Bunsik offers a taste of Korea's vibrant street food culture here in the UK
Bunsik, a fast-growing Korean street food brand, is redefining the casual dining experience with its modern take on Korea’s beloved comfort foods.
The budget-friendly QSR brand was founded by Jae Cho who was keen to replicate the street food he enjoyed eating when growing up in Korea.
Bunsik offers mostly grab-and-go Korean street food options like corndogs, ddukbokki, and kimbap. It also offers bowls like cup bap and bibimbap, a dish served with rice. The brand also sells Korean-style fried chicken, burgers, nuggets, and bubble tea, and has recently introduced vegetarian options. All the food is prepared and cooked fresh within minutes, ensuring fast service and high-quality, unique products.
What sets Bunsik apart is its ability to attract a diverse customer base - from students and young professionals to families seeking quick, tasty meals.
Bunsik has 8 stores operating - Leicester Square, Embankment, Camden, Manchester, Westfield Stratford, Earl’s Court, Chinatown and Bristol.
Franchise Opportunity
Due the demand for Korean street food from across the UK and Europe, Bunsik is now franchising and has opened their first franchised store in Bristol.
The Bristol store was opened by ex-multi-unit Subway operator Will Bray:
“I’m thrilled to be the first Bunsik franchisee. From our very first meeting, I knew this was a brand I wanted to be part of as it had everything I was looking for in a franchise. What stood out most was the sense of being part of a family and a shared purpose and passion for growing the brand. I am excited about being on this journey with the team at Bunsik.”
Bunsik is a simple, highly profitable QSR with a new, high-demand menu featuring proven products worldwide.
What sets Bunsik apart from other Korean street food restaurants, is that they’ve created a fun, vibrant experience for customers. And to ensure brand visibility, Bunsik is tapping into TikTok and Instagram content to attract consumer interest and foot traffic. Its TikTok account boasts around 19,000 followers whilst its Instagram account has 31,000 followers.
Technology and kitchen equipment play a pivotal role in driving their franchise expansion. Bunsik has proactively adapted to digital transformation by expanding its delivery services and introducing online ordering systems.
The initial investment varies depending on location and store size, but Bunsik offers scalable options for single-unit or multi-unit ownership. With competitive franchise fees, high profit margins, and growing brand recognition, Bunsik is an appealing venture for both first-time business owners and seasoned investors.
By joining the Bunsik family, franchise partners become part of a dynamic global movement celebrating Korean street food culture. With its strong operational foundation, bold flavors, and passionate community of fans, Bunsik is more than just a restaurant - it’s an exciting business opportunity with long-term potential in the thriving international food industry.
