“We odered sushi yesterday. This place consistently serves up amazing food. You're going to be surprised and delighted. Before finishing dinner, my parents, two kids and my husband already wanted to order again as we want to try other food on the menu“
“I went hiking on the weekend and visited Namhansanseong Fortress to have lunch on the way down! Because it was the weekend, there was a bit of a wait, but after waiting for about 20 minutes, I was able to get in quickly after being guided by a friendly server.The special sundae soup and stir-fried pods that I always ordered... were delicious any time I ate them!! I thought there was a new menu item, so I ordered seafood pancake and it was crispy and delicious^^When I stop by Namhansanseong Fortress, I always feel happy because I feel like I'm in Korea and a meal welcomes me :)This is a restaurant you won’t regret coming to every day!!! Thank you to the staff who responded so kindly!!^^“
“Did not know what to eat in a Friday evening. Did a Google search for Korean food and this place stood out. Was not sure what to expect. When we got in all the servers are very friendly and kind. ordered the traditional dishes in a Korean restaurant and they were so good. Very authentic , possibly the best seafood pancake i ever had! Very good bibimbap. Food is a bit spicy so you should be aware of that but I do love my spice. Spicy seafood udon was fire. They have some craft beer on tap but next time I should get some Soju! If you like Korean food this place is one of the best in the north shore! Seafood dishes are awesome!“
“This unassuming little ramen shop is absolutely delightful. Good food, with some really interesting Korean-Japanese fusion items on the menu, and great prices! The girl who served me on both visits was so sweet and helpful. This is definitely my new go-to spot for a hot bowl of soup on a wet day.“
“Unassuming little place, minimum decor. We always get take out for this reason. Good chicken, fries and mu (radish) and quick service (always within their commitment of 20 minutes). We like the really spicy one. The chicken is quite salty though (perhaps it’s pre-soaked in a lot of salt water) - we are always so thirsty after our meal. But that minor downside doesn’t stop us from ordering here at least once a month.“
“Portions are very generous and the people there are very nice. Taste good and very close to what you’ll get in Korea for Chinese Korean food. I love the tangsuyuk because its so crispy, they separated the sauce also and as usual you can debate your friends whether you want to pour or dip it lol.“
“THANK YOU Angela!!! You are the shiniest star at that Chicko Chicken!!!Sorry for this long overdue review! We are the group of eight people with two children who visited the store last Saturday night. We were waiting for a large party table at the Korean restaurant next door, but after waiting for 40mins, we were told that they can’t accommodate our large group sue to limited space. While disappointed that we were not able to enjoy the food from that restaurant, especially with two hungry one-year-old who were at dinner time ?,we were hoping to order takeout from this restaurant and eat next door at Chicko Chicken (nobody was dining in at that moment). Angela graciously allowed us to come in and stay so we don’t have to stand outside in the cold winter night and figure out the alternatives. We ordered the take out, and some delicious chicken from Chicko Chicken. It was a memorable night!! Everyone in our group wants to express their sincere appreciation for Angela solving our awkward situation. Your kindness with not be overseen, and you will certainly be bless by your own kindness :)“
“As an absolute food crazed individual I have to say Chef Han's restaurant Kosoo + Raw Bar is one of my favourite restaurants, here and abroad, so far. The chef was away for a while, on his return we visited and it was brilliant as usual. I have never been disappointed only always impressed beyond my expectations. Welcome back Chef Han!“
“I don’t usually write reviews, but this is the best Korean BBQ I have ever had. I’ve lived in and tried Korean BBQ in places like Korea, Toronto, California, and NYC, but this was by far the best, especially for the price. The side dishes were delicious, the meat was high quality, and the service was amazing.Vancouver is very lucky to have Kook!“
“One of my favorite places to go to when craving korean bbq! The food here is absolutely delicious and the server is extremely friendly and kind! The restaurant itself is also clean as well! I highly recommend this place and anyone should come and eat here sometime :)“
“Had japchae, and sooda half classic, and all in all food was delish, so was ambiance and service. However they do not give you a refill on the kimchi which is the not so cool part of a Korean Restaurant. They charge 2.99 for extra side plate of kimchi. All in all good experience, will come back if I can't find another Korean Restaurant open in Gas Town.“
“Unassuming place but a hidden ?.One of the best burgers I've had in vancouver with a slight crispy exterior patty but dripping with juices.Crunchy chicken burger was flavorful and moist. The bomb!Will be back next time I'm in van.“
“Came by for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the gamjatang, kalbitang, boneless Korean snowing cheese fried chicken, tteokbokki and everything was delicious. Huge portions as well, we definitely left with leftovers. Will come back if I'm in the area again.“
