Came here for lunch with a large group of about 8. It was slightly empty, but the waitress did pretty well with taking orders and bringing the drinks. I got my seafood soup with long udon-like noodles that was delicious. I asked for a substitution with the noodle element, but apparently they don't accommodate with specific requests. Ergo, order from the menu and everyone will be happy.

Overall, the food was delicious and inexpensive!

Great restaurant that we stumbled upon on a Monday night.  We were heading to Kintaro's down the street for some ramen, but unfortunately, it was closed.  ::sad hungry face::

So we wandered the street and found Madangcoul.  For a small restaurant, at 9p on a monday night, it was pretty full.  Only one waitress, but she was so fast and efficient!  Amazing!

The menu was pretty impressive too.  It looked like there were lots of homestyle dishes that I've never seen before.  I've been to many korean restaurants, but they all have the usual suspects--- jigea, bi bim bap, short ribs, korean pancakes... etc.  But this one had some amazing looking stews.

Too bad we were only looking for a small dinner (and only a few days in town) because i wanted to come back for more =D

the glazed potato side dish's to die for!  i usually get the bulgogi and the spicy pork sets... the sweet flavor of all the above mentioned dishes is unbeatable!!  it's been around for at least 5 years and i'm so glad it's still around when i visited vancouver after leaving town for years... i think they redecorated a bit. i could not find food cooked the same way when i visited korea - i really love the food here!!!

I like the staff and the ambiance - always full of Korean students.  Decent prices, and consistent food.  Soups are fantastic on a cold day.  Kimchi selection is very good as well.  Cheap + fast + tasty.

Yup my last trip up to Vancouver was a walk down memory lane.  Ah Memories...

But hmm... somethings not quite the same.  I'm talking about the food. It's still homestyle food but I almost felt like there was MSG in her cooking.  

Her Kimchee which I still think is best in Vancouver was still good.

I can't quite put my finger on but I'll have to go back to make sure. =)

Small local place owned by a Korean family.
It's nothing fabulous but everything nice.
It's inexpensive, tasty, warm and welcoming.
It's like visiting a friend in Korea and your friend's mom cooks up a feast for you.
I agree with what Marc said but I would like to add one thing: it's not a good way to experience Korean "cuisine" but it's a perfect way to experience every-day Korean home dining.

so i looked up yelp to look for a place to eat kfood in vancouver. this was not the place i wanted to go but we ended up here because we were starving and it was close by. i would give it 3... or even 4... for just serving kfood in vancouver. but to be honest, as a korean, i give them 2! one for food and one for being in vancouver.

i would eat here again if i was starving... but will not return because it offers something more

This is a homestyle casual Korean restaurant.  The beef broth used for several of the soups and hotpots is very smooth and gentle.  For what it is, this is a decent neighbourhood place.  But for truly excellent Korean food you have to head out to Burquitlam.

My boyfriend and I fell in love with this place a year ago and since then things seem to be going down hill.  Food is great but its expensive with small portions.  It is too bad because we use to really enjoy their food.

Great cheap eats!  This restaurant is very cozy, the food is great, the price is very reasonable, and the service is good.  I can't wait to go back.  It's a great find.
