Korean BBQ place in the Korean-centric Hanin Village plaza in Coquitlam. Went for dinner on a Saturday and luckily didn't have to wait. Probably went a little earlier than other folks, as the place the fill up while we were dining. Mid-small size interior. Each table has the fume hood and the round grill plate in the middle for cooking the meats, with pull down blinds as dividers. We got a selection of beef to grill. Beef tongue, rib meat, and round. All were pretty good on the grill and the meat seems good quality. You get three dipping sauces and some veggie garnish to eat the meat with. In addition, we also got their beef tartare, which is seasoned beef chopped into small strips, with a raw egg on top, and seaweed, lettuce and pear pieces on the bottom. Mixed together it was actually pretty refreshing, and no gamey/bloody taste at all. Finally, also had their seafood pancake. Their pancake is a bit different than other Korean seafood pancakes I've tried. It's thicker with crispy strips on the outside, and a doughy seafood center. I liked it. Overall the food was good. Ended up paying $75 per person before tips, so definitely not cheap. read more

We went here Saturday night around 8:30pm for the 20% off happy hour special. It wasn't too busy luckily as we were starving. As a group of 3, we ordered the couple set which had a surprisingly good variety of meat and was enough to fill us up! Love the quality and refillable sides. The only thing that we were surprised about was how bright it was inside, and didn't feel like it for the ambience for kbbq. Otherwise, everything was well worth it especially with the discount. read more

Located in the Hanin Village plaza - plenty of parking - also pretty transit friendly if you decide to walk over from Lougheed. Place gets busy very quickly - so you will want to reserve ahead of time if possible - as the wait can get pretty long. Ventilation for our table was so bad - just kept blowing fumes right into our face - smelled good, but the excessive smoke a bit much. Service was friendly - However, very very slow - just getting the basic tea/water and utensils was a wait - and the wait for the raw meat was even longer -. I find the combos here pretty pricey - not much value for dollar in my opinion - portions were pretty small - even food at other customers tables looked a little lackluster - Don't get me wrong the food was fresh and tasty - In terms of value and service - I won't be able to give it higher then a 3. - most likely will skip this place - as the korean scene in the area is very competitive. read more

Maybe because it's located in Coquitlam, it feels like a truly Korean-style BBQ. Even though it's a BBQ place, the soy-marinated crab was also delicious. It's a great spot to go out for a team dinner with coworkers after work. read more

It took 2 attempts to get into the door at Toe Dam. The first time didn't work out as it was quite popular showing why there's a time limit for customers. The 2nd time we got a table and a chance to chow. We were a group of 6 for this meal. We went with the premium set to pretty much make sure we had a ton of food. It came with a ton of raw meats along with salad, 2 soups, 2 pancakes, japchae, and sides. We had to work pretty hard as a group to finish all the food. Presentation for a kbbq spot was solid as were all very excited when the next plate arrived despite the spacing issue we quickly found ourselves in. I don't think there was a standout but were haply with all the food. Service was good. The staff were very accommodating of all long it took for us to clear off plates. We managed to get refills of sides fairly handily. We were celebrating a birthday and they were nice enough to let us borrow their refrigerator. Overall, great experience at Toe Dam. We were very happy with the food and it lived up to our expectations. read more

Wanted to try a Korean BBQ restaurant I haven't tried before and this didn't disappoint! Got two portions of meat, seafood soon tofu, and a rice. The soup and rice were quite big portions. Would definitely recommend soon tofu soup here! The space felt quite open, with the seating spaces quite separated from each other which was nice. read more

Location wise the place is good. Walkable for sure. We went around lunch time made it just before it got a little busy. So that was nice. Service did keep up. Nice cozy place on the inside, food was good quality. The staff was so nice they told us how to eat the food exactly haha. Will visit again. read more

This was a gorgeous feast. Maybe we ordered too much but everything was flavourful and satisfying. Too much hassle to order BBQ but their sides are worth trying as well. From their ultra thick seafood pancake to their extremely chewy japchae, their clean but beefy short rib soup with succulent pieces of meat, to the pungent and grilled rich pork intestines, it was the perfect meal to satisfy those cravings. read more

Made a reservation to this restaurant asking for a table of 10. They said they will separate us into two tables. I said ok. Showed up the next day with my party, but they said they don't accept our large size group. I said I made reservation already for two tables. The servers talked about the situation and admitted their mistake. I think they booked too many reservations that night so I told them, we will fit our party at one table. We turned out to be 8 people so we squished all into one table. Unfortunately they gave us the table that had a massive pillar against the table. 5 minutes later, another table opened up and we asked to go there for more space, but their air head waiter said that table was reserved. Two people sat there to eat. Other reviews say that this place has the lowest quality service, I would have to agree. Before seating, the servers pressured us to order quickly and pushed us to order the Luxury Set, which is $300 and meant for 4 people (it came with only 4 rice which is how I knew). We have 8 people. The cost definitely was not good value. I would rate this place 1 star, but at least the flavour was ok. Drove all the way from Richmond to try this place. Took one photo of the luxury set beef plate. Does that feed 8 people? $300 !!! read more

