" I love coming here! It’s my go-to for Korean food in the area! The dumplings are a definite must-try. Service is friendly and atmosphere cozy, perfect for a quick meal. I usually do takeout, but the few seats available are nice as well. Can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" An adorable little spot with fantastic food! I tried the spicy garlic chicken and my friend opted for the bibimbap. Both dishes were bursting with flavor, and the service was prompt and friendly. It’s a bit small inside, but it’s the perfect cozy spot for lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not bad but not great. The food was satisfactory, I had the bibimbap but I found it a little bland compared to others I’ve had. Service was pretty good but the area felt cramped and the decor could use a bit of a refresh. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not what I expected from the reviews. The bulgogi bibimbap was okay, but I was expecting a lot more depth in flavor. Staff was courteous, but that doesn’t make up for the lack of complexity in the dish. I might try again in the future, but I’m not rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed by my recent visit to Buns N Rice. While the atmosphere was friendly, my bulgogi bowl was surprisingly bland and lacked that savory kick I was hoping for. The service was attentive, but that alone couldn’t save the meal for me. I might consider giving it another shot in the future, but for now, I’m a bit disappointed. I expect more from a Korean spot! " (*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*)
