Bi Won Restaurant

Delicious and authentic Korean food. Excellent variety of side dishes and stews. What is remarkable about this restaurant is the phenomenal service and attention. The service staff has remained the same, unchanged, throughout the years I’ve frequented this place. It’s a joy to go there and have a satisfying and hearty meal. Their home-made Kimchi is fantastic.

This place is closer to the city center than most other Koreatown restaurants. So it takes less time to get there from city center. The grilled fish and dajaang stew were pretty good but the kimchi stew was rather tasteless. The side dishes were pretty good.

This place is simply fantastic. It is unpretentious and the decor is simple. I had a bad cold and I was looking for a hot spicy soup. The rice cake and dumpling soup along with 5 types of kimchi and rice for 7$ USD is amazing. I've had this winter soup before and this is legit Korean. Huge portions and everything was though I were in Korean resto in Seoul or Incheon. I was so impressed, I got a Bibimbap plate to go. So I got 2 large complete meals and water and coke and generous tip for 16$ USD. In a sea of steak, pasta and milanesa, this place is a godsend.

Delicious food. However interior of restsurant is outdated (feels like 80's) and location is quite far from surrounding restaurants. Waiters is do friendly and helpful. Too bad cant use card, only effectivo (cash)

Was quite when I got there but no worries food still good. Ordered spicy squid. Warning it's big enough to easily feed two so if you're alone suggest trying something else.

I dont know why we still have a restaurant that not accept the credit card now aday, like try to avoid the tax or smt.

Very good restaurant richy food and great service. Price affordable I tried the fish and carne all were deities and enough for 2 people

Very salty, big portions, a little bit expensive. Credit card payment not possible, you get no real bill, just a paper. Not all menu options are available.

Walked in and saw two customer eating. The restaurant person came over and said they are closing. We were there at 2pm & sign said 3pm closing. And that they don't accept credit card. Then walked away. So much for a hardy Korean food.

A revisit to Bi Won, more or less on the border of Recoleta and Congreso areas, a place I first reviewed on my blog about 30 seconds after I arrived in BA a decade ago. Absolutely nothing has changed. No, really, nothing. The ambiance is exactly as it has always been, perhaps, at best, mildly spruced up, but more just enough to not quite let it go to seed. I'm pretty sure the same waiters are working as have always been. The menu is identical other than pricing - okay, there's a change - dinner for two will now run you around 4-500 pesos with tip, still eminently reasonable for the food, which is as solid, authentic, and tasty as it was ten years ago - we obviously shared the ban chan dishes, and the waiter even brought more different ones when he saw how much we enjoyed; and then pork dumpling soup (manduguk), and a gobdol bibimbap in the piping hot stone bowl. It saves a trip to bajo Flores or Floresta to get a fix on Korean flavors - which does not negate that there are plenty of spots out there with more delicious and more authentic food. Bi Won gets a more touristy crowd, but on most of my visits, the tourists have been Korean, looking for a taste of something familiar amidst the plethora of parrillas in the city.
