiar tastes, but a lot more crunchy. Total with delivery came to around $30 for both! Will order again when I'm feeling lazy. :) read more

Seoul Bunsik - Korean Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's so tasty. Rose tteokbokki is so good. It's not too spicy which I really enjoyed. Cheeseballs are great although they taste more like dessert. Mandoo was also excellent with its crunchiness. It came with a little fish ball soup side and flavored tasty rice. The variety of textures from soft and chewy to crispy hit the spot for wanting a Korean flavored snack. read more

We ordered through Doordash because I was craving tteokbokki at midnight and I was looking for places that might sell Korean street food. Lo and behold I found Seoul Bunshik on the app but it was closed so I had to set a wake up reminder for the next morning. Everything was delicious!! My boyfriend kept making yummy noises each bite because it finally satisfied our mukbang cravings! We are so happy to have Korean street food in SF since it's not a common find and it brings me back to my study abroad days in Seoul. What we ordered: CREAMY "ROSE" TTEOKBOKKI (REGULAR) - They had regular, spicy, and fire levels for spice. There's also regular tteok and noodle tteok options. I chose regular + tteok. Originally I had picked spicy because I assumed regular was non spicy but then I went back and saw a review about spicy. Regular means regular spice and it was just the right kick so I'm glad I chose this. Rose tteokbokki is very trendy in Korea and I am glad to finally have a chance to try it! You can additional items such as egg, sausages, or cheese but we didn't add anything extra. Opt to get the skewer instead so we could throw in the sausage in there if we really wanted to. Tteokbokki is filling and is definitely meant for sharing. We had leftovers the next day and added our own ramen to it since there was extra sauce. GIMMARI (10 pieces) - The gimmari is small bite sized pieces, I thought they were going to be the size of the mandu but they're about half of that size. Inside is glass noodles and it's wrapped in seaweed and fried. These were excellent vehicles for dipping into the tteokbokki sauce but also great by itself. ODEN SOUP - Not a lot of fish cakes in mine but the oden soup is so refreshing to cleanse your palette from the spicy tteokbokki. FRIED MANDU (PORK) - Your typical fried mandu. Also good to dip in the tteokbokki. I would opt for more gimmari over this next time. SO-TTEOK - The fried sausage/rice cake skewer topped with a sweet & spicy sauce. While the tteokbokki already has rice cakes, I think the rice cake for the skewer has a slightly more chewier texture similar to eating mochi. Overall, I would order everything again but might sub the mandu with extra order of gimmari! Next time I would try the fried chicken if I see it on the app, for some reason it didn't show up for me that day. read more

It was a little difficult to find at first. You have to take the stairs down to find a little food hall. The menu is not too big-just soups spicy rice cakes etc. I got the tteokbokki. It was very flavorful and came with a lot of fish cakes and cabbage. Would recommend for something quick to eat. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! We got the rose and carbonara tteokbokki and both were flavor bombs! The rose tteokbokki had a nice creamy consistency and slight kick (highly recommend adding sausages and mozzarella). The carbonara tteokbokki was literally one of best things I've ever had ~ it's creamy, flavorful, umami, and the bacon adds a nice texture! We also tried the so-tteok which was delicious! Highly recommend and will be back!!! Also the service is awesome ~ I think the owner took our order but he was so nice!!! read more

Enjoyed this fast food Korean establishment. I'm not a big fan of ordering at kiosks but what can you do, shortage of staff affects everybody. The process of ordering and receiving food is efficient.

Tastes pretty good, if you cannot eat spicy, do not order spicy. I can eat spicy but this kind of spicy was even too much for me. I learned my lesson the hard way, but over all I like the taste. Will try again! read more

It was delicious. My Korean friends have been telling about Tteok-Bokki and I was do curious to try it. It was my first time try the Tteok-Bokki and the oden soup ever and I'm addicted to it now. I would totally eat and/order from here again. read more

FOOD TASTES ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! obv it is korean street food so dont expect anything fancy but expect everything to be TASTY!!

ordered tteokbokki and vegetable dumplings. no spice or flavor at all, had high hopes from reviews.

Definitely worth the money and wait. My suggestion is to always ask for cheese and an egg. Makes it tastier. Also, I suggest sharing the tteokbokki. I like that I can control what spice level and being able to choose which version of tteok I want. read more
