" I’m a fan of Korean BBQ and I have to say my experience at Pusan did not disappoint! The meats were marinated well and grilled to perfection at our table. Add in the variety of banchan served and it was a feast for the senses! The only downside was that we had to wait a little while to be served, which was understandable given how busy the restaurant was that night. I loved every bite and can’t wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a taste of home here, you'll find it at Pusan. The simplicity of the dishes, such as the jjigae and rice, truly represents the charm of Korean food. The only issue I faced was with the staff being distant. They weren't unfriendly, but didn’t check in often, which left me feeling a little ignored until I needed something. Not enough to stop me from coming back for another hearty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Pusan while looking for a cozy Korean spot and it didn’t disappoint. The food was exemplary with genuine flavors; my fav was definitely the katsu don! The hospitality was warm, which made the experience even better, but I did find the dining area could use some sprucing up to bring out that inviting vibe. I would come back to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Pusan was underwhelming sadly. The food had some nice flavors—particularly the dolsot bibimbap—but the service was extremely slow, and the atmosphere didn’t feel as welcoming. I was hoping for a more vibrant ambiance and a sense of Korean culture, but it felt a bit sterile. I truly believe in supporting local restaurants, but I think I might explore other Korean options nearby before returning to Pusan. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Pusan. The food was decent but not anything to rave about. I tried the bulgogi, and it was somewhat bland without the expected smokiness that comes from grilling. The side dishes were okay, but they didn't leave a lasting impression. The atmosphere felt too simple, lacking the vibrant feel I associate with Korean restaurants. Maybe I visited on an off day, but I’m uncertain whether I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Pusan recently, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Korean food. The stone pot bibimbap was incredible! The way the rice crusts formed at the bottom was just how my grandma used to make it. I loved the handcrafted dumpling soup, with its rich broth and tender dumplings. The service was decent but could improve as it felt a bit slow despite the quietness of the place. Regardless, I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Korean food, you’ve got to try Pusan. The semblance to true Korean tastes is impressive, making me think of the meals I had while living in Seoul. The kimchi stew had the ideal amount of spice and came with plenty of banchan, which were delightful. The atmosphere was casual and relaxed, perfect for families. However, I found the service a bit indifferent. A little more warmth from the staff would elevate the experience significantly. " (*Curated Review*)
