"Highly recommended! Best soup I've had in a while. Their Gomtang was so good that I forgot to take a picture of it: had a clean taste. Everthing we ordered were good. We'll definitely come there to eat again when we're back in Halifax."

"Food is interestingly good. Was expecting a bit more to the flavour. It’s my first time here, and the vibe immediately feels comfortable. The noodle bowl could use some seasoning partially because the noodles stuck together at the bottom?"

"I lived in Korea 2 years ago and have loved k food ever since. My fiancé and I went hurt and I was disappointed it wasn’t fully authentic although you can’t expect that. Made a reservation for 7:30 for our table 15 minutes early which was nice! The meat was a big portion for the two of us. Wish they had aprons because the grill can have oil come back at you. Fried our kimchi on and it was delicious. Free refills on lettuce and sides which was great. At the end we felt forgotten when all our dishes were empty and moved to the side and multiple workers walked past us. Would be fun in a group and the food was good, could use more seasoning though."

"Good food! But the waiter will be proactive to serve you water. Didn't tell you can refill and even didn't ask you if you need to refill some kimchi. But the parking lot entry is not easy to find the way to park."

"Busan Korean BBQ is still our go-to Korean restaurant in Halifax. The food is consistently delicious, flavorful, and authentic, and the service has always been warm and welcoming. We do miss the BBQ grill experience from their old location — it definitely added something special — but the quality of the dishes keeps us coming back every time. Always a solid choice for Korean food in the city."
