Bukchon

The restaurant is clean and spacious between tables. Food is decent. We ordered the chicken gizzard karaage, abalone steak and beef bibimbap. Unlike other Korean restaurants that allow the customer to add the hot sauce to adjust the spicy level they want, they put the hot sauce with the bibimbap without checking with us at the time of order on the desired spice level. It’s way too hot for my liking and the three star reflects the lack of communication.

We wanted to try something new. First time having Korean food. It was a very nice experience. The atmosphere was intimate and cosy. Food was good. No complaints.Food: 5/5

Five star service! The dishes were a hit or a miss, although happy enough for this Korean fusion in North Van : The crispy tofu salad turned out to be the star of the show. the seafood pancake was good though not amazing. We prefer the one at Bori on 20th st. the cold noodles were good BUT the beef tartare that came with it was frozen we had to thaw it up in the sizzling pan lol would not recommend the 45$ spicy squid thing. Lot of unchewable pieces and the whole thing was too spicy to be eaten alone. Wish they suggested rice when we ordered. Would come back because it’s in the neighborhood to try other dishes!

I've had dinner at Bukchon on two occasions, and each time I've been impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the exceptional taste of their dishes, especially when compared to other Korean restaurants on the North Shore. When you order a meal, you also receive a variety of banchan side dishes, which adds to the overall dining experience. Friday nights seem to be quite busy, which is a testament to its popularity. For those who are not accustomed to spicy food, I would highly recommend trying the Beef Bibimbap. It offers a delightful combination of flavors without being overly spicy. Additionally, if you are new to Korean cuisine, I suggest visiting their website beforehand to get an idea of what the dishes look like. Unfortunately, the menus at the restaurant do not have pictures, but the website can provide a helpful visual reference. Overall, Bukchon is a fantastic choice for a Korean dining experience, with its fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes, and fair prices. Finding parking close to the restaurant is a little tough on a Friday night, but still one of the better Korean restaurants on the North Shore.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Loved their Bibimbap and Crispy Samgyeopsal along with the local Makgeolli. Definitely coming back again to try more of their menu. Food: 5/5

We enjoyed the Korean fare. The servers were very helpful and friendly. The servings were BIG! A good evening out.Food: 5/5

Came here because we were craving Korean, and it did not disappoint. The ladies who work here are super sweet and accommodating, even when it’s very busy during the dinner rush.Food: 5/5

Spicy Pork Don is the best, but Beef sashimi was disappointing. I would try other menus too. I hope this place has a draught beer too.Recommended dishesSpicy Pork Ishiyaki

Decent place and food, one of the drawback is menu without photos, hard for people who’s not familiar with Korean food to orderFood: 4/5

Our family visited here for the first time and blown away by the service and food quality!! I'd say this place easily wins the best Korean restaurant award!! Our guest from Korea were impressed and said foods were better in Korea. We've had Yook GaeJang, Yeon-Po Tang, Nakji bbokeum, and Gajaemi. Every single dish was great and they make you the fried rice after the Nakji bbokeum. It was wonderful and the server was absolutely kind and best serving we've seen in awhile, no doubt! We went around 2 Pm and it was super breeze. Not busy so we really enjoyed overall experience!!
