Bul

BUL - 3.8/5BUL holds a special place in our hearts--it's where we had dinner after our first date, so we keep coming back for the memories as much as the food. The dishes are good, though not extraordinary. Our usual go-tos are the seafood pancakes and fried chicken. If we're with friends, we'll order a whole chicken to share, which makes for a fun group experience.The service here is consistently great, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is relaxed, with a casual dine-in vibe, and they also have an upstairs area that's perfect for larger gatherings.

Chicken was average and ddeokbokki was good-- but also can you go wrong with ddeokbokki?Service was good and ambiance was very casual. Best to go with friends or family!

Good korean in DC area. Love their bulgogi bowl- Portions were ample. Like their Saki too. A lil pricey range for food in the area though. Place is decent but not fancy enough for the prices. Still good place to try if you are craving Korean or after bar hopping.

Bul lived up to all of my expectations. Once I saw form cheese on the menu I knew we had to go. Went on a rainy weekday and had the restaurant almost entirely to ourselves. Food came out quickly, but it also didn't come out together which was a little frustrating. The cheese from was cheesy and creamy and everything I dreamed. My japchae with bulgogi was a huge portion and so delicious. The rabokki also had so many layers for it (and get cheese as an add on it's so worth it). It's a little far from my place but I'll definitely be back!

I had a great experience at BUL. The food, the service, everything was amazing. I enjoyed how we drank makgeolli in the Korean traditional way. The army stew and seafood pancakes were flavorful, just like I wanted. And the hotteok is a must-have dessert. It was so delicious!!

I've been to Bul twice now and have had two completely different experiences!The first time was on a Friday around prime dinner time. My friend and I ordered their JapChae, Buligogi bowl, and KFC. We waited over an hour before getting our food, and without asking or mentioning anything to the staff, the manager came over and apologized. They comped us our drinks and made sure the remaining experience was good. The food was solid, but I was more biased bc I was starving The second time was two weeks ago, on a Saturday night. The restaurant was almost empty, which was really surprising. My friends and I ordered their Dukbokki, SoonDuBu Jiggae, and soy Garlic KFC. The jiggae didn't have a lot of Tofu, which was a little disappointing. The chicken was good, but not great. There aren't a lot of Korean restaurants in Admo, let alone Korean places, so Bul stands out. However, there's better out there for sure. Nevertheless, the service here is pleasant and I appreciate the cuisine they bring to the area

Yum! The jap chae with bulgogi is going on the list as a favorite DC dish! Super tasty and a massive portion.The location is cool and the vibes are nice! Service was super slow but very nice too. This was a great bite in AdMo!

I have been coming here for years and I'm very sad to report that while this place is still a good place to bring friends to for some small bites, it is no where near a spot for an authentic meal. The sauces are too sweet, the Japchae was disappointing but the winner was the o-dari (hard to mess up battered fried squid) and the Korean fries (and only because the sauce and cheese were a winner).The only way I'm coming back is if Im bringing a group for some fun before a big event and will be no longer having big meals here.

I thought the food here was good but not amazing. My friends and I got a bunch of appetizers and the tofu bibimbap. The food came out really fast and the servers were super friendly. I thought the bibimbap lacked some flavor and the spicy popcorn chicken was a little too crunchy, but everything else was good. We also split the Makkoli (a type of rice wine) which was not what I expected (it was cold even though it was served in a tea pot) but it tasted pretty good.

We came on New Year's Day and it was open. Always a plus. I ordered the Bulgolgi BiBimbap. It was delicious. The hostess and waitress was really nice and gave us recommendations. My husband ordered the half chicken and it was a lot of chicken. We ended up taking 4 pieces home with us. The sweet chili sauce was good. He had a honey ginger tea and it looked great especially for these cold months. I highly recommend this place.
