Went for Korean while we were in town, settling on trying Jung Korean Restaurant. It's next door to…read moreKerala South Indian. We dropped in on a Monday (1:00pm) for lunch. Service was good; use the call button to ask for things. It was cold inside with the AC blasting. Menu consists of appetizers, BBQ meat, soups, rice dishes, shareables, noodles, hot pots and stir fry's. They have BBQ combos for two to four people. - Banchan - two types of kimchi, pickled daikon, seaweed salad and sliced onions. All tasty. - 2x Rice ($3.00 each) - would have been good with one additional bowl. - BBQ combo set ($94.00) - good enough to share between four. Best of the meats was easily the LA galbi. The rib finger wasn't the freshest. Corn cheese was a good appetizer; more cheese than corn. Sukuh soondubu jigae was tasty but not much seafood or sliced beef. - Bibim-naengmyun ($17.00) - refreshing but standard fare. Solid KBBQ eats at Jung. Would come back again.

Absolutely! It was worth it! We spent around 150 dollars for two people, plus an additional 17…read moredollars for Jinro. We ordered the Combo Premium Beef Combo for 2, which costs 119 dollars, and it included everything you see in my photos and posts. The only item not part of the Combo is the A9 rice cake sausages. Everything else you see in those pictures is included in the Combo for just 119 dollars! When you order this combo, you can choose two side dishes from a variety of options. We went with the S1 Spicy beef soup and ojing eo bokkeum. There are other soup choices available, like Spicy Seafood soup, spicy tofu soup, spicy veggies soup, and more. The combo also includes two servings of steamed rice. You can choose one more dish along with the soups. We opted for ojing eo bokkeum, but you can also choose from options like soya garlic chicken bits, spicy chicken bits, and more. A9 is a must-try! It's rice cakes and sausages with a Korean Sweet and Spicy Sauce. $13 for 2 Service a bit slow, seems very busy restaurant but only 4 waitress. Line up and line up. Oh, environment was fine

I somehow dine at Korean Village once every couple of years, perhaps due to the limited AYCE Korean…read moreBBQ places in Edmonton and that Korean Village is more affordable. Their selection is quite limited but they have all the essential items that are fairly fresh. However, I've had bad experiences here. When the staff lowered the grill temperature so it took longer to cook the meat, it didn't feel good, especially given that their time limit is shorter than other places. Moreover, when the staff urged us to eat more rice instead of meat, it just felt bad. Feeling judged while dining and leaving an AYCE on a half empty stomach is ...disappointing...I'd give them 4.5/10

I really like this place! My boyfriend and I came here on valentines out of a spur of the moment…read morething. We love kbbq but it's very expensive here in Edmonton, and there are only two in the city. It's located in an inconspicuous (weird if you ask me) spot, in a neighbourhood in front of a school. Parking wasn't that difficult to get. Upon arriving we waited 10 minutes for our reservation and we got seated. The vibe and atmosphere of this place is very family-run-authentic. The meats are served buffet style and you grab your own drinks from the soda fountain. Sides of lettuce, salad (my personal fave- amazing vinaigrette to cut the meat), kimchi, bean sprouts, etc. There were also a few variety of fried items. My favorite was the shrimp chips. They also have fried rice but no white rice. Which leads me to my next point-- Service: AMAZING!! One of the older ladies saw my boyfriend and I mixing our fried rice and kimchi to make kimchi fried rice. She asked if we wanted some sesame oil and seaweed to put into our fried rice to make it more bokkeum-bap!! She came back with a bottle of sesame oil and mixed it in for us. The only downsides: They put a piece of parchment paper over the grill which kind of absorbs all the juice. The selection of meat is very limited as well. For 2 people not including our alcohol, it came to about $75 for AYCE. Not too bad considering it's the only other kbbq place in town. Will definitely be regulars!

