Buns N Rice is a cozy Korean restaurant located in the heart of Kensington. The food is fresh and tasty, with popular dishes like Bulgogi bao buns, spicy garlic chicken, and Kimchi Pancakes (KP) receiving high praise. The Tofu Bao Buns and shrimp burger are also favorites. Customers appreciate that the restaurant can accommodate special requests, even though the vegetarian options are limited. The service is quick, making it a convenient spot for a fast meal. Recently, visitors have enjoyed a bibimbap made fresh even close to closing time, praising its flavor and freshness, though some have found better options elsewhere. The bulgogi tacos are flavorful, served with cold guacamole and gochujang sauce, and some suggest that fresh avocado and cabbage with perilla leaf could improve the dish. The shrimp burger is tasty but small, with a bun-to-burger ratio that could be better. The beef dumplings are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and fresh, while the chicken with sweet onions is a favorite that many could eat daily. The portions are large, definitely enough for a meal or two the next day. Spicy Garlic Chicken is also a highlight, just spicy enough. Since the restaurant doesn't have a bathroom, it’s best suited for takeout or quick dining. Overall, Buns N Rice offers good food and a casual Korean dining experience in Kensington, with welcoming staff and a wonderful experience for those who visit.