First time trying, we ordered the family set with an order of crab on the side. Taste 1/1* Meat were fresh, marinated meat were tasty, and soup was great, though wife thought was slightly over salted. Crab was amazing, highly recommend! Value 0/1* Slightly on the expensive side, each person came out to $60+ with no beverages Service 1/1* Quick and friendly, lots of space for stroller too Cleanliness 1/1* Spotless Overall/Revisit 1/1* Yes would revisit Paying for ambience? MAYBE Above and beyond? 0/+1* NO On a side note, their pork belly are not served with a side of lettuce, also they don't have any draft beer, so if those are something you are craving, may be disappointed. read more

I had meet up with some group of friends for dinner. Toedam is a great place to have Korean dinner so I was excited. We ordered the following: 2 bowls of Makgooksu ($14.95 each), Yang Gopchang Jeongol (large $57.95), Spicy Jukkumi ($30.95). They were all pretty good. Makgooksu was flavourful and refreshing. Yang Gopchang Jeongol was also tasty. Spicy Jukkumi (spicy baby octopus) was tasty and little spicy. Loved the chewy texture as well. I couldn't stop sipping soup from Yang Gopchang Jeongol. The intestines in the soup added more flavours to the soup which was nice. Also the staff remembered our request by omitting Yang Gopchang. Banchan selection was good too it had onion pickles, kelp (or seaweed I think), pickled radish and spicy radish (Kkak doo gi). FYI, this resto is hot and humid in summer. Similar to Bbong restaurant next door I assume there's no air conditioning. Rooms and dining tables are socially distanced. Don't forget to leave shoes outside the dining room(with the sliding door) if you're the first timer. Big thanks for the staff to wear masks. We felt bad to keep staff waiting for more than 30 minutes. read more

Came in as a party of 5. The restaurant was clean and spacious, some of the tables were divided by blinds which I liked. Came in specifically for the raw crab and it did not disappoint. Service was a little slow but that was probably because we did order quite a bit. The cold noodle combo came with a pork rib side and to be honest was disappointed by the amount of meat... it was only like 4 pieces of meat in a plate of veggies. The crab and beef tofu soup was the star of the show! Loved both and will definitely come here again read more

I'm always craving for Korean marinated raw crab. So on my friend's recommendation, I came here to try out their marinated crab! They were super meaty and well-marinated. I also love the roe. Since the crabs are on the saltier side, it's best to pair it with rice. Aside from the crab, we also ordered the premium set. The set includes 4 types of meat cuts, marinated beef short ribs and chicken, seafood pancake, bean paste soup, as well as marinated raw crab. The meat quality is excellent, I also really enjoyed the bean paste soup. However I do think the seafood pancake is too thick and a little bit undercooked. This set is for 3-4 people but I do think the amount of food can actually feed 4-5! read more

I made the trip to Coquitlam to specifically try the crab. Although the crab is good, the entire dish did not contain the head (which is obviously the best part). I got a dish full of legs and on the menu pictures, it shows the head as the focus. Confronted manager and she apologized and said pictures are just pictures. Although it may of been bad luck but it was also bad service with how she dealt with the situation. read more

Toe Dam is a Korean style BBQ place which offers very good duck BBQ. You can order whole or half duck set course. I ordered 1/2 duck course and it came with ample duck for BBQ and duck tang (soup) together with many side dishes and Korean lettuce wraps. My wife and I were totally full after this meal. Duck meat here is always of high quality and tang is delicious. Side dishes however can use some improvement. If you enjoy Korean style duck BBQ this is the place to go. read more

Just a warning for people who wants to eat at this place. When menu a and menu b said minimum order of 2 or more per menu, it actually means that you are going to order the same item twice like if you want the number twelve then you have to get two number twelves read more

If you're looking for a crazy fresh duck BBQ course meal, Toedam is the place to try it! I was hesitating at first cause I've only tried Chinese BBQ duck but my father suggested so we ordered a day in advance and I'm pleasantly surprised. My husband is a bit non adventitious when it comes to non beef or pork or chicken, so we ordered an extra side order of Samgyupsal (Korean side pork belly) and he was happy. The servers were great, especially when it was packed but FYI: this is a Korean BBQ joint, so don't wear anything too fancy or leave it inside your car. They have hangers for your jackets as well do provide aprons if needed, but guaranteed you'll smell like a piece of walking beef jerky when you walk out! lol Will be back soon! read more

After the gym, we were starving, so had some of that Korean BBQ craving that could only be satisfied by going deep into Coquitlam Korea town. SUMMARY: Fast, attentive service, with really great cuts of meat for BBQ. The only downside is that similar to most Korean BBQ, it's not cheap. Come check this place out if you're in the neighbourhood. FOOD: 4 stars. We ordered the pork belly, bulgogi (marinades beef), kimchi fried rice, and enjoyed the assortment of free side dishes. Next time we'll try the short ribs. We didn't try any of the alcoholic offerings. SERVICE: 4 stars. The server came and changed the hot plate three times, and refilled our side dishes. read more

