    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.

    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

    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

    Signature Kimbap

    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

    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!

    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.

    Army Stew
    Huong L.

    I recently heard of this place and decided to check it out. It is Korean street food with a fancier vibe. Like napkins are in rings, waitress greet you every 5-10 minutes, etc. We ordered Army stew ($20) -- the flavor was good and there was a mix of things in there but Definitely carb heavy. Tere was ramen rice cakes and a side of rice. Decent size California Kimbap ($12) --- it's literally a California roll with the nori on the outside instead of inside. It's big for the price and the ingredients were pretty fresh. The big critique for me was the wait time. It took almost 20 minutes for food to come out. Overall, it was good, I wouldn't mind trying their other times when I'm in the area

The beef broth is on the verge of being too salty but it's balanced by the sheer amount of black pepper that you can taste and not really see inside the clear broth. There's also a ton of beef and veggies inside, and got noodles for this dish. Noodles themselves were al dente and fresh. Friend and I also shared a side of fried dumplings, which came out very hot and didn't really need the sauce provided on our table, as everything already had enough taste. Staff brought out the food relatively fast - within about 10 minutes for all our dishes - and this is on top of the restaurant becoming a full house throughout the hour we stayed.

The place is roomy with very grey walls and very red signs, a bit empty when we went. Service was friendly. Ordering is done at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Overall, the food is just ok. Trusted foodie friends gave the same opinion. We won't be returning. The Food: Sweet & Sour Pork, $19.45 - 3 Stars Fried pork with sweet and sour sauce is one of the popular Korean Chinese food dishes. Theirs is ok. The pork piece inside is a skinny strip of meat, visible in photos. A bit chewy. Ok enough but not noteworthy. Soontofu Jjamppong, $19.45 - 2.5 Stars This is their spicy noodle soup (pork, squid, mussels, vegetables) with soft tofu added. The menu/online photo shows broth over the tofu, and I thought the tofu is cooked with the broth. I love soft tofu soup and decided to try it. Nope. My photo shows the tofu is added as a topping at the end, cold, with some peppers on top. What a disappointment. The rest of it was as expected. Beef Jjamppong, $17.45 - 2 Stars Beef and vegetables noodle soup in beef broth. Their online photo looks a lot more scrumptious with a pile of beef on top. My photo is a mixed pile of everything. The beef wasn't tender. The broth isn't particularly beef. Hubby was annoyed. The food in the restaurant vs the food photos online is like fast food hamburger photos. What we receive does not look like the photo even when dining in. I debated on giving them 2 Stars but decided to be nice and rounded up instead.

As visitors from the Bay Area where there are a bunch of Korean restaurants, I can confidently say the food here is far better than your average Bay Area Korean restaurant. Between the four of us, we ordered a 12 half-and-half piece wing set, a seafood pancake, a tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. Although food takes a long time to come out of the kitchen, the food is worth the wait! The seafood pancake was some of the best seafood pancake that I've had. The pancake had generous amounts of seafood in it and the crispiness could not be beat. Although the bibimbap comes in a large stone pot and is sizzling hot coming out of the kitchen, you unfortunately aren't able to extract any burnt rice from the bottom. Perhaps a little bit more oil is needed to achieve this? Despite this, it's still a really nicely constructed bibimbap bowl with a solid variety of vegetables. The chicken wings are crispy on the exterior and juicy on the interior. The wings are on the larger size, so once you get past the thin layer of crispy skin on the outside, I recommend dipping the wing back into the leftover sauce on the plate for more flavor. Last but not least, the tofu soup had a deep kimchi flavor, and was very mild in terms of spiciness. I thought the rice cakes included in the bowl were cooked perfectly and had a nice bounce to them. Overall, if you're looking for Korean food in this part of town, I don't think Danji Korean Cuisine can be beat.

I enjoyed the instant noodles as they had great flavor, but the katsu was a little hard and not crunchy. The Seafood Pajeon was excellent--it was crunchy and delicious. The Galbi Soup came with a lot of beef, but we found the galbi to be saltier than usual, and the beef might not have been as fresh. The seating was spacious. Parking was easy with street parking.

Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating.
