Great meal at Insadong, as always. Four of us split a bbq combo for 2 and it was plenty of food. The side dishes were delicious as well. Staff were friendly and I love that they have a button to click to get staff to come. Otherwise, they leave you be, which is nice. The complex has good parking availability as well. Pro tip: reserve in advance over the phone so you avoid waiting. read more

Wonderful place for a group bbq. They even put us in a private room which seated 12 people! There's a bell button for service which was quick. The bbq combo C was a great selection of meat items and lots of banchan. Tasty & delicious! Only thing I wish is that they bbq it for us. They allow outside cake to be served. The machine doesn't work inside private room so you have to pay outside the room at the front desk. Will definitely be back again for more Kkbbq! Parking is limited. read more

Haven't been for awhile. We finally came back and had our little one with us. They have high chair for our one year old. Of course this restaurant isn't really geared for babies so we brought some food for our baby. They were accommodating and provided us with some extra things. The food is just as good as before. They have a good selection of items from soup to bbq meat to hotpot. If it is really busy, then expect to leave like bbq meat. When we went for lunch, it wasn't busy so we were okay. The service is great, there are a few private rooms to eat in and lots of space. Parking can be a bit of a challenge as it's part of a strip mall, even though it's at the end of the mall. We would come back if we're in the area. read more

This is a great spot of a group or party! The restaurant is large yet it feels like each party has their own private space. I highly recommend getting a combo set and adding in any extra dishes or meats you'd like. They had a good variety of side dishes with free refills. The bell to notify a server was helpful to change out the grills when needed. read more

We haven't been back here in a few years but remembered that they had tasty food. Overall service was great, food delicious and the portions were big. They have a simple interior and very causal ambiance. All their servers were super helpful, attentive and very quick to serve. We had a great experience and will definitely come back again when we se craving Korean BBQ read more

Stopped by here last minute a while ago after plans at a other restaurant fell through. We were very hungry and craving a good KBBQ meal. We grabbed one of the large meat combos along with an order of fried chicken. The KBBQ was more or less what you would hope for from a good KBBQ restaurant. The meats were good and tasty after being cooked and the sides were good as well. The fried chicken I enjoyed a fair amount. It wasn't overly crispy but like just right. We could have ordered another one of those. Two thumbs up to Insadong. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Very appreciative of how often the staff came by to check up on us and provide refills. read more

Really good! The restaurant is nice a spacious. Food was pretty good (not super wowing but really hit the spot). Service was also good! The restaurant uses a call button system. Other locations that use a similar system can sometimes be really slow but service here was fast and friendly! We got the combo B family of 4 meal and it was great for 4 adults read more

Insadong Korean Restaurant - Chicken (we are everything else already lol) - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Ordered beef soup instead a bowl of guts that stunk horribly and they still made me pay for it

The food here is super consistently good. I love bring friends and family here because then we can just offer one of their 2, 4, or 6 person set menu. Unlimited side dishes, and they swapped out our grill plate quite often so it wouldn't keep burning. If you have 6 people or more, you can make a reservation. Smaller parties will have to walk in! read more

Korean BBQ near Lougheed Town Centre skytrain station. Restaurant has a weird layout. The main space is down the stairs, but they also have seating in rooms up the stairs and at the entrance level.. Super busy on a weeknight. They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more. We only had 4 people so had to wait an hour. Ended up getting some appetizers from a different place in the vicinity before coming back. Got the Insadong combo platter, and also added beef tongue and the really fatty beef. The combo included seafood tofu soup and we also got the kimchi soup. The soups are pretty tasty... has the heavy, slightly spicy and acidic flavors to balance all of the fat and oil from the meat. The meat was pretty good too. My favorite were the marinated rib meat, super tender and very flavorful. To be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of the beef tongue which had good flavor but can be a bit chewy, or the super fatty marbled beef, which has zero flavor, but my friends loved those. Came out to $250 for four people so definitely not cheap, but we all had a food coma afterwards. read more

