"My friend and I are relatively new to the DC area and we love trying new foods and cuisines. I was looking for a west African restaurant and Bukom was one of the search results that came up. I had my heart set on trying fufu so I was super excited. The service at Bukom was great! The waitress who took our order was very nice and even the bar tender and another employee came by to check on us. (They make strong drinks but I'm not complaining :D) We ordered the wings to start and they were juicy, tender, and crispy on the outside. The sauce that came with it was tangy and a little sweet so it was a nice flavor combo. Next, we split a main dish which was the oxtail and of course got it with fufu. OH MY GOSH! The oxtail was so tender and fell right off the bone and that sauce was delicious. The fufu was everything I expected and more! For those who have never had it, the consistency reminds me of gnocchi except you tear it apart from a big ball and use it to sop up the sauce. I could eat that all day! Anytime I'm looking for west African food I know where I'm eating! Next I want to try the peanut soup."
