I liked that the sauce came separately because you need to be able to reheat the leftovers in the air fryer! Two of us shared it while there, then had to split it to take home to our families.

That was a lot of deep fried goodness in one meal.

My hubby LOOOOVVEESS the kkanpungki. He tried so many kkanpungki from different korean restaurants around Vancouver and said that Hee Rae Dung's is still the best for him. - Kkanpungki: the chicken pieces were crispy and the sweet sour sauce was delicious (combo of tangy, sweet and a bit spicy) - Tang suyuk: the pork is crispy yet still tender. The sweet sour sauce is goood! My kid can eat this since it wasn't spicy at all. - Jjajangmyeon: good authentic black bean noodle. The sauce has bold flavor. The noodle was good and chewy - Jam bong: hearty warm soup for Vancouver cold weather but it was a bit too spicy for me. Lots of seafood inside. The restaurant is always busy. Be prepare to wait in line or go when they're just open for the day to avoid the line

Hands down some of the BEST chicken I have ever had. Mumu is the first stop on our Vancouver dinner…read moretrip, and it did not disappoint. I will remember the crisp and flavor of the supreme fried chicken for the rest of my life. The service was excellent, very quick. We could walk right in (we came on a Thursday night, though, it may be busier on weekends). And the ambiance felt like we were in Korea! I loved listening to familiar kpop songs on the TV. Highly recommend !!

Tasty Korean place close to Davie and Denman…read more Parking is pretty horrendous here. Not sure what to say. The venue is several steps down, so this place is definitely not wheelchair friendly. Something to keep in mind. It's basically a glorified basement. Staff are friendly and helpful. Friends and I didn't know what to order (not familiar with the vocabulary) and they were very helpful. Each medium sized box is a very decent portion for 2 people. I imagine a large can easily feed 3. Very good deal I must say. The only issue I have with Korean fried chicken in general is that the flavour becomes too much if one has several pieces of the same flavour. Therefore it is best to order more flavours in a given batch to mix things up. Yang-nyum (sweet & sour sauce) - just the right mix. Tasty. Mat cho king (soy pepper sauce) - a bit on the salty side, but this is expected. Nice pepper kick. Pa dak (green onion) - this one comes with a pile of green onions on top. We thought the box was inverted. The dish includes a container of sauce that needs to be poured all over everything before eating. The order also came with a container of pickled turnip (daikon) for each box of chicken, which was nice. Overall I was very happy with this place. Would gladly come back in the future. Recommended.

Vancouver has so much great Taiwanese food. One of them inside of the Empire Centre food court is…read morethis stall that specializes in Taiwanese bento boxes. Thanks for the recommendation Jando S. At first glance, the prices are average for this type of food. However, once I saw the humongous portions, I believe this vendor should clearly be categorized as cheap eats. For example, for roughly $10, you get three large pork chops (fried or marinated, I slightly preferred the fried more), sautéed cauliflower in XO sauce, soy braised tofu skin (so good I paid for extra $5 portion), crunchy pickles, stewed fish tofu, marinated egg, and a whole separate box of white rice. This is easily $15-20 in NYC. Same price for the crispy, tender, and juicy Chicken Nuggets (aka Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken) with all the trimmings. The quality of every item in the box was top notch and all very delicious. What many customers ordered that interests me for the next visit was the Salt & Pepper Chicken (椒麻鸡), which was basically a huge piece of pounded chicken thigh, battered like the popcorn chicken, with a mala sauce on top. This is a gem for the people who live locally in the area. Such bang for the buck!

Was in the Guildford area with my boyfriend on Thursday after work and felt like some Korean food…read moreand found this little hole in the wall with great ratings. 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.

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!

All the spots in this complex have a restaurant name on them, and we could not find any with Cherry Food House on them. I noticed everyone just parked anywhere, regardless of which restaurant. This place is busy! I would suggest booking ahead. Service is very friendly but hard to flag down because they are busy. The call button at the table didn't work. The food has big portions, especially the big pots. Normal price could be around $50+, but the budaejjigae is $37 here, and the pan was wide and deep. However, the downside was the taste. It does taste like normal Korean food, and things are a bit off. The budaejjigae feels like it didn't have dashi in it. The seafood green onion pancake was 90% imitation crab. Pajeons are supposed to be mainly green onion, but this felt like a cake of imitation crab only. Maybe a couple of pieces of green onion, cuttlefish, and shrimp. The fried chicken was ok. They serve free dessert at the end - feels like some pudding with sweet syrup. If you don't mind about taste and just want a lot of food for cheap then this is for you.

I'll admit it: when I'm looking for Korean food, I don't usually go off the beaten path…read more There's a reason for that. Korean food is one of those cuisines where I've always subscribed to a simple theory: if Koreans aren't eating there, why should I? You can dress up a restaurant, put some Korean words on the menu and serve kimchi with just about anything, but eventually somebody has to judge the food. And Koreans, bless them, are not exactly known for suffering quietly through mediocre kimchi. So imagine my surprise when a little Korean restaurant in the middle of Richmond, BC, actually delivers. Daan is good. Properly good. And no, this isn't the place for the ubiquitous Korean BBQ experience that seems to have taken over the culinary landscape. No sizzling tabletop grills, no elaborate choreography, no fifteen-minute explanation of which piece of meat you're supposed to cook first. Daan is for something much more important: the Korean food you actually want when you're hungry and a little homesick for the food you grew up with. This is comfort food. The stews. The noodles. The hot-plate bulgogi. The stuff that arrives at the table steaming, fragrant and unapologetically familiar. The japchae is a definite yes. The bulgogi is worth ordering. And the galbi hits that sweet spot between substantial and satisfying--the kind of meal that reminds you why Korean food became a comfort food in the first place. There is one notable disappointment: the gamjatang, or pork bone stew. And that's a bit of a shame, because a great gamjatang can be the very definition of Korean soul food. Here, it just doesn't quite get there. So skip it and spend your calories elsewhere. Prices are pretty much what you'd expect in Vancouver--roughly ten percent more than Toronto, give or take. Then again, they don't hit you with PST on restaurant food, so by the time the bill arrives, we're more or less even. What I really like about Daan, though, is that it doesn't seem desperate to be anything other than a Korean restaurant. And in a city where Korean food can sometimes mean driving to Kingsway in Burnaby, heading all the way out to Coquitlam, or joining the latest Korean BBQ craze, there's something wonderfully satisfying about finding a place in Richmond that quietly gets the assignment. You want your kimchi fix? You shouldn't have to cross the Lower Mainland. Daan is proof that sometimes the little restaurant in the middle of nowhere is exactly where you should have been looking. Definitely recommended. Just don't order the gamjatang. Cheers!!!
