I visited Porker face restaurant which specialized for pork belly bbq - AYCE. This place used to be Sooda restaurant and it is run by the same management as Porker face. So we were so excited to try this different concept restaurant. What we ordered: AYCE menu choice C - includes Pork belly, beef belly, Daeji Galbi, and pork jowl, 5 side dishes, rice, mashed potatoes, melted cheese and corn, tteokbokki, kimchi jjagae, 3 saucces. - all for CAD 39.99!! - 90 minutes limit. It was an amazing deal. First, we were served 5 side dishes, mashed potatoes, then, meats came, staff helped us to cook, then, the rest of dishes arrived. Service was very fast. Their signature is pork belly, however, we prefer pork jowl, daeji galbi and beef belly better. Pork belly was excellent! However, we could not have them too much. Soup, tteokbokki, side dishes were also good. Overall, I think one of the most impactful AYCE we ever had. It was great deal, and food was good. Service was nice and fast. read more

Came here for dinner with the family. The staff were super nice and the place is cute. We sat at a higher top table. We ordered a mango soju to drink. It was tasty but I doubt the alcohol content in it. We all got AYCE C. The soup was delicious. Mashed potatoes were yummy. Daejigalbi aka marinated pork was the tastiest. All the meats were delicious. They give a good amount of food. And you can just get more of whatever you want. The corn cheese was great too. We had a good time. Definitely recommend. read more

An AYCE pork belly place. It was hard to resist trying. Located close to Brentwood Mall around the Solo District in Burnaby. Easily accessible by SkyTrain. Place has a number of large size tables & some booth style tables. They were not that busy when I ventured here on a Sunday for their AYCE. Servers come and fill your glasses and give you more pork belly when needed. There was nothing wrong with the belly itself but as another reviewer also mentioned, the limited sides are offered in exactly the same quantity regardless of what size your dining party is. Seems a bit odd and misleading. All the extras (if you want extra sides will add up. For a table of 3, I thought the amount of pork belly got a tad too much of the same. Added up. I found it hard to justify the price. Alas.next time, I will for non AYCE as there are other things on the menu that I would try. read more

Oh we absolutely loved this restaurant!!! Took my two teenage boys and my husband for dinner and got the all you can eat pork special... and let me tell you- We only stopped eating because it would have been unhealthy to keep going! The service was excellent and our server was attentive and made sure we had replenished sides throughout our meal! We will definitely come back! read more

I'm not supposed to be eating fatty pork but this place is sooo good that had to come here. It's really for pork belly BBQ lovers only but for those it is like heaven. You get so many side dishes a Banchan, including spicy bean sprouts, onions, kimchi, also ttokbokki and tofu soup. Plus you get cheesy corn. However, only the basic Banchan, pork, and rice is included in the all you can eat. The pork belly is delish and comes with multiple dipping sauces. Goes well with everything else. Oh, you also get lettuce so you can wrap everything. They give you scissors to easily cut pieces. For the best in all you can eat pork belly Korean BBQ this is the place! read more

Looks like Sooda has rebranded into a new restaurant featuring (optional) AYCE pork belly. Can't say there are too many places like this around. Parking is rather limited in the area. There are metered spots. Best to come after 2000, when the parking becomes free. The inside looks a little bit like a nightclub, with the pink/black theme, and funky neon lights. Staff are friendly. They weren't too attentive though. Had to wave them down several times. As of the time of writing, the AYCE pricing is better on weekdays (Monday to Friday). The AYCE comes with unlimited pork belly slices, banchan, mushrooms, and onions. The corn cheese, lettuce, and bean paste stew are limited to 1 order only (additional cost for more orders). 90 minute time limit. The banchan has green onions, regular onions with sauce, pickled turnip, bean sprouts with spicy sauce, and kimchi. Generous portions, decent quality. Goes well with the pork. Corn cheese - nice and gooey, and served in a small iron skillet. This thing disappears quickly though. Bean paste stew - basically a shared bowl of soup. Not sure if there is more than 1 bowl for larger tables, but would hurt to ask. Lettuce - well, it's lettuce. According to the instructions, the pork belly is actually supposed to be wrapped in lettuce with a bit of bean paste smeared on top. It's a bit clunky, but doable. The grills are electric and adjustable, so the heat can be adjusted as needed. They do come by regularly to adjust, but it's not hard to push a button to dial the heat up or down a notch. Buddy and I noticed that the middle of the grill cooks faster than the edges. Something to keep in mind. The staff initially showed us how to cut the slabs of belly into little chunks, but honestly it was way easier to just eat the pigs by the entire slab like a burrito. Honestly, as much as I tried to enjoy the experience, it was mediocre. The provided bowls were too small, so my buddy and I were fumbling trying to assemble the wraps without spilling everywhere. Having plates would've been nice. The bigger problem though was that there's basically only 1 kind of meat. Yes there are 3 types of dipping sauce (salt, tangy, spicy), but at the end of the day it's the same meat again and again. Even with the banchan and stew mixed in, honestly we stopped eating because we got sick of eating just pork belly, not because we were actually stuffed. With that said, nobody left hungry. Honestly I'm not sure what to think. Yes this place is different, but at the same price point, there are other options out there like AYCE hot pot. Maybe try it once and see for yourself. read more

Porker face is located at the old Sooda location along Lougheed Hwy. Came by on a Thursday night and there were lots of available tables. It was $33/person for all you can eat pork belly and your time starts the moment that you sit down so make sure your whole party is there. The meal comes with corn cheese, soup and lettuce which you can get refilled for an additional charge. However the banchan, rice, mushrooms and pork belly is all included in the cost. For each refill they provide one slab of pork belly per person which they then cut into smaller chunks to cook on the trip. The pork belly is pretty cooked so you really just finish it off on the grill to heat it up. I thought the pork belly was over done in some pieces and others were fine. I would have like it if they provided more lettuce because it was literally one leaf per person....two would have been slightly more reasonable I'm not sure I would revisit just because the meal ended up being heavy and I like more variety in my meals but it's worth a try if you love pork belly or want to try it just for the experience. read more

Had a great time at porker face. We thought it would be busy on a Thursday evening but it was actually empty! We got a table for 8 at 6:30pm easily. Ideally you have your whole party there because they start a pretty strict 1.5 hour timer once you sit down and have meat on the table. It's $32.99 on weekday evenings. There is only one thing - unlimited pork belly! They give you rice, lettuce and soup but those are not refillable. However, the side dishes, pork belly and enoki mushrooms are unlimited. Side dishes were tasty - I particularly liked the bean sprouts, pickled radish and green onion. We got a total of 8 refills of pork belly and lots of side dishes between 8 people so we think we made it worth it. read more

All you can eat pork belly -- come hungry! The servers were quick to replenish the pork belly when asked, and they cut it into pieces for the table. The price is good for all you can eat, but be mindful of all the add ons that can raise your cost. read more

Still in soft opening but here is an affordable AYCE Korean BBQ place. It's under $35 for dinner which is awesome. The key is it's all pork belly so if you don't like pork belly then this isn't the place for you! The pork belly and some of the sides are unlimited but you do have a 90 minute limit. The service is awesome too! read more
