Dangun in Bristol, City of

We keep coming back for the bulgogi, the fried chicken and the chicken dumplings. The place may look simple, but the quality of the food is amazing. Watch out for the super-hot kimchi with the bulgogi.

Amazing big clean flavours. Popping food and drinks. Proper Korean service lovevthis place will be back fo sure. KFC and corn dog A gamers!

Good budget option in the centre, with some tasty vegetarian options. Fried cauliflower was very good and kimchi fries were nice and smoky. Wasn’t a big fan of the curry sauce or vegetarian dumplings, but can’t complain at the price. Portions are on the small side. Service is very good.

The restaurant is cramped, choices are very limited. Not recommended if you want 'real' Korean food

I ordered korean fried chicken with rice and a coke zero. The chicken tasted like gone off, the rice with 0 flavor at all. The shop was boiling hot, dirty and humid from the cooking. price £17.9

Best fried chicken I've had so far in bristol in 22 years. Would of liked more of the glaze but can't fault the cooking

this was such a fail after me and my cousin were so excited to try this! there’s almost no one inside and it’s so dark in the place and when we visited there was like a drunk person sleeping on the benches inside so uncomfortable! the portion sizes were ridiculous and didn’t even taste that good! do not go to this place yall x

This is the worst so called “Korean” food I have ever tried in Bristol. They were just cooking and serving frozen food. We ordered the Topokki, and it didn’t have a good consistency. It didn't taste like restaurant quality food at all. The pork belly slices were just as disappointing, they tasted like they had been simply steamed with a sprinkle of sesame seeds nothing more. Honestly, even I could cook better at home. I will definitely never recommend this place.

Food is always good and well priced. Lunch time prices are very reasonable. Slightly longer wait times during lunch as there’s a limited number of staff.

The food was gorgeous, perfect plate sizes and quick, friendly service. Lunch deal makes it really affordable and meant that my early dinner was able to be a lovely meal rather than a quick in and out at a fast food place (it runs up til 5pm and meant I got 2 plates, rice, kimchi and a drink for £20)

Unfortunately, my first and last visit. Came with a friend today for a quick corn dog lunch snack. The waitress wasn’t interested at all. We’ve been given cans of coke with no glasses or straws. Corn dogs were tiny, on 1 plate (even though there were 2 of us) we did not get any extra plate. We’ve been not given tissues no nothing and the table was sticky from oil. The prices are high for such a small portion of food. A NO

Really appreciate the food presentation- makes their Korean food looks so gorgeous! And the food also tastes good. However, the way that the dishes are served seems to me much more suitable for having a light meal or enjoying a Korean style snack time. The tofu soup I had in South Korea contained either seafood or meat, and the portion was big enough to serve as a person’s main meal. It is not the case at this restaurant. There is no seafood or meat in their spicy tofu soup and dishes are quite small in portion. Considering the portion of food, the food is a bit pricey. 💔 I feel that the restaurant is more like a bar and maybe I will go there again for tea time. The floor is a bit sticky. Would be much better if it is cleaned more often.🥹

The food is always amazing here. The fried chicken is delicious but the star of the show is the bulgogi and pork belly slices. It’s a great chill atmosphere with proper Korean beer. Always recommend this place.

Been here a couple times and the food is always packed with flavour. My favourite (which really surprised me) is the kimchi tofu soup - it's so hearty and something that I love!! It is a small and intimate restaurant which I dont mind but do feel whenever I come, I always come out smelling like the food - It doesnt stop me from coming back but it is something I'm not too keen on.

This is just bad Korean food, nothing tastes like Korean food, fried chicken was just soaky and salty, and other dishes were just confusing and weird. The waiter was so confused when I asked for gochujang sauce, if you don't even know what gochujang is, why are you working in a Korean restaurant? As an Asian person, I do not recommend this restaurant.

Back home, I've had countless 순두부찌개, and this tofu soup they serve is barely an imitation. If you are visiting, please order something else. Luckily, the fried chicken is passable; it's about what you'd expect from cheap South Korean takeaways. I've had better, I've had worse. They do have soju(alcohol): Chamisul(16.5%) and some fruit-flavoured variants.

the food was absolutely amazing (we ordered more after we finished) and the service was very good considering they seemed busy and a bit short staffed.

