Recently visited for the first time and i decided to try their seafood udon - it was delicious! The soup itself was so rich and flavorful. Would definitely come back here!

Cute little Korean restaurant downtown near the train. We ordered the duck salad and bibimbap with beef. The mustard dressing on the duck salad was very tasty, although I think the duck might just be the cold smoked duck you can get at most grocery stores. The bibimbap had super tasty mushrooms and kimchi in it, and the stone bowl is always a treat (be mindful they charge $2 more if you want the stone bowl).
The side dishes were pretty good (the bean curd is my favourite), but I think I might have wanted extra kimchi instead of the little cut up hot dogs as a side dish. They were good too (as was the corn salad that also came as a side), but I just love kimchi!

I've been to The Apron more than five timesâprobably around tenâbecause I know the food is consistently good. Iâve even posted about it on Facebook Foodie YYC to share this great Korean spot with others!
However, during my last two visits, the quality has dipped a bit. In particular, the Apron Beef Tartare didnât taste as fresh as usual, and it seems theyâve swapped the traditional pear/apple for cucumber, which just isnât the same.
Service has always been the weakest point hereâconsistently a 2/10, whether the place is packed or nearly empty. We often have to wave someone down just to get water refills. On May 5th, the server forgot to properly submit our order, so we waited about an hour for the spicy chicken feet stewâpretty disappointing.
Still, I keep coming back because the food is genuinely great. Chef/owner, please consider putting more focus on serviceâyour kitchen does amazing work, and it deserves to be matched by the front of house.

Recently tried out this place after hearing some recommendations from my friend. And here are some dishes that impress us:
đ„© Beef Tartare Bibimbap â Fresh, buttery beef tartare over warm rice, topped with crispy bits and a golden yolk. A perfect mix of textures!
đ Spicy Chicken Feet â Not for the faint of heart! Packed with heat and flavor, this one is a true Korean classic.
đŠ Smoked Duck Salad â Tender, smoky, and paired with a refreshing crunchâso good!
đ· Pork Intestine with Tteokbokki â One of my absolute favorites! The spicy-yet-sweet sauce was addictive, coating the chewy rice cakes and crispy pork intestine perfectly.
Absolutely add this place to my favorite list whenever I'm craving for some Korean foods in town.

Very bad service. Didnât even ask the level of spice and when we couldnât eat it, said they would just water it down. A big no. Very very bad service. The food is good only for people who can take insane amounts of spice. Itâs not even tasty. Itâs just all spice. Very bad food. Pathetic servers.
I loveeeeeeee this place ,Itâs a cozy place with amazing food and nice people ,absolutely love .

I have eaten here for the 3rd time and I love it every time. I especially like the apron's beef tartare. I love the chicken feet soup. But it's too spicy. I hope the kitchen will reduce the spiciness of the chicken feet soup. It's perfect. I will continue to visit this Korean restaurant because the food here is delicious.

One of the best Korean food Iâve had in a while!
I actually came here once several years ago, but food werenât memorable. But Iâm pleasantly surprised when I visited again this time!
We ordered raw beef for appetizer. The marination was sweet, but there were fried onions and cucumbers in it which is very refreshing, the meat was very tender. The intestine rice cake also did not disappoint me. The intestine was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the rice cake was chewy in a good way. And the tuna rice balls, surprisingly turned out to be my favorite order today. They added fried onions and sesame seeds and make every bite nice and crunchy!
Everything was so delicious that even though we were full, we couldn't help but keep putting them in our mouths. Will be coming back for sure!

The food is tasty and good, a little bit expensive but is no big deal since we split the bill. But itâs kinda cold the day I visited with my friends. They have heating systems in there but itâs not quite enough and we still felt cold inside. Love the corn cheese by the wayđ„°

The Apron Korean Kitchen is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean cuisine! The menu is filled with delicious dishes that are perfect for sharing with a group of friends. The flavors are on point, and everything feels fresh and homemade.
The atmosphere is great, with a cozy, welcoming vibe that pairs perfectly with the K-pop music playing in the background. It really adds to the fun, energetic environment. The service is also top-notch â friendly and attentive. If you're craving a good meal and want a place that brings people together, this is definitely a place to check out. Highly recommend it for a great dining experience!
