Came here on a rainy day. They offered either water or barley tea. I love barley tea, and it was…read morevery comforting during the dreary weather. We were quite hungry, and asked for advice regarding sizes, and were advised to order the following for 2: -Pork Tang Su Yuk (Large: 39.00$): Comes served with a thick, syrupy, sweet and sour sauce on the side. The sauce contains some fresh produce such as cabbage and onions, which is quite nice and refreshing, and cuts through the sauce, providing a different flavour in addition to the fried umami of the pork. I appreciate that the sauce comes served on the side, because I like my food CrUnCHy -Ja Jang Myun (Regular: 13.50$): It was tasty, very onion forward (which I LOVE). My only comment was that I was expecting the sauce to have little pieces of pork in it, and I personally did not detect any, which translated to a bit of a superfluous sauce. Afterwards I checked the menu, and it does say that there is minced pork in the sauce, so I'm not sure... This was more than enough food for 2 people (we got leftovers to take home), and I think the perfect amount of food for 3. I appreciate good portion sizes. Additionally, they served yellow radish, and kimchi radish cubes with it, and had vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper powder at every table. The server was kind, the vibes were quaint, family-owned, "mom and pop" hole in the wall, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

Only went to this restaurant one other time but remembered loving the food here, so decided to come…read moreback here again. Especially when I saw Omurice on the menu. I was pretty sure that my daughter would jump at the chance to have Omurice and I was absolutely right about it! I'm not sure if they normally use any kind of meat or meat broth in their Omurice. It's not listed on the menu, so I inquired about making the dish Vegetarian. The waitress asked if I was OK with egg. Seems like a lot of people don't really understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. If I were asking for a vegan dish...well there's just no way I could eat the dish as the egg is the "Omu" part of the dish and therefore the main attraction. I got the point across though that I just didn't want any chunks of meat or meat broth used in the dish. (It was my daughter's dish mainly but I wanted to try it, and she's fine with eating vegetarian foods even though she does still eat meat.) It was a really yummy Omurice and I think we may have just found a new favourite of ours on the North Shore! I ordered the same vegetarian Jab Chae Rice that I ordered last time and it was just as good as I remembered it. It really puzzles me though that this dish is listed under the Rice section. It does come with a bowl of white rice but it's a freakin huge platter of noodles and the noodles are really the main star of the dish...not the rice! Grandma ordered the Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice which is supposed to be a Seafood fried rice with vegetables and pork in black bean sauce, topped with a fried egg. She wasn't too impressed with this dish and honestly...I guess I can't really blame her for it. In my last review I wrote that you can't really go wrong with any dish on this menu. I take that back now. I think this is probably the first dish we've tried here that was less than stellar. There was a lot of rice in the dish, and barely any seafood in the rice. The black bean sauce was...nothing to write home about? Other than the underwhelming Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice though, I still give this place a thumbs up and would still highly recommend coming here. Lots of restaurants have hit and miss dishes. This place still serves some great food overall.

And, their fried chicken is some of the better ones we've tried. Ironically, Chicko Chicken is right next door. Prices are very reasonable despite the more affluent neighborhood. Also, service is prompt, friendly and efficient. This restaurant might be difficult to get seating for parties larger than 6 without reservations. We like sitting in the crescent-shaped booths, which can only fit 5-6 people. They also serve a variety of beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). And, it appears that lunch-time might be the best time to come since they have lunch specials. We have not had a chance to come during lunch, but we will try the next time we are nearby.

