    After being wow-ed by their service and quality when I ordered 150 kimbaps for an Amazon event that I hosted, I had to visit in person. No wait on Sunday afternoon. We sat and ordered right away: Signature Kimbap and Tteokbokkii. Signature kimbap: had pretty big chunk of tuna and salmon sprinkled with masago. The pieces were huge! Tteokbokkii: comes with 2 shrimp tampura, 2 sausages, 2 mandoos, and 2 kim ma ri (fried seaweed filled with glass noodles). The assortment of fried food was very delicious. The Tteokbokkii sauce itself was a bit mild. The rice cake was a bit disappointing as well since it was thin and not as chewy. Interior was clean and modern. Service was pretty fast. I would visit again when I'm in the area!

    Clean and well-lit restaurant. It has the open-space interior design, which feels not so claustrophobic. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Always checked up on us if we needed water and what not. The poke bowl with edible flower tasted good. I best recommend you to have green tea with the meal and not drink cold water. My friend ordered veggie Kimbap, and she liked it, too. The restaurant is located at the outdoor mall, so after you eat, you can walk around to other businesses.

    We came here because of the famous kimbab, and we got the signature one. It was pretty good, more like a sushi roll than a kimbab though. The Rose tteokbokki was really good, with a delicious sauce and cheese. However, the army stew was just so-so, tasting like something we could make at home with Korean instant noodles. The service was a bit of a letdown though. We made a reservation but were told it wasn't working when we arrived. Fortunately, the restaurant wasn't busy, but there was only one server for the whole place on a Saturday lunch. She did a great job, but they really should hire more staff. The food was also really slow to come out, taking 30 minutes for everything, even though there were only four tables occupied.

    Super nice location with modern decor and clean space. It's located near Crossroads and has big parking lot access. Food itself was average. We got the rose tteokboki which was cheesy but didn't have too much flavor. The army stew is small portion and just enough for one person. The signature kimbap was pretty but also lacked flavor. Each dish was about $20 which is about average in Bellevue. Overall I wasn't wow'ed but it was decent

    Cute bright little Korean restaurant in Bellevue next to Crossroad. The restaurant itself is very bright and modern inside with friendly staffs ready We ordered: the signature kimbap - which was honestly my favorite but definitely pricey army stew - I didnt think this was Spicy and was pretty mild but my friends were saying it was spicy (my spice tolerance is pretty high) oden nabe - I really enjoyed the fish cake it was the perfect consistency for me Overall it's a decent spot but for some soup and kimbap it was definitely pricey for okay soup

    So yummy and pretty kimbap!! When we arrived on a Wednesday for an early dinner we were surprised that no one was inside. Our waitress was super sweet the whole time and the inside is so beautiful and nicely decorated! Between the three of us we got the classic, signature, and california kimbap as well as the rose tteokkbokki. All of them were absolutely delicious! The classic kimbap was our favorite of three, with the perfect balance of every ingredient wrapped in a thin layer of rice. The signature was really unique, but felt more like sushi with the raw fish. The special seaweed they use to wrap was also very unique. The California was basically like a large stuffed California roll -- exactly as youd expect but really good still. The tteokkbokki was great too, though super creamy and a little heavy. It had a good flavor and the fried seaweed roll and mandu were delicious too. Our waitress also gave us 2 drinks to try which was an orange tangerine and yuzu soda. They were both so refreshing and delicious! Overall this spot has some delicious comforting food and I'd highly recommend trying it!

    A modern, clean, relaxed, inexpensive, casual Korean restaurant in the area. I got the seaweed salad, signature Kimbap, signature roll, and the rose tteokbokki. The Kimbap was really nice and filling. The seaweed salad was a good deal and perfect starter/apprtizer The rose tteokbokki was very flavorful and delicious, it was above and beyond my expectations. I am not surprised this was the top ordered dishes from the menu. My server was very charming and attentive. Plenty of parking outside of this restaurant I'm very happy this restaurant is located on the Eastside area. I highly recommend coming here with your friends and family, even casual work lunch is recommended. Note: they currently do not serve any alcoholic beverages, would be nice if they do though I wish I could give this place a 10 stars if possible

    First thing that caught my eye was the modern and bright atmosphere of the restaurant. Opened by young Koreans who want to make elevated Korean street food to the Seattle community, I love how they make the kimbap into such pretty and tasty versions. They already taste so good without any sauce and the portions are huge! I love the Nabe Udon which is super comforting and comes with lots of vegetables, mushrooms and fish cakes. The broth is the best part where it has so much umami. The owners and servers were so nice and even we only ordered two miso soups but they gave us one more as we have three people. Great to see the Korean food scene is getting better and with the innovation from the newer generation!

