Best Bunsik in New York
“Inexpensive dishes served in large portions at low prices—the whole point of bunsik.”
What the real thing tastes like
In Korean cuisine, bunsik (Korean: 분식) are inexpensive dishes available at bunsikjeom (분식점) or bunsikjip (분식집) snack restaurants. Bunsik literally means "food made from flour," referring to dishes such as ramyeon (라면; noodle soup) and bread, but modern bunsik restaurants serve other dishes in large portions at low prices, such as gimbap, tteokbokki, rabokki (tteokbokki with ramyeon), sundae, eomuk, and twigim. One bunsikjip chain is called "Gimbap Cheonguk".

Bunsik is the backbone of Korean casual eating—flour-based dishes and beyond, served in modest rooms where a full belly costs almost nothing. These snack restaurants pile your bowl high with ramyeon, gimbap, tteokbokki, sundae, and fried things, the kind of food you grab between errands or crave at 11 p.m. when hunger hits hard.