Happened to stumble upon this amazing authentic Korean restaurant in Edmonton!…read more Apparently there's lots of ramen spots everywhere around the city It's a thing here ahaha so the craving was there ! The resto is in the middle of a strip mall they were closing early so we had no choice to order take out as I had to try it out! It had over 1000 reviews on the big G ... had to give it a try and I wasn't staying very far. I had their cheese buldak wooow 5********/5 Best dish I had ! The cheese and chicken mixture with rice cakes was out of this world ! A must try when you come here! The grilled pork belly 5/5!!! You can taste the grill and the tender pieces of pork I love the marinade just delicious! Beef Short ribs: 2/5 a little chewy lacked some flavour but still ok.. will skip next time . Pork Bone soup: 5++++/5 amazingggg delicious and filled with so much flavour absolutely loved it. Teriyaki Chicken with Udon noodles 5+++/ 5 amazing flavour delicious!! Service : 5/5 the guy taking our order took all his time to explain the different menu items and all the popular ones.. we mostly followed his recommendations!very patient and caring while take our order. Top Notch service ! Ambiance: very busy lots of people so you know this is THE SPOT! Overall, don't pass up and definitely try this place out a definite must !! Can't wait to come back here if I ever come back to Edmonton. Overall

It was quite busy but it was expected for a Sunday evening…read more The food was good as always but we found that service a bit off - we waited for one last chair which took 3 times of asking before it was provided. We've also almost ate all the meat before rice was provided. Regardless, the food was still good. Ordered fried chicken, spicy pork belly, corn cheese and more and they all tasted great. Ambiance was same as usual. Clean and same with the washrooms

Just two words: FREAKING AWESOME!…read moreI love Korean food and I have gone to many Korean restaurants. One of my friends who is Korean, recommended this place so we decided to give it a shot. As we entered we noticed a very well designed restaurant with cozy atmosphere! The staff were very nice and friendly which made the experience even better. The food: I have never seen a quality like this! Everything was high quality and delicious! We did not have any leftovers!!! When we were going to leave, they gave us some sort of a small drink that I have no idea what it was but it was very refreshing and delicious! They met all of my expectations from a good restaurant and don't be surprised if you see I become a regular here! I highly recommend this place! :)

Got the strawberry Soju. I loved it, friend did not. Tried the Baekjeong Combo for 2. Steamed egg was sooooo cool. Tasted pretty bland but presentation was 12/10. Stone/container keeps it hot for quite a while too! Tried the only soup that did not say spicy. 10/10 was good. Rice was good. Salad was good - I liked the dressing. Pickled ?daikon was 10/10 so great for cutting through all the meat flavor. Bean sprouts were just okay. Friend liked the sauerkraut but I did not. Broccoli was very nice to grill. Marinated raw Onion was good (better slightly warmed on the grill). Marinated pork was my favorite. Pork belly was good. The super thinly sliced was one was my least favorite. Hard to cook and shrivels up too much. The super thick cuts I also did not like as I found it too chewy but honestly that could just be my cooking skills. Grill was swapped out 3 times during our 1.5hr experience. Ate 100% of everything But only 50% of the egg, and 10% of the bean sprouts (2 very hungry people). Overall what a fun experience. But I like Gyu-Kaku more (Better price for same experience and I like the marinated cheap meats better than the expensive cuts).

