Five stars all the way! The service and food were outstanding. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know!!! Great spot ⭐️
We ordered spicy pork, seafood soup and half and half chicken. Spicy pork with tofu soup was so good, I loved it. The seafood soup was okay. I didn't like the chicken at all, the spicy side was too sweet and the garlic side was a bit sour. I didn't expect this kind of taste. Overall, I like their services and atmosphere.
Zoomak exceeded expectations. The staff was very friendly. The food was absolutely amazing. I got the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken), half and half flavors, and they were so good. Along with the Spam and Bowl of Rice. My wife got the Kimchi Fried Rice and loved it. We were able to sit downstairs without a reservation although the entire upstairs was booked up.
This place can get super busy especially during lunch. Their lunch sets usually sell out so if you’re with a group and they can’t make up their minds, place your order first.
They have a lot of seating but they don’t really maximize it, probably a timing thing.
Food wise, this place is delicious. I’ve tried a few different times and every time has been wonderful. Their stone bowl rice is great, the fried chicken is great, and the lunch sets offer incredible value.
Overall, a fun spot to stop by in Gastown if you’re in the area and in the mood for Korean food.

I needed to come back here a second time before writing this review because I'm at a loss for words. EVERYTHING about Zoomak exceeds all expectations I had. The atmosphere, the waiters, the vibes, the food, the drinks... 11/10.
If you only had to get one item on the menu, I say go for the bossam. I guarantee you will be satisfied off just that. Honestly, if I had to only eat one thing for the rest of my life, this would be it. The crunchy exterior and melt in your mouth interior almost made me fall off my chair because I was at a loss for words.
Of course, besides that item, they also do the other dishes extremely well. Will be back to try the rest of the menu soon (yes, I am in fact slowly making my way through their entire menu).
I guess if I had one gripe, it would be having to wait quite a long time if you don't make reservations in advance. And even if you make the reservation, the time slots seems to be quite limited as they book up fast (and for good reason).
Anyway, go check this place out if you're in the Gastown area, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

It was full and we didn't make reservations for a Saturday night. We sat at the bar which was open.
The bartender was very attentive and we ordered their sesame sour and the Ok fun fizz. Both drinks were excellent and well made.
For food we got spam, Korean fried chicken and the bossam lettuce wrap.
The food was delicious, the restaurant wasn't big but the space was well used. Overall the atmosphere was cozy and fun
It was my first time there and I'll return to try the other drinks and food items!
Update:
Came here again 2 weeks later. The seafood pancake is excellent here!

The lunch set is a great deal. There is a variety of bite sized dishes and they're each well made. The presentation is also quite nice.
The service could use improvement.
The restaurant is clean and brightly lit.
Cons: can't make reservations, no parking, and entrance very difficult to find, very long waits sometimes
I would recommend!
Make sure you enter in through the back and not where the maps lead