Insadong Korean Restaurant - Insadong combo + extra kimchi soup - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Unassuming and almost hard to find from the outside, but very nice on the inside and great food. We went with the Combo B barbecue and it was a ton of meat. The banchan (appetizer small plates) were really good, as was the seafood pancake and soybean paste soup side dishes. From ordering to having a table full of meat to cook was only a few minutes. Service was attentive, polite, and welcoming. read more

Overpriced but still good and their service is good! I come here once in a blue moon with my family, they use to serve better and a whole lot more side dishes. read more

This gem of a place is awesome and affordable. The bbq meats are marinated well and it isn't tough unlike some places. Not a lot of banchan - just the standard cucumber and normal kimchi but the quality of the meats make up for it. Large place, good for groups. Service is great and they change the hot plate very regularly. read more

Went hunting for KBBQ and was surprised by this hidden GEM! Appearing small and unassuming from the streets of North Rd, Insadong features a beautiful entry way leading you through a rustic and open interior. We got: - Chicken and Beef Combo for 2 (comes with soybean paste soup, green salad, and 2x rice) $69.99 - Sliced pork belly $23 - Buckwheat Cold Beef Noodle $15 !!!!! 9.5/10 Portions were generous for the price, and everything was tasty! We ordered this for 4 people - two of which have generous appetites - and were astounded at how full we ended up. The only reason for -0.5 points is the service of one of the servers, she seemed less than happy to be there and left before we could finish asking for extra tongs... read more

My partner and I came across this place after craving some Korean food. My partner loved the seafood pancake the most. I'm a meat eater and enjoyed the marinated meat that we got to cook. Price for what we got was a bit on the high side (as it usually is for most Korean restaurants). Service was okay. We had to ring the bell several times because our grill would get black from cooking the meat which I was actually hoping they would keep an eye on as that's what I've experienced at other BBQ restaurants. read more

Tasty food, friendly fast service, and the large tables and open space make this a great restaurant for larger groups.

Wonderful Korean barbecue restaurant in Coquitlam! As soon as you walk in the restaurant, you're hit by the smell of barbecue. It was awesome. We ordered the Insadong Combo for 4 which comes with choice of soup (we got soft tofu soup) and ordered an additional galbi tang. The soups were great and the meats were fantastically marinated. It was also a lot of food for four people, I can imagine sharing with 5-6 and being pretty full as well. They also came with all of the side dishes which included a delicious marinated cucumber, potatoes, kimchi, and bean sprouts. My favourite was the cucumber side dish. It also included four bowls of rice, with an extra bowl for the extra soup we ordered. Service was good. They have a bell set up for you to ring when you need anything which is pretty cool. There were a few times when we rang it a couple of times before they came to us as they were quite busy. COVID measures: they ask you to show your ID and your vaccine passport, along with sanitizing your hands. read more

I have always wanted to try this place but never got around to it. We came on a perfect day. It was cold outside so we went for some bbq. We were greeted by friendly staff and was led to our table quickly. We ordered the two person meal with pork, chicken and beef options. This option is perfect for someone who has decision problem like me. The meal comes with either fermented bean paste soup or spicy tofu soup. I thought the fermented bean paste one wouldn't be spicy but I was wrong. If you can't eat spicy, remember to let them know. Our grill plate was changed many times that night. I feel like they come and change our grill plate every time we finish a round of grilling without us asking. The staff were super attentive. I will definitely be coming back for more :) read more

After a long fun day to Bridal Falls, my girl friend and I decided to have Korean for dinner on our way back to Vancouver. Decided to go by Korea Town (Burquitlam by Lougheed and North Road) as there are tons of Korean restaurants to choose from and we decided on Insadong. We were immediately greeted upon entering and the restaurant felt clean. Though they did not kept every other table closed, due to Covid, there were partitions between the tables and we were asked to sit inside our table area so that there would be enough physical space from the table across from us. After a long day, we were famished so decided to order a 2 person BBQ combo that was for $49.99 including a soup of choice (spicy tofu or soybean), 2 bowls of rice, shared green salad, side dishes, and BBQ grill meats that included marinated beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, beef steak, and pork jowl. Also ordered an additional dish of seafood pancake, which my girl friend and I love. We asked for the spicy pork bulgogi not to be spicy so they gave us unmarinated pork jowl, which was fine with us. Food arrived quickly, which was great. Servers were friendly and came to check if our grills required replacing, without us having to ring our bell. Salad was nice and fresh and seafood pancake had a nice crunchy top. The BBQ meats were nice but the sliced pork jowl pieces of meat were still frozen and stuck together so it made grilling them a little harder and longer. We choose the soybean soup, because my friend can't handle spicy, and I could not drink the bowl of soup as it was incredibly salty. My friend found it to be both too spicy and salty, even though we asked for no to mild spice. Good portions of food and it was tasty but the incredibly salty soybean soup and the frozen BBQ meat would not make me order the combo again. However, service is good so might be worth a revisit to order something else. Altogether, meal came to be $70 including tax but not tip and we left incredibly full and with the soybean soup virtually untouched. read more

