While visiting Calgary for work, I had a mad hankering for some Korean food. My meetings got out a…read morebit late so I looked up late night Korean food spots and found Namsan... which was a 26 minute walk from my hotel one way. My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

Service was good and several water jugs were brought to the table. - Banchan - kimchi, sliced potato, mung bean sprouts, daikon, fish cake, hot dog and pickled onion. Nothing memorable. - Soon doo boo jjigae (#63) ($15.50) - soft tofu stew was the blandest I've had. No depth or complexity. - Gahm jah tang (#65) ($16.50) - pork bone stew was also bland and disappointing. - Bulgogi bibimbop (#25) ($16.00) - rice didn't get crispy. Decent enough but standard fare. - LA galbi (#54) ($26.50) - several pieces were quite fatty. Okay but have had better. Kor wouldn't be on my return list.

My family doesn't go out to eat Korean food a lot so I was excited to find a place nearby for…read morelunch. We shared the bulgogi, chicken fried rice, and fried chicken. The bulgogi was delicious, and not too sweet. It even comes with side dishes, which you can ask the staff to refill. Chicken fried rice tasted very buttery, not my favorite to be honest. The fried chicken was great! We got half and half since half the family likes spicy, the other half doesn't so it was perfect. The chicken was really juicy and there was a lot of meat. Really clean, open space. The staff members were very attentive, excellent service!

Dropped by this gem that was a short walk from the hotel -…read more I think portions for pricing was very fair - wish I also got the chicken - Anyways - service was slightly slow from the time you order and receive the food, however the food was super fresh, so I would assume it was basically made to order - so I think the wait was fine. It was pretty spacious with decent amount of seating , also a self serve water dispenser -the place is kept quite clean. Bulgogi Poutine really hit the spot, great flavours and fries was still crispy. Chicken Katsu bowl, was also very delicious - the mayo mixed nicely with everything. The bao buns, was pretty good as well - however the beef on this one was just a tad dry - I would re-visit to explore the menu again - if I find myself in Calgary again!

The area is pretty run down looking - but to be fair, most of calgary seemed to look pretty run…read moredown. There's maybe 10-15 parking spaces outside- but when I went most of them were empty. The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.

The Banchan/side dishes were enjoyable. Marinated soft boiled egg, cabbage salad, pickled cucumbers, tofu (delicious), kimchi, and pickled radish. Had 8 different cuts of meat and found the galbi, bulgogi and skirt steak to be tasty. Didn't enjoy the pork belly, but I rarely do, and found the spicy pork to be bland. Beef soup was delicious as was the egg casserole. Cheesy corn tasted a lot like canned corn. Wings were cooked perfectly and wished they had more of a kick. They were supposed to be sweet and spicy but I found them too sweet. Complimentary Mango crushed ice was inventively playful and a joy to eat. All of us tried it and thought it was light and not too sweet. Refreshing.

It is quite a large space and can handle large groups. We had a regular table but saw that you could have your own room that had sliding door for privacy. Our table also had a burner so you can cook your own food if you want. We opted for the restaurant to cook. Everything had large portions as you can tell from the photos. We ordered the Daeji Mori Gukbab, Donkatsu, and LA Galbi. Everything was well prepared, flavourful and delicious. LA Galbi is one of my favourites and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and friendly. Each table had a button which would call someone to come to your table. This was nice as whenever you needed someone you can press the button. No need to wait to flag someone down. It wasn't particularly busy this day but I could see where this would come in handy. We definitely, will try and come back again.

The young woman waiting on our table did a good job answering questions and was quick to refill the banchan plates. There were four of us. We ordered loads of dishes and they were all very good. This is not gourmet K food. It does not put on airs. It was pretty much Korean home cooking scaled up for a restaurant. One recommendation for the owner: some sort of dessert would be a good addition to the menu, even if it's only ice cream. Yakgwa (honey cookies) with vanilla ice cream would be even better.
