"Went with Korean friends, I like jokbal and seafood pancake, side dish have plenty variety which is good, the only bad thing is server put the wrong table for payment, my friend had to ran back to told them and did it all again."

"I was craving Bibimbap tonight and let me tell you about this little gem. One of the best mom and pop feeling authentic korean restaurants in the city. Absolutely loved the Bibimbap, my girl says the soups remind her of growing up in Korea, very authentic. Super polite staff. Prices are fantastic for the portion size dinner for 2 under $40 is a rarity. The Banchan is fresh, and refilled often. Mas-ise-eoyo Gamsahabnida Busan."

"We had an excellent experience here. My partner and I had never had cheolpan dakgalbi before and the servers were helpful and non-judgemental which made us feel at ease right away. The smell was intoxicating even before we cooked it! The food was so delicious and fresh. The chicken was tender and we loved the sauce. We loved the banchan options too. The price was so reasonable for the amount and quality of the food as well . We definitely will be back to try more things!! Remember to register your plate for 90 mins of free parking!"

"One of the best Korean restaurants I've tried here in Calgary. We had the baby octopus dak galbi and it was the bomb. Their side dishes are also really tasty, especially the pancake. The atmosphere is just pretty blah, but that's fine since we came for the food. It's clean and that's enough. The service started out badly as the server was a bit rude but improved throughout our meal. Maybe they were just stressed at the time, but their service was quick and efficient and they were friendly afterwards. I would recommend going here if you love Korean food. I will be back for sure!"

"I came here for the first time and enjoyed this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. It is easy to overlook the location next to the 7-11. I recommend that you do not overlook it anymore. This is a Korean restaurant that specializes in piping hot soups. They don't really have many other foods here, but the soups are perfect for warming you up on a cold Winter's Day. The staff speak very good English here so do not fret about not speaking Korean here. I really enjoyed the complimentary side dishes that come with the meals. They will refill them if asked to do so. The interior decor is a bit run down, but the star of the show is definitely the food. Parking is free here but DO NOT FORGET TO SCAN THE QR CODE ON THE WALL AT THE FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT! They will ticket you if you don't."

"This is one of our top favourite Korean restaurants in the city. We come here at least once a month. Our favourites here are the soon-dubu and the gamjatang, beef knee soup, and their big hotpots for 2+ people. The food is so comforting and tastes authentic. We also love the side dishes they offer and unlimited rice refills."

"Busan Korean Cuisine is a small, cozy restaurant with friendly staff and traditional Korean food. Choosing dishes was a bit challenging since the menu doesn’t have photos, and if you’re not familiar with Korean cuisine, it’s hard to know what to expect. We ordered the ribs, and it was somewhat uncomfortable to eat them from a deep bowl. We were also surprised that the small salad side dishes are meant to be shared between two people. Overall, a pleasant experience, but adding photos to the menu would make ordering much easier."