The food is very tasty and it is very clean . . We had the Insadong Combo which came with chicken and a lot of different kinds of meat . . The meats were all marinated well . . Would be nice if there were more side dishes . . Only Kim chee, potato, cucumber and bean sprouts . . It's a little loud and smoky if you have people who are sensitive to that . . Our poor waiter was very friendly but super overwhelmed. . He forgot one of our dishes, I had to yell to get his attention and no hot tea . : but through it all he smiled . . Overall the food was worth the money but they need to hire more help and then they could be 5 stars!!! read more

Insadong Korean Restaurant - A full 4 family chicken and beef combo. - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

The good: - Service was wonderful. Our waiter was so nice and patient. He helped us with the grill and even offered a complimentary 7up because we couldn't handle the soju by itself - Environment. Very rustic decor, spacious. Really pleased with how much room there is between tables so you can enjoy a private conversation. - Side dishes. Free refill! Not too thrilled about: - Price and Portion. We got the Pork set and we each paid around $40/person ($80 in total). For that price I expect big portions and just a hearty meal. Don't get me wrong the food was quite delicious, but I find it so difficult to justify spending almost $50 on this meal. I wish they could have offered just one more meat cluster, or a side dish (like japchae). read more

Fortunately we remembered from a visit long ago that we needed to press the bell when we needed service. No one told us this and we sat for quite awhile before I noticed the buzzer on the table. As soon as we pushed the buzzer we were served promptly. We ordered the Insadong combo and it was delicious. It came with salad, spicy tofu soup, rice and about 6 or 7 sides dishes including kim chee, beansprouts, potato, zucchini and various sauces. Hot tea is also served with your meal. The grill was replaced frequently during the course of the evening so there was never a problem with the meat sticking to the grill. Dining was very leisurely since we cooked our own food. We were almost 2 hours over dinner which is fine because we were not pressed for time. The prices are fair for the quality and quantity of food. The serving size was more than adequate for the 2 of us. Service, once we had figured out that we had to ring the bell was very good. Parking is very difficult to find. We ended up parking at the lot that is right at the entrance to the mall. Reservations are only taken for groups of 6 or more. read more

This is a good Korean bbq place if you want to go for value and variety because they have grilling combos. We got the "Beef and Chicken" Couple for two combo. It came with a salad, an array of Korean appetizer, tofu soup, two rice, 5 different types of meats. The meats were so flavourful and the amount was decent enough to fill two of us up happily. For those of you who like to study restaurant menus before you go read more

After hearing so much about this place, it was time to see why Kim Jong-Il hasn't invaded the South yet. Parking is available around the building in the strip mall. However, spots are quite limited. There is street parking around the corner if the lot fills up. The appetizer dishes here consist of potatoes in sweet sauce, kimchi, spicy cucumber, pickled turnip (I think that's what it was?), and bean sprouts. I found most of them on the "meh" side. Not knowing what to order, we had the seafood and pork hot pot. It was actually pretty well done. The noodles weren't mushy, and the pieces of meat were nice and tender. The soup was quite delicious too. Special mention. We also had a seafood pancake, but it was just mediocre. Decent, but nothing special. My biggest complaint by far though is that the place is horribly understaffed. Big time. The 2 people there were both scrambling all over the place, and it took us 10 minutes to flag someone down. They just need to hire 1 more person.. The place was decent overall, but after hearing all the hype, I must way I was somewhat disappointed. read more