“Awesome local spot! Rare to have a place that serves both Korean and Japanese food and both are good! They are very friendly and make you feel at home.I just had the hamachi shabushabu tonight - lots of fresh hamachi with veggies cooked at the table in soup, then they bring rice and egg afterwards to make a rice soup to end the meal with. Delicious!!!“
“❤️?? Oh my… goodness!!! This place is a hidden gem in the area. Their portions for the price is honestly a steal! Quality and flavour of the food here is great as well. My coworkers and I discovered this place as our office moved in the area and discovering Mama’s Rice Bowl has blessed our lunchtime ?The only downside is that they close a tad bit earlier than I’d prefer but, it leaves room for us to desire their food all-the-more. Definitely going to add more details when I order from here again!*** Update:Went in person for pickup and the employees are very kind :) They’re located on the inside of their building and there’s no signage on the front of the building that they’re in. The area when you enter and are ordering is quite small but, they do have tables where you can eat your food and “dine in”. I took a picture of my food after one bite because… I couldn’t wait to eat it, sorry it’s not as aesthetic “
“Not many AYCE Korean BBQ places in the city but this one tops the list! Super clean restaurant, tender cuts of meat and the service is top notch. Pricing is extremely decent considering this is AYCE. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“
“Sushi Howe is small but the people are extremely friendly and the sushi is exceptional. I live close and they always greet me by name and make the sushi quickly. Try the Salmon Combo C and Spicy Crunch Roll. Also the deep fried Burning Sun roll is another favourite.“
“I was happy with the food and the friendly staff. It’s always a bonus when you can choose your own style! Like for example half mozarella and pork or many other options, also toppings like sweet potato or ramen crisp. Top it with your favorite sauce and add some flakes like Parmesan for the final twist. Only sad thing is that you can’t sit in or in front of the place - so it’s mostly a to go snack.Thumbs up, I was full because it was quite a good portion of food.“
“The chicken is amazing BUT…. The sides are ridiculous. When I spend $80 on chicken for 2 of us, I’d expect my $4 side of coleslaw to be more than 3 bites. I will order their chicken again, but never a side dish. They really need to up their side dish game. I like veggies with my dinner but not for $14 for a small handful of kale, or $4 for 2-3 bites of coleslaw.Maybe a 4 star rating is too generous? I don’t know. The chicken is just really good. Pretty pricey, but good.“
“I feel compelled to share my extraordinary dining experience, thanks to the outstanding service provided by the server with glasses. Her meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful consideration made our meal truly exceptional.From the moment we began contemplating our food choices, she asked detailed questions about our preferred flavors, ingredients to avoid, and went the extra mile to recommend dishes tailored to our tastes. The result was a flawless dining experience where every dish resonated with our preferences.Her attentiveness went above and beyond the mere offerings listed on the menu. When my mother first requested hot water, the server not only swiftly fulfilled the order but also demonstrated a keen anticipation of potential discomfort that might arise from the water being too hot. To address this concern, she promptly brought the hot water infused with a single ice cube during the initial serving. Now, on the second request, recognizing that the water had slightly cooled, she refrained from adding ice directly but astutely placed an extra supply of ice on the side. This thoughtful gesture, ensuring flexibility to adjust the water's temperature according to our liking, was truly exceptional. The level of consideration displayed by the server in every detail deeply touched my mother and elevated our dining experience.Moreover, the server continually checked in on our table, ensuring the taste and portion sizes were satisfactory. She consistently refilled our glasses promptly, displaying a genuine concern for our comfort throughout the entire meal.I was so impressed by her service that I was inclined to tip her exclusively. However, she humbly shared that all tips were shared among the staff. Her response, though initially disheartening, was met with a perspective that left us in awe. She conveyed, "Sharing tips with my coworkers is not a sad thing at all. As I focus on providing attentive service to your table, other servers are likely attending to other customers that may have escaped my notice. Thanks to their collective efforts, I might be enjoying greater rewards than I could achieve alone. It's like a team effort that makes everything better."Her response showcased not only her professionalism but also her deep respect for her colleagues. It left us profoundly moved and emphasized the strong sense of teamwork within the restaurant. We left not only with satisfied palates but also with immense appreciation for the server with glasses and the entire team. Kudos to her for making our dining experience not just a meal, but a memorable and heartwarming event.“
