Since the ownership change, I've noticed some small shifts: prices have gone up a little, and the banchan seems to change more often (sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss). But the core dishes are still satisfying and cozy, I always get the soondubu, perfect when you're craving a hot, hearty meal that feels homemade. Service is friendly, portions are decent, and it still scratches the Korean comfort food itch, even if it's not exactly what it used to be.

We tried this place several years ago, and today finally went back for the second time. (It's too far from where we lived. ) Pork bone and potato hot pot: Well, it's on their sign, so I guess it's a 'must' order? That's what I have been missing, so we ordered a Small hotpot to share between 2 people. Soup is just mild spicy, and lots of traditional spices on top. There are actually lots of meat in the 'small' pot. I guess it's about 10 pieces for our pot? Only about 2 potato inside. Not complaining, we are loving it. Seafood pancake: we ordered a small one as well, and it cuts 4 pieces for us. I like it a lot, maybe one of the top 5 korean seafood pancakes I've tried in GVA. Outside of the pancake is very crispy, but not too greasy. Inside of the pancake is packed of green onions and seafood.(mainly squid) Overall, if it's not this far from us, I will definitely visit more. Nice homy small Korean restaurant.

Second time to this chain, first time to this one in Coquitlam. Delicious food, would do again…read more The first thing in the menu didn't fail to meet its expectations as the #1 spot. The pork cutlet with gravy sauce is something you should pick if you're not sure what to get. Pork was breaded lightly and was tender. Sauce is delectable. The daily special for Wednesday was similar, but with a chicken and fish cutlet. Both tender, but I enjoyed the fish the most. Their tartar sauce worked well with both of the proteins. Not a fan of the salad that came with it, but my husband enjoyed it for me. I liked the spicy macaroni, but it did work with the salad as I did have to eat a lot of salad to finish it.

So you go…read moreback the day after you visited :) This time I came with a bigger appetite and someone else with a bigger appetite. We tried the fried dumplings , pork bone soup and the Korean fried chicken ( garlic soy flavour ) Again, the side dishes were very tasty and I had to ask for another serving of the braised potatoes. The pork bone soup was rich in flavour and quite a bit of meat. Perfect for the colder weather. When we packed this to go, it's the first time I had a restaurant use a machine to put a plastic seal on it ! ( I originally thought they just forgot to give me a lid for my container hahah). The fried dumplings were presented nicely , but weren't anything special but still tasty and crispy. The garlic soy fried chicken was amazing ! I enjoyed the tteokbokki sprinkle into the mix. The sauce flavour was the perfect amount of sweetness to saltiness. Everything was evenly coated. And I enjoyed that the pieces of chicken were small pieces , this way the crispy batter covers a better ratio of chicken rather than those huge pieces you get and once you eat the crunchy skin it's just chicken. This time we came at peak meal time at 730pm on a Sunday night and had to wait about 30 min for a seat. All in all, would still come back in a heartbeat.

First off, the restaurant feels cozy and pretty clean. Second, the food was not Bad. Third, the…read morewaiter was kind and helpful. The banchan are delicious! The kimchi is spicy and fresh. The potato was the star of the show and perfectly soft and just the right amount of flavoring and slight sweetness. The seaweed Was well seasoned and slightly vinegary to help cut any of the heavy feeling of the broths we ordered. The seollungtang was delicious! THey season it beforehand which I have not experienced before, but they season it well. The broth was rich and the meat was soft. It also comes with glass noodles which has a great chewy texture. The galbitang was just okay. It didn't taste like the usual one I eat, and the galbi had a strange texture. I wonder if it was frozen and then cooked. And it had a slightly unpleasant taste to it-- in Korean it's " 고기 잡내가 나요" -- like an unpleasant meaty/gamey taste. I also found a hair in the broth but it was towards the bottom when I are most of it. Overall, I would come back for the selongtang!

Like how they leave multiple tea pots and water on the tables. 24 items on the menu; appetizers, KFC, BBQ hot plate, rice & noodle and soup & stews. Banchan can be refilled once for free. We opted for medium spice (which was extremely mild). - Banchan - glazed potatoes (standard), kimchi (good kick) and bean sprouts (refreshing). - Seafood pancake ($25.99 large) - decent. - Chicken wings ($10.99) and boneless chicken balls ($11.99 for 7) - wings were standard, balls didn't have much of a crispy bite. - Pork bone hotpot ($37.99 small) - came with two bowls of rice. Reasonable amount of pork with a few potatoes, jalapeños and green onions. Broth was light and lacked depth. - Galbi beef short-rib hot plate ($29.99) - came with a salad. Short ribs were tender and juicy. - Bulgogi stir fried udon ($16.99) - the udon didn't have much texture, sauce wasn't satisfying. Skip it. - Seafood soft tofu stew ($15.99) - good amount of tofu but the broth was one-dimensional. Have had much better sundubu jjigae. Not bad but nothing exciting at DKC to warrant a return visit.

