Since its first opening at the heart of Charing Cross, right opposite to @oseyo, they have established a second branch in Embankment. There’s been a long queue 👯‍♂️in front of their shop almost every weekend as I visited & walked around @chinatown!

Bunsik offer a wide variety of Korean street food but imo their most popular food goes to Korean Corn Dogs!

✨Here’s my review✨

1️⃣ Selection of Corn Dogs
🌟 10/10
Cheese & Cheese (£7.50)
Potato Mozarella (£5.90)
Octo Legs (£6.00)
Set for 2: Half & Half + PM (£10.00)

All of their corn dogs make my mouth watering and they taste superb. You can choose to get the cheese only or mix it with hotdogs or coated with potatoes cube. I paired each of my corn dogs with a mix of different sauces to spice it up which includes: sweet chilli, buldak mayo, mayo and cheese sauce (+£0.50).

One corndog is never enough and if you’re planning to get more than one then I’d highly recommend you to get the set for two – “𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐳𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚” & 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟-𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 (𝐢.𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 & 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞 🧀 ). My favourite sauces are their spicy buldak Mayo sauce & Thai sweet chilli sauce. 🌶

This BLEW ME AWAYYY – it tastes so so good! Because of its high demand, you will get to taste the hot & freshly made corn dogs after waiting for around 10 min ++. I absolutely love both types especially the “cheese section”; they are so generous with their cheese and their cheese pull is insane!

Highly recommend you to try their spicy buldak sauce as it tastes absolutely good when you bite through their sugar-coated corn dogs skins covered with the hot sauce, straight into the cheese, immediately feel an explosive mix of spicy & sweet in your tastebud.

2️⃣ Ddukbokki (Small)
💰 £5.50
🌟 8.5/10

This is a plate of rice cake with fishball cook in spicy sauce. One of the best tteokbokki I’ve tried before – the overall flavour is impressive and it tastes spicy. The texture of rice cake is chewy and nice, it is covered thoroughly with sufficient spicy sauce.

3️⃣ Ramyun (Spicy)
💰 £4.90
🌟 7/10

Economics-wise, you shouldn’t get this bowl as you can get five packs of Shin Ramen if you buy it from grocery store. But, I’m craving for ramyun and this is so delicious 🤤

𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩: 8.5/10 🌟 HELL YEAH! I will definitely bring my whole village of friends to visit this lovely shop in due course! Who doesn’t love corn dogs? 🥳🥰🥺 comment & let me know where have u tried ur fav corn dogs in ur lifeee ❤️
