I considered eating at Koryo about five times, but never took the plunge--that is until I read Lauren's review. Today I was at West Edmonton Mall, and I wasn't really that hungry, but I really wanted to try Koryo.
I got the BBQ Chicken Main Dish. It was only $7, and it came with plenty of food--much more than I was expecting. It came with two chicken thighs, two scoops of rice, and two side dish choices. I got the green beans and the potatoes. They also smothered my food in a delicious sauce.
The chicken was very good. It was cooked well, and it was very tender. The rice was good--not too sticky. The green beans surprised me, because they were purposely cold. I wasn't crazy about that, but it was still good. The potatoes were to die for. They were very crispy on the outside, yet very soft on the inside. I had to take at least half of my food home, because I couldn't eat it all, and the worker was nice enough to give me a little box to put it in.
Koryo was like eating at an actual restaurant--even better than some restaurant food I've had, and it's cheaper too. I'll definitely be coming here again! -

There's a Koryo in pretty much every decent mall food court in Canada. And it's pretty good, if a little salty.
I had the BBQ chicken plate, and in place of rice, I had the Garlic Potatoes. Which are incredibly garlicky, incredibly salty, and altogether tasty.
And with any plate, you may add a number of sides. I went with broccoli and green beans, but you could also go with kimchee, pasta salad, noodles, and a number of other sides.
The chicken itself was tender and tasty - largely because Koryo opts for thighs instead of breasts.
I also liked my side of broccoli, which had an unexpected grilled flavour.
I just wish I didn't feel so gross afterward. Using an analogy, Koryo is to Korean Barbecue as Wendy's is to Hamburgers - tasty, fast, but not very healthy and doesn't make me feel all that great. -

I just tried Koryo for the first time today, and it was awesome! I admit, I was hesitant to try it at first, because it's a new fast food joint at one of the food courts at West Ed (the one by Galaxyland), and we've all had our disappointments when we try one of our favorite cuisines in the fast food form.
But Koryo didn't disappoint! I had the regular beef bbq combo, and it was delicious. It comes with two scoops of rice, and you get your pick of two side dishes. I chose the cold bean sprouts and glass noodles (so good!). The beef was soft and tender, not too chewy.
For about $7, I was pretty full in the end, and my meal was almost as good as some actual Korean restaurants I've been to. I thought it was a bit strange that they had burgers and sandwiches here, but I think they're made with bbq beef. Anyway, I'm glad I now have a new favorite place to eat at next time I'm there! -

I have been to Koryo twice. It is a unique alternative to typical food court fare, since the meat and chicken (and salmon) are prepared grilled and fresh, with your choice of some very different sides. Meals are also served with a scoop of white rice, in addition to a choice of two sides. I like the string beans (served cold) and garlic potatoes, except the last time I had them they were a bit too garlicky. Portions are not huge, but prices are low. I especially like the beef and chicken combo which features a small piece of steak and small piece of chicken along with rice and sides.
