Honestly soooo unassuming. But one of the BEST EXPERIENCES I’ve ever had in Vancouver. Their Chestnut, Citrus and Strawberry wine was soooo lovely. And the server that was working on the night of March 1st- I’m so sorry i did not get your name but you were AMAZING. we will be back!

I visited here on a friend's recommendation and was pleasantly surprised by their innovative take on traditional makgeolli. Being a fan of thick, robust makgeolli—much like the classic Haechang style that's hard to find in the U.S.—I found their brew to be delightfully richer than the typical supermarket versions.
What truly set the experience apart was the opportunity to sample small pours, allowing me to savor each flavor. I tried both the Chestnut and Yuzu variants. The Chestnut makgeolli, with its velvety, slightly thicker consistency and warm, nutty aroma, quickly became my favorite. Meanwhile, the Yuzu offered a refreshing burst of citrus that balanced its richness perfectly.

I first tried it at a Korean restaurant in Vancouver and fell in love with it. This is the makgeolli I buy every time I go from Seattle to Vancouver. It can't be compared to the makgeolli sold at Korean supermarkets, and I'm impressed every time I drink it.

Personally, this is my favorite makgeolli. When I drink other makgeolli, I get a headache afterward, so it wasn't my favorite liquor, but after drinking Banmak makgeolli, I no longer have to worry about headaches. It’s great to be able to enjoy makgeolli with a variety of smooth flavors. It goes well not only with meat and soup, but also with Western dishes.

I frequently purchase rice wine from this shop, and I must say, the flavors they offer are absolutely delightful. The chestnut, strawberry, and peach varieties stand out as particularly enjoyable, each with a unique and refreshing taste. Additionally, the staff here are always warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high-quality rice wine and excellent customer service.

The green grape and chestnut makgeolli are really delicious, and the owner is always so kind. Since they’ve opened in Chinatown, I’ve been going there more often to buy makgeolli!

It was the best Makgeoli I had in Canada. Especially the chestnut makgeoli was very rich and flavoursome! It goes perfect with Korean pancake. Definitely recommended!!

I tried it through the UBC SPEC club, and it was a really amazing experience because the flavors were so diverse and unique! I had a good drink.
Best rice wine I’ve ever tasted! Van Mak proudly represents Korean rice wine, and I feel lucky to have it in Canada. Thank you.
