Bun Boy Camden

If you’re in Camden and are into korean food I strongly recommend to try Bun Boy. Located in a great place, very near the igloos to eat in. There’s not much offer but wow everything is delicious! And for a great price!!! We tried Spicy Seoul Burger which is chicken tenders with a delicious sauce in the bun burger. And tried also Korean Fried Chicken Tenders which are the tenders, delicious seasoned fries and any sauce you choose. The fried chicken is absolutely delicious!! Chicken is not dry at all, super crispy! The sauce of the burger is an absolute dream!! How delicious! A meal like this with one drink is like £20 for two, which is bargain! Amazing food for great price!!

Me and Mrs decided to explore Camden market. After all the stalls screaming at us and shoving food samples right at our faces, we decided to go to bun boy. No regrets at all. The guy at the stall was very friendly and not at all boisterous, which made us feel welcome at the market. The fried chicken with chips and all the spices on top was delicious. The wait didn’t take too long as well which was a major plus as we had plans to go elsewhere. I really wish I got the guys name. Next time I’m in London, I’ll be back here.

Pretty decent burger... Watching the vendor prepare the burger in such close quarters in Camden Market you can see the care and attention that goes into cooking each component of the burger and it's definitely evidenced in the result. I went for the Korean burger which is a double smash patty with cheese made "Korean" by being rolled with a kimchi style slaw. I tend to be wary of Korean fusion food items as it tends to be an excuse to bury mediocre food underneath saccharine sweet sauces or to wantonly add kimchi to dishes where it adds very little. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to see the restraint that was used in this particular case. Positives - The texture of the burger was great! The bun danced a delicate balance between pillow-like softness whilst still being sturdy, with the toasting adding a wonderfully pleasant crunch to each bite. Burger patties are ideally charred on the grill and oozing glorious amounts of juice. Sauce enough to lubricate each bite but not to soak through the burger. Each piece meticulously crafted. On the negative side is the taste. With this much care you'd expect a top level flavour sensation and it just isn't present here. The meat doesn't have a great inherent flavour and isn't seasoned remarkably. The sauce adds little too, you know it's there but it doesn't blow you away. The Korean toppings are conspicuous in how inconspicuous they are with each bite. On the whole at £9.50 without chips it's a fine choice. It's just not top level. When texture and taste match, they'll have a winner...
