" My recent visit was just okay. The spice levels in my bibimbap were lacking, and while the service staff were pleasant enough, I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed overall. I may give it another shot but not at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time here and wow, I’m blown away! The flavor profiles are spot-on, especially the bulgogi beef! I will say the prices are a little high for the portion size, but I can forgive it because the taste is exceptional. Just remember, it's mostly for takeout! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Buns N Rice several times & it's always a treat! The garlic chicken is a must-try for anyone who loves a bit of heat! Each meal I've had was piping hot and neatly presented. I find the pricing reasonable for the quality provided. A perfect spot for lunch or a quick dinner. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've finally tried Buns N Rice after hearing all the buzz, and it totally lived up to my expectations! I ordered the bibimbap and it was just perfectly seasoned, with a delightful amount of fresh veggies. The service was swift, which made my lunch break a breeze. Although the seating was a bit tight, the overall vibe was cozy—definitely a hidden treasure in Kensington. Will be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Buns N Rice is definitely a solid option for Korean street food. While the space is small, the flavors are huge! My tofu bao bun was divine, and paired well with their homemade kimchi. Service was good, and all the staff were really friendly. I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having been to many Korean restaurants, I can honestly say Buns N Rice is a strong contender! The dishes are prepared quickly and with care. I especially liked their kimchi pancakes, which were perfectly crispy and flavorful. The vibe is unpretentious and cozy, making it a great choice for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is absolutely fantastic. I ordered the spicy garlic chicken, and it was mouthwateringly good! The service was friendly, making my dining experience all the better. I will definitely return—there’s so much more to try on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
