Inside the restaurant the tables were situated with walls to give each table some privacy. The family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We ordered LA Galbi which is one of our favourites and it was flavourful and tender. The Seol Leong Tang broth was great. The Heamul Jajang had a lot of seafood and the noodles were tender. The Dolsot Bibimbap was also good. The meals came with a bunch of side dishes and they encouraged us to order more (white carrot, sprouts, garlic potato, and kimchi). Staff were friendly and the place was busy but because of the walls it didn't feel crowded. It was a great meal.

I believe the reason why they come here is for the set dinner for 2 or for 4 and so on. We were not too hungry so only ordered two items off the menu. We were craving Ox Tail soup but they did not have it, so we ordered the Spicy Pork bone soup. Then we wanted something from the grill, and decided on pork belly. The soup was nice and hot when it came out, it had 3 huge pieces pork bone (with decent amount of meat), in the soup was cabbages, greens, potato, and topped with a lot of pepper. Soup was decent but a bit bland and it is not at all spicy. The meat was soft and fall off the bone but without the soup it got very dry. The pork belly was small. I thought it would be 3 long strips of pork belly but it looks like 1.5 strips cut into pieces. For about 26 dollars that is very expensive! bbq pork belly taste exactly as it sounds but wrap it with lettuce, rice, and sauce and you are good to go! The side dishes were mediocre but overall meal was filling but did not meet my expectations. Maybe next till ill try the set menu.

The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.

The exterior of the building appears that it is situated in an old house, which definitely adds to the charm. The staff greeted me an led me to a table on the upper floor. Immediately, I noticed that most parties in here were large and the portions were family style. Definitely something that I wish I had brought friends to and not just come in as a solo diner. However, the staff did not make me feel weird about this at all. I ordered a Lychee Time cocktail and a Rose Rice Cake curry. They brought out an included kimchee plate, which was certainly enough for 4 people. The Rose Rice Cake dish was the same, enough for 2-4 people to share. Both the kimchi and the curry were amazing, I enjoyed both immesely. My only complaint was that my drink was far too sweet, I had to water it down to finish it. When it came time for my inevitable leftovers, the staff had great suggestions for reheating and I was even able to purchase udon to go for the leftovers. Amazing homey experience that I would recommend to anyone in town (preferably with friends!).

While visiting Calgary for work, I had a mad hankering for some Korean food. My meetings got out a…read morebit late so I looked up late night Korean food spots and found Namsan... which was a 26 minute walk from my hotel one way. My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

My mom and I wanted a quick, but light dinner and I stumbled upon this restaurant on Yelp. My mom hasn't had the best experience with Korean food in the past (i.e. ate waaay too much at AYCE kbbq and has been traumatized since) but I haven't seen many places that offer Korean hot pot so we decided to give it a try. The hot pot is meant for two people. We got the obulsi hot pot which is bulgogi, calamari, veggies, and glass noodles. It comes with two bowls of rice on the side. There was surprisingly a lot of meat and calamari and a good portion for two. The obulsi has more of a clear broth, so it was light and flavorful. They were quite busy so it was a bit of a wait, but honestly no complaints. There is water and hot barley tea that you can help yourself to. Such a great price for all the food you get and my mom said this was one of her favorite meals from the trip. The food court may not be the most aesthetic, but it has some delicious food!

The young woman waiting on our table did a good job answering questions and was quick to refill the banchan plates. There were four of us. We ordered loads of dishes and they were all very good. This is not gourmet K food. It does not put on airs. It was pretty much Korean home cooking scaled up for a restaurant. One recommendation for the owner: some sort of dessert would be a good addition to the menu, even if it's only ice cream. Yakgwa (honey cookies) with vanilla ice cream would be even better.