“The gimbap, bibimbap, and soondae are my faves here! The owner/staff are extremely friendly and the restaurant is clean. I would even say the gimbap here is better than the ones you can get in Korea. They’re loaded with healthy ingredients with minimal rice and well seasoned. Highly recommended!“
“Food was good, nothing too crazy, they could have a larger variety of sauces to go with the grilled meat. They were quite fast for changing out the grill which was nice. The ventilation in our room was kinda slow, it got Smokey fast. Parking is tight/packed too.“
“The food was so good, we ordered Sooda spicy pork. It was a big portion enough for two ppl. You don’t need to order extra rice for that. I didn’t know it. We ordered extra kimchi fried rice. We needed to pack it togo. Two servers did very great jobs. They came to fill my water glass more than three times plus they helped us to mix rice in the pan. I would recommend this place for my friends.“
“Great place to order chicken from! I have been a loyal customer here for 2 years now, i have been ordering from uber eats. This is the best location so far!!! Never gonna cheat on this location anymore. Best chicken, big servings, always always fresh and hot food. Zero complaints!! 2 servings of boneless chicken feeds my family of 6! Highly recommend. Don’t order from other locations, only this!!!“
“The food is excellent and you can order refills for the side dishes . But keep in mind that the place is small so you might have to wait for a while but it won’t usually take too long. Most of the food is spicy so if you don’t prefer spicy food then you might have to tell them to make the food without the spicy stuff.“
“When I give 5 stars, it's something significant to me. Everything was perfect.The price and foods were on point.- Melon Soda - great- Banana milk - THE BEST- Hash Brown Whammy - honey and bacon... yummy!!- kbbq dog - delicious.There are many other dishes I would like to try as well.“
“Wonderful surprise, we showed up without a reservation and got lucky as a 1h table was available. That was fine by us and we got to discover this little gem. Food was amazing and I've been stalking them on Uber eats since ! Highly recommended, it's a delight! Booking seems to be recommended as well.“
“the food was heavenly and the people were so nice! Especially Nicole. Next time i will bring my family. :)Kid-friendliness: The people who work here give off such warm vibes and i feel welcomed when walking in. I believe it is a safe space for children to dine in without me worrying!“

“Sura is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in downtown. I hardly go to one of them because it’s usually not as good as real Korean foods, but Sura is really good. I usually bring international friends to introduce Korean cuision. I like this place.“
“It is a very diverse Korean restaurant. There are not many people during dinner time, so I didn’t make a special reservation in advance. The prices are generally acceptable and don't feel particularly expensive. The food tastes average, not very delicious, but just like Korean food. The size of the army pot is smaller than expected, so those who order it should pay attention~ The white rice is quite delicious~ It goes well with rice cakes or other dishes.Parking: The neighborhood is a residential area, so you can find quite a few parking spaces on the roadside~“
“I liked it, however it misses some vegetarian options. I had to stay with corn cheese and rice as there wasn't an option of vegetarian barbecue with veggies or something similar. I would say it is "tá bom" (it's good) but it's not "tá ótimo" (it's great)“
“partner and I went before going to Shen Yen.we both had the tasting menu (veg) since some of the fish items on the carnivore menu weren't our particular tastes.food was absolutely amazing. service was incredible. when we told the server we were running low on time they and the kitchen accommodated us. dishes were served with full descriptions. sake flight was served with both descriptions and background which I loved.would go here again for sure and high on my recommendation list to friends. made for a fantastic start to an awesome night“
“Excellent bibimbap and a good portion for the price. The place is a food court so not really nice to sit down. Better to take out unless you want the hot stone meals. I'll come back for the gimbap and japchae. The service is very attentive, they should just be careful adding sauce - some people can't have them because of gluten, not spicy levels!“
“Went around a month ago on a chilly day. We ordered sushi that was delicious and fresh as well as the tofu stew which was a generous serving and was absolutely delightful! Forgot to take pictures of the sushi but we also had karaage and takoyaki which we both loved! We will definitely come back again!!!“
“Stopped here for a quick meal and I got the terimayo to go! SO GOOD!!!! I also asked for extra green onions and they were very nice to add a bit more! This place was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere looked really cozy and welcoming, will definitely dine in next time with my friends!“