I've always wanted to go to Hanjan but never had the time to visit for months. Now the stars had…read morefinally aligned and we came here right after an Oiler's watchparty. We arrived right before other people filled up the place so it was a little busy. I'm surprised at how much space and seating they have. At first I just saw 4 person tables but they led us to the other area where they had large tables for bigger parties. We had 9 people in our party and they seated us immediately. My boyfriend and I split the Bulgogi Fries and the Padak (Soy Garlic) Korean Fried Chicken. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. After one bite of the Bulgogi Fries, it was an immediate 10/10. The fries were crispy and had the perfect golden crisp + soft inside ratio. And don't even get me started with the sauce on top. The white sauce was light, and had the perfect combination of slightly sweet and savory. It was a wonderful aioli. And the veggies added were so good. The tomatoes and scallions added a nice freshness and slight acidity to the overall dish. Lastly the bulgogi was just *chef's kiss*. I don't really know how else to explain it other than the Bulgogi Fries were a well-balanced dish. We were scooping every single missed vegetable in the sauce after we demolished the fries. The Padak (Soy Garlic) fried chicken was so tasty. Whenever I get wings, my go-to is pretty much anything soy garlic, or anything included garlic. The fried chicken skin was the best part. Great texture, crunchy, crispy, wonderful flavor. It was a great blend of savory, umami, and garlic. And the green onions on top was a great addition. Portion size for both things we ordered was perfect for the two of us. Also, don't even get me started on the banchans. Great kimchi, radish kimchi was so refreshing, and that mashed potato side? Terrific. We asked for more banchan when we were done. Lastly, we came back the very next day to try the desserts. At first, I wanted to pick one dessert to share between me and my boyfriend but it was so difficult to choose one. So we got both lol. We ordered the Injeolmie Waffle, Honey Butter Bread, and tried some of my cousin's Strawberry Bingsu. The Injeolmi Waffle itself was delicious, sweet but not too sweet. The ice cream added that sweetness and the almonds on top were nice. And the Honey Butter Bread? Wow. The milk bread and the fresh whipped cream were fluffy, light, and not too sweet. I would go back again in a heartbeat. If I was in the neighborhood, I would be a regular. And when I give a place 5 stars, 5 stars to me means: take my money and I might dangerously spend too much of my paycheck here. Which is what I did, but no regrets. I will not stop talking about this place. 10's all across the board for me! Love you Hanjan.

So, again, I should have read my last review and this place was still cold, one year later. TURN UP…read moreYOUR HEAT! Me and my friends were freezing. That is why it lost a star. Otherwise it is a large restaurant, pretty non descript in nature but clean and orderly. I like that after you are seated, and you get your menus you ring a doorbell at your table when you are ready. I like this. The servers are not running around ragged. Great menu - lots of selections. We ordered a lot of different items - Gamja Tang - Spicy, hearty pork bone soup with potatoes, green onions, hot peppers, and ground sesame seeds. Galbi - Beef short ribs soaked in a sweet soy marinade and grilled. Cheese Buldak - Korean Fire Chicken, tender chicken coated in a spicy gochujang sauce with rice cakes, potatoes, and mozzarella cheese melted on top, and soy garlic fried chicken. It also came with some steamed rice and banchan which is small appetizers of pickeled vegs. Everything was delicous but my favourite was the gamja tang. Delicous! Despite our freezing we also splurged on the mango bingsu - shaved ice dessert topped with fresh mangoes, ice cream, and condensed milk. Delicous but we walked out like popsicles. I will have to come back in summer :)

The pork in the soup is one of the best I've had from all the Gam Ja Tangs in Edmonton - nice cuts, good flavour, and perfect cookedness. The vegetables have been really fresh and cooked well. One thing to note is that the soup isn't very spicy. Overall, I'd give them 8.8/10

This is definitely one of the hidden gems of the south side. The shop is located between two other…read moredining establishments and if you weren't looking carefully you'd probably miss it. It's definitely a cozy spot better equipped to serve smaller groups than larger parties. The menu is pretty straightforward with just enough variety so that everyone would probably find something they'd be interested in. I ordered a Bulgogi (stir-fried marinated beef) that came with rice and some banchan, then I also got a separate appetizer of Mandu (fried chicken dumplings). All the food was as expected and I can't really complain about anything. The bulgogi was cooked to perfection, the mandu was crispy and soft as a fried dumpling should be. The portions are large and is just the right amount for a meal if you eat like me, or a meal and some leftovers if you eat less. I wasn't in a rush and enjoyed my meal, they checked how I was doing a few times but never felt pushy. Super friendly and very prompt service. I'd try some other things next time I went. Go with a small group of 4 and try a few different dishes that you can share is my advice.

The food is well-cooked with good ingredients and very flavorful. If you want more spice, not a problem - they can make it as spicy as you want, or even not spicy at all. They provide free side dishes, and you can have as many as you want. All the waitresses are very friendly and always smiling. Having a happy and welcoming environment is essential for customers, and they definitely deliver on that. As a customer, I definitely don't like some of the restaurants waiters and waitress always have a poker face to you and it seems like you owe their money and you made their day not good.
