    Creative, unique and delicious food! We just had the perfect experience. It was so refreshing to find a place so special, food that is being cooked to perfection, and such unique flavours. Sitting on the bar and watching it all happen was an amazing experience. The staff was very welcoming and helpful as they made sure we are having the best experience ever. The chefs definitely know what they are doing! I admire these kind of places. Well done! We are so lucky to have you in Calgary. We will definitely come back again.

    The food is really good, the bulgogi bibimbap is exquisite and tasty. Love the pork belly as well and the Japanese hotpot. Overall we enjoyed the ambience, the food and the service.

    My friends and I had a great time at BUL. We ordered the AAA Katsu steak plate, Prime Rib steak plate and braised “COTE” galbi special plate. Everything tasted great. The galbi special plate may be on the sweeter side for some. Overall it was a great experience and we found the price for our meal was very reasonable. Really enjoyed it

    Absolutely fabulous! We live very close and it was the first time we’ve been here. Read the reviews and tried the shrimp dim sum and Wagyu beef tartare. Both were outstanding! Gorgeous presentation and so tasty. We also shared the Fire Bul dumpling soup which which was delicious and hearty. Definitely will come back to try more dishes.

    We recently went there for Valentines. The beef tartare was an outstanding dish, I would go back there for that dish alone. Some of the other dishes had a good concept but not executed the best. We sat at the bar, the chef and kitchen staff were great, funny and very personable. Would go again.
