Bokki Seoul Food

"Worst Korean food I’ve ever tried. I was in the food for Korean fried chicken and saw this place had rave reviews… I don’t know HOW people are giving this place such positive feedback, unless they’ve never had Korean food. The cucumber kimchi had this weird sauce - it wasn’t fermented as another reviewer noted. The chicken was most disappointing - we tried the “spicy gochujang” wings and they were barely spicy, but also lacked depth. The chicken is cut up into small pieces, which I would’ve appreciated if the sauce was well seasoned. Because the fries were so sweet, we ordered rice… tell me how they messed up the rice?! It was long grain, undercooked and tasted old. The space restaurant is in a shared space with a coffee shop (should’ve been a red flag) and has no vibe. Would be a good place to get work done, but not a spot to enjoy a meal."

"Wow, I'm astounded by the 4.5 star reviews that led me to believe that this place might be good. This is some of the worst Korean food I've ever had and I have eaten it all over the world. I had the spicy pork and it tasted like someone had just doused cooked pork in a mediocre gochujang sauce. There were some nearly tasteless pickled onions, dry raw shredded carrots and some cucumber on the side. The rice was undercooked. I spent another 5 bucks on terrible cabbage kimchi which every Korean person should know how to make and you can buy already made if not. It was not fermented. It tasted like They blanched the cabbage and then drowned it again in gochujang. Miserable. I highly recommend kuun on Livingston as an alternative."

"We stopped in for lunch and were given food recommendations at the counter. I ordered the medium soy garlic Korean fried chicken and my SO ordered the gochujang fried chicken, we both got orders of the honey butter fries with a total of $12 per meal. The food was very tasty! It was a good amount of food leaving us satisfied but not overly full, and for such a good price. We will be coming back for sure!"

"Incredibly yummy food and cozy atmosphere with a food court kinda layout. Be sure to try the dumplings and the karaage, those are both very delicious. The honey butter french fries were absolutely amazing, especially when paired with some kimchi!!! The cucumber kimchi packs a punch while the traditional cabbage kimchi is nice and mellow. It seems the place might eventually get a sushi place and bar on the upper floor too, which I’m definitely looking forward to!"

"Such a great spot for classic Korean dishes and to try things you might not have had before. I loved this spicy chicken bowl. Can’t wait to come back for more! Also, it’s so great that the owner is so excited to share his love of food and recommend things to you as soon as you walk in."
