Review from Tyler R.

An unsung hero of Korean food in Vancouver for sure. The noodle and broth quality are truly fantastic. The complimentary mini-bibimbap appetizer of barley-rice, sesame oil roasted seaweed, lightly pickled cucumber and kimchi was an absolute delight and pleasant surprise.
The experience transported me, if, while I was eating someone called and asked me to meet them at the North-end of Insadong (a popular destination in Seoul) in 20 minutes, I probably would have felt like I could be right there.
Service was friendly. Other menu items, Kimchi Samgyupsal (spicy-pickled bukchoi and pork bbq) in particular, looked wonderfully appetizing. Washrooms were clean, parking was available and price was totally reasonable (two adults and a 3 year-old ate for $18.88). And while I agree there could have been a couple more slices of beef in the soup, but just a couple, this was some of the best Korean food I have had in Canada (another top-ranker is Namhansansong in North Van). If this restaurant were in Seoul I would be happy to go back.
For Korean-food novices a couple of pointers: the soup comes in a common hot-pot placed in the middle of the table, and while I didn't ask, please do not be surprised if either the hot-pot or the samgyupsal have a minimum of a two-person order. This is very common for Korean BBQ and Hot-Pot restaurants.
Finally, i overheard they serve Makkoli. If you want the full experience and you have a designated driver have some of this with your meal for sure! -

I echo the review before mine, "unsung hero" is right.
The meal was great, the service was good. What more could you ask for?
The mandoo was fantastic. The BBQ for two easily fed my family of 4 with addition of the dumplings and the haemul pajeon.
You also get a good variety of banchan.
Two could easily eat here for under 20$ if you share a kalgusku.
Great value + cleanliness + awesome food = return visits!! -

Korean restaurant specializing in kalguksu (knife cut noodles in hotpot). Their broth is superb, and the noodles hold up well to the regular heat from the gas stove built into your table. Their kimchi is flavourful, and doesn't taste overly commercial like in some restaurants. They also give you a side of barley rice with a bottle of chilli paste. Overall a delicious meal and extremely reasonable at about $9 per person. My only "beef" with them is that they could provide a little more beef in the kalguksu!
