"It's totally changed. I understand ownership changes, but quality shouldn't have to if you are in the restaurant business. Unfortunately probably my last time there for a while. Ordered 1 meal, pic included, and paid $30+ for a piece of goat and soupy fufu... I wanted to give it a shot and not complain. The pepper soup was bland and i asked for hot pepper and they gave some generic hot sauce from giant. Im used to african restaurants having good peppa, the goat had a nice texture and I barely could touch the fufu. Not worth the price imo."

"In July 2022, we as a party of three had the ecowas okra soup, the egusi, chicken yassa with jollof rice, and kumasi nkatikwan. It was my second time visiting Bukom, after the first time going in September 2019. In comparison to back in 2019, depending on the specific dishes, the nkatikwan was lacking spices while the rest of the dishes were filled with spices. Not sure if it was a one-time thing, but it was still pretty good. Atmospherically, it was evident that the place was full of rich cultural elements, including paintings, music, and the overall style. We did not manage to have any fufu since they were out, so we had pounded yam instead. But in 2019 we have had fufu and it was simply amazing. I think for lots of people, this place could be a hit or miss. But when it hits, it definitely hits, so I would recommend going multiple times to ensure you have your good experience, because this place is very authentic from every aspect and is worth going multiple times."

"We went here while visiting the DC area and it was my first time trying African food. We went for lunch as soon as they opened. They were just getting set but welcomed us in. Staff were professional but not necessarily friendly. It was rare to see them smile but they were helpful in answering our questions. Place is decent. Clean bathrooms as well. Now onto the food. We enjoyed our appetizers more than the meal. Beef suya and goat pepper soup is a must try. We also got red snapper, egusi, mama wings and fried plantains. All good food but not sure I got a wow factor. Slowly more people started coming in a the vibe was more homey. Drinks were served in a small cup but definitely packed a punch. I recommend the Agege Slammer. Parking can be difficult as it's on a busy main road so give yourself time to park. We will visit again if in the area."

"The restaurant is large and beautifully set up. It has a back area and an upstair. The food is good. I didn't quite like the plainness of the okra soup but the flavor was rich. The take out dish was so tasty. The chicken had a good flavor and the rice was delicious. The young server was also good and attentive. I didn't get his name. I also enjoyed the music selection."

"I preface this review to say Bukom used to be one of my favorite West African restaurants in the city, and I had great experiences under the previous owners/management. Had my birthday dinner here recently thinking it would be another great experience - Unfortunately, I will not be going back. Under new management, many things have changed, including the former recipes. Barely any of the food had any flavor and in particular the Egusi soup I ordered smelled and tasted off, like it had been sitting out for a while. My party was given plastic silverware and overall the service was very slow as we waited long to be served our main meals. I would recommend calling in advance to check opening hours too because the restaurant opened late, after 7pm on a Saturday. Not worth the money, time, or tastebuds especially during a celebratory moment. I miss the old Bukom and really hope these issues can be addressed quickly by new management."