    Bunsik is a fairly new upscale street food Korean restaurant! Lots of space, sparkly clean and lots of parking nearby. Service is fast and the interior is so so cute. I got their signature kimbap, which is a sizable portion for the price. Also got their rose tteokbokki which was delicious!! I'd highly recommend trying. It was definitely my favourite out of the two options I got, as the rice cakes were soft and cooked to perfection.

    I have heard a lot about this new place in Bellevue. It's in Crossroads Mall and next to Nan hot pot. We were in the neighborhood and decided to swing by. Parking was complimentary nearby. The ambiance was photogenic and brightly lit. The server was friendly and efficient. We ordered signature kimbap and Rose Tteokbokki and server said they were two best sellers. We started complimentary miso soup and they were delicious. For kimbap, it's very creative because it can be sushi or kimbap. There's no vinegar or sesame oil touch on the rice. It served pickled cabbage and ginger and a side of soy sauce. Thankfully the ingredients were fresh. For Rose Tteokbokki, rice cakes tasted good but the sauce didn't mix well and was watery. Overall, I was glad to try and crossed it out on my list.

    Overall, I was very impressed with Bunsik! This shop gives a mom and pop feel with a modern twist. While the space is intimate with limited seating we were seated fairly quickly during a weekend brunch rush hour. The staff was very attentive and checked in on us regularly even as things got busier. Despite it getting busy our food came out pretty quickly after ordering getting our first dish within 10-15 minutes. We got the California, Classic, and Signature Kimbaps. These are made fresh and in house, you can see the chef bringing these creations to life in the counter seating area. The portions are big for the price and we got pretty full after eating ~2. The Signature comes with raw tuna and salmon and the fish was very fresh and melts in your mouth! Not pictured is the Rose Tteokbokki, this was my absolute favorite! These were some the softest and delicate rice cakes I've ever had with the perfect amount of chew, I definitely recommend you try these! The flavor was to my liking and while there is 1 star spice it was not that spicy. If you like something a bit spicier I definitely recommend getting the other regular one!

    There seems to be a decent amount of Korean restaurants popping up in the Bellevue area and I'm interested in trying them out. Bunsik popped up as a hot and upcoming place in near the Crossroads mall and we decided to swing by on a Wednesday around 7pm to check this place out! Bunsik is located near the Crossroads mall movie theater, so there was adequate parking in the area. Service is good, the waiter and waitresses are nice, friendly, and attentive - there weren't too many other customers in the restaurant at the time so they were extra attentive, which we are grateful for. The ambiance is casual sit down, with the sort of hip grassy walls with neon light up signs decor (which many new trendy restaurants opening up in the Bellevue area seem to go for). I got two interesting items on the menu, which I'll review down below: Rose Tteokbokki ($20): I personally found this entree, underwhelming. The sauce flavor is basically a vodka-esque pasta sauce profile with rice cakes spread throughout. The flavor tastes good for sure, but it does get dull quickly after eating it for a bit. Definitely something that would be greatly enjoyed after a night out drinking. The fried components were disappointing - the shrimp tempura and mandu are both definitely something I have seen in the Costco frozen aisle. Not to downplay the price of opening a restaurant in the Bellevue area, but charging $20 on $5 worth of ingredients personally doesn't sit well with me. Signature Kimbap ($20): One of the more interesting options on the menu, if I had to recommend something from Bunsik, it would be this. I haven't had the premium seaweed sheet before, I'm not sure on how to fully describe it, but it sort of gives a grass/algae texture flavor profile in the best way. The filling is nice and packed and each bite is full. For $40 before tax and tip, I personally thought the food was mediocre. The signature kimbap was novel and had good flavor, but I don't think it was worth $20. Though the servers were nice and the ambiance was decent, I'm not sure if I would recommend Bunsik as place for good food.

    California roll

    Huge kimbap roles that are inspired by sushi flavors classic to America like the California roll and tuna roll. The salmon here is better tasting than the tuna, which was less fresh. They have sauces on the side and the sushi kimbap is served on platters reminiscent of sushi restaurants (but hard to eat kimbap off of). There are plenty of seats and ambiance is very quiet when you go off hours.

    Food was just alright and overpriced. On top of that, they had an audacity to charge credit card processing fee for each entrée.

