Another one of those Yelp finds, needed a place, didn't know where to go, this one was glaring at me, so I took my wife in tow and went. This one on the outside is odd, as it is attached to a motel, and yes.... the parking is on the motel side. The main door to the restaurant is also next to the motel, and when you come in it's got this newage wooden feel, and you know you are here. We saw many seasonal food pictures up of things that are not on the menu, yet for the first night we went for the menu and ordered a pork rib dish and also their steamed egg. When the banchan came, I knew we were in for a great meal. There is this mixed salad with some sort of bean sauce they use as salad sauce.... this dish alone was a solid win. All the banchan was good, and our server would come by and asked if we needed any more. When the ribs came they were on a hot plate, just sizzling away with the white onions under the meat just caramalizing hard waiting for you to get in there and eat everything. A few minutes later the steamed egg came in a stone bowl, and our server used a spoon to separate the sides of the egg from the bowl, the steam was intense, it was a cold night, this was exactly what we needed and wanted for a meal. There was a lot of food, and we had to pack most of it to go, and I thanked our server, and asked him if we were to come back.... what would you recommend, and he pointed to the chicken noodle soup they only do for winter.... you can guess what we ordered the following day... and yes we came back for lunch. The chicken noodle soup was amazingly deep, and it is cliche to say, but very homey, comforting, clean, hearty, it had it all.... we were as happy as we were the day before, and I can't wait to come back to Nanaimo and come back to this place. Also.. if you like popular Korean-pop music.. don't worry you'll listen to it on the loop as I think I heard APT three times!

Best food in Nanaimo!…read more I dined in on my lunch break having seen the good reviews online. I was not disappointed! The quiet establishment (on Friday around 2:00) had a pleasant and clean atmosphere with some K-Pop music playing on a TV situated in a corner. The menu is clear and easy to order from. If you struggle with pronunciations, each order has a corresponding number and an image of each dish. I ordered the SO BULGOGI DEOP-BAP. It was phenomenal! The beef and rice were cooked perfectly had a slight sweetness to it, the kimchi had a perfect spiciness, the bean sprouts and cabbage were fresh, and the romaine lettuce with the chili dressing was delicious and sweet. In addition to the atmosphere and the food, the prices I considered very fair for the quality and quantity of the food. Lastly, the service was good. This will definitely be one of my #1 spots to eat on Vancouver Island! I am so pleased to have finally been introduced to this culinary gem. Incredible!
