What Kathryn Wheeler likes about Buk Chon Korean Cuisine:
Flawless dinner experience. The spicy pork bibimbap, ribeye bulgogi, and banchan were all absolutely delicious! Our food came out shockingly fast and the service was great. Lovely decor and atmosphere as well — the mellow, dimly lit (but not dark) and creatively decorated space make it a great choice for date night. Although we didn't take advantage this time around, the BYO option is always nice. I'll definitely be... View all feedback. What Mary doesn't like about Buk Chon Korean Cuisine:
Had great experience at the first time, so I decided to go back again for other dishes. Ordered the seafood tofu soup and it was kind of salty, the beef bulgogi was dry and overcooked. Kind of disappointed: View all feedback.

Discovering a new favorite spot turned into a rollercoaster of mixed experiences; from salty tofu soup to amazing pork 'hamburgers'. While service issues like being asked to leave abruptly and disorganized staff dampened spirits, the authentic dishes and great atmosphere kept things interesting. From delicious food and friendly staff to karaoke nights and affordable prices, Xi'an offers a varied experience. Overall, the diverse menu appeals to all taste buds and the BYOB policy adds to the allure of this hidden gem. Whether you're in for a casual meal or a night of fun, Xi'an is worth a visit.