    All You Can Eat AYCE Korean BBQ. I've been looking for a new…read moremainstay since Palace has dropped significantly in my opinion. And this spot hits the spot. I was worried about the price because of its location in downtown Bellevue, but at ~50 a person and for the quality and quantity I received it is far worth. I never had to wait very long to get sat, and the entrance is a little hard to find. It's located upstairs a separate retail area. The ambiance is only decent, but it's not crazy loud. The service is prompt, but most of the ordering is done on the iPad anyway. You can order whatever you want, including rice, lettuce, etc. You also get one wagyu per person. The pork jowls and marinated kalbi are my favorite. If you like squid I highly recommend getting that too. The banchan side dishes are copious and refillable. Our biggest qualm is that grill could be hotter. Perhaps it is a means of controlling your pacing, but we want the meat NOW! Haha They do charge extra if you don't finish your food, but that's never happened to us.

For $40+, the meat quality wasn't bad, but the slices were super thin (looked like meat for hotpot) and cooked way too fast. I'd leave the meat on the grill for maybe 15 seconds and it would already start getting charred. That part could honestly be user error on my end, so I'd still be willing to give this place another try. I will say their banchan was really good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. Overall, I just left feeling a little disappointed, especially for the price. If you do decide to come here for AYCE, I'd probably recommend going for one of the higher tiers to get a better experience.

For a group of four adults with a normal hungry, we ordered a small beef set and fried chicken, which was plenty. The banchan was fantastic, especially the Myungranjut. The meat quality was outstanding for a K-BBQ place, and the service was superb. Our server proactively replaced the grill grate to make sure no burnt bits remained! The vibe is casual enough but can be also formal enough for a date. Needless to say, I left a very generous tip.

Steamed eggs came out looking amazing (haven't seen it like this before) but was on the dry side; to each their own but we like it more brothy like Chicken wings were ok not great... the dish I didn't expect much from was the fried rice but it turned out to be the best dish!! Not because it's just "better than the other dishes" but it was truly amazing, it just had a great taste to it! Soup was yummy too and came with clear noodles Proportions are to the smaller size making prices a bit high but banchans were refilled quickly. Recommend because their food had its own special taste/ dishes that you will remeber it by. Was a fun place to eat and staff was friendly!

Although we didn't order any dishes that made use of the advanced tabletop, I still think it's so cool! Despite the tables also having a digital kiosk, I appreciated how they still handed us actual menus and manually took our order, both of which are becoming less common these days. Our group started with some hot tea and ordered three dishes which was the perfect amount to share. We loved each item and I enjoyed tasting the various banchan side dishes (included with most main menu items): broccoli, traditional kimchi, omelet, potato, salad and kimchi cucumbers. I can be picky about kimchi, but this one had an ideal balance between tartness, spice, slight sweetness and umami. Their kimchi cucumbers were also a hit as they were refreshing with a tantalizing heat. + SEAFOOD PANCAKE ($25): My first time having a seafood pancake and it won't be my last! It was hot right off the pan with a crispy golden exterior. The seafood included baby shrimp, baby octopus and calamari. It seemed like the portion of seafood was reasonable since I had some in almost every bite, however I don't recall seeing much shrimp... mostly calamari and octopus. They added a lot of green onion, which I personally liked as it gave the pancake an element of freshness. This came with a side of soy dipping sauce, but I enjoyed it as is. The portion size was generous for the three of us. + KIMCHI BEEF TOFU SOUP ($22): This soup was basically a comforting hug in a stone pot. It arrived at our table, still bubbling, with a small bowl of rice. While there wasn't a ton of beef in the soup, the pieces were lean and tender and there was enough to split between the three of us. I loved the smooth silky tofu, and the kimchi gave the soup a little tang. Adding a scoop of rice into my personal bowl and pouring the soup on top made for perfect bites as the grains absorbed the broth. We requested a medium spice level which was just right for me. + HOT POT BI-BIM-BAP w/ CHICKEN ($25): You can't go wrong with this dish! Carrots, radish, zucchini, bean sprouts, spinach and a raw egg topped the bed of rice along with our protein choice of chicken. We stirred in the egg immediately and I enjoyed all the fresh vegetables in the bowl. The chicken was delicious as well and seemed to have a slightly sweet marinade. The best part is the little bites of rice that crisped up against the side of the bowl, adding some toasty notes and texture. We forgot to drizzle on some of the red chili sauce provided with the dish, so I'll need to do that next time! The three of us had a terrific dinner here and the service is so kind. We were checked on three times, which surpassed my expectations. We came for an early dinner on Sunday, so it was relatively quiet, even shortly after 6:00P. Even if the restaurant was full, the tables are spaced comfortably apart and I noticed they even had a separate section that is walled off for a larger group. Parking is also easy, running right alongside the neighboring walking trail. Needless to say, I'll be back!
