Take out review!…read more Ordered a mixed combo of fried chicken, one spicy and one sweet. The gochuchang is strong in the spicy one. It had ok flavor. The sauces were slightly on the sweeter side. The chicken for the most part was good. There were a lot of pieces with floury bits - no meat. But I can't complain. Ordered kimbap as well. It's freshly made - it was still warm when it was delivered. The roll breaks apart as you grab it. Pretty good on account of not having another place to compare it to in Waterloo. Kind of pricey for what you get.

Ordered the Soon Tofu with kimchi as well as the injeolmi bingsu…read more The tofu was a comforting dish for a chilly day. Had an ample amount of tofu topped with a percectly cooked egg. Plenty of side dish options were provided, however, I wish they would have provided refills as most other korean places do. The bingsu was subtly sweet, just the perfect amount but not enough injeolmi flavour. Mochi had the perfect fluffy texture that complemented the dessert very well. Service was pretty poor as no one came to check up on us or helped us with getting a refill on our water jug. Overall, pretty good considering how cheap the food was!

Food: The food is fine--fried chicken, corn, and rice cakes. The chicken was hot and fresh, and the…read moreportions were good. If you can't eat one of these things, this isn't the place for you. Atmosphere: It was freezing when the door opened, but otherwise fine. There's limited seating, but enough. However, if you're seated near loud students, it's hard to have a conversation, which makes it less enjoyable for families or non-students. Service: I don't blame the servers; I blame management for not empowering them to handle issues. The host was pleasant, and we were seated quickly. We had to ask for a paper menu, but that wasn't a big deal. The problems started when a server brought our food and spilled sticky garlic sauce all over me. She seemed confused at first, and my wife had to point it out. Instead of helping, she brought back just a few napkins and a wet paper towel. The sauce soaked through my shirt, stained my jeans, and dripped onto the table and floor. I went to the washroom to clean up, but my shirt was ruined, and I had to wear my winter coat zipped up for the rest of the meal. When I returned, the mess was still on the table, bench, and floor. I had to clean most of it myself before asking staff to wipe it properly. By the time I could eat, my food was cold, and I was sticky and frustrated. The staff apologized and offered to waive the $11 appetizer, but the ruined shirt, stained jeans, and overall experience weren't addressed. When I asked for the bill, it took 15 minutes to arrive, and I had to remind them to bring a takeout container. I paid the bill without saying anything. But then they asked how they could make it right, and I told them the scope of the issue and what they could do, but they seemed clueless and offered nothing of real value. Final thoughts: My $50 shirt was trashed, I spent $6 on laundry, and my night was ruined. Management needs to train staff to handle mistakes properly--it would cost less than the damage to customer experience. The excuse that they are just part timers and don't know what to do isn't a valid excuse. Empower your employees to make a mistake right. And when they told me how they could make it right, I just asked for my money back. I'd not have left this review if they had done that. Oh, and the parking is terrible.

Korean BBQ restaurant is a family owned and ran eatery in the downtown area of Kitchener. This…read morequaint establishment is clean and friendly. When you walk in you're warmly greeted with a smile. The menu has great options while not being overwhelming. During a trip to Kitchener I frequented this restaurant 3 days in a row, while being remembered by the owners each time, because of how amazing the food was. I tried multiple dishes each day and was truly blown away but my favorite was the soondubu/tofu stew. The jjajangmyun, jjamppong, shrimp fried rice, and tteobokki are all fantastic and I highly recommend. A friend had the pork belly and she said it was amazing. I will have to find an excuse one day to visit Kitchener again because of this spot. Wishing the best to the owners and their family. This place is truly a GEM.

Let's start with the good. Huuuuge Boa's! Easily the biggest I've ever seen. The bun is as good as they come, pillowy soft, yet strong enough to hold all of the ingredients that make up these massive sandwiches. Now as far as the food itself, well, disappointing to say the least. I tried the chicken katsu, crackle belly, and Seoul beef. All were technically flawed in various ways. The chicken katsu was the more enjoyable of the bunch, great on breading and flavor, but the chicken itself was tough and on dry side. The amount of beef in the Seoul beef is beyond generous, and actually tasty. But the kimchi does absolutely nothing to add to this. As far as the crackle belly? My oh my. Pork belly is my thing. I've had more than I could count. None as bad as this. The name crackle implies crispy. This cut of pork was so tough and overcooked with little to no fat, that i started to question if it was even ever from the belly itself. Surely this could not be the norm at boa sandwich bar. Maybe a bad day at the office? I would certainly hope so, because even with mild expectations, Bao sandwich bar falls waaaay short.

We were in Waterloo for the day and looking for a spot to eat for lunch. We came across this Kimbap…read morestore with high reviews so we had to try! The shop inside is small but had some seating if you wanted to dine in. Staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile upon entering, very welcoming! You would order at the counter and I think you pick up your food as well, we didn't dine in so I'm not sure if they do table service. The Kimbap is made fresh to order so it took them 10-15 minutes to make our order. We had ordered 4 Kimbaps and a bulgogi cup bowl dish. The cup was a bit small for the price we paid ($17 before tax/tip) but the Kimbap turned out to be very large and filling ($13-$14 each before tax/tip for the tuna and bulgogi kimbaps). Although the Kimbap was large and colourful with a lot of nice ingredients, we found a few pieces kept breaking when we were trying to pick it up to eat. It didn't hold together as nice so it made the experience a little messy with the ingredients dropping out. For the price and the Kimbap not holding together well, I'm not sure if I would come back as often. I rather get it at H-Mart for cheaper or make it myself at home. The prices are before tax and tip so it can get expensive for only 10 large pieces of Kimbap. It's worth giving the spot a try though! The Kimbap did taste pretty good and staff are friendly. They do have other items as well such as the egg sando etc.
