Everything was so tasty! The fried cauliflower nuggets are a treat, the tofu lettuce wraps are amazing, and the buns are great. I thought the beef one had great texture but could do with a more interesting sauce, and the tofu/mushroom one was delish.

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.

Totally amazing buns- I recommend the spicy Korean Fried Chicken bun. You can’t go wrong with any of the food.
The mural up front is pretty cool.

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.

Pretty delicious spot with small and large plates, some traditional and cray flavors, and good cocktails. Had a cookie dough-SPAM bun and it was pretty good. Some choice veggie options and also some savory meaty flavors. Worth the trip.

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.

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.

Definitely not the best bun in the city, but surely a good place to go and have a bunch and a beer, an uncommon combination

Its a bit noisy, but the service is always pretty good! You'll be full on just 3 orders of buns. I suggest you avoid the rice dishes and the new fried chicken is not great.
Buns are good, fun finger-food. Great place to grab a quick bite. Music is always 80s fabulous.

Great little restaurant with tasty Korean food. I love the bowls with zucchini noodles. They taste awesome and are guilt reduced ;) if you want something sweet to finish your meal, get the cookie butter bun (without spam). We loved it!

So, this place has a laid-back, cozy vibe and offers some pretty unique and tasty food options. I had two buns (spicy Korean fried chicken and jackfruit) as well as the sticky fries. Everything came out quick and the service was friendly. All the food was very good, with the best and most unique being the jackfruit bun. Their menu lists a "spam and cookie butter bun", which I would be curious to try next time!
One quick note: ordering two buns and fries, after tax and tip, set me back twenty bucks. Certainly won't break the bank, but I'm not sure it fits in the "cheap eats" category (which is how I found Bunsmith in the first place), either.
Still, this is a cool place with good food, and I would come here again.

So this place was fantastic! The food may take a while to come out but the great music, service, and atmosphere make the time pass by quickly. It's also very kid friendly, my daughter loved it. We had the bulgogi, soy ginger chicken, pork jowl, and soft shell crab buns. Which I recommend to anyone who comes here. All in all I'm definitely coming back here in the future.

Food was excellent. Ordered the pork jowl bowl, artichoke bun, spicy chicken bun, and the soy garlic bun. The artichoke bun was a bit salty and not that great. Should have went with the tofu instead. Only one bathroom available for the whole place, but it was spacious, clean, and had towels. Street parking was easy to find since it wasn't that busy when I went. Only problem is the small portions for the price.