Bad service ever‼ I have never been any Korean restaurants in my life to told me that " I can't give your guys anymore BBQ sauce, because we have policy that we could only provide 5 times sauces. :)" So funny!! My suggestion is if you are a sauce eater please your own sauce in case. BTW Food just so so. read more

Best Korean BBQ place I've ever gone to! The food was delicious - meat is high quality and great tasting. Sides are amazing and refillable. They have a great selection of drinks, but you should definitely go for their yogurt soju drink if you're looking for something unique. Service is phenomenal. Our server was extremely personable and friendly. Gave great recommendations and tips on how to cook the meat, and was frequently back to help clean up dishes, provide refills on sides and water, and to change the grill top. Really just a top notch experience. Price is comparable with other places. The inside decor and vibe is really outstanding - it'll feel like you entered another world. The place is accessible both by transit and by car - plenty of parking around the area (although the lot can get quite busy). Washrooms are cleaned and well maintained. Highly recommended! read more

Came here on a Tuesday - we tried to make a reservation for 3 but they don't make any under 6 people. We ended up getting there I think right before rush around (approximately 6pm) and we got sat immediately. I haven't been here in awhile so it was great to see the COVID protocols put in place (ie checking id's and vaccine passport). Service was great, we ordered the chicken and beef combo for 4 people and a seafood pancake and it was more than enough food! Everything was fresh, delicious and good quality. The seafood pancake was crisp and we were very impressed with the fast and friendly service. We will for sure be coming again! read more

First time I was here it was super awesome. We order a two person combo and 3 of us and couldn't finish it. So I always had in mind this place offers big dishes. Yes Delicious dishes. So next time I came I had 5 people and decided to order a 4 person combo. The first visit and the last visit was only about 4 months apart. I was surprised the portion got a lot smaller. Food was not that great. Service went downhill too. Well they have a buzzer to ring when service is needed. They seem to be ignoring it. Well i don't blame them too much because it was like 1 person manning the whole entire restaurant. When I say entire, I have to say this place is big and probably has over 40 tables. So I don't blame them for not noticing us. Food is not bad. Like all other Korean BBQ Restaurants. read more

Great, friendly service. We booked a big table for a party and while the food was very plentiful and tasty and our server excellent, I wish the room had more ambiance - especially music!

Possibly the worst dining experience we've had. Horrible service and food. We got here and were seated and our server was rushing us to order our food quickly.

This is considered to be one of the "high end" Korean dinner places that people go and eat. You will always see a lot of large families going to this place for a great time with their relatives. This place really reminds me of the whole Asian Culture that the large family of all relatives to come and sit and eat in a round table and share bread. The service here is not as great as I thought it was though. The waiters/waitress are not as attentive as I thought. There is a button you can press to call for service. It is an interesting device, but the waitress/waiters will not arrive until 10 minutes later. Which is a little awkward that they would have a device put in there for a purpose... The food is lovely though. I will give them 2 thumbs up for their food though. My friends and I enjoyed an amazing time eating the food and sharing the grub. We drank tons of SoJu (Korean Rice Wine) and still got home safely. A great place to hang out with friends and family. I will go back to this place for sure. read more

They should just rename this place "Kimchi Korean Restaurant." Seriously. The kimchi--I mean--the food is great. They have a wide variety of different options here, and I'm not just talking about the impressive menu (seriously, so many options!). If you come during certain times you can cook your own food on a built-in BBQ on your table. Super cool stuff. If you come earlier, or don't feel like cooking, you can get everything cooked in the kitchen for you. I tried a ton of options and they were all very good. Oh, and did I mention the kimchi? I did? Okay. The service is very good. They are fast, polite, and check up on you often, even during the hectic dinnertime hours. The atmosphere is especially good. I love the decorations at this place, it's very high-class and beautiful. You get to feast on the scenery before you feast on your delicious kimchi! Overall, this place is awesome. Definitely check it out for some authentic Korean BBQ. I like to call this place "Instant Dong" because I think I'm fucking hilarious, but everyone just rolls their eyes. read more
