I have tried a few things here but my go to is the Dolsot Bibimbap, always great and satisfying. The side dishes are always to my liking, they vary from visit to visit, and that is ok with me. Prices have come up but are reasonable. I am often the only or one of the few customers who does not speak Korean there. It is not a fancy restaurant so prepare your expectations for a more relaxed, casual, almost street food style, dining experience.

Loved my experience at Pusan. I'm always looking for authentic food spots that serve food with fresh ingredients. I recommend the Bibimbap and the dumplings which was one of the best I've ever had. We bought the steamed dumplings which was packed with thinly sliced vegetables and meat.I also liked the fank soup which is on the spicier side. You could add steamed rice to it to make a hearty filling bowl.I was a little disappointed with the bulgogi. It wasn't grilled and lacked flavor and spices. I've had better bulgogi! The pork kimchi Bokum was also just an average dish and more on the sweeter side.Overall, a fun place to visit for some simple home cooked Korean food.

Old fashioned but their foods are homey & Tofu soup in Beef broth (?) is so good !Vegetarian options: Basically Korean kitchen has variety of Vegetable side dishes, named BanChan. 3-10 BanChans come basically with your orders. Here's a small & old restaurant but because their BanChans are good & fresh, I like here. Parking is so easy at the mall parking lot.Dietary restrictions: Except the basic BanChans, for each order they make right after we order, so I think they can modify the foods as we need !Parking: A huge parking lot !Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, we can use a wheelchair but we should pass 2 doors and they're not big. Someone should hold the each door for the wheelchair passing.

Yum!!! We had bi bim bop and funk soup. SO DELICIOUS!! The bi bim bop was fresh and just right. The funk soup was spicy and full of yummy beef and noodles. All the banchan were great, especially the tofu and the mushrooms. Will definitely be going back!

Fantastic food. Had bibimbap and soon dubu jiggae. Very much a homey, sit down restaurant. Those looking for food from their childhood might find it here. They’re capable of doing bbq, but it’s hard to find Korean restaurants that focus more on the traditional foods and this was a hit. Don’t mistake the lack of interaction from the owners to be them ignoring you. Culturally, it’s normal to not be constantly checked on by the waiter. They want you to enjoy your food after all!

We came with friends who had heard about this place. Shared a few meals and it was so good! The service was great. My hot tea was never low! It's a small place, and it seems like everything is fresh and cooked on the spot. All the food came out perfectly hot! Every meal we had was delicious. Overall, a nice local restaurant!

I continue to be pleasantly surprised every time I eat here! It's a very unassuming restaurant but the food is amazing! I almost feel like you're eating in someone's house that also happens to be a restaurant. Our server was very attentive and made sure we had water at all times. If you like to eat Korean food besides bbq, this is the place to go!
