Been meaning to try the hype at this restaurant since it's tucked away in Burnaby…read more Finally had the opportunity during family day long weekend. Mothers treat Due to getting manicure nails done i shyed away from trying their marinated crabs and fried chicken. Butttt i did get to try their beef tartare, unfortunately it wasn't as amazing as i hoped it was BUT aesthetics 10/10. I would have preferred for the pear to be more finely sliced instead of it being such big chunks. The dish was missing a bit of flavour. You'll know once you try. There definitely was a generous amount of beef though i do admit. Side dishes did not disappoint! Cheese corn is always a hit almost at any korean place ive been to so im very glad this dish was standard good! I would have loved the tteokboki a bit more but the rice cakes weren't as bouncy and chewy as i would like and the flavour wasn't like sunk into it. The dish was definitely spicy and there wasn't all that much cheese either. I think the stir fried chicken udon was my fave . The menu overall had a good selection and prices were pretty standard, portions are pretty big so be mindful and can easily share. Decor was cute, washroom was clean. Parking is pretty manageable. Service was 10/10. They take all payments. Restaurant is pretty small so i highly recommend you make resos if you know in advance you want to go. I plan on revisiting and trying some fried chicken next time with a soju flight.

There are three side dishes to choose from. Do not try the pork belly. The pork belly was super dry and not recommended. Both the chicken bulgogi and beef bulgogi are super tasty. We came here during lunch time and it was pretty empty. They have all you can eat pork special on weekdays for $29.95. That is not a bad deal if you like pork. Free parking at the plaza. I really like how they have the Ipad and bell at each table. It is easier to get a hold of a staff if needed.

We were a table of 6 people. We each ordered the lunch special. I got the plain tofu beef soup with rice. It was quite tasty. However, I did find the portion size somewhat small. Parking is hit and miss. There are only a few parking spots in front of the restaurant. There are plenty of parking spots on the street. Service was ok. Not the best but passable.

This is my third time coming to DooBoo. I was introduced to this place by my Korean friend. I have…read morenever had soft tofu soup before. But this has become my absolute favorite. I often crave sundubu and DooBoo comes to my rescue. The soup is perfectly spiced. The medium can be quite spicy, so go for mild and add gochujang if you need to up the spice level. The service is prompt and nice - no fuss! I have also tried their japchae. While it's pretty good, it's a tad bit on the expensive side. Their pancakes are pretty delectable too. I like their stone bibimbab. It is pretty good in taste with great quantity for the price.

The japchae barely had meat in it and was 90% noodle. The seafood pancake barely had seafood in it with it mostly being imitation crab and batter. I also made a reservation for my group a couple of days ago but they didn't write it on the daily calendar (only on their phone notes?) so I had to wait for a table as they didn't have one ready. Service was really lacking with us needing to ask multiple times for more banchan and to see where our food was. Take out containers are $0.35 as well

A person is constantly cooking and if he leaves at all, he checks back to make sure food is cooked well and there's enough. Ordered the Family Combo for 4 plus shrimp and scallops. Meats are fresh and well marinated. Soybean Paste Stew and Fluffy Steamed Egg with Cheese were good dishes to complement the meats. We got a few complimentary dishes as well. Thank you so much for the bulgogi and tteokbokki. The side dishes are g! They mostly serve grilled items. Was looking for seafood pancake for one of our guests who doesn't eat meat but it's not on the menu. Love the apron they provide to avoid splatters! Such a good idea.

We stumbled upon Han Sang Original Korean Restaurant after learning Ribs and Chicken is permanently…read moreclosed. Han Sang is a newish joint started November 2023. Told by the wait staff, they haven't pick up steam. While perusing the menu noticed the alcohol section is crossed out?!? We ordered couple of typical dishes; Stir-fried Beef Bulgogi, Kalbi-Tang Beef Stew and Kimchi Pancakes. Price point is very reasonable. At more established joints like Hanwoori which is in the neighborhood would be 20-30% more. Friendly server who appears very helpful and cheerful. Food was delicious. Recommend this. Would come again if in the neighborhood.

Korean place on Edmonds between Kingsway and Canada Way…read more Parking is available in the strip mall lot. Also lots of street parking in the area. The place is bare bones. Feel a bit like a warehouse, with the metal frames in the ceiling. Staff were friendly and helpful. Banchan - 3 types. Kimchi, pickled turnip, bean sprouts in sauce. Decent. Tteokbokki - rice cakes in sweet spicy sauce. Came with some slices of pickled vegetables and a boiled egg. Not mushy or anything. Fried chicken - nice and crispy. This place actually beats out several other (dedicated) Korean fried chicken places. Special mention. Beef bulgogi - skillet is smaller than normal. Friends and I were disappointed. Taste was fine though. Round platter - came with 6 rice balls (some seaweed and pickled vegetables mixed inside), 5 pieces of what looked like some sort of bean curd or egg cake, and some cheesy meat (pork?) mix inside. Overall my friends and I were happy, other than the small bulgogi platter. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, though there are other options (including Korean food) in the area.

We were actually supposed to go for a different AYCE dinner but heard that there was a ridiculously…read morelong line for it cuz of a special deal that was being offered and so decided to change our dinner plans. This is how we ended up at Secret Garden Korean Fusion Buffet & Grill. I'd been wanting to try this place for quite awhile anyways, so...really glad ended up coming here instead. If you're Vegetarian, this is probably not a good place for you to come. If you're Pescatarian however, then there's still plenty of food for you to eat. Thankfully, I am the latter; so even though I couldn't eat any of the meats like chicken, pork or beef...there was still lots of food for me to eat and I walked out very, very, very full! We were impressed with the selection here. So much variety. Off the top of my head: Seafood pancake, Kimchi pancake, Japchae, Vegetable Fried Rice, Kimchi Fried Rice, Kimbap, Deep fried Squid, Takoyaki, Tuna Mayo Inari, Vegetable Fritters, Tofu, Fish Katsu, Fried Flounder, Kimchi, Takoyaki, Potato, and Pickled Radish are just a few of the items I piled on to my plate. There was drink dispenser that had some kind of Cinnamon ginger drink in it. I took that as my beverage. It had a very nice flavor but very sweet so I would recommend filling your glass about halfway, and then pouring in plain water to fill the second half of the glass. My favorite part was dessert. They have a machine that dispenses Korean Bingsu! There's other stuff too like fruit, cookies, cake squares and ice cream. All I wanted though was the Bingsu. The machine has instructions for how to turn it on and dispense the shaved ice. To the left of the machine are a few toppings for the shaved ice. Not a lot of toppings, but you really don't need much. They offer shreddies, red bean, chocolate syrup, condensed milk and strawberry jam for the toppings. Such a yummy and refreshing way to end the meal!