The floor is sticky, a nauseating smell of rancid oil and the toilets without soap to wash your hands. The food is good nothing more. We go out with the smell….

"Lovely food. It was the best decision of the night to come here" - my mum

Went here in hopes that the Korean cuisine would be authentic but unfortunately fell short of expectations. We ordered the kimchi fries, corn dogs and soy garlic chicken. The corn dogs were reminiscent of those you would find in the freezer aisle at your local supermarket, they were quite small as well, very different from corn dogs you would get at other korean places. The chicken was not bad but the kimchi fries were not the best either. Prices were not the worst however and service was good.

Loved the fried cauliflower & crispy vegetable dumplings. Good environment and friendly staff.

It's not traditional Korean food. Even basic kimchi stew is not on the menu. Not recommended.

Early Sunday evening meal. Delicious food. Nice vibe. Outdoor and indoor seating. Favourites were Korean Chicken & Pork Belly. Service could have been better.

Really great selection of tasty food! Worth trying as many different things as you can. The Korean Fried Chicken was perfect 🥵

Very hot humid inside, no ac or fans. Service was spot on, very tiny gal took our orders and 4 mi s food arrived. No entrees and small apps only.Tasty and enjoyed the experience.

The food was super delicious! Didn’t take long to come out either. The vibe is super chilled! I would defo recommend the crispy Korean chicken! Does not disappoint!

The good was delicious though I feel like my chicken was so crispy that it needed more of the katsu sauce to really enhance the texture and flavour. Service was was really good and made the atmosphere feel even more super chilled, which is what you want when you are eating!

A little gem of Korean food in Bristol. My girlfriend and I ate here and had a wonderful evening. The service was fast and faultless. There was a great selection of Korean alcoholic and soft drinks to accompany the food. The menu is diverse and can accommodate to allergies. I would recommend booking ahead, and be aware that the portion sizes are smaller than a main meal, so order a good selection accordingly. The Korean Fried Chicken and Beef Bulgogi with Kimchi have so much flavour, and the Corn Dogs are definitely worth a try. We would recommend this place to friends and family and will definitely be back again.

I've just had my first vegan meal from Dangun and it was absolutely amazing!!! 💚

We visited on my birthday without reservation. The waitress serving was very helpful with recommendations which didn't disappoint. The fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had and the vegetable dumplings were also great! Would definitely return.

The chicken was inedible The music they placed was terrible Took ages to take our plates away

Yum yum 🤤 We chose a selection of dishes which we shared between us and they were all delicious, fried chicken, fried cauliflower and vegetable dumplings with sides, kimchi was yumma!

Having read reviews on here and Google, I was expecting something really nice and tasty. It wasn't. The chicken was very dry and tough, the batter was tasteless and needed some seasoning, and the sauce was just a little drizzle. The rice was fine, but you can't go wrong with that. I wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend either. Sorry.

Tteokbokki was hard and did not taste great. Korean fried chicken sweet and spicy was chewy but the sauce it was in was mid at best. The watermelon soda was the best thing I got and that’s not their own. I don’t recommend.

We walked out, nearly 20 minutes without a drink or food order being taken, not especially busy, just an absence of management and inattentive staff. Food looked good, but we went elsewhere, fantastic Japanese just behind it.

We came in and were seated quickly. The waitress was very good. We initially asked for tap water as we chose our food, and it was nice. I ordered the Katsu Korean fried chicken and the katsu fries, and my partner ordered the bulgogi, the fried seaweed, and the rice. My katsu chicken was delicious, it was very crispy and moist and the sauce was amazing. The presentation was great too. The plates are designed to be shared so it would be better to come with multiple people do everyone can try some of multiple things. The bulgogi was very good, but the portion was a bit smaller than expected. The rice was well cooked and nice. Very good experience

Worth booking as it’s small. Fried chicken was to die for. Dumplings and bulgogi weren’t quite as good but still tasty. Friendly staff.

The atmosphere was cosy and warm. The service was fast and delightful. The servers were so kind and helpful it's wonderful to see. The food is all fresh and made for your order. It's always quick to be delivered to you as well. I would recommend this place if anyone would like to try good quality Korean food.

Ok/passable restaurant with small menu. More Asian generally than Korean. Quite expensive. Service hit and miss. Atmosphere was pretty good.

Portion is too small, 5 individual pork belly slices for £8.5. Charges £3.6 for steamed rice. Too pricey. Not even korean style foods.

