Review from Wendy P.
Two words: Manic Mondays.
I wandered into Century Plaza after coming across a couple of highly rated food court spots. 5-star food court experiences tend to pique my interest.
My nose sniffed out Koryo BBQ before my eyes noticed it in the back corner of the food court. The menu looked innocent enough: chicken, beef or ribs BBQ'd up with rice and your choice of two sides as a combo, soups, dumplings, and the likes.
I was the only one standing at the counter at 130 on a Monday afternoon. The man behind the counter looked up and asked "You ready to order?" I hadn't quite decided what I wanted, but I blurted out "I guess I'll go with the chicken and beef combo." He rung it in and then asked "Anything to drink?" I declined the drink thinking $7.99 for the combo was enough for that day. He totaled up my bill and said "Ok, $2.04 please." Ummm... what?
I glanced at him to see if he had caught his mistake, but he continued to smile up at me while he waited for me to pay. I was about to question the amount when my eyes fell upon the large banner behind the man. "Manic Mondays - Beef & Chicken combo $1.99" it read. It was no mistake. Mondays, between 1pm-3pm, Koryo offers one of their combos for $1.99. I just so happened to pick the special for that week. I should've ordered a drink. -

Well, well, well. What do we have here.
If you're heading out at lunch be sure to grab yourself some Koryo BBQ. This is a special treat you DON'T eat everyday, but rather when you're taking a break from a diet.
That's not to say the food choices are ALL bad. Koryo offers a great selection of sides which even includes BROCCOLI and GREEN BEANS! The garlic potatoes though cannot be turned down..
Here's a little tip from ME to YOU. IF you order a dish with sides, I usually order the BEEF and CHICKEN, you may substitute the rice for another side! Not many people know this. You're welcome. Make sure you grab a little cup full of the bbq sauce. Oh man, it's that orangy beigy deliciousy sauce good for dippin'.
It's a heavy meal that may make for an uncomfortable afternoon at the desk, but it's very delicious.
They are very fast getting you through and they even grill up the meat right in front of you! The Udon soup is also a fan favourite at my place of work.
If you're looking for some Korean flavours, but don't want anything too fast foody, try Koryo! Centennial Place even offers WIFI! -

I'm almost hesitant to review this place, because the food court is brand new and still quiet. If too many people find out, there's going to be lineups during lunch hour like every other downtown lunch spot.
Typically, I hate eating in food courts. As someone who doesn't eat meat, the veggie fast-food options are usually awful: "vegetables" usually consist of bland thawed messes that make me cry.
Koryo, on the other hand, offers a variety of great vegetable (and meat) options. Side dishes offered included fresh broccoli, steamed green beans, bean sprouts, kim chi, and a steamed egg that reminds me of the stuff on tamago sushi. Koryo also serves a potato side dish that tastes like candy, which probably means I shouldn't eat it.
The staff at this location don't speak english very well, so any questions (ie: "Why is the stuff coming out of the BBQ sauce dispenser light pink and smelling like mayonnaise?") will be met with very confused looks. But, whatever, the pink stuff tasted good, and I had a great, fast meal for eight bucks.Listed in: Accommodating to Vegetarians
