    Kimchi fried rice
    Nhi T.

    This lovely restaurant locates in the corner of Lonsdale and 12th W St. My first impression is the friendliness of the owner and staffs. They are so bubbly and welcoming. I ordered deep fried chicken, spicy black bean noodle and kimchi fried rice. The everage price is $12 (for regular size). The portion is huge that I ended up taking home 3 to-go boxes. Kimchi fried rice is ok but the other two dishes are superb, especially the fried chicken. The patio gets crowded by 7PM (store closed at 9PM).

    Every time I'm in North Vancouver, I'll go here. It used to be another Korean restaurant called Ham Ji Bak. This place is comparable to that. Highly recommend. If only they have one closer to Richmond, Vancouver, and Burnaby. Koon Man Du ($13cad) is a deep fried dumplings with pork and vegetables. It has 10pcs. The dumplings were super delicious. It was perfectly fried. Must order item! The pork was flavourful. Ja Jang Myun (R: $8.90cad, L: $11.40cad) is a minced pork and vegetables with black bean sauce on noodles. This is also a must order dish here. The noodles were chewy and the black bean sauce tasted the way I thought it would be. This place has the best JJM so far. Kan Poong Ki (R: $20.50cad, L: $26.50cad) is a deep fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce. For those who can't take spicy, you have been warned. The chicken was also perfectly fried and delicious as well. Overall, I love this place. Too bad it's far from where I live or I would come here regularly. The service is not the best, but I come here for the food only. It may take a few waving for them to actually notice you. The place is fairly clean.

    Classic hole-in-the-wall that's a hidden gem! Seriously good dishes, large portions, and fast service. Make sure to order the sweet and spicy chicken (it's got some heat that kicks in after a bit, but not too harsh). So glad my friend showed me this place! I wish I lived closer to West Van.

    My boyfriend and I were really hungry and was looking for Korean food in North Vancouver. We found Ham Ji Bak and decided we were going to walk up from Lonsdale Quay. That was extremely foolish of us because it was an incline walk, and we were even more hungry and dehydrated than before. The Kanpoongki took a while to cook, but the wait was so worth it. It was so crispy and flavorful! My mapo tofu on the other hand was really disappointing because it was very bland. I'm being generous with my rating because prior to going to Canada for vacation, I became addicted to mapo tofu cooked szechuan style. Ham Ji Bak's mapo tofu was just tamed. We did end up coming back for more kanpoongki, and also got the pork version. The pork version was just as good but we were thrown off by some of the pieces that were undercooked, afterall it is pork.

    Amazing Korean noodles and homemade dishes. The deep fried pork is also the best I've tried recently!

    Not as good as the last time we came. Food was good overall but service fell short somewhat…read more Came here with family. We all ordered our own individual dishes. I just had an Original Gimbap and a Vege Gimbap for myself. It was a hot summer's day so I just didn't feel like ordering hot food. Everyone else ordered hot food though. My daughter has been getting into Tonkatsu at Japanese restaurants for awhile now. So when she saw Chicken Katsu on the menu here, she decided to give that a try. It was just OK for her. No comparison to any of the pork Tonkatsu dishes that she's been having at Japanese restaurants. She still ate it all up though and it was a huge portion. Other dishes on the table included Seafood Noodles, Pork Kimchi Stew, Soft Tofu Stew, Fried Chicken, and Kimchi Fried Rice. My one gripe would be that they took a super long time bringing out my daughter's Chicken Katsu. Everyone else had their food for quite awhile but she sat waiting and waiting for her Chicken Katsu. When we asked about it, they said it was coming soon. But that's what they always say when you ask about something that's taking a long time to come, right? Wondering if they actually completely forgot about it and then put in a rush order at the kitchen when we brought it up.

