Bbong Korean Restaurant 뽕 is located at Hanin Village 한인 빌리지 on North Road in Coquitlam (same plaza as H Mart). Bbong has been on our list for a while, and there are many alternative options in the area. Thanks to all the glowing reviews about their generous portions and reasonable prices, we finally made it to Bbong. This cozy spot serves up Korean-Chinese cuisine (韓式中華料理), As soon as we stepped in, we noticed the place was buzzing with families -- lots of kids, which felt like a good sign. We went a little overboard with our order. We have no regrets. We were stuffed, but the food was so worth it. The leftovers made for a delicious late-night snack and a great lunch the next day. They still tasted amazing the day after! Bbong features a wider range of Korean-Chinese dishes like Jajangmyeon 짜장면 (black bean noodles), Tangsuyuk 탕수육 (crispy pork in sweet & sour sauce), Kkanpunggi 깐풍기 (spicy garlic fried chicken), and Guobaorou 꿔바로우 (deep-fried pork in a tangy glaze). The flavours lean sweeter, sour, salty, and more spicier than those found in Korean cuisine, but they have the best fusion flavour from Korean Chinese cuisine - think sweet-sour-spicy. We happened to visit during their 10th anniversary promotion, which made everything even more affordable. It was such a steal. Bbong 뽕is the kind of spot you want to go back to again and again, especially with friends or family. We're already planning our next visit -- so many more dishes to try. If you're in the Coquitlam area, this spot is a must. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! They have options to adjust the spice level (great for kids!). Price: $30-$40 each person (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 3/5 Parking can be challenging during the peak time of dining and grocery shopping. Tips: * Just a short walk from Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain station. * Go hungry or bring a takeout container - massive portions. * Offer tasty side dishes (banchan) -- and also offer refills! Would I Return: Yes ‍ read more

My friend and I came here for their 10yr anniversary special!! I am a sucker for ja jang myun and when they advertised their $4.99 special, best believe we made plans to drop by asap. We arrived just before the rush and had to sort of share a both with another group, which was a bit weird. I think normally it would't be a big deal but there were a two kids who were bouncing around and almost knocked my friend by accident which wasn't so great. We ordered the fried mandu to share and each got our own bowl of jjm. Not overly onion-y and the onions were cooked enough that they weren't still raw/crunchy, a very solid presentation. Mandu were okay but I prefer the steamed ones. read more

Fairly decent Chinese-Korean place inside Hanin Village. This one is buried deep in the SE corner. Yes, Chinese-Korean. Parking is available in the strip mall lot. There are plenty of spots, but the lot gets packed. Place is pretty modern. Bright interior with wooden trim. Staff are friendly. No complaints. The menu is slightly different from typical Korean places, which is worth mentioning. They have Chinese style hot pot and rice dishes as well, though I didn't try this time. Banchan - 3 types. Kimchi, marinated potoato chunks, yellow pickled turnip slices. As we were in a group, we went for the Combo C. Tangsuyuk - deep fried pork served with a bowl of sweet and sour sauce. Very similar to Chinese sweet and sour pork. More than enough sauce for dipping. We had leftover sauce. Kkangpunggi - deep fried chicken in spicy sweet & sour sauce. This dish is more typical Korean. Basically a bit of sweet chili heat. Jjajang (family size) - noodles in stir fried black bean sauce. Family size is larger than the normal order. There was way too much sauce in this thing. The noodles were basically drowning. We decided to order an extra noodle refill to dump in and mix, and even then there was too much sauce. If the owner is reading this, please cut the sauce quantity in half. Taste was fine though. Overall my friends and I were happy with the food and value. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point, but there are at least 5 other places to try in the same strip mall. read more

Jjajangmyeon is not too sweet. What I remember as a kid. Watch out for the super hot water they serve. You will burn your mouth thinking it is cold. Nice service. read more

Great food and nice portion sizes for the prices. Focus is on Chinese-Korean dishes including their jajangmyeon and jjamppong which had nice and chewy noodles but the star of the show is their tangsuyuk! Super crispy and went great with the sweet and sour sauce! We also got their seafood pancake, mandu and galbi tang from their classic Korean side of the menu. We loved the dumplings as they were plump and flavourful while the seafood pancake a bit too much of a crisp (deep fried rather than pan fried?) Great service and a lovely newly renovated interior made it a lovely dining experience! read more

