It seems like most popular food items would be the cup bowls, but I didn't feel like eating a whole meal at the time lol. I ended up getting a sausage + cheese dog, with garlic mayo. Ordering was easy, although, it felt like it took a long while just to make a Korean corn dog lol. I even ordered a smoothie across the booth and received that first. So service was a bit slow. Upon receiving, the corn dog itself looked kinda small? but the crunch and crispiness of it was actually very nice. The garlic mayo drizzle was also definitely a game changer. The cheese was definitely very cheesy, it was actually pretty good! Quite enjoyable.

I am a big believer in value for food, and I have to say Hankki is just at the cusp of almost a good deal. What makes up for it though is that the food is very delicious! Dining in can be a noisy experience, though they do have a room tucked away from the counter / main dining / entrance. Counter staff are pretty good and I have never had an issue if I have to ask questions, the staff seem knowledgeable about the product the sell. Highly recommend!

(if and when you visit, you'll see what I mean) There wasn't a lot of options for BBQ, which I assumed that's what they're known for.. FOOD: I ordered the BBQ plate and my friends ordered the Yum Yum Chicken (Whole) and Beef Noodle Soup. I really liked the soup! Nothing too special about it but it was good. The chicken was really saucy and filling. Fyi, the size of the chicken wings/drums is big (I totes forgot to take a picture of how massive these chicken are. my bad, y'all)! And I thought the dishes that were included in the BBQ plate was just average. The only thing I enjoyed eating is the Shallot Chicken. It was a tad bit spicy but very good! But overall, I felt like the food could be better in a way, but it was good. I would recommend this place if you're looking for something filling. Not too expensive, and I think the prices are worth it.

Eh. There definitely…read morewasn't enough options. I didn't really see the BBQ part of this restaurant. It's small and kind of cramp. The decor and aesthetics of the place make me feel like a little kid. I wasn't okay with the paper towels being outside of the bathrooms (yuck). They're apparently know for their yum yum chicken, which was okay. It was $25 for 12 pieces but they're huge. Their noodles was also okay, but you either get a beef or kimchi option. The beef was good though! Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back here.

It is just takeout for now, it is too small to do any social distancing, but it was nice and clean and not too busy at 4:00 on a Saturday.

Between 2 of us, we got the soy marinated raw shrimp (sooo delicious), salt & pepper boneless chicken (light, crispy, and juicy), black kimchi stew (not pictured, but rich and spicy), and saero soju (so smooth without the after tang). Everything was amazing and would recommend this place!

Family was craving Korean food after an action packed day. My daughter found Baekban 1988 with…read moregreat reviews and so we decided to try it. It is in the Dragon City Mall at the end corner. There used to be a different Korean place here before that I had gone a few times for lunch awhile back. Now, it's under new ownership. Parking is on the street although they do have a paid parking garage. Also, they don't have their own washroom but they will give you a code to go to go one for the mall. When we came in we were seated right away. They had a good crowd on this Saturday evening. The decor they had old knickknacks on the walls which added to the vibe. What we liked about this place is all the main dishes were on these metal trays with lots of sides around which is where they derive their restaurant name from. My son ordered the White Pork Bone Soup which he enjoyed. Broth was flavourful and he liked the glass noodles. The pork meat was good but hard to get at everything. My daughter and I had the Dak-Galbi (soy garlic). The chicken was so tender and tasty. It also came with a little soup which matched the overall meal. My wife got the Special which was slow-cooked beef short rib soup. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Meat was tender, broth was flavourful. All the meals came with sides which we liked. There was cucumber, salad, garlic potato, kimchi, seaweed salad, bean sprouts, and rice, If the table all gets meal then you get refills on the sides. Note, that it's one refill per side per person. But if a person didn't want a side then you could get their refill. The family really enjoyed their meal. Staff were friendly and explained the dishes when we had questions. We definitely will come back.

This made me laugh cuz i was like is this just a thing now of mimicking retro korean baekban places like Kisa in nyc does. Like was this restaurant inspired by kisa or is this just a thing now? Anyways we were all kind of sus after finding out about this, "give us a five star review you get a free drink" hanky panky but thank god it was perfectly fine bc i brought my korean parents here and they didnt hate it.

The burger is big. Bun is too small for the burger but its ok in this case. It has lettuce and sweet and sour sauce. It's really sweet. Sometimes I like em sweet but there are times I don't. Good thing I'm in the mood for it today. Crispy and freshly cooked. I also liked the fries which is plenty enough for a combo. The place is clean. The staff was friendly and smiling. I heard the owner interviewing applicants and he was emphasizing friendliness and making recommendations to customers. That's really good to hear. Yes I would recommend this place. Theres plenty of parking in the street.

The Banchan/side dishes were enjoyable. Marinated soft boiled egg, cabbage salad, pickled cucumbers, tofu (delicious), kimchi, and pickled radish. Had 8 different cuts of meat and found the galbi, bulgogi and skirt steak to be tasty. Didn't enjoy the pork belly, but I rarely do, and found the spicy pork to be bland. Beef soup was delicious as was the egg casserole. Cheesy corn tasted a lot like canned corn. Wings were cooked perfectly and wished they had more of a kick. They were supposed to be sweet and spicy but I found them too sweet. Complimentary Mango crushed ice was inventively playful and a joy to eat. All of us tried it and thought it was light and not too sweet. Refreshing.

While visiting Calgary for a business trip, I had a sudden hankering for some Korean food…read more Fortunately, Stone Bowl was a quick 10 minute walk away. Upon walking in, I immediately felt like I was transported back to Korea with the seating arrangement, self-help water station (much preferred for people like me that drink a lot of water), the K-pop music playing in the background, the warm welcome from Kim and Sarah, and a genuine taegukgi (Korean flag) from the Korean War (SUPER COOL, see picture). The beef stone bowl was one of the best I have had in North America (no joke) and reminded me a lot of my time in South Korea. The ratio of meat, rice, and vegetables were spot on and the marinade on the meat was so good. The egg was cooked perfectly with some runny yolk. And the cherry on top was the slightly crispy rice on the bottom of the stone bowl. I honestly would have had another bowl if I didn't have to catch a flight. The seaweed soup complimented the stone bowl perfectly. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better traditional Korean meal before my flight. The other thing that makes this restaurant special is the customer service. Kim and Sarah were so welcoming and we even shared some great conversation. I would come back just for them. An employee of a business within the same building came in and you can tell based off their interaction that Kim and Sarah are respected and loved in the community. Thank you Stone Bowl, Kim, and Sarah for giving me a little taste of Korea during my work trip. I will be back!
