Bunsmith

I absolutely love this place. Went in person with my brother and got almost all of the buns (which were incredible) and he got the pork jowl bowl and I got the beef bowl. Now, I’ve reordered via caviar and it was just as good as I remembered. Order the cauliflower nuggets - they’re amazing with the side sauce.

Bunsmith has become a regular spot for us. They have really delicious vegan options and a great vibe. My favorites are the tofu shiitake bun and sticky fries (especially with a generous drizzle of the table sauce), but you can't order anything bad here, all the food and cocktails are amazing. If you're trying to reduce your waste, know this place is a paper napkins/disposable chopsticks/toothpicks joint: best to bring your resuables! However water is refilled, cups and dishware are reusable, and not a straw in sight.

Love the impossible burger buns, and the shitake tofu buns. I can always get my husband to order from here because of the spam and cookie butter buns, the Korean chicken nuggets are amazing as well. When I received the cauliflower nuggets instead of the chicken once, they promptly went way out of their way to bring me the right item. Awesome.

Good food, nice service, and a fun setting. Not a lot of vegan options (the buns themselves aren't vegan even with the vegetarian filling), but those that are on the menu are tasty. Great beer and drinks options that are almost worth going for alone, as are the appetizers. I'm particularly a fan of the shishito peppers. Recommend that you give it a try if you live in the area.

Modern twist on Korean classics. Bunsmith pleasantly surpassed my expectations! I got the Bulgogi ramen (I.e. Bulgogi on zucchini noodles with a bit of broth.) It came with plenty of veggies and bulgogi (meat)! I didn't try their Kimchi Back (whiskey + Kimchi juice -- a play off of pickle backs -- whiskey + pickle juice), but that fusion philosophy describes the menu here well. Fun environment, friendly staff. Slightly pricey. Would come again.