Food not authentic, not good portion, poor service yet takes 7.70£ for service fees without consent

1. Not authentic Korean food 2. Small portions 3. Too pricey 4. Hidden service fees that will bleed you dry

Was sat to a table and waited 25 mins and with no service. The restaurant wasn’t busy and the server was just stood around doing nothing. I’d recommend walking another 5 mins and go elsewhere for Asian food

I just don’t like restaurants adding a discretionary service charge without telling us upfront. They already charged my card and when I asked for the receipt, lo and behold, an optional discretionary charge was added without even giving me a warning. This practice should be frowned upon in the UK and should not be normalised. I am never coming back. And btw, food is mid. Only the fried chicken is passable.

Poorest restaurant service ever! Told me would take my order and never did ! Ended up going to counter. Ordered and 5 pieces of chicken for £8.80! Wi-Fi also not working. No tissues on table. Rice on table. Clearly not clean.

Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! Service was great and everything was very reasonably priced.

Second time visiting after a long period and still a great place to eat. Fresh, quality, delicious food. Highly recommended.

Lovely waiting staff, but the food was clearly all cooked from frozen and the beef (bogogli) was actually vile and the fried chicken was dry af. Like in the kitchen you can’t see no one actually cooking hahaha. It’s not super expensive but not cheap - but nothing about it is authentic Korean food. Kimchi and seaweed salad were good though. Plus no shade to Britney but it was a bit weird having Born to make you happy BLASTING ful vol while in an korean restaurant for date night lmao

Fantastic restaurant, laid back atmosphere, great food and very reasonably priced. Would definitely go back here.

Food is just ok, traditional British Korean food. Price is high, especially the wine

I really enjoyed my meal here. We didn't have a booking but were well looked after and the food was delicious.

Execution of the food could use some work - belly was quite tough; fries were under salted and under sauced and the dumplings were not prepared well making the fact that they were cooked from frozen feel like a rip off. Would recommend the tofu soup, the Tteokguk and the corn dog (lol). Get a fruit soju and have some Poktanjus Defo work the visit for the novelty of the food and the atmosphere.

Oh my goodness We read the reviews about the lack of ventilation and I agree but this is authentic Korean food at affordable prices. We loved our experience and would recommend.

Was recommended this place by a friend from work, unfortunately it wasn’t very good. We were really excited after checking the instagram pictures but unfortunately the food didn’t look anything of that portrayed online. The portions were really small for the price paid and the food was average at best. I got the pork belly slices option with a corn dog and my girlfriend got the Korean chicken. We both agreed it was poor and so giving it a 4/10. Not the worst food ever, but not great.

The food is quite good, we liked everything we ordered, the portions are fair, not very large but rich in flavor. The waiters are friendly. The only fault that they should improve is that the place smells closed, of old wood and cooking odors, the floor is disgusting, sticky, your feet get stuck with every step, they should clean and ventilate the place enough.

Food was horrible. I ordered a tofu soup and it was like the leftover of a ramen soup. The soup came with a tiny bit of tofu, some egg drop and some garnishing, that was it! The grilled pork belly was overcooked and came slightly warm. They were so chewy and so hard to pull apart. For a main and a rice, it costed us £9. Will not be back ever.

Fantastic food! I would eat the fried cauliflower every day if I could. My partner ordered the same fried chicken (sweet and spicy is the best according to him) both times we had food here, it's that good. Also, the lemonades were surprisingly delicious as well, very refreshing.

Came here to celebrate the end of veganuary and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The star of the show was the kfc with katsu sauce. Really really good. I saw a review about ventilation and if I had to give one negative, I did smell like cooking after we left. But it didn’t detract from our experience. The veggie dumplings were great and so was the bulgogi. Can’t wait to come here more often!

Tried their chicken dumplings and koreon fried chicken. I absolutely enjoyed it. (It'd be great if they added tteokbokki to the menu as well).

Amazing Korean small plates - can’t fault it. Sesame side salad… 10/10, as is the famous Korean Fried Chicken

Had dinner with friends here. We expected authentic Korean food but did not find it here. Quality is good, but did not taste spicy enough as Korean food would. Corndog was just normal corndog.

