" Just had dinner here, and wow! Definitely did not disappoint. The seafood tofu stew was rich and packed with flavor! The portions were just right... not too much, not too little. The decor is cute, and the vibe is relaxed. Though the service started off slow, the friendly nature of the staff made the experience enjoyable. Can't wait to come back with friends soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely WONDERFUL! My family and I dined here for the first time last week, and we cannot stop raving about how delicious everything was. I had the seafood tofu soup, and it was packed with flavor and generous servings of seafood. Everyone in our group was pleased with their dishes. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring our drinks were always filled. The only downside was we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Buk Chon last weekend, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. The atmosphere was charming and it felt very cozy, yet the service was a bit slow, especially given how busy the place was. I ordered the spicy pork skillet and while it was flavorful, I found the cuts of meat to be a bit on the tougher side. My partner enjoyed the fried chicken though. Overall, decent experience, and I might give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Buk Chon! The ambiance is lovely, perfect for a dinner date. I ordered the spicy pork and fried rice, and it was delicious! The spice level was great—just enough to make it interesting but not too hot. The staff was friendly but seemed a bit overworked, which might have contributed to our drinks taking longer to arrive. Regardless, I left with a full stomach and a happy heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had Korean food in various places and Buk Chon certainly stands out! The friendly staff along with authentic flavors truly make a difference. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the spicy pork buns and the beef bulgogi which were both stellar. It’s a cozy little spot that's BYOB, making it perfect for a night out with friends. While I wish the portions were slightly larger, the quality makes up for it. Will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at Buk Chon! The atmosphere was perfect for dinner with friends, relaxed but with a nice buzz. The food? Sooo good! The bibimbap was delicious and plentiful, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. I went for the soft tofu stew, and it was the best I've had in a long time. Overall, a great night out, and I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" So glad I went to Buk Chon! The lively atmosphere is worth a mention. Each dish we sampled, especially the tteokbokki and bibimbap, was crafted with care. The staff was welcoming, and they came by to check on us often. The only downside was the tight seating arrangement, but the food definitely made up for it. I’m looking forward to my next visit!
