The restaurant is small but it wasn't too busy when we got there at 6pm. The food was good as usual. The Gamjatang pork bone soup was meaty and rich broth. You are able to ask for less spicy soup. The kalbi ribs were good but would have liked a better sear on the ribs. The donkatsu was crispy and you can add your katsu sauce from a bottle. Overall a great dinner they do charge automatic service charge for larger groups.

I love the flavours and texture of Korean Fried Chicken. It's so crispy and delicious! We went to…read morethe new location of Ban Ban in Oshawa on opening day to enjoy a delicious meal. We ordered two types of their fried chicken - K-Old School, and Soy Garlic. They were both super crispy and delicious. The Soy Garlic chicken was tossed in a sauce that was a bit savoury and spicy. This was good fried chicken! Yummy! In addition to the chicken, we also had some really good Onion Rings and their Corn Cheese. Both were really good. To finish our meal, we had the Ube Latte and Pistachio Silvanas. These delicious treats were the perfect finish to a good meal! If you like crispy fried chicken, you'll love the food at this place. It's all cooked fresh when ordered, for the best texture. Give them a try!

We had enjoyed Ban Ban at their Ajax location previously, and wanted to support them on their…read morenewest location in Oshawa. We got the Special Ban Ban (any 2 flavours) in: K-Old School and Soy Garlic. The K-Old School was advertised to be super crispy, unfortunately the breast piece that I got was not that crispy. My family and friend dining with us all said their pieces were indeed very crispy! I guess it depends on which piece and how evenly coated the batter is. The onion rings and cheese corn were ok. We originally wanted to get the Kids meal for my 4yo, but it wasn't available yet. My husband also ordered a chibap but it was forgotten, it was late as the wait time for the food was quite long as the staff get used to peak meal times, so we didn't ask/remind; but it was not on the bill at the end. The Tito Parley's Silvanas were frozen solid, but lacking on their iconic crisp wafer.

The side dishes were not very flavourful either - bean sprouts, potatoes all were very bland. Kimchi was alright. Seafood tofu soup was bland as well - not spicy at all, not sure if they were trying to adapt the flavours to local tastes? Sweet and sour pork was very fresh but not enough sauce. The service from the lady at the counter wasn't great. She barely spoke to us or acknowledged us. Also did not appreciate that she seemed impatient when waiting on us to order and handing us the bill before we asked despite there not being anyone else in the restaurant. Overall, would not return. They currently offer a free drink with a google review. Friend and I both had stomachaches after eating here, so be a little careful. This meal was the first time we saw each other in several months so, this was the only common/overlapping meal we shared.

Since this was the new restaurant I had never been to before, so I would like to try the beef soup as well. And my hubby wanted to have the seafood pancake. The food came fast one by one. I really loved their Apps, all little dishes, but they all Korean famous Appetizers. They were allowed to be refilled if customer ordered good enough dishes. The beef tofu soup was really small, not the traditional soup that we knew. And the seafood pancake was big enough, but too much flour and green onions.

Their delicious KamJaTang Jeongol, aka Korean Pork Bone Soup, and their BBQ Pork Chops, are perfect for warming you up. Dining with my aunt and uncle, we had the large version of the soup, served in a big pot on a burner at the table. It was loaded with lots of meat, potatoes, vegetables, and tons of flavour. As good as it was, it was more than we could finish so they topped up the soup and we took home the leftovers. The pork chops were served on a sizzling platter, nice and hot. It was delicious! We barely managed to finish this one. Both dishes were perfect for the cold weather, and included rice and traditional side dishes - kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radishes, and pickled cucumbers.

Food was hot and fresh, big portions, great quality and very friendly customer service. One thing to note, if you're looking for the BanBan style Korean fried chicken, this really is not it. The chicken they have is still very good, but it is not sauce coated (they provide dips instead) and the dip flavors are limited. But other than that, fantastic place to go for Korean food. Nice atmosphere, easy parking, right next to Costco if you want to do some shopping afterward.

We had their Pork Bone Soup, Korean Fried Chicken, and Fried Tofu. Some of the usual side dishes were included - kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radish, glass noodles, and a bowl of purple rice. The pork bone soup was pretty good, with lots of meaty pieces and a rich broth. The tofu was flavourful but a bit spicy for my friend. The chicken was very tasty, especially with the honey garlic dipping sauce included. Overall, we enjoyed the food and found it all very reasonably priced, with good portions, especially the chicken. Our server was very polite and friendly. This was a good meal!