Very friendly staff! Really enjoyed the korean fried chicken and great veggie options :))

Good portions and tasty enough. However the KFC coating was very thick and a bit chewy. Chicken dumplings were nice enough. Cauliflower was very tasty but quite greasy. What ruined the experience for me was the oily, smokey atmosphere. It got so bad my eyes were stinging and I was desperate for fresh air. When I got home, absolutely everything (Clothes, shopping, handbag, coat) stank of old, fried oil. Took 2 washes to get it out of my hair. Wouldn't go back for this reason unfortunately.

Stumbled across this lovely joint -- which was great luck! Ordered from the lunch menu. Great food and drinks, and good value. Would certainly recommend!

Love this place. The food is amazing and great value.

Great selection of Korean tapas here. Well recommended to get a few sharing plates. Chicken dumplings and cauliflower were amazing.

So delicious!!! Loved it!! 너무 맛있어!!!

Amazing food, always get some to take home. Shame it's been empty each time I've been in.

Nice place but the food was not great and two of us ended up being ill afterwards. I would not go back or recommend.

I really wouldn't recommend the place. Half of the food was cold, small portions and no good service. I reckon there are a lot of better places around.

We went past at lunch time on a Saturday and it was fairly quiet. They describe themselves as modern Asian so it was a mix of cuisines. All cooked fresh and were delicious.

Delicious korean delicacies with minimal menu options.💞 One of the finest korean restaurant visited. We tried korean crispy fried chicken 8/10. Vegetable dumpling 10/10 Kimchi 8.5/10 Lemonades 10/10 super refreshing. Icecream mochi 9/10

As Korean, I'm quite disappointed with the food here . Dumplings are not made in the house, it's frozen ones that you can find in supermarket. Also the dumpling sauce was not Korean style at all. tofu soup, not at all authentic Korean either . Disappointed and Sorry to say, I don't think I would go back to this restaurant. Restaurant needs some improvement in many aspects.

Really bad. To me, this was not Korean food at all. I came in yesterday for my friends birthday and was really let down after the reviews. The bulgogi was not bulgigi and had a very strange aftertaste, save yourself the time, and buy a marinade from the Asian store. The chicken tasted somehow tasted old, and it tasted like they put a peanut butter sauce in the honey and garlic sauce, why..? The corn dog was okay, but it was nothing to rave about. My tofu curry was VERY watered down, which made it bland. I also had 5 pieces of very small tofu, yes, I counted them. To me, that's ridiculous for something that is priced at £8. And for personal preference, I could've done without the sesame seeds on top of my rice. If I had known beforehand, I would have asked them to leave it off. The portion sizes are ridiculously small and not worth the price. There are much better places in and around Bristol, my partner and I both left very disappointed.

The vegan choices are so tasty and full of seasonings which really impressed me, it makes them addictive which is great as it’s healthy! I think I preferred the vegan choices over the meat which is a first for me! It’s a very casual dining area. For the food itself, I’d give it a 5/5 as I feel it oozes umami and is very comforting. This is my own personal problem but I’m not keen on restaurants that become smoky. They don’t sell Korean bbq so I don’t know why it got smoky as I left the restaurant smelling like food. Which is why I give the experience a 3/5 but that’s not a good enough reason for you to not go. I bet it will feel really cosy in winter but smelling like food is not something I enjoy. Staff were super nice though and I’m definitely recommending the place regardless.

Brilliant little place which is low key and delicious.

Great place to go if you want to wait ages to never be served, and people who arrive after you get served before you.

The food (Korean fried chicken) was okay, not giving me wowed and nothing special. The price of the food was reasonable and affordable but service charge 10% which we ordered at the counter and paid at the counter. So.. to be honest, I wouldn’t visit again.

We searched for Korean food and went to Dangun. We were not disappointed. The female server gave us advice on the best things to order for sharing. The chicken with the two dressings were delicious and the two types of gyozas were delicious. Really reasonable prices and some authentic Korean drinks. Highly recommend

