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 found this restaurant through an IG foodie's recommendation. This restaurant is always very busy,…read moreand on weekends, there is always a lineup. We ordered short rib BBQ, Beef tartare Bibimbap, and original-flavor deep-fried chicken wings. Beef tartare Bibimbap was served in a hot stone bowl with a variety of vegetables on top of the rice. The gochujang sauce was served separately, allowing us to adjust the spiciness to our preference. It was a pretty good dish. The short rib BBQ was very tender and nicely seasoned. It was slightly on the sweeter side, very delicious. I will definitely order it again. The original flavor deep-fried chicken wings were served fresh and hot. They were incredibly crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside--very good! Next time, I should order them with a flavored seasoning, as I already knew the original version was cooked with less saltiness, meant to be paired with a sauce. Overall, I really like this restaurant. The food tasted good, and the most notable point was the reasonable price! It was a very good deal, and it has now become one of my regular go-to places.

I'm extremely disappointed by our experience yesterday, especially because I've always genuinely…read moreenjoyed this restaurant. Unfortunately, what happened was unacceptable. Our party of six waited over an hour to be seated. If my mother hadn't spoken up, we likely would have waited even longer. Although reservations are not accepted, guests are placed on a waitlist upon arrival. Our name was clearly on the queue, but not in Korean and while I initially understood smaller parties of two or four being seated ahead of us based on table availability, concerns arose when another party of six--who was behind us in line (name was written in Korean--was seated before us. This was deeply frustrating, as we were next in line for a table that could accommodate six people. When we raised the issue, the hostess admitted it was a mistake, yet still chose to seat the other group first. They were 5th in the queue. Despite our complaint, there was no sincere apology, and we were forced to wait an additional 10 minutes while they set up another table. The entire situation left us feeling unfairly treated and discriminated against. As loyal customers who regularly spend over $300 per visit ordering family combos, extra dishes, drinks, and more, this was incredibly disappointing. Sadly, we will not be returning. There are many other restaurants that treat their customers with fairness, respect, and appreciation.

Cozy family friendly Korean restaurant in downtown Langley. They have few staff but they're so…read moreefficient, both the food and service were surprisingly fast! The sides are especially great. You normally only get three sides in other Korean restaurants but Woorinara gives NINE sides, each with their own flavour profile and distinct taste. Some like spicy, some like sweet, some like sour and the sides had an option for everybody. Of course the japchae (glass noodles) were really good, with smooth texture and a really unique flavour that's special to this restaurant. Their meats were also perfectly cooked and seasoned but we felt the portions were a bit small compared to what we might get in other restaurants. However the flavour was good to combine with any other dish and we really did eat our fill in the end. The bibimbap was classic and you can't go wrong with that!

I don't remember there being any beef short rib (LA galbi) on my previous visits, so that was a nice surprise. The marinated pork shoulder was very good as usual. The deep fried items seemed old, cold/lukewarm and very tough/chewy. Too bad because I used to love their chicken wings. I noticed a shaved ice milk machine with an assortment of jellies and red bean. The machine was hard to operate and only some of us were successful in grabbing some. Still a reliable option for large groups but I wish there were more options to choose from in Surrey.

We found this place on Google map as we were not familiar with korean food in the area. My friend…read morewanted hot food, preferably soupy stuff. We got the army stew (Budae jjigae) to share plus an order of Korean fried chicken. The staff recommended that when we asked what RO order for an appetizer or side. She said the fried chicken is the popular item. The soy garlic chicken was delicious. I like the army stew which is a guilty pleasure as it contains mostly processed meat like spam and sausage and a slice of American cheese and instant noodle. My friend never tried it before and while she liked the soup, she didn't like the processed stuff. She mostly had the tofu and rice cakes in there. The place was quite busy when we we were there on a Tuesday night. I guess it is a popular spot in the area. Parking is available out front.

It's a cute Mom and Pop place and we were promptly greeted warmly upon arrival. The restaurant was nearly full on a Thursday night, a good sign. They have a simple small menu and we ordered the LA Galbi and Beef Bimbimbop with rice in a hot stone bowl (+$1). For some reason, the LA Galbi doesn't come with a bowl of rice but is served with a small bowl of ox bone soup. The banchans sides were plentiful with Kim chi radish, bean sprots, potatoes, and sold kind of stewed beef with veggies. LA Galbi was solid and good quality of beef, flavourful, and quantity for $35. The beef bimbimbop with rice was good for $19. Overall, a solid cute local spot worth visiting and supporting.
