Restaurant Korean restaurant

👍 All in all, I wouldn’t call it “authentic” Korean food but that would be an unfair expectation here. The food was pretty tasty and reasonably priced, the staff were very friendly as well. I just wish the food was warmer, and for the kitchen to not ring the bell so much as it can be heard throughout...

    It's easier to get a reservation calling than texting; the food was nice but far from authentic Korean. The bathroom could use a touch up. Apart from that, everything is well priced, the staff was kind and the place had a great atmosphere.

    Great place, great service and delicious food. I felt very welcomed and well attended by the nice staff. They were very helpful on showing me the menu on their phones since I left mine at home and there's only QR menu there. I tried the traditional table, such a unique experience in the city. I really enjoyed my dinner there.

    Great place, good selection of food including ramyun (ramyeon) which they spell Ramen, but it is Korean style. We had the Ramen with chicken and a meaty set dish. Relative to a Colombian meal, it is more expensive, but reasonably priced for a foreign meal.

    Bobby & Friends was such a pleasant and authentic experience. Bobby himself greeted us, and we felt very welcomed. The design of the restaurant felt very real for a Korean restaurant. We had the option to sit in tables or on the floor on cushions. As for the food, it was delicious. I will say that, for me who likes spice, the food was not spicy enough. I got a 4/5 spice on my vegetable ramen, and I would have considered it a 2. That said, there were many vegetarian options. The flavor was so good. All of my friends were satisfied and full after.

    Food was amazingly good and you get a lot of different dishes. Took an hour to get there, but they give you some small snack to kill the hunger and the staff is very friendly and professional. But the most important is still that the food is delicious and not expensive. I want to come back here whenever I can.

    (Translated by Google) The food took forever, the waitresses do not know the menu and in summary it was an unpleasant experience, I leave 1 star because Google does not allow to leave 0. First and last time on this site (Original) La comida se demoró una eternidad, las meseras no se conocen el menú y en resumen fue una experiencia desagradable, dejo 1 estrella porque Google no permite dejar 0. Primera y última vez en este sitio

    Loved the place, but not the food. Went for dinner and lunch service and tried various dishes. Except for the Kimchi, in terms of flavor and presentation, the offered set menus are far from being Korean. Also, the bulgogi (only pork belly) is served with fried rice and a strongly modified Gochujang sauce. As for the soju, there are no glasses, it must be savored in plastic cups. Having said so, prices are very reasonable. For the sake of the environment, may I suggest you stop using disposable cutlery (chopstick, plastic spoons and cups) in an established restaurant?

    A strange experience to say the least as a 2nd generation Korean from California to be sitting in a Korean restaurant in Colombia. I half expected to walk into a restaurant with all the Koreans in 300 square miles sitting and eating and speaking Korean like you often see in other cities but i was the only Asian there. Still, pretty great to see colombians coming in to appreciate the food and culture and seeing a few singing along to the Kpop was nice to see. The food is recognizable but you can definitely see how access to ingredients and the local palate has affected the dishes. Prices are very good for what you get. Plain white rice was...very foreign in it's preparation, maybe locally influenced. You may want to order additional sides if you're from anywhere with more traditional preparations and flavors.

    Being a Korean American my review may be a bit harsher than most. If you're not familiar with Korean food than this place will be a great start. Although I suggest you keep in mind that having truly authentic top-notch Korean food in Bucaramanga is a challenge. Remember what your experience is like and then compare it to when you give it another try in cities like LA or Northern Virginia. And obviously if you go to Korea it's gonna be on a whole other level. I assume it is because of import challenges of certain ingredients and the fact that there isn't really a high standard for Korean food in the market. The food was ok. It was enough to satisfy my craving. What makes up for the ok food was the ambiance and service. The owner was also very gracious and friendly and checked in to make sure my visit was enjoyable. The space is also designed for groups to go, eat, and share endless bottles of Soju. True Korean style. So if you're looking for a fun experience more than a high quality culinary journey this is a great place to visit.

    Came here the other night and the atmosphere is so beautiful and unique. Being a visitor who doesn’t speak Spanish, the server were patient with me. The food were delicious but I think I might have accidentally order a set menu cause there were a lot of food. I had some type of black noodle with great flavors and with a little kick to it. I can prob have it a little more spicy since I love spicy food. The pork belly were savory and delicious. The kimchi weren’t as sour or spicy as I wanted.

    (Translated by Google) The food is great. The attention is from another world: They are very kind. And the prices are excellent. Although there is no parking in front there is an economic one. (Original) La comida es genial. La atención es de otro mundo: Son muy amables. Y los precios son excelentes. Aunque no tiene parqueadero al frente hay uno económico.

    (Translated by Google) The food is delicious, however I feel that it was better before, their prices have risen quite a bit. There is usually a wait to get in so I suggest making a reservation. (Original) La comida es rica, sin embargo siento que antes era más rica, sus precios han subido bastante. Suele haber espera para entrar así que sugiero reservar.

    (Translated by Google) The most beautiful experience, the food was very very delicious, everything was fresh, we ordered several dishes to try and everyone left us wanting to know more about the menu. I appreciate the attention of the very attentive people who attend the place.

    (Translated by Google) The food is very good, and there is a great variety of dishes. The only thing I didn't like was that the tablecloth was damp when the table was cleaned. The attention was also good. (Original) La comida muy bien, y hay gran variedad de platos. Lo único que no me gusto fue que el mantel quedó húmedo al momento que limpiaron la mesa. La atención también fue buena.

    It's a great food experience! Everything is delicious and the atmosphere is somewhat different. You can enjoy noodles, meat with fruits and a spicy ice tea. You can make your own rice paper rolls, the staff will teach you how. The place has an oppen terrace, with K-pop playing on the background.

    The food came really fast and was tasty. Something was happening with the staff at the end though and it took like 15 minutes to get the check and pay.
