I will talk about my experience and impression. Kindly note that my heat tolerance level is limited. \n\nI ordered a tofu soup at medium spiciness level per a suggestion of a fellow Yelper. I noted on menu that \"medium\" spiciness was less spicy than \"regular\" spiciness. Okay, shouldn't be too bad, I thought. And it wasn't. It was spicy beyond my comfort zone, but not torturingly so. For reference, I can handle the \"Hot\" level wings at Wild Wings just fine, but authentic Northern Chinese spiciness is too spicy to me. The medium spiciness at Buk Chang is in-between these two. Spiciness aside, the tofu was very soft and smooth. The texture was similar to the texture of tofu dessert. Other than tofu, there were a lot of other ingredients. One of them was a small shrimp (mentioned in menu) which was too small to eat. All ingredients were fresh. The soup tasted pretty good. I liked the purple rice, too. It was a big pot of soup. It took me a while to finish it. By the time I finished, I felt really full. \n\nThe ambience was down to earth, non-pretentious. I felt like I walked into a neighbourhood corner shop in Korea. The services was polite and effective. I will likely return to try a bibimbap, which is my favourite Korean entree."^^ . "2"^^ . . "2016-07-18T00:00:00"^^ .
