    There is nothing better than getting a couple of buns and some fries at the Bun Shop. I've never had a bun I didn't like there, but the kalbi is my favorite.

    The kalbi bun was my favorite. Fries are on the well done side and has some great seasoning. Didn't get a beer but kinda wish I did. Would love to come back.

    The lil' baos wow at this K-town joint that still serves up some of the best french fries in the business. The owners hail from Detroit, so expect any Lions game to take precedent on the big screen. Read more

    Kalbi for the win!! The veggie bao was surprisingly good too. Don't forget to try the fried Oreo dessert.

    Got the 3 for $10 bun set. Buns are kinda small but still tasty. My favorite was the pork belly bun. I like that they also sell beer here :)

    Three bao for under $10. They're small, the size of a taco, but they have a lot of options.

    The Kalbi bun was my favourite. The katsu bun needed more flavour and the spicy pork was just fine.

    This place is pretty good, but they just changed their menu and for some reason got rid of their sweet potato fries :(. It was their best thing!
