  • christianholz reviewIf you like live reggae music, a fun atmosphere, and delicious food, the Bukom is the place to be. The Fish Pepper Soup is incredible, and the fish entrees are also quite tasty. You get a lot of `bang for your buck`, as the entrees are all below $13. And the owner makes a MEAN French Martini!! It's one of my favorite restaurants ANYWHERE.

  • Jonathan H.Try the Peanut Chicken with Fufu, if you are really starving. The stewed meat has a pleasant edginess. Try the goat if you are feeling adventurous.
