Food Quality
Pros:
"Best (and biggest) tteokbokki I have had in London so far!"
"The buldak mayo was pretty nice too - just the right amount to spice to add that edge to the corn dog."
"The potato complimented the mozzarella well, and wasn’t too deeply fried so the balance was perfect."
"The food is amazing for a fair price, I got the set of 2 for £10."
"Best corndog in all of London...A must visit place if you are visiting China Town."
"The food was piping hot, fresh and very tasty."
"The sausage inside was good, but we felt that the covering was tasteless."
"Tried corndogs for the first time in my life and really loved them! They are super filling and delicious."
Cons:
"The corn dogs were drowned in sauce so it kind of overshadowed the actual taste of the corndog."
"We didn't find anything particularly impressive about it."
"Overhyped all the way to the outer galaxy... cheese was not filling, sausage was tasteless."
"Waited for about 20 minutes to order, which I anticipated. I ordered the potato dog and the original corn dog. Both were not as savoury as I excepted."
"The beef corn dog wasnt the best but i would love to try something different next time."
"The ddukbokki, for me, was extremely hard to like. As an experience, it was worth trying but I won't be in a hurry to go back."
"The corn dogs tasted alright, but the batter was almost thicker than the sausage itself."
"The prices seemed expensive but the portion size justified it. The place is nice and has various options to choose from including vegetarian and halal meat options."
Service and Efficiency
Pros:
"As expected, there was a bit of a queue but it moved quickly and the food arrives in no time."
"Even crowded it didn’t take more than 5 minutes to prepare. Staff were friendly and helpful."
"Once we got to the till, our order was taken quickly and politely."
"The queue is ALWAYS long, and super crowded inside, imagine that on top of the boiling fryer next to you."
"Very good and fresh korean corndogs!! Staff was very polite, order came fast and was piping hot."
"One of my go to spots when I’m hungry and on the move. Viral food spots usually disappoint but Bunsik always delivers hot corn dogs."
"Staff were very friendly and happily swapped out my order for something else when I realised I'd ordered for the wrong thing."
"There’s always a queue to get in, it’s definitely worth the wait."
Cons:
"I suggest addressing the queueing and wait times because it really takes away from the overall experience and atmosphere."
"The queue is usually quite long and you have to wait for a while to get your corndogs so would not recommend if you are in a rush."
"The queue is ALWAYS long, and super crowded inside, imagine that on top of the boiling fryer next to you."
"Waited for about 20 minutes to order, which I anticipated."
"Waited 49 mins for our food."
"Waited in a queue for nearly 10 minutes only to find out it wasn't a queue, and it was people who were sent outside to wait for their orders."
"Waited for so long for disappointing corn dogs!"
"The que for this place can be crazy but we didn’t have to wait long to be served or receive our order."
Atmosphere and Location
Pros:
"They’ve tried their best to make the most out of the small space they’ve got to work with."
"This place is close to the Leicester Square tube station. It’s a busy place but service is quick."
"Bunsik in Soho is a no-frills spot serving really good corn dogs."
"The place is close to serving time and still very packed and popular."
"It’s a simple, walk-in place that lets the food speak for itself."
"Nice place, really nice staff. Very helpful when you do not know what exactly to order."
"All of the food was delicious! Would 100% recommend to eat here if you like Korean food/snacks."
"This is a famous joint viral on social media for their corn dogs."
Cons:
"The space is incredibly small - there's only seating for maybe 4 people and not much space at all to stand inside."
"There is not much place to sit and it gets very crowded."
"There isn’t much place to sit and it’s a bit too intimate and there wasn't enough seating."
"The space is incredibly small - there's only seating for maybe 4 people and not much space at all to stand inside."
"There’s some novelty factor going on in the hype around Bunsik, but honestly their food speaks for itself. No frills, delicious hotdogs oozing with cheese and crisped to perfection."
"The store itself is a little small, meaning it can be cramped during peak times, but the food is well-worth it."
"The corn dogs were good, I’ll try the others at some point But I’m not in a rush."
