Korean street food brand Bunsik has opened its seventh restaurant in the UK in London’s Chinatown.

The brand – which is known for its viral Korean corn dogs and strong social media presence – has taken a 900 sq ft unit at 31 Wardour Street.

Since launching in 2021, Bunsik has gained a loyal following through online engagement, racking up over one million likes on TikTok. The new restaurant joins the brand’s other locations in central London and Manchester, with Bunsik set to continue its expansion across the UK via franchise opportunities in 2025.

Bunsik’s menu at its Chinatown London location will include items such as the ramyun corn dog, fried kimbap, cup bap, and ddukbokki, as well as halal and vegetarian options.

Jae Cho, founder of Bunsik, said, “Opening in Chinatown is a significant milestone for us. The area’s cultural vibrancy is the perfect setting to showcase our evolving brand and menu.”