We waited about 10 mins for a table on a weekend around 12:30pm. #1- blood sausage and organ soup: you can choose the spice level for this one and we went with mild. Probably could go for medium next time. It came bubbling hot and was served with rice. The soup was flavourful and comforting. The blood sausage was wrapped with an intestine which is something I haven't had before. So this was unique. The organ meats were tender as well. Seafood pancake: on the pricier side but I can see why. It was served piping hot and super crisp. It had plenty of seafood and even glass noodles inside. Again, a unique touch. The pancake was not sought at all and the seafood inside was tender. Banchan: kimchi radish was solid and refreshing. The fishcakes were marinated in something different than other places and was tender. Very delicious! The last banchan I'm not sure what it's called but it's also kind of a pickled onion and veg sort of thing. Overall, a really good meal and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and craving something comforting. Service was good and food came out quick.

They do a great job with both takeout and dine-in, but we especially suggest eating in if you're with friends or family. The star of our meal was definitely the Korean Fried Chicken Platter. The presentation alone was impressive, arriving in four different flavours: Original, Honey Garlic, Sweet & Spicy, and Cheeseling. It also comes with fries, cabbage salad, and sweet corn, making it feel like a complete feast. The portions are generous, and we think it's perfect for sharing with four or more people. It's a fun dish to order because everyone can try a different flavour and pick their favourite. Beyond the fried chicken, we also enjoyed the Beef Kimbap, which was fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying. Another must-order is the Cold Spicy Buckwheat Noodles. The noodles were refreshing with just the right amount of spice, making them an excellent choice during Vancouver's warmer weather. The staff were friendly, and our food came out quickly, even though the place was busy. It's easy to see why so many people like this neighbourhood spot. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5‍‍‍‍‍ Kids: 4/5 Presentation: 3/5 Parking: Free street parking is available throughout the surrounding neighbourhood. Tips: * Make a reservation if you're planning to dine with a larger group or during peak hours. * Portion sizes are generous, so ordering several dishes to share is a great way to experience more of the menu. * Use the table call bell to get your server's attention; it makes requesting assistance quick and convenient.

We got the kalbi with seafood tofu soup, bulgogi with beef tofu soup and bossam with beef soup. We also got the fried chicken with fries. Honestly for the price the food is okay. The best soup to get is the seafood tofu soup. They put a lot of ingredients in there. The beef tofu soup beef was way too chewy. The bossam was okay but I wouldn't get it again. The Kalbi came with 2 pieces and they were all quite burnt. The bulgogi was too salty and also too chewy. The fried chicken was pretty crunchy and not dry. The fries were okay. Service was fast and good. Overall it's pretty worth the $20 but I wouldn't come again as to me the food was just okay

As it arrived, the portions of the dishes were quite impressive! It was my first time trying cold noodles, and I was surprised by how sweet the soup was. Not a bad sweetness that makes you want to stop drinking after a few sips, but rather a fresh pearl sweetness that makes you want to drink more! I personally couldn't continue with it ice cold, so I heated it up, still very tasty!  Kimchi Fried Rice and the Tofu Pot were also flavorful, but the pork Jokbal, on the other hand, was a bit werid. There was a taste that wasn't soy sauce-like but similar; we found that taste a bit off in our opinions. Especially, after we left it inside the fridge over night, the taste amplified. It could be an alcohol-marinated taste, but not a pleasing one.  We'd love to try this Korean restaurant in person next time and order their BBQ; many have said their BBQ experience is interesting.

To be honest, we were a bit disappointed at what we selected. They are fairly average compared to the numerous korean restaurants across lower mainland. We ordered the beef bulgogi, bossam and kimchi soup. The beef bulgogi was quite oily and it looked more like a onion beef strips than bulgogi. the flavor was just missing The kimchi soup was average. Lots of tofu but missing kimchi. Bossam was decent though. But i think we would appreciate not serving bossam with romain lettuce which made it so hard to wrap the meat. All the regular korean banchan needed to be charged. Our server was good. she was very busy though as she was the only one working that night. Our bill also eas accurate though. we were charged the additional charge of rice with bossam which we did not order and did not arrive. Because my friend and i split the bill, we were charged full excharge price of rice on each of the bill. because the incorrect charge was minimal, we did choose to just pay and did not voice it so we just left.
