    We were in Langley around dinner time, we decided to look for a place for dinner, found this Korean restaurant on Yelp with good reviews & it was near where we was and decided to give it a try. This is located in a street mall with ample parking spaces. Nice & clean space inside run by a Mum & Pop, she was very friendly, menu was varied and interesting. There is some items that is not found in our usual Korean fares. For example the Bulgogi Dupbap, it is beef bulgogi in soup, we had that dish in Seoul but couldn't find it here. I decided to have that & hubby had cold spicy noodles with pork belly, both entrees under $20 each. We loved the food, friendly service, you can ask for refills of your ban chan (Korean side dishes), you are served hot corn tea & cold water. A very yummy meal! We will be back!

    Came here to try a new Korean restaurant, there are so many in Langley. Started with the Fried Chicken and Fries, this is a good size order. Had a Spicy Tofu with seafood that was very tasty. LA Galbi was a large portion compared to other places. Also, meat was very tender and tasty. Good choice, will be back.

    Well this restaurant would be great but it's quite upsetting when a server insist that you to pay the bill when you're still eating and food is only half finished. Okay I admit my partner was finished his meal but still, read the table please! My go to orders are the pork cutlet dinner with the kimchi tofu stew omg sooo delicious or the bibimbap, then there is the Korean fried chicken (live the garlic soy) and lastly the Jambi on rice with brussel sports and kale. All supper yummy. All of the staff are great but for the one whom can be a deal breaker. Sorry for the sour grapes...

    Great Korean food, reasonable prices and portions are huge! We will be back. I highly recommend eating here for your Korean fix.

    -Soy garlic fried chicken: good serving size, crispy, not too sweet, fried perfectly, great taste -spicy tofu soup (mild spice): tasty soup (doesn't taste diluted), large tofu, egg included, good clam -bulgogi soup: too sweet 4 me but good taste Overall very worth it

    We stopped by for lunch. The restaurant was busy during the lunch rush. We managed to get a table after a short wait. I ordered the fried bulgogi mandu and pork belly and kimchi ssam. Food arrived fairly quickly. The fried beef dumplings were amazing. They were super crispy. Meat filling was nicely seasoned. The soy citrus chilli sauce complimented the dumplings well. The pork belly and kimchi ssam was alright. It was comparable to pressed sushi with the pork belly and kimchi toppings. There was a small salad to balance out the heaviness of the pork belly. This is a great Korean restaurant option in the area. There are high chairs available for younger children. Hand sanitizer was available. Staff wore face masks.

    Our first time did not disappoint! When we come back to visit next year I'm already expecting that this place stays open specially with the rising rentals at the lower mainland! My family is a big fan of Korean food and a party of 8 ordered 12 dishes! The surprising part was when the waitress came by as we're finishing and brought chicken and vegetable stir fry on the house! We couldn't eat our full anymore! The dishes were surprisingly a lot as well. One dish can fill two people, by two if you just eat little amounts. Im just a petite person but can eat like a freight train specially with alcohol! This is a family owned restaurant and can fit about 45 or maybe less people inside. They're following covid protocol as well which is a plus! I recommend anyone who would want to try this place! Thanks Banchan!

    I'm so glad I'm walking distance to this restaurant! Food is great! A very nice addition to the community. I recommend their Bulgogi and Korean Fried Chicken.

    Kimchi & Cheese Fries

    My usual review disclaimer applies. I don't leave negative reviews (I resolve negative issues with restaurants directly instead of leaving them on public pages) and I only write reviews when I feel truly compelled. My wife and I have popped in to Banchan now twice for take-out. We ordered the same thing twice. We shared Kimchi and Cheese fries, and also each had an Angry Chicken Bao Bun. First off - it's a nice place inside. Secondly -- the staff are tremendously friendly, lovely people, and it's a pleasure to buy anything from someone giving you a nice smile, some kindness and amazing food. Third -- these two dishes by themselves are truly and utterly incredible. The scent of the Kimchi and Cheese fries alone are enough to make one feel as though you've died and gone to heaven, but you add to that the truly amazing taste, on top of the little pieces of delicious pork belly in there and you've got something incredible that makes your brain want to explode. The little, beautiful, messy, amazing Angry Chicken Bao Buns are no slouch either, and a joy to eat. Can not recommend strongly enough.

    Seafood noodle soup & bulgogi Bao bun
    Jessie W.

    Got delivery with Uber Eats, on my boss's tab. A seafood noodle soup + bulgogi bao bun = $32.58 before tip. I was pleasantly surprised by how much actual seafood was in the soup, and I liked everything in there (large & small shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops, my favourite being the octopi) except the crab, which was way overcooked and practically dissolved. The noodles (packed separately dry) were similar to udon noodles but unfortunately not as chewy. I would also say the soup got to be a little too much seafood taste toward the end. The bulgogi bao was delicious but can literally be consumed in 4 bites (and is therefore on the pricey side at $5.20). Overall nothing spectacular, but I'd be down to try some other menu items.

    Love this place. What a great addition to the Langley Area. An awesome alternative to the saturated corporate restaurant environment. Fried chicken is very good. Bao Buns are tasty. Mandu are nicely filled and taste great. Tuna Bap is good. Been here a few times now. Try it out.

    Used to go here all the time and the owner is lovely. Been awhile since I visited again and staff…read moredidn't change but didn't see owner this time. Still pretty much the same. Chill place with nice service. The menu definitely became much smaller as years go by and prices gone up as the market went up. Still a decent place in my option. Meat quality never disappoint and parking lot right outside. Across from carvolth exchange with all kind of buses.

    We came on an early weekday evening, and we were the only table here. The small BBQ meal piqued our…read moreinterest, so we decided to order that to split between the 2 of us. It seemed like their BBQ meals are quite popular since a couple of tables after us ordered the same. You are given the option of pork belly or pork jowl or a combination of the two. We chose the latter option, and we weren't disappointed! We were fairly new to this style of Korean BBQ dining and were deep in conversation, so we kept getting distracted and forgot to check on the meats. The waitress working was EXTREMELY patient and helpful. She helped us with the cooking and made conversation and joked with us. I personally prefer the pork belly because the pork jowl was a bit lean and dry (perhaps that was due to our poor cooking). The side dishes and soybean soup were standard - no complaints but also nothing to rave about. Instead of getting the rice with the soup, we ended the meal with the fried rice (additional $5). There was quite a lot of food leftover for 2 people so the small is definitely a good amount!

Our party of six waited over an hour to be seated. If my mother hadn't spoken up, we likely would have waited even longer. Although reservations are not accepted, guests are placed on a waitlist upon arrival. Our name was clearly on the queue, but not in Korean and while I initially understood smaller parties of two or four being seated ahead of us based on table availability, concerns arose when another party of six--who was behind us in line (name was written in Korean--was seated before us. This was deeply frustrating, as we were next in line for a table that could accommodate six people. When we raised the issue, the hostess admitted it was a mistake, yet still chose to seat the other group first. They were 5th in the queue. Despite our complaint, there was no sincere apology, and we were forced to wait an additional 10 minutes while they set up another table. The entire situation left us feeling unfairly treated and discriminated against. As loyal customers who regularly spend over $300 per visit ordering family combos, extra dishes, drinks, and more, this was incredibly disappointing. Sadly, we will not be returning. There are many other restaurants that treat their customers with fairness, respect, and appreciation.
