This spot has been on my list for a long time and I finally checked it out last night with a friend of mine. The food was excellent, service was friendly and helpful, and the vibe was very chill and relaxed. ...
Great service with good food and drinks! The outdoor seating is great and its open late on weekends. Soju cocktails are fun and delicious. The Japchae is very sticky but good.
We had the most delicious meal here! The server was friendly and helpful, and accommodating with my dietary requirements. We had KFC and the seafood bibimbap, which were both delicious. Great spot!
Amazing food! Delicious flavors and spicy if you ask for it! Lots of great options in the menu, probobly the best Korean cuisine Ive had! Cant wait to head back
The waiters were polite, despite their heavy workload. Although they lost our check with the order and we waited for our food for a whole hour, the waiters apologized and gave us a discount. The food was tasty, not very spicy. The prices were reasonable. I definitely recommend this place.
I had a great experience at BUL. The food, the service, everything was amazing. I enjoyed how we drank makgeoli in a Korean traditional way. The army stew and the seafood pancake were flavorful, exactly as I wanted. And the hotteok is a MUSTtry dessert. It was so delicious!!
This place is a gem. The food is SO good and really brought us back to our time in Korea. The service was also amazing and we really enjoyed talking with the staff. We couldnt be happier and hope to return next time were in DC. The bibibimbop was on point but definitely also try the japchea.
Amazingly delicious Korean food. Worth the price. Fried chicken is a must try but I love jigae, I got kimchi jigae.