Not Korean, dirty place, inedible food. We went here mid afternoon on Saturday and were the only customers even though the manager who I spoke to half an hour before said I should book as they might be fully booked on a busy Saturday. When we sat down the table next to us was covered in half left food, drinks and cans of previous customers. There were 3 staff basically doing nothing but none of them cleared it up until, at least 5 minutes later, I started to pile the dirty plates up myself. As for the food, every dish was disgusting. The so called Korean fried chicken (photograph) was just heavy batter hiding a small piece of chewy chicken over which they had poured some sweet gloopy Macdonald’s type brown sauce. The “Korean” fried cauliflower (is there such a dish?) was mushy over cooked cauliflower again surrounded by far too much batter with, this time, a cloying pink slime poured on top. The gyoza were not grilled, as billed, they were horrible, stodgy, flavourless and cold. Also covered in sugary brown sauce. The bulgogi was a tiny dish of cold strips of stir fried beef, bearing no relationship to actual bulgogi. I attach the one page menu which has very little on it and very little mention of Korean. Even the kimchi was fake. It was just a tiny pile of soggy cabbage in vinegar and ketchup. The manager, who was perfectly pleasant, was doing the cooking wearing his T shirt but no apron so he served us with his front spattered with bits of food and frying fat. As I write this I am trying to hold back retching as I remember the smell of dirty old frying oil that they obviously rarely change. To be honest it was like eating in a squat; there was a big black hole in the ceiling by the door, the white paintwork in places was dirty and grey and a pigeon came in and walked around under our table whilst we were eating. Sorry guys but surely you could get a Korean cook in to make the food tasty and not just for drunk students. And some self respect.

Delicious food with wallet-friendly prices.

Lovely little Korean street food place. Could do with a few more vegan options on the menu but generally fantastic and have enjoyed both visits so far.

1. Portion sizes are very small even you have ordered sharing plate. 2. Poor presentation of food. 3. Not adequately season with sauces. 4.Staffs are polite and friendly. 5. The place is not very tidy.

Portion is super small, super pricey!!!!!!!!!

Had a really nice meal here. Waiter was lovely and advised us what to order. Everything was delicious+ the beer ❄️. Washroom needs some attention!

Very good Korean street food in small plate form.

Great lunch time spot! Amazing food & super friendly & helpful service! Baby friendly as well! My wife & I took our little one for lunch & found there was another couple in with their baby. Very family friendly. Thank you for an incredible lunch

Really delicious food, loved the vegetable fried dumplings

Delicious food. The Korean fried chicken was sticky, crunchy and super tasty.

Sweet potato fried on point, not sure about the veg dumplings though

Maybe it's not my thing but the chicken was kinda of tough, though the dumplings are super.. It took an age 20 mins wait to be served though not that busy. Priced reasonably you can glimpse food being prepped which looks well clean, spotless. A nice chilled atmosphere.

Went here 2 weeks ago for the first time. They forgot our (and also our next table) drinks and had to ask for it because the food came first.... the food was expensive because the "sharing" platters you get is really small. Can't believe how expensive the tofu soup is, definitely not worth it. Taste is also not Korean. Won't come back..

Having been really impressed on a previous visit I chose Dangun for meal with my son. The Korean Fried Chicken was lukewarm and very chewy and not freshly cooked. The fried cauliflower was inedible though. Under the batter it had been fried until black and carbonised. At least they offered not to charge me for it. It was busy so maybe they’ve become a bit complacent or the chef was off that night. Pity.

We ordered Beef Bulgogi but the taste was horrible. Very blunt no taste and no sauce very dry and Im sure its not authentic Korean bulgogi. Im not sure if I will still comeback very disappointed in my first experienced.

Fried chicken was dry, I won't be returning here.

Lovely small business. Bit of a limited menu, but what is on it, is good. Will go back to support this business in the future.

Food lacked flavor and place wasn’t clean at all. Seems like from the photos on the wall there used to be a Korean chef.. shame as the photos looked so good.

Food is decent but eating at Danguns is becoming more unpleasant. 6pm Friday and a member of staff sat at a table right by front of house, in uniform, with his feet up and a half eaten smelly Domino's pizza in front of him, not a care in the world. Dirty menu too. Time before that, my food was served but table was dirty and sticky, I asked for it to be cleaned , and the guy sprayed cleaning solution everywhere including on my food, then knocked my bowl of rice off the table. Not pleasant.

Had a delicious lunch here on Sunday. Was warm enough to sit outside & the waiter set up a table for us. For the three of us we ordered Chicken Dumplings, Bulgogi, 2 x Korean Fried Chicken both sauces, Korean Fried Cauliflower & some rice on the side. Our order didn't take long to come & was piping hot. The food was delicious especially the Korean Fried Chicken with spicy sauce.
