* Home of reasonably priced Korean fusion cuisines *
Their menu is comprised of Korean Chinese and Korean Japanese style dishes primarily, and feels very similar to some similar type of spots I have been to in Korea.
Located in the heart of the Korean area of North Road, there is a lot of local competition, so this spot stacks up as just about a 3 star considering some of the other nearby options. Likely if it was in a small town it would be a 4 star though!
I had the combination which included jajangmyeon, jjamppong, and fried rice. The jajangmyeon and jjamppong came in a nicely split bowl (Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...) to keep them separate from each other. The jajangmyeon had a nice flavour to the sauce without being overly salty like it sometimes can be. The noodles themselves had a really good chew and were cooked perfectly. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz... The jjamppong had a nice level of heat, perfectly cooked noodles, and a generous amount of seafood and vegetables. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The fried rice was a bit too oily for my taste, but nicely presented covered in a thin omelet. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The kimchi and danmuji were standard fare: http://www.yelp.ca/biz...
The overall combo was just a little bit above $10 before tax. Very reasonable considering the amount of food provided.
Service was surprisingly helpful and friendly given how crowded it was.
Overall the combos are reasonably priced, and reasonably tasty.Listed in: Vancouver Chinese Food, Vanoodle, Vancouver Korean Food

Came here as part of a group dinner for 8 a couple of months ago. The place was practically empty in the early evening on a Sun when we arrived. Not my idea since K food isn't really my thing so I ended up ordering from among the sushi section on their menu hoping it's something they have that can reasonably pass for sushi. I ordered 4 cones & a roll I think was a BC roll. The cones were ok & palatable but I've had better. The roll was a big mistake. Thinking it came in a standard size like the ones from Japanese restaurants these were huge like the size of futomaki & were packed full of disgusting artificial crab meat that was dry. Ended up giving it all to the rest of my friends to finish since they didn't seem to mind. I think everyone felt the food was somewhat over priced.

Possibly the best casual Korean Restaruant (not BBQ restaurant)
Coming to Ddoo Gau Bee was possibly by chance. The first time I came here was with my friend and it was due to the funny name that provoked it. Ended up the randomness ended up in satisfaction. The food here is CHEAP and I mean VERY affordable. It is even cheaper than food court prices in a RESTAURANT!!!!
The food here is standard, but very creative. There are many dishes with duets which features two types of noodles in a single divided bowl. I would definitely recommend their special Japanese rolls as they are WAYYYYYY cheaper than eating at Japanese Izakayas and of the same quality.
The service here is standard of asian establishments, but the servers do try their best to communicate with me (using the finger and pointing usually is the best way!!!)
This place is awesome and I would sometimes drive 30+ km from Richmond to Coquitlam just to eat at Ddoo Gau Bee!!! -

I'm giving Ddoo Gau Bee 3.5 stars.
Their small side dishes are mediocre, but the reason I like this place is because you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a variety of Korean, Korean style Chinese food and Japanese food. Seriously, their combination platters and specials allow my fiancee and I to eat about 5 different things for less than $30 dollars. If we usually go to a Korean place and dine for 2, we never leave without spending over $50 and we can only get 2-3 things. Now I can get soondooboo, kalbi, noodles, fried rice (and sushi!) without having to invite a whole party! Sweeeeet... -

As most Korean restaurants go, this place gives huge portions and it's cheap cheap cheap! Wait, did I mention cheap?! Because it is and the people love it so you'll never be the lone person eating in the restaurant listening to the echo of your own chew. How awkward is that?!
Located in "Korea Town", Ddoo Gau Bee also offers Japanese food. Yeah, you hear me: JAPANESE FOOD! I write in caps because as a Japanese and Korean food lover and a lover of cheap food... this place rocks my socks. That being said, the food isn't spectacular. Actually, it's less than spectacular but you get what you pay for and it's worth every penny!
I usually get a combo including Jajangmyun (Korean black bean paste noodle) and it's not the greatest as far as Korean food goes but I still usually eat most of it because again, the portions are reasonably big and my tummy can't fit everything in it...although I wish it could. The sushi is alright too.
So, if you like cheap food and aren't too picky with how it tastes then this is your go-to for Korean/Japanese food! -

Four stars for the value for what you get. This place serves both Korean and Japanese food as well as some of their own Korean/Chinese and Korean/Japanese fusion dishes. The food quality ranges from average to pretty good. It's a great place to go if you can't decide on Korean or Japanese or want both and if you don't want to spend an arm and a leg with the many specials they have to offer.

The popularity of this place confuses me. Its a korean-chinese-japanese fusion style restaurant. Very authentically korean though. I've had very similar food in korea and was pleasantly surprised that this kind of food was available here in Canada. This place confuses me though because its really not very good food. Its alright and decently priced for korean food. But some of my friends really really like it here. But for me, its kinda meh.

Was here with my Korean bf and I have no idea what he ordered. Whatever it was, it was huge. On one side for both or dishes was the black bean noodle, which was okay. I've definitely had better. The other side was this noodle in spicy soup, which was also okay. His other side was this fried rice covered with a thin fried egg, I found it really oily. Everything was okay, nothing outstanding though. We also had a side of the spicy deep fried dumplings/gyoza maybe? which weren't bad. I would come back and try some of their other dishes cause the entire meal was very inexpensive.

Super fun place to go eat and not spend too much money. nothing is out of this world but everything is solid. i thought the mandu was really good and it was like 2 bucks. jampong is a favorite of mine and their noodles were the best but the soup was good. combo with jaja, jampong, tangsookyok was like $24 which was a steal..
