Secret Garden Korean Buffet

Went here for dinner but I don't think it's worth the extra cost so I would say if you can go for their lunch special, it would be more worth it.

My favourites at this buffet was the Fried Chicken, BBQ Chicken, Japchae and Fried Mandu. Their korean fried chicken is well done, extremely crispy despite still being saucy. I would recommend you try a little bit of everything since they were all pretty decent. If you enjoy eating cheesy things, try their bulgogi quesadilla.

The view and location is quite nice too, getting seated near the windows is great if you have kids. There is also a service button at each table so they won't come in and check on you. The staff will occasionally come and clean your table. Definitely worth checking out at least once if you really need to fill up. Quite spacious as well for larger group accommodations.

The rudest staff i have ever seen, I liked the food so I went back to the after for lunch, but they interrupted my table 2 times both the elder woman and the elder gentleman who seem to be the managers or owners after 30 minutes saying that if there’s food left over, I’ll be charged which I wasn’t even halfway through my meal. It was super strange to have them visit my table like that. Then the absolutely rudest possible server brought me coffee, which you asked for cream and sugar and both containers seemed to be sugar and she failed to explain that one of them is clean so I had to wait for my coffee and it was super cold and then I asked her for cream, She said oh it’s obvious one of these identical jars is cream powder, and the other is sugar which it was not at all obvious, oh my God she was so rude and she started having a full on argument in front of people with me over coffee for God sakes, which I said, bring me another one out and I will happily pay the four dollars; Some cultures do not have any respect and I am shocked how awful they are representing Korea because I visit Seoul all the time And what a wonderful country and people But oh my God, this restaurant does not present anything polite or hospitable; They are super rude. Oh my God they are so rude. I literally have tears in my eyes riding this as they destroyed and ruined my dining experience.

Good variety and quality for buffet style food. The fried chicken, soups, and traditional Korean drink were surprisingly delicious. A staff member asked if I wanted some more green beans when they were running low, and she actually delivered a fresh bowl to my table! Would recommend for the value and when you’re craving Korean food 👍

An excellent choice if you are looking for a reasonably priced buffet. The premises were immaculate and the washrooms very clean. A good selection of proteins, veggies and rice and noodles which were constantly being refilled. The staff were quick to refill drinks and remove used dishes from the tables. The food quality overall was decent. The Korean fried chicken (both spicy sauced and dry) were excellent. Desserts were chocolate and vanilla ice cream, cantaloupe, cookies. 10% discount if you are 60+. A good experience overall.

Everything here was awesome — the food, the service, the atmosphere, all equally great! The place was super clean, and the staff were so friendly, attentive, and totally on it. Can’t ask for more!

We had brunch and enjoyed it. There's a lot of varieties and selections. You'll get 10%off if you're 60 yrs old and up. Prime location, easy access by bus and skytrain. This beautiful place can be great for small party ( private rooms), lunch meetings, birthdays 🎂 etc. Will eat there again with my friends 🧡

Great value for casual dining with kids and family. Went for lunch to catch up with a family friend and was a good time considering a commercial buffet. Good to support Korean Canadians in this economy and the owner was kind and attentive.

Nice and clean restaurant with good service.

However, not much variety of selection. lots of carbs, didn’t see any beef entree for lunch, only had 1 fish dish and no shrimp.

Also, didn’t taste much seafood in the seafood pancake.

There are better value Korean AYCE in Vancouver area.

We came to this location at 8:35 and they refused for buffet won't reccomended them at all the customer service was not good pretty disappointed.

Me and my boyfriend’s fave place. Love the food and atmosphere. Just make sure you get there on the earlier side of lunch because sometimes the food runs a little low towards the end.

Very nice place! All the food is good and kept fresh, with a lot of variety. The service is great as well and the place is very clean overall!

Had good time at makgeolli class with Vanmak and had good food here. All the food selection was good. Worth to come back again.

I searched online to find Korean restaurants near the Vancouver area. This is the best Korean buffet in Canada. My family enjoyed good Korean dishes and atmosphere. Thanks!

The food was surprisingly very good and I find that everything was quite fresh! And for the amount you pay, you really get your moneys worth with all the variety. Totally recommend and I’m for sure coming back!