I also liked that they had big TV screens on both sides of the restaurant for customers to enjoy while dining in. I saw a lot of patrons ordering from their weekday lunch specials and the prices are actually quite good. However, it was all carbs mostly and I didn't want to be sleepy afterwards. We each got a soup. Mine had Korean cabbage in it. It was good but i think the cabbage was cut up too big. Not sure if this is how it's supposed to be but i found it messy to eat. For instance, i bit off half of the cabbage only to find soup dripping down my mouth from the remaining half. The prices of the soup were on par with other Korean restaurants in the area but i found bbong to be more mediocre than it's competitors.

Really friendly and efficient service, large portion on the bibimbap, rich flavourful seolleongtang! Delicious pumpkin soup on the house to start was a pleasant surprise. While the beef tartare was a common highlight among reviews, it didn't seem to deliver a wow factor other than being insta-pic worthy. However, this was an extremely solid bibimbap - satisfying, tasty, and generously topped. Happy with our choices.

We think this is where Koreans eat when they're not cooking at home!…read more We discovered Hansol 한솔 Korean Restaurant after seeing so many rave reviews. This place, tucked away just 5 minutes' driving distance from Coquitlam Centre, is clearly beloved by the local Korean community. The portion sizes are generous. They are perfect for sharing with family or friends. We saw many families and younger groups dining in, which gave it a cozy, homey vibe. We can taste the love and comfort in every bite. Here's what we ordered: * Beef Tartare Bibimbap - Not your typical bibimbap! The raw beef was beautifully seasoned and full of flavour. This was hands down our favourite dish! * Naengmyeon - Cold noodles in a super refreshing broth. Perfectly chewy with a balanced, savoury tang. A must-have on a hot day. * Japchae - Excellent portion, great price. The noodles were springy and not greasy at all--just the right balance of flavour. Great value, quality ingredients, and authentic flavours--Hansol is definitely going on our go-to list whenever we're craving comforting Korean food. We are highly recommend it for students, families, or anyone who loves real Korean cooking! Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! Price: $30-$40 each person (dinner) Presentation: 3/5 Parking: 4/5 Tips: * Free refillable banchan (side dishes) * Must-try: naengmyeon (cold noodles) * Hidden gem: beef tartare bibimbap-flavourful and beautifully presented. * Limited seating - expect wait during peak hours * Tasty, affordable, and generous portions Would I Return: Yes ‍

I love that they offer octopus bibimbap and a delicious mackerel set (two mackerels, rice and soybean soup).

Relatively big portions, you can order one item to share or will likely have some leftovers if you get more. Friendly staff based on my experiences so far.

This place was on my list for a while, I had filled in the contact form on their website to request…read morea reservation for the following week. They texted me back and confirmed the booking. I knew it was in the same Plaza as Hannam supermarket but did not connect it was in a mall/ Plaza space. It wasn't an open seating where you can see all the people dining , they put up semi tall walls to " close it up " a bit more. They has a qr code to scan for the menu and also hard copy menus. For the holiday season they had printed paper with their logo in festive theme - a nice personal touch! There is plenty of parking in the plaza lot. We ordered the steamed dumplings and spicy stir fried squid/pork belly platter which the latter came with 5 rice balls and soybean soup. There were of course Korean side dishes and they were yummy ( braised potatoes, kimchi and soybean sprouts). The potato side dishe was not as braised abd sweet as I liked them but palatable. The spicy stir fried was ordered as mild but I would say the spice level was spicier than what I expected. It has a deep spice that built in the back of your throat. The squid was perfect chewy, pork thinner sliced and the flavour was so delicious. The rice balls had a even seasoning and a nice hint of sesame oil. The soup was standard but flavourful and comforting for the cold weather. The steamed dumplings were packed with a good amount of meat filling though I wished they had a pan fried version as that is just my preference. It was relatively quiet and good for conversation even though there was a steady flow of other customers -likely because it had higher ceilings. At the end of eating , a staff member came out with the bill and two yakult drinks ! What a nice surprise and a nice treat to round off the meal. I had enough for leftovers for two more small meals and I would say each time I ate it , the flavour was better and better !! Added my own rice and proteins to the remaining sauce and it was a meal I looked forward to each time. Already thinking about going back again soon! Decent pricing for amount of food and i was satisfied at the end of eating. I saw the kimchi pancake brought to another table and it looked extra THICK and fluffy( at least 2 inches tall!), might try it next time!
