Very slow service, two small orders of dumplings took 55minutes. Drinks were sold out leaving 6 cans of soda water to choose from. Preparation of dumplings were inconsistent some edges dried and chewy and others under done and doughy. Single worker was not multitasking very well. Oblivious to us standing at register to place order until we rang a bell (ah la pavlov's dog) noticed worker was working on orders individually and not in parallel. They appeared to not start the next order until previous order completed. That is the main reason things went as slowly as they did. Works has to learn how to hussle a bit to push the orders out. Observed several customers walk out because of the delay.
My friend and I have been trying to get here for awhile. Today the weather was perfect except for a little chilly. The reason being is the inside of this place is small. We sat outside. There are 3 metal tables with chairs each in their own "booth". Other patrons were not the cleanest. There was only one person on staff. She did a very nice job.
Our order did not take long to prepare. It was about 7 minutes. Everything tasted fresh and the garish was fresh. The dumplings without the sauces were a little "chewey" and not a lot of flavor. The sauces were great! We tried the kimchi killa (chicken); the straight up (pork); Toyko Drift (vegetables) and another straight up (vegatable).
The kimchi was so good. The soy sauce was so good here. It had like an apple cider for acidity.
I give this place a solid B. My friend felt is was a B-. He was disappointed with flavor profiles. He gives the soy sauce here a solid A+.

Honestly such a good experience!! ☺️The food was fresh, flavorful, and actually tasted like it was made with care. Everything came out looking really good, and the portions were definitely worth it. The staff was also really nice and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they actually care about their customers and the quality of what they’re serving. Definitely a place I’d recommend and come back to again!! 🔥❤️

I was excited to try Bun Buds and I was very disappointed. I ordered to go, the individual working made me the wrong order, and ultimately I waited for 30 minutes to receive my 1 item order. Music was also blasting through the speakers within the restaurant which made it difficult to communicate and resolve the issue with my order. After trying the food, the rice was barely cooked, the KBBQ barely had any flavor and my disappointment has increased. Also, while I was at the restaurant, a Grubhub driver was trying to get an order filled and the individual working said they didn’t have a chocolate chip brownie… while she was standing right next to the display case with the chocolate chip brownies. That should tell you enough.
Got a lunch plate comes with choice of meat, 3 dumplings, egg, pickles, and rice.
I got chicken, it was the cheapest smallest piece of chicken ever, maybe half of a palm sized, it was thigh meat so I mostly got fat. The rice was under cooked. The dumplings were cold and came with no sauce (advertised with dipping sauce ) the pickles were just slice cucumber, and the marinated ramen egg was just an egg not marinated. First and last time going there, no thanks