I ordered the jja jang mien with tang su yuk. It's the best korean dish combined together. The portions are massive so both my friend and I couldn't finish it. We had to take away a lot of them. So, it's worth the price. The taste is good but not very memorable. Its a nice comfort meal. There aren't anything that stands out compared to other places, but it's still a good place to grab a meal with friends. read more

Recently discovered Bbong restaurant by the Lougheed mall North Road neighborhood. They serve a fantastic blend of Korean and Chinese flavors. Their portions are generous! We ordered the combo B and it can feeds 2-3 people, and possibly a 4th! The combo incluedd Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, and Kkanpunggi. I enjoyed the Jajangmyeon and Kkanpunggi (sweet and sour fried chicken). The jjamppong was on the spicier side and the noodles were a bit softer than I liked it but it had a good amount of seafood in the noodle soup. Service was very friendly where they continuously checked in on us. Overall, it was tasty, filling, and a great value meal read more

Super affordable spot with massive portions. Stumble upon this noodle store in coquitlam and ordered the family combo. The serving recommendation for their family combo are definitely more reserved. We ordered combo A which serves 2-3 on the menu when it reality it definitely made a family of 4 FULL. The bowls of noodles were absolutely massive and incredibly filling. Would definitely go back for more! read more

My coworker invited me for a dinner here last Monday. I went here around 7 it was so busy. The waitress was so busy that she did not see me and I couldn't get a table until talking to a waitress by the till. It was nice that staff informed me about 50 minutes of waiting to get food, but it actually didn't take that long. We ordered Combo A ($42.99) to share together. Food was good. I really enjoyed Jjambbong(Spicy noodle) and Tangsooyuk were pretty tasty. I somehow liked Jjangbbong than blackbean noodles. Good experience overall. However the waitress wanted to kick us out when there was about 20 minutes left until closing. We sat in the rear dining room and it was hot inside. read more

A nice place near the back corner of a strip mall complex with a H-Mart. There are other restaurants along the same side so you may accidentally walk into another restaurant. The plates were larger than we thought as dishes at other places are smaller so we assumed it would be the same size. We were wrong so we had too much food. We ordered Ojingeo Deopbap ( spicy squid with vegetables with rice ), beef bulgogi and haemul sundubu ( spicy seafood soft tofu with egg and vegetables ). The Ojingeo Deopbap was really good. It was spicy but not too spicy that you would lose your sense of taste. Although we do like to eat spicy food so everyone's tolerance will be different. The beef bulgogi was also a bigger dish than other places (same size as the squid dish). It was good. The flavors are like other places so standard. The Haemul sundubu was okay. It is a good item for those cold days like a couple of nights ago when it was 0°C. We will be back to try the noodles as there was one we wanted to try but had already ordered these dishes. read more

Came in here in with a group of 9 on a Wednesday night. We got seated pretty fast which was nice! They originally asked if our big group could be split into 2 tables. We agreed at first but because we would've been separated by a big partition, we opted to wait for another table to open up so that our 2 tables would be closer to each other. We got seated and were only given 1 menu between our two tables. The service was really minimal. We noticed that a really big table opened up shortly after we sat down and so my friend asked if we could move to that table. The server did not hide his annoyance with us lol. I get it, we had asked for accommodations twice at this point but we just wanted to be able to all talk together. We told the server we could stay at the two tables we were already at if it was too much work as well. The server agreed to let us move but he was very obviously unhappy with us. We moved all our cups and utensils ourselves as well as to not bother the staff more than we already had. Personally, this left us with a bad feeling, like we were a huge inconvenience despite being willing to stay where we already were. When I stay the service was minimal, I mean we had to call them down to order, our food came out, and we did not have a server come by again. Even when we were all paying up at the front the server was OVER us hahaha. The food was pretty standard, not amazing but the black bean noodles were super cheap ($5) as part of a promotion so we liked that. We also got the sweet and sour pork and spicy chicken which was also not bad but not amazing. read more

Recently they offer a promotion of $11.99 seafood noodle soup that comes in a generous portion and is delicious. Highly recommended. Good service. Clean ambiance. read more