“I can't give them anything less than 5, just because of how friendly the staff are and how incredibly delicious the chicken was. The radish was also absolutely amazing as well.Good job to the people back in the kitchen.The only downside was that they did not put any fork, joystick or napkins in the bag, even tho it was take out. C'mone guys, how much are you saving with doing this?“
“The owner is very friendly and explains very well the different options. Food is tasty but the serving amount could be bigger. Notice that if you're not used to spicy(hot) food even the food that the owner claims is not spicy at all will be very spicy for you.“
“We were looking for a place late at night that serves high quality healthy tasty food at a fair price, and we were delighted with this. The handsome server was doing everything himself, serving, cooking, and everything else. The kalbee beef short rib and tacos were incredible. He even made a glass of hot milk for my friends daughter after she had a cry. We will be back.“
“Don't let the exterior fool you, this is a gem of a hole in the wall. The ramen was delicious and well spiced--the flavour and umami of it is great! The chasu and smoked pork are so tender and absolutely fantastic, the pork really does just melt in your mouth. I think the only thing I'd like, is if they were part of a delivery service.“
“It's okay and interesting. The sauce is creamy and rich, but the tappoki in carbonara is quite bland. The chicken is really good! It's juicy, well-battered, and tender. However, I found it unpleasant that the server asked for payment TOO EARLY because I was trying to enjoy my meal and chatting with a friend. The meal was just served about 8 minutes and we haven't finished it yet.“
“Cheese pork tonkatsu/cutlet was good and worth its value ($21). Cheese ball was different but delicious. Dolsot Bibimbap wasn’t worth the $20. Adding on tofu or beef would be $4 extra.There is a discount if you order for takeout on their site. Parking isn’t easy.“
“The only issue was that the server wasn’t speaking English very well so they got my order wrong but they were really nice about it and changed it for me. The food was very fresh and delicious. It’s a little over priced compared to other Korean restaurants but very good quality.“
“Excellent location to grab some delicious Korean-style fried chicken for take-out. The seasoning and texture for the original flavor are just right, tender meat inside and not overly crunchy skin outside. Recommended to call and order ahead of time to avoid waiting for up to 20 minutes in your car.“
“I made lunch reservation for 15 people a day before and they were so nice to accommodate all of us, half an hour before the lunch, I called them back to ask if it's possible to add 5 more people and they again said yes! Amazing service, best Korean pancake we have ever tasted!“
“For grilled chicken, we ordered Secret BBQ, Honey Butter Garlic Fries and Roseto! They also added rice cakes and ramen to the roasted chicken! It’s really delicious! The roasted chicken is so delicious and juicy! The cheese flavor of Rosetto is really strong! However, I felt a little tired towards the end of the meal. There was no waiter to be found throughout the entire journey, and the service was average. The price is really super cheap! Less than 20 before tip!“
“yes yes yes! I’m in the neighborhood and I suggest this place to everyone who stops by. they make everything fresh so it takes a little bit of time, but they warn you ahead of time and recommend calling before! this means that all the food is perfectly cooked and delicious when you pick it up fresh. the fries are super good and the chicken is so juicy! every flavour i’ve had has slapped and I will continue to give rave reviews to friends!Kid-friendliness: Picky eater options“
“I had a fantastic experience at Ma Dang Goul. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dining experience.The food was outstanding. Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the bibimbap. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh, and the chef's skill was evident in every bite.What truly set Ma Dang Goul apart, however, was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was memorable.Overall, I highly recommend Ma Dang Goul to anyone looking for delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. I will definitely be returning!“
“Tried this late-night Korean spot. Super chill vibes, cozy setup. The boss is hustling, and you can feel the good vibes.Food? Top-notch Korean goodness. Perfect for those late-night munchies. Totally recommend it for a laid-back, tasty time. ??“
“I found out about the place from a friend. We came as a group and we are truly happy with the food. They are tasty and the price is pretty decent and affordable. You will have a variety of Korean food choices. We were welcomed the moment we entered and the persons who served us were also very accommodating. We didn’t really wait long and the wait is really worth it. It is a best place to hang out with friends, colleagues and family to share sumptuous food. Highly recommended to those enjoy eating and hang out together. Surely will come back here and bring friends.“
“After going to Capilano Reservoir today, I saw a Korean fried chicken restaurant nearby and ordered two-point fried chicken. The original taste was the same as what I get in Korea. I was very surprised.Parking: Later I discovered that you can park on the roadside.Kid-friendliness: The store is spacious with lots of room to move around“
