This restaurant is undeniably my top choice for Korean-Chinese fusion cuisine. While there are other good options out there, Bbong is my favorite by a long shot. The flavor and portion sizes are exceptional, making it a fantastic value and utterly delicious. I highly recommend it! Just be aware that some dishes can be quite spicy!

We arrived around 6:30 PM on a Monday, and the restaurant wasn't very busy, making it easy for us to find a seat. The server promptly brought us the menu and drinks. The menu was impressive, featuring pictures with each dish to make ordering easier. After a bit of discussion, we decided to share a family combo for about $30, which included jajangmyeon, jjampong, and tansuyuk/kanpoongi. My friend assured me it was a great deal for two people, and she was right – we ended up with a generous amount of food. After a wait of about 10 to 15 minutes, our meals arrived, and we were thrilled to see the large portions. Everything looked delicious, and the taste did not disappoint. I particularly enjoyed the spicy seafood noodle soup, which was flavorful without being overly spicy. However, my favorite dish was definitely the chicken. It was an abundance of chicken pieces, and the flavor reminded me of a sweet pork dish from my hometown – incredibly tasty! Since there were only two of us, we ended up with quite a bit of leftovers, which we took home. Overall, dining at BBong Korean Restaurant was a fantastic experience. I would love to return and highly recommend it to all my friends for its delicious food at affordable prices.

I definitely overestimated how much I could eat, as we ended up ordering way too much food for just the two of us (especially since I don’t eat a lot, so it was really too much for about 1.25 people!).

Service was good although the fried rice took a while to arrive. Appetizers were usual standard kimchi, potato, bean curd strips. waitress asked if we wanted more, so I got topped up on potato. Plenty for 2 for lunch and had lots to take home for dinner.
