I have been there for lunch and there are great lunch specials. Many different choices on their menu. Our waitress, Seraphine, was so helpful with describing and helping us narrow down our choices. She was attentive the entire time. I mentioned that we were catching the ferry and she ensured that we would be on time! The Japchae appy was huge and flavourful. Our favourite was the fried chicken Kim bop. The crab and tuna bowl was like a poke bowl. Everyone was friendly and tables were spaced out so you cannot hear others. Lots of parking in front of the restaurant. Also, they have a market next door that you can buy some of their items to make at home. We will definitely be returning!

And highly recommend their makgeolli flight if you are rice wine lover.

We were seated after a short wait, as there was only one server. They were friendly and attentive. They have quite a bit of ramen options ranging from tonkotsu to curry ramen. I went with the basic tonkotsu ramen and added an egg. I wanted to be able to taste the broth without anything extra. My aunt got their seafood ramen (Nagasaki champon). I was quite surprised by the portion and toppings for each. There was plenty of noodles. The pieces of pork were large and I liked the variety of toppings. The seafood one had soooo much seafood ( small shrimp, larger ones, squid, and mussels) and had plenty of veggies. Both ramens were quite filling. Typically I don't drink all the ramen broth due to it being too salty or rich, but I found their broth had just the right balance. It was flavourful and rich, but not overly in either. Although at first I thought the price was a bit high, the quality and quantity justify it. Overall, it was a great meal to end our day on the island. I'll definitely be a returning customer.

Location is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Sign is super bright so you definitely don't miss it. Walked in at five and it was empty. Got my order pretty pronto. The couple that run it are very friendly and I was even asked if I wanted a fork or chopsticks, to which I replied chopsticks!! I was looking forward to their version of chicken chow mein, S&S pork and beef chop suey. When I got home no chopsticks. The bright orange S&S sauce threw me off and the bits of what I believe to be chicken was tossed on top. The only saving grace was the beef and vegetables which were tasty. Either use real chicken or don't call it chicken chow mein. And I don't want heavily deep fried pieces of fat. I would have preferred actual pork. I wouldn't order from them agai

Best food in Nanaimo!…read more I dined in on my lunch break having seen the good reviews online. I was not disappointed! The quiet establishment (on Friday around 2:00) had a pleasant and clean atmosphere with some K-Pop music playing on a TV situated in a corner. The menu is clear and easy to order from. If you struggle with pronunciations, each order has a corresponding number and an image of each dish. I ordered the SO BULGOGI DEOP-BAP. It was phenomenal! The beef and rice were cooked perfectly had a slight sweetness to it, the kimchi had a perfect spiciness, the bean sprouts and cabbage were fresh, and the romaine lettuce with the chili dressing was delicious and sweet. In addition to the atmosphere and the food, the prices I considered very fair for the quality and quantity of the food. Lastly, the service was good. This will definitely be one of my #1 spots to eat on Vancouver Island! I am so pleased to have finally been introduced to this culinary gem. Incredible!

This place was so good, we went two days in a row. I will keep saying it, Nanaimo... you have some…read moreof the best Korean food I have ever had. Another one of those Yelp finds, needed a place, didn't know where to go, this one was glaring at me, so I took my wife in tow and went. This one on the outside is odd, as it is attached to a motel, and yes.... the parking is on the motel side. The main door to the restaurant is also next to the motel, and when you come in it's got this newage wooden feel, and you know you are here. We saw many seasonal food pictures up of things that are not on the menu, yet for the first night we went for the menu and ordered a pork rib dish and also their steamed egg. When the banchan came, I knew we were in for a great meal. There is this mixed salad with some sort of bean sauce they use as salad sauce.... this dish alone was a solid win. All the banchan was good, and our server would come by and asked if we needed any more. When the ribs came they were on a hot plate, just sizzling away with the white onions under the meat just caramalizing hard waiting for you to get in there and eat everything. A few minutes later the steamed egg came in a stone bowl, and our server used a spoon to separate the sides of the egg from the bowl, the steam was intense, it was a cold night, this was exactly what we needed and wanted for a meal. There was a lot of food, and we had to pack most of it to go, and I thanked our server, and asked him if we were to come back.... what would you recommend, and he pointed to the chicken noodle soup they only do for winter.... you can guess what we ordered the following day... and yes we came back for lunch. The chicken noodle soup was amazingly deep, and it is cliche to say, but very homey, comforting, clean, hearty, it had it all.... we were as happy as we were the day before, and I can't wait to come back to Nanaimo and come back to this place. Also.. if you like popular Korean-pop music.. don't worry you'll listen to it on the loop as I think I heard APT three times!
