I have been dying to come here and let me tell you the entire place does not disappoint!! The food was sooooooo tasty and look so good at the same time. The portion size is super generous. The inside of the this place is absolutely adorable. And the workers are super gentle. I had such a good time here. This is going to be on my " must come back " list

I think I found my new favorite place in Bellevue. Food was flavorful and delicious but most of all, I was surprised with the fast and friendly service when it was so busy.

The service was great and fast, 10/10, the server was welcoming and made sure we were well served. The foods was so-so to be honest. The army stew was quite disappointing, low quality ingridents. For the salmon kim bap, they used king salmon, so it has the salty flavor, i just don't like it personally.

For rolls, got California roll and vegetable roll. The vegetable roll is VERY salty and not flavorful (besides being salty). California roll was average. Overall very disappointing.Then also ordered tofu soup. The soup is much worse than Cho Dang’s.This place costs the same, if not more than, as legit Korean restaurants but flavors are fast food levels at best.

Service is really fast, and the decor is really cute. I think the food is decent, but focuses a little too much on presentation. The kimbap is huge, so I do think the price for the amount of food is reasonable. However I think the tuna overpowered the other veggies in the kimbap, so all I could taste was the tuna. The rose tteokbokki was actually decently spicy and I liked the flavors and variety of ingredients.

So happy we tried this restaurant. Every dish was delicious! The service was attentive. The portions were generous. You can taste right away the ingredients are fresh and the presentation is beautiful. We can't wait to go back.

I quite liked this restaurant! My friend asked me to go out to eat here and I was initially really nervous because I’m vegetarian so I was sure I was gonna have the most limited meal selection of my life but I was pleasantly surprised. My server was super sweet she told me that I could make many of the meat options vegetarian (I was not expecting them to say yes haha).So I got the ttetboki without the sausage, bacon, or fish cakes. (And they were nice enough to substitute the bulgogi gyoza for the vegetable gyoza). When I tell you this floored me I was so excited, and the food was really good! The sauce was subtle (I thought it’d be a bit spicier but the subtlety worked), the fried seaweed was phenomenal, and the vegetable gyoza was good too! My only negative on it was I didn’t like the onions in it but that could just be me. The rice cakes were also really satisfying to eat.The wait was a bit long but my server was so nice like she was extremely sweet and I felt that the whole service experience was super positive. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but that was okay with me lolDietary restrictions: They’re very accommodating to dietary restrictions (and requests to make something vegetarian) when I really thought they wouldn’t be.

The customer service here was phenomenal. The food was also decently yummy. We got the salmon and the tuna mayo kimbab. Both were really good. I think I preferred the tuna mayo. The salmon was still really good as leftovers though! Yummm~

Definitely would recommend. Light, clean, and airy atmosphere. Loved that their kimbap rolls had more "stuffing" than rice. I normally don't like army soup but liked theirs because it wasn't super spicy and had lots of meat. Their spicy California roll also was not too spicy, which was perfect for me.

The Rose Tteokbokki had a very sweet and spicy and flavorful sauce. Oden Nabe had a wonderful soup that was not too strong. Signature Kimbap came in huge pieces and was really good. The service was so nice and the food was definitely worth it.
Recently came to Bunsik with a group of friends, and had an overall great experience! Coming in about 45 minutes before closing, we felt bad because some of our friends had a hard time finding the spot, and didn't wanna be those people that kept the restaurant open past their hours, but staff were very kind and understanding! I would honestly say that their service was definitely one of the highlights of the meal - they were attentive, friendly, and joked around with us a bunch too. The restaurant itself was bright and clean, you could see the place from far away due to how much it stands out compared to the other businesses in crossroads. In terms of the food, I thought everything was great! My friend and I split the classic Kimbalp and Rose Tteokbokki. The kimbap tasted great, but didn't stand out for me in terms of any other kimbap I've gotten elsewhere, but I personally preferred the tteokbokki more. I love the beef mandu and gimmari that came with the tteokbokki, and the dish itself made for a great dipping sauce for the kimbap. I would say my only complain would definitely be the price - I think the food is good, yes, but I don't think people should ever be paying $12+ for kimbap (or even $20 for the signature), regardless of how big the portions are. The dishes are definitely much pricier than other Korean restaurants I've been to, with the food being of the same quality.

Quality food with amazing service! The people are hard-working, energetic, and generous. We were given free food that was misordered and ended up with a meal of way more than a 2-people portion. Rosé tteokbokki was nicely balanced in ingredients without the sauce being too over the top, and both the signature and classic gimbaps were flavorful and filling (perhaps too big). Would definitely come back in the future.

their Kimbap was really good, better than anyone i tried in seattle area, i will definitely get it again. i am excited to see them make more items and get to taste them in the future i would recommend them
Chris Wang
Compared to the caliber of Korean food the greater seattle area has to offer this place is a real shame.Kimbaps are good but even Trader Joe’s has themYour raw fish kimbaps are meh. The fish is not fresh can taste the frozen on it and in fact the meat was separating which also adds to poor qualityEntrees underwhelmingIf the owner can see this please try mamas kitchen in factoria that’s your competition they are in a whole other leagueStaff nice though
