    Probably to best value in the Bay Center. I hit the food court wanting something with some reasonable idea of health value (or at least, the vegetables included weren't just those eaten by the animal).  Decided to give Koryo a go.

    The portions were generous and the staff was awesome.  I arrived shortly before close and the food was fresh and the meat was grilled after ordering.

    Will happily eat there again and that's quite a statement for fast food. ;)

    I am definitely not a fan of fast food, so imagine my skepticism when my co-workers were trying to convince me that the Bay Centre food court would have tasty options.

    Fast forward to the food court (yes, I am easily convinced). Scanning around I didn't see anything tasty or interesting at all until I landed on a small store in the far corner -- Koryo.

    With an exterior screaming "Asian fusion!!!" I assumed it would be some terrible offspring of mall and Asian fusion. Turns out, the food wasn't bad at all.

    PROS:
    + All barbecued meats are marinated, Korean style and then grilled
    + Meals come with healthy helpings of rice and side dishes that you can choose; side dishes are authentic and really good
    + Kimchee is particularly good at this place
    + Some innovative Korean-American menu items

    CONS:
    - Although this is a good Korean fix to get in downtown, the meat doesn't seem to be marinated as well as going to an actual joint that serves Korean BBQ; speaking of which, I heard there is a Korean BBQ place on Fisgard St.?
    - Expect to pay a decent price for the food, although you can opt for the cheaper sandwiches, forgoing the lunch plates
