Date night dinner, AYCE Korean BBQ.

Food is not bad, wish they marinate their meat a little longer, some of them looks like they sprinkled the seasoning on top just before they bring them out.

Service was good, and friendly they kept bringing food out for us.

The restaurant is getting a little old, and you can smell and feel it’s oily inside

Overpriced for what it is, you are paying for the location. Don’t think we will go back there. There are better options out there

We get the ALL YOU CAN EAT &39.99 CAD. Service was fast. The meat was delicious.

The meat is given to you in pieces, make sure you start with a little of everything, if you want to try. Then you will find your favorite meat and order more pieces. We started milking for 2 pieces and in round 4, we ordered 6 pieces of our favorite meats

Good experience for a lunch dining-in. Friendly and clean environment. The beef bulgogi stew is the best I've ever had. The beef stew came with 4 small side dishes, and they can provide you with extra side dishes if you asked. It's definitely worth coming back for lunch or dinner again!
🥲 to the cheese powdered fried chicken.

Not a super busy place but has good food options that I think is ideal for groups and sharing!! Yummy banchan (side dishes- the radish on point!!)

Friendly service.

Bossam —> fyi doesn’t come with lettuce wraps etx so we ordered rice.

The steamed egg was nice, not too eggy flavour and the texture was great! (I don’t like the too silky smooth kinds ><)

As for the fried chicken…. It seems like everyone liked the spicy Korean sauce one but we got the cheese powder and I guess it really allowed us to see the truer form of the chicken. The colouring definitely is using old oil, the taste was old chicken too…

But anyways I definitely want to try the jjajangmyeon dish next time!

All I can say is WOW.. food was beyond delicious, from all the sides to the meats. My husband and I ended up doing the B menu for all you can eat Korean BBQ and man it did not disappoint. We are waddling out of here completely full and even more satisfied.

Thank you to the staff and chefs here, we will 100% be returning and raving about this restaurant to our friends and family!!

Great food for a decent price. The service was solid and although the grills aren’t as hot as other kbbq it’s still decent and worth a trip as the sides are tasty and meat quality is good.

We got the AYCE Menu A with pork belly and steak. The meats were fresh and service was excellent. There is a good spread on side dishes and most were delicious. However, we think the dry seasoning and marinade did not coat everything enough for our taste.

The service was great. The servers were attentive and kind. They changed our grill 3 times in 1.5 hours which was good.

The atmosphere was nice, didn’t feel rushed, and gave us a big table.
Uber eats order. The sweet sour pork is terrible. For $30 you get to eat batter. I say each piece is 10% pork content, the rest is all batter. You get a disgusting after feeling of bloat from fried batter. Everything else was good though. Picture below shows how much batter you get per peice.

My friend heard that the restaurant was good. We ordered bulgogi, dak galbi, Ttekboki carbonara, seafood pancake and cold noodles. The food and service did not disappoint.

My friend loved the cold noodles, Ttekboki carbonara, bulgogi and dak galbi. I was a bit disappointed with the seafood pancake as it was too doughy.
The fried chicken here was delicious!! Such huge pieces and so crispy. We ordered the bone-in spicy one. My favorite dish out of our three.

We also got Beef Tofu Soup & Takoyaki. All good - no complaints :) They have quite the extensive menu.

The table has a call button for service which was really nice. I much prefer the button rather than have them check in with us every so often.

Would come again!
Finally checked out this neighborhood joint, I love that they are open until midnight. I recommend coming with friends as the portions are massive.

We had the bulgogi and mushroom sundubu. Both were really tasty. My friend has an aversion to spice so it was nice that they could make it mild for her.

I will say, this place is loud. There is a lot of hard surfaces, so if there ar some rowdy tables, it can be very loud. They were having issues with their debit machine but were very apologetic.
First time here. I like it. It's some of the better tasting Koreans in Vancouver / Burnaby. Not much interaction with the waitresses, but so far they are pretty friendly. Came in around 3 PM on a Sunday - not many people, which I enjoyed.

The side dishes are tasty. I ordered the bibimbap. It's pretty good. It's shocking that not many places make decent tasting one...

The portion is BIG for the price.

I also tried my friend's kimchi fried rice. I usually don't like Kimchi fried rice, but this changed my mind. It's flavourful, not sour.

I think what makes the rice dish good is the quality of rice. It's not dry. It's chewy and bouncy. Perfectly cooked rice.

The fried dumpling is not bad. Worth a try.

Definitely wanting to come back to try their other dishes. Definitely wanting to see if there are any other Vegetarian friendly dishes available.

Nice experience! Kind staff and beautiful place! Keep reading to find some tips!

It’s fun cooking and we ate very well. We ordered the all you can eat deal at our table, and it worth it. The deal works in 4 rounds so we can manage what we eat. Many delicious side dishes included, and I ordered the peach yogurt cider, really good!! The trick is focusing in the meat and manage the side dishes so we can take advantage. The lettuce is an extra, but 2 orders were enough for 6 ppl. If it is your first experience in this kind of grill, remember to ask to the staff for your grill to be changed in every round, so the flavor is still good.

We were here for a late night dinner, the noodles were great, great portion and great flavor. The soup was okay, you need to add the salt and pepper on your own but that's the traditional way ti eat it. Corn cheese was average , a bit too sweet and liquid. But the side dishes were absolutely delicious! Kimchi is nice, great acidity and spicy. And the pickle radish for the noodles is so good! You can ask for more if you need it. An A+ in average
I’ve been here plenty of times! Average priced and really flavourful dishes. I will say not all of them are hits and some days better then others but 8/10 times really good!

Only qualm I have is that after 5pm it gets very very loud with large groups that can take up over 50% of the restaurant and loud music in the background. Best to go for lunch.

I was blown away by the delicious food and fantastic service! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The highlight of the meal was definitely the Korean barbecue. The meat was of high quality and incredibly flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the marinated short ribs and the thinly sliced brisket. The side dishes were also delicious.
I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Korean barbecue and great service!

Kim Chi fried rice was my favourite dish. The regular boneless fried chicken with spicy & sweet sauce on the side (which cost $5 for a side - not impressed w that) was as good as other Korean chicken places, and the beef short ribs were tasty - assuming you don't mind munching small bits of meat around bones. Definitely one of the better Korean restaurants in Vancouver!

Went at noon, no problem getting a table and plenty of free street parking in front. Place was clean and service was responsive.
