"Chris and Alicia Chung brought Korean food to Old City with Buk Chon, a sweet little BYOB serving flaky, fluffy green onion pancakes, crispy shrimp fries, and sizzling bibimbap." - George Banks-Weston
"Buk Chon is a teensy Korean BYOB that makes great staples and you can almost always get a table. They serve a variety of classics, from Korean fried chicken to bibimbap and budae jigae. There's only one dish on the menu costs more than $20, which means you should be coming here the next time you're in Old City and don't want to overpay for a totally fine dinner among the masses.

"Korean BYOB Buk Chon, with its exposed brick walls and comfy banquettes, is where to go for double-fried chicken with chile sauce, a plate piled with bulgogi, and sizzling bibimbap." - Diana Lu
"Buk Chon in Old City serves dolsot bibimbap with a variety of toppings." - Diana Lu
"Buk Chon’s takeout-only bibimbap is a beautiful medley of rice, assorted vegetables, and egg, served with a choice of vegetable, rib eye beef, tofu, spicy pork, or chicken. Once dine-in service resumes, the dish arrives in a hot stone pot that gives the bottom layer of rice the perfect level of toasty, crunchy goodness." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
