Pretty decent and authentic Korean restaurant in North Richmond. We tried the 6 person combo and there was a lot of food! It's cooked in the kitchen instead of BBQ'ing yourself, which is fine for us.
We ordered a little extra just in case and we probably didn't need to as the portions are fairly generous.
Lots of tables and parking, but we went during lunch, so it's hard to say if reservation is needed.

These guys deserve more attention. We got a 2-person hotpot and man the portions are HUGE. You could fit a basketball in the pot they brought, and it was all very delicious. Worthwhile!

Weekend dinner with friends, we were craving for bbq, but the place we wanted to go has a 2-3 hour wait, so we have decided to get Korean bbq
This was my first time here, it was surprisingly good.
Service was very good, they were a little behind when they got busy. Side dishes kept coming the whole night
Food was very good. Meat was very well marinated, soup was good, seafood pancakes were crispy
Decor is a little dated, but give it a Korean vibe

Had a late dinner of Pork bone soup, it was very good and my wife had the dumpling soup which was also excellent. Service was fast and friendly. We were offered extra kimchi and other garnish for our food a couple of times. The kimchi was excellent! There is the Korean BBQ option if you have the time to cook your own meal.

I really like their food selection. Portion sizes were larger than I expected. Oxtail soup was great and seafood fried rice was good.
Hands-down, the most unwelcome I’ve felt any establishment on earth. Won’t be back.

5 of us ordered 1 bento box, 3 person bbq combo, and stone bibimbop without drinks totally about $200 Canadian. The bulgolgi was everyone’s favorite. It was juicy, tender and the sauce was delicious. The bibimbop was good but not amazing. The seafood tofu soup was flavorful and the bento box was almost okay. The banchan was subpar compared to other Korean restaurants in the area. The food came to the table very fast which was great but service was rushed. It felt like the server was in such a hurry that she didn’t have time to be friendly or safe. At one point she came to change the grill pan and left a piece of raw meat dangling and dripping juice over our dishes which was pretty unsanitary.

Jjambbong is always my go to at this place Other recommendations personally include the steamed Korean dumplings (huge portion) and Gal bi Tang. Generally foods are all very delicious here and well authentically made.
Try lunch menu for a starter and of course bbq is amazing.
Update: try the Nak-Ji ddol sot bop (octopus hot stone rice dish) I am really giving 5+ review for this. Too good!
Jjam bbong noodle is a must. Best in class!

It was my second time visiting and got served by excellent staff. We had a long hangout that night like two hours while mo one was trying to kick us out. Also we were asked for nearly 10 times if we need more side dishes (for free), honestly their side dishes are also delicious and big. But almost 3-4 staff kept asking with their kindness which we felt so bad sitting that long and consuming so many side dishes. Thank you for giving us a cozy space and ‘full’ night, the beef soup was amazing!

I had a great lunch here at Dai Jang Kum on a lazy day off. My brother usually frequents here for lunch. He told me the lunch special boxes are pretty decent. So why not, I gave it a shot.
First off the service was a bit slow to start but everything eventually caught up and we were even asked if we needed anything extra or refills and napkins. The gentleman who was bringing our food must had been really busy. We asked for the Korean side dishes, sweet potato, kimchi, seaweed, and sprouts. He said it's not included... It wasn't until another server came and said he's wrong it is included for free…
Our miso soups came along with it which is free. Alot of miscommunication. Our Korean boxes came and there's a good variety. The short ribs could've been darker and richer in marinade sauce and cooked longer. Food is good but nothing special for lunch. Perhaps dinner would be better. I would love to come back for dinner.
Plenty of parking all around if you’re worried about door dents. Affordable dining experience. Good food. It can get crazy busy here with a small serving staff.