    Great little neighbourhood spot for Korean food at lunch…read more I stopped by with coworkers and this place is a solid 4/5. Favorite item was the pork belly with kimchi. It's over fire on a hotplate/pan with the meat all around and kimchi in the middle. Perfect with rice or on it's on. The Japchae had plenty of beef and veggies. The potato noodles weren't overcooked and was a great consistency. The seafood tofu soup was favorful with clams and mussels. The raw beef was too frozen and needed to sit out longer. However, the flavor was still good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. The service was excellent and attentive.

The appetizer was the corn salad, fresh diced cucumber made this a hit. The miso soup was loaded with mushrooms which was great, and the broth was delicious. LA Galbi was very well made, tender with some chew, and the charred onions made this dish special, but the Kimchi fried rice was on another level delicious, rice cooked perfectly and mixed with the kimchi made every bite a complete joy.

Ingredients including tofu and meat inside are fresh and flavourful. Portions overall are quite large. The only downside is there are only three complimentary side dishes before the meal. Dishes like the potato ones taste overly sweet, and feel like they weren't prepared with much care. The service is friendly, and the location is decent. However, the restaurant looks a little dated. I'd suggest some renovations or a deeper clean. Overall it's still a good spot. We visited seven months ago, and this is our second time dining here.

    I hadn't heard about Sooda until this August, when I stumbled upon an ad by a foodie influencer on…read moresocial media who tried the restaurant during their 10th anniversary sale. A lot of items were 30% off which is a pretty good discount considering a lot of their mains are $20-$50. Apparently Sooda is really hyped on google reviews and according to some people online, people line up out the door during the dinner rush. I came here on a friday afternoon near opening time at 12 for lunch with friends. There were only a couple tables occupied at the time. My friends ordered a bulgogi platter. According to the menu, it comes with beef marinated in bulgogi sauce served on a hot plate with cheese, green onions, house made egg-rolls, corn, and rice. It's usually a whopping $49 but with the special 30% anniversary discount it was only around $35 so it was definitely worth it. Our food came in a pretty good time in about 12-15 minutes. The melted cheese was SO GOOD. I love cheese but melted mozzarella is delicious. It's divine. The beef was tasty. I like the bulgogi sauce. It was meant to be mixed with the rice and egg rolls. If you just eat them separately, it's gonna be mid because they have little flavor on their own. I like that they included some small side dishes (banchan) to refresh your taste buds, such as kimchi and pickled radish. It was well needed for such a greasy and salty dish. I really like the vibe and the staff here. They had a couple k-pop music videos playing on the TV and k-pop and pop music playing in the background. The customers at the time seemed to have a good time here. They had some 10th birthday balloons and decorations all over the dining area too. The place is pretty dark with just enough lights and the walls are black which makes the vibe kind of cool. There are some interesting looking giant murals as well Our server was in a happy mood and all smiles. She liked to joke a lot with customers which was great to see. She was happy to answer any questions we had about the menu since it was our first time there. She was the only server at the time so she looked pretty busy. She refilled our waters and asked if everything was good so we felt taken care of. She said thank you, hi and goodbye to everyone in our group as well. Shout out to Seoyoung for being a great server! Washrooms are fine. As far as I know there's only 1 private men's washroom for the entire restaurant but it was pretty clean. A bit cluttered with cleaning supplies but it was clean and spacious. 5 out of 5 stars based on this visit. The 30% off 10th anniversary discount made it really worth coming for the price I paid. I hope they have similar promotions like that in the future. More importantly, the food and staff are great so it's worth checking out.

They didn't last long on the table with our group! The heaters weren't working properly on our table, so it took a few tries to get our cheese melted with the bulgogi. So they went ahead and pre-melted the cheese with the chicken before bringing it to the table. Not only was this mix tasty, it was fun scoop it across for our dish. I order a japchae to go, which was also delicious! (Unfortunately someone accidentally rested my to-go bag on a counter with grease before giving it to me, as I discovered later) The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I would definitely come here again. (you can find me on Insta @aida.loves )
