Pork and kimchi dish was the star for me. The staff was friendly and very helpful to get our orders in. We were the first group there for dinner. If you have people with big appetites, maybe order the fried rice because rice and banchan is not included. My brother had asked me before driving there. I looked up Butnal on Google maps and thought, surely banchan comes with every order! They did not offer it. So that was disappointing.
I would not recommend the fried chicken dishes for a group because it was advised that the serving size is for 2 people but I felt like it was only good for 1. The first bite my brother had was mostly batter, he forgot that it was a chicken dish. I wish we ordered the Spicy squid or Pancakes instead 😅
It was a farewell family dinner so I wanted it to be a hit! But maybe this is more casual option- like if you were getting something with friends before a concert. I guess street food means it is on the lighter side.

No matter how many times I visit Ktown, it still manages to surprise me. Butnal, packed with Korean diners, feels authentic from the moment you walk in — the vibe, the decor, everything!
We came for their boneless spicy chicken feet, and wow… they totally blew us away. Tender, flavorful, perfectly spicy — just addictive. Their assorted savory pancake is also something special, topped with Korean-style tempura I haven’t seen anywhere else.
And of course, no trip to a true Korean spot is complete without budae jjigae. No matter how many times I’ve had it, I never get tired of it. Pair it all with some soju, and with the cozy wooden booths, it honestly feels like stepping into a K-drama.
To top it off — they give you ice cream when you pay the bill. Delicious, aesthetic, and absolutely coming back!

Delicious experience at this cozy little restaurant in K-Town. The short ribs, tteok-bokki and ramen, kimchi pancake, all top notch washed down with cold soju!!

One of the few restaurants that stays open late!
The food is delicious and offers a variety of options. I ordered the 닭도리탕(chickenstew?) combo with 알밥 and soju. The price was $5x, which I think is a great value. They also served free popcorn and free ice cream !!!
The staff provides good service and super friendly!!! ✌🏻 The atmosphere is great, and they play K-pop music! It feels just like being in a bar in Korea.
There is parking available behind the restaurant, but it's very tight. - street parking is recommended
My new regular spot ! Highly Recommended 🫶🏼

I recommend bossam here. It has a buttery flavor and softness. It's really delicious ? It's the best combination with makgeolli The atmosphere is good, the food is delicious, the servers are very friendly, and the owner is also very nice. This is my favorite bar??
Truly Authentic Korean Flavors! We had an amazing time here, and the service was outstanding! Jin was very sweet and helpful!

Hole in the wall Korean joint, great for locals, family, and friends.
Food is great, service is friendly. Typically get the sliced pork dish (bossam, pronounced boh-sahm), or anything fried. Of course the soju and beer lineup is great. Also, very clean and welcoming decor with wooden interior. They have combos to try, but never hesitate to ask the servers their recommendations as they all speak English. Can't wait to try their budaejigae (soldier's soup).
Vegetarian options: The Korean pancakes and some soups can be requested vegetarian.
