Bul (불) means fire in Korean—the foundation of Korean cooking—and we use open flames, deep braises, premium proteins, bold sauces, and intentional plating to create layered dishes rooted in tradition and shaped by modern technique. Founded in Calgary, we offer a reimagined take on Korean comfort food with restraint, balance, and bold intention.We create a curated modern dining experience where Korean culinary heritage meets contemporary design. From the warmth of heat and wood to the contrast of intensity and subtlety, our approach is focused on refined Korean-inspired cuisine, thoughtful service, and dishes that bring tradition and reinvention together.","urls":{"menu":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/5ERwGRvRnaOv","about":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/5ERwGRvRnaOv/about","reservations":"https://www.opentable.ca/r/bul-dining-room-and-bar-calgary","website":"https://bul-canada.ca/","knowledge":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/5ERwGRvRnaOv/knowledge.json","llms_txt":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/5ERwGRvRnaOv/llms.txt"},"cuisines":["korean","japanese","sushi","asian fusion"],"priceLevel":null,"location":{"address":"1244 17 Ave SW, Calgary, AB T2T 0B8, Canada","city":"Calgary","country":"Canada","geo":null},"contact":{"phone":null,"whatsapp":null,"website":"https://bul-canada.ca/"},"hours":{"mon":{"open":"17:00","close":"22:00"},"tue":{"open":"17:00","close":"22:00"},"wed":{"open":"17:00","close":"22:00"},"thu":{"open":"17:00","close":"22:00"},"fri":{"open":"11:00","close":"00:00"},"sat":{"open":"11:00","close":"00:00"},"sun":{"open":"11:00","close":"22:00"}},"rating":{"average":4.9,"count":1190,"source":"google"},"menu":{"url":"https://service.scan2dine.io/p/5ERwGRvRnaOv","currency":"CAD","categories":[{"name":"Specials Menu","items":[{"name":"Nakji Spicy Rice Bowl","description":"Spicy octopus bibimbap.","priceCents":2800,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["octopus","rice"],"imageUrl":"https://rsinf001prodscmed.blob.core.windows.net/scan2dine-prod-tenant-add54b73-94dc-4e1d-8cb9-a8af486d4e46/menu-items/imported/mirror-1784895273219-965968479ddd57e8.jpg"},{"name":"Angus AAA Katsu","description":"Includes rice, assorted side dishes, and vegetables.","priceCents":2500,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["Angus AAA beef","rice","assorted side dishes","vegetables"],"imageUrl":"https://rsinf001prodscmed.blob.core.windows.net/scan2dine-prod-tenant-add54b73-94dc-4e1d-8cb9-a8af486d4e46/menu-items/imported/mirror-1784895273510-d498da187b81dcf3.jpg"},{"name":"Special Plate – Ssam Bap","description":"Grilled meat with lettuce wraps, served with rice, fresh lettuce, and assorted side dishes.","priceCents":2500,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["grilled meat","rice","lettuce","assorted side dishes"],"imageUrl":"https://rsinf001prodscmed.blob.core.windows.net/scan2dine-prod-tenant-add54b73-94dc-4e1d-8cb9-a8af486d4e46/menu-items/imported/mirror-1784895274543-36af74c6554c912a.jpg"},{"name":"Sweet Chili Shrimp Dim Sum","description":"Shrimp dim sum with a sweet chili glaze.","priceCents":1800,"currency":"CAD","vegan":false,"available":true,"ingredients":["shrimp","sweet chili glaze"],"imageUrl":"https://rsinf001prodscmed.blob.core.windows.net/scan2dine-prod-tenant-add54b73-94dc-4e1d-8cb9-a8af486d4e46/menu-items/imported/mirror-1784895276161-9ea276c823b16768.jpg"}]},{"name":"Chef’s Signature Tasting Course","items":[{"name":"Chef’s Signature Tasting Course – 90","description":"An exquisite culinary journey featuring a selection of the chef’s signature creations and seasonal ingredients.