Another Korean restaurant gem in Coquitlam. It was quite a small restaurant. Make sure you sign your name at the entrance as they won't attend to you. We ordered the half roasted duck bbq with duck soup and beef intestines. They gave us 4 romaine lettuce for the bbq since we had 4 people. It would have been nice to get more of it. Basically, you'd do a lettuce wrap of the meat, garlic, pepper, and dip your wrap in the sauce they gave you. Delicious!! The beef intestines dish was ok. If you're looking to do their duck specialty, I'd recommend the whole duck one instead as it comes with duck stew. The lunch combos look quite good. Would definitely be back for more authentic Korean food. read more

Two thumbs up！ we had lunch at this restaurant twice and were impressed by their delicious Bbq menu both times. We had their lunch special pork n beef. Both set menu comes well prepared meats with side dishes; marinated soft shell crabs, amazing fluffy steamed egg, 2 salads with house dressing which we absolutely love, the kimchi stew was delicious with rice perfect to finish the meal. Two thumbs up also for serving staff, not only they're friendly, they even switched music for us to play our favourite BTS hits !! We have been to all restaurants in Korean town. This small family restaurant really deserves our support! We are not Korean n this is my first review on yelp read more

My brother and his wife were in search of the best cold noodles in town. My wife suggested they try Toe Dam. His wife is from Harbin in China, which is pretty close to Korea so they were hoping for something that hit home. This was the right place, their particular brand of buckwheat noodle was almost exactly what they were looking for! I on the other hand, had the Gaibi, which was pretty good in comparison to other Korean restaurants. I would come back here again. The only concern I had was them wanting you to take off your shoes to sit in the booth. I know it's a customary thing, but in the summer I rarely wear socks and it just didn't seem hygienic to me. Next time I'll wear socks! read more

This place provides good bbq - the only thing is you have to order two servings - cheapest was $18 for pork belly. Ample side dishes, great salty sauce to go with the bbq, prompt service... suggest you come at least 4 people to try different kinds. Recommended read more

Not the most amazing flavours but the portion and price for lunch is pretty good. A lunch set menu is averages to $11, comes with soup, rice bowl in a stone pot and side dishes. It's enough to feed 2 people. The food tasted is solid. My friend ordered the soup with rice and it came with lots of filling. The interior is cute giving every group of diner their own privacy. read more

I've been coming here for years and it seems like something has happened to the management/ownership of this restaurant recently. Servers are trying their best but the food comes out extremely slow, portion has gotten smaller, and the good servers who used to be here all the time have disappeared. Lunch special that used to come out super quickly now takes almost 45 minutes. Taste doesn't seem as good either. Too bad as this place used to be one of my favorite korean place around the area. read more

Went and tried this place with a group of friends. Overall food isn't too bad, portions were quite small for the price we paid for. I wouldn't recommend going with a large group of people since most of us were not completely full after. read more

Foods are ok, not particularly outstanding. Quality of service is rather disappointing, as it felt like waiters are not quite tune into what customers are asking. I would not repeat again. read more

Portions: Their portions got soooo much smaller. I could barely find any bones in my pork bone soup. Taste: Same old same old. Burnt the beef to crisp. Ugh. Hence the 2 stars. Price: Not that satisfied. Considering it's in a relatively cheaper of areas (Koreatown) and lots of other good value places to go, still came to about 55 bucks for 4 ppl and we weren't even full. Service: The waitresses throw the menu on the table and the same goes for the bill (we didn't even ask for it, but we got the hint and got out of there). Not my favourite place for sure. Not going back. read more

Came here with my bf and his family for dinner one weekend night. I have to say asides from the fact that there is a lot that I can't eat on the menu and the price is slightly high I would say I give this place a like. We had a reservation for 6:45 PM and we ran a bit late but we still got a table while about 10 people were waiting at the door. We got a booth where we needed to take our shoes off. Feels very authentic already. There was like maybe a dozen worth of tables but tables that were big enough to fit 12.The place was full of Koreans and I believe we were the only family that was Chinese. But that's ok cause their servers all speak enough English to understand what we wanted to order and what we don't want like my sesame allergy. Shortly after we sat down we were able to order. The menu was some what old and confusing to understand as their english translation sounded a bit odd. There were a few things that we wanted in a Korean restaurant that they lacked. For a group of 6 of us, we ordered a seafood pancake, a pork belly bbq, spicy octopus, beef bbq and a side order of kimchi fried rice. Everything was pretty good but the fried rice. The rice was kinda meh to me. Like I was able to make it myself from a bag of kimchi sauce. I'm not usually someone to have spicy food but I still felt that the octopus was really good though it did have a lot more veggies than octopus. I am to say they gave us really good customer service. When I mentioned that i have a sesame allergy not only the server told me but this lady who I believe is the owner came out to tell me that half the things we ordered I can't eat. My allergy isn't deadly, so I told her it was fine. But she worries so for one of the sauces she told me to just have it with salt instead of the sauce. How nice of her to care. Overall, I believe this is a mama and papa kinda restaurant where it seems to always be line ups. There were at least 6 people in line when we left and the place wasn't that big either. I suggest trying this place out if you are pretty much in Korean Town. I know there is a lot to choose from in the area but this one is worth a try. read more