Visiting from Los Angeles with my family of 6 after a day of sightseeing... regret stopping in and wasting one of our meals here. From the moment we sat down, it was all downhill from there. They weren't taking our order so we had to walk to the counter and ask them to take our order. We had the combo meal with 3 entrees and a family size jjajang. After we ordered, we waited.., and waited,,,, and waited. They didn't even bring us any side dishes while we waited (which is what we are used to). But wasn't sure if this was the norm in Canada so we just waited,,, Well after waiting and waiting... (we were waiting so long that we debated canceling our order and leaving but we didn't want to do that a small business), Food finally came out... and it came with raw onions and pickled radish (the yellow one). Minimal side dishes but we just figured it was what was the norm for them. Food was okay, not horrible. Here's the annoying part.., when we were paying our tab and boxing up food, another family sat next to us. But their order was taken almost immediately after being seated. Then after ordering, they were given their side dishes to eat before their food came out. And they were given more side dishes... they were given kimchi and fish cake in addition to the raw onion and pickled radish. When we went to the front counter to let them know about the poor service, and how we weren't even given the normal side dishes the table next to us got, they told us that only non Koreans get those. We asked why as Koreans, we wouldn't be given kimchi. He told us we should have asked. Then he said... we did refill your water (like it was something special) I understand Asian restaurants are not really known for their service but this was blatantly obnoxious and felt almost like they were being rude to us on purpose. I would not recommend. read more

Soup good, banchan good. All good. Came in post tennis and saw many families having the Korean Style Sweet and Sour Pork, Black bean Noodle Combo. Need to come back with a larger crew for those family meals read more

This place gives you a lot of bang for your buck. We ordered the seafood pancake ($23) and family combo B ($43). Pancake was good but not worth $20+. Combo B comes with the holy trinity - jjangmyeon, jjampong and kkan pung gi. I usually prefer fried chicken over the sweet & sour pork (but if you don't, you can select combo A). Combo B is a great deal - huge portions. Definitely enough to share between 4 adults and you'll probably have leftovers.

Service is awful. Avoid at all costs. We came in on a Sunday (July 3 around 6pm). This goes for the overall service of the restaurant. 1/5 And I repeat, 1/5. Do not waste your money here. We had to ask numerous times to place an order. Didn't get any side dishes till actual food came. Water is warm and not cold. When asked for things, male server had an attitude and didn't want to accompany requests. Why work in the this field If you hate providing top notch customer service? Shame on management for hiring such a poor server. I didn't get his name but he was extremely rude. Don't waste your time or money here, you will regret it. When our party confronted this server, he couldn't admit anything and had a stupid, sarcastic answer that made no sense. Own up, be a man and admit to all the mistakes you made. Don't go hiding behind the curtains. read more

My boyfriend and I had a mighty need for some jjajangmyeon and this place did not disappoint. Service was pretty quick, and our dish came out nice and hot. Its noodles had a nice texture and the nood : sauce ratio was perfect. The flavor was also great. Our eyes just sort of glazed over after the first bite and we slurped away ( ° ° ) The banchan are good, but nothing to write home about. We split one order and with the side dishes had plenty of food - definitely a great place to go if you're on a budget. Our servers were all friendly and seemed knowledgable and caring. Overall it was a really nice and comfortable experience. read more

We came on a Thursday at 11:30. We ordered Combo B which comes with Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles), Jangpong (seafood noodles) and Kkanpungi (fried chicken in sauce). It came with three sides fish cake, potato and kimchi. Unfortunately (I believe because we weren't Korean - can't confirm) they didn't provide us with the onion and radish that I saw other tables were provided with. What is Jajangmyeon with radish... A slight disappointment. The size of the jajangmyeon and jangpong were on the smaller side. The jajangmyeon tasted like it came from a package. It was probably one of the least satisfying jajangmyeon that I've had. The flavour of the black bean wasn't very strong. The jangpong was not very spicy. There was quite a bit of seafood in it but overall wouldn't get it again. The kkanpungi was VERY large. The outside was quite thick. The flavour was not bad. It wasn't very crispy it was more chewy. For the price, ($45) it isn't bad for the amount of food you get. But overall the flavours weren't astonishing. I wouldn't come back for the same items read more

MUST come here in a large group. The larger the group the merrier!! You have to try the combo deals that range from 3-4 dishes. Today we got combo B, which includes black bean noodles (jjiajjiangmyeong), fried pork, fried chicken, and spicy seafood noodle soup. Everything is delicious and this whole thing only costs $50, but it feeds 8 people!!! There is a smaller combo that includes 1 less dish for $40, and it can feed 4-5. Sooooo tasty. read more

My dad forced me to drive 20 minutes from our hotel to eat here and it was worth it. They make korean-chinese food, which isn't fancy, but very comforting on a rainy say. read more

1 star only because 0 stars is not an option here. Do not waste your money and time. I ordered takeout over the phone. When I arrived to pick up the order, they made me pay first. Then, I waited for 1 hour. It wasn't until I followed up for the third time, did they say they forgot to make 1 out of 5 dishes I ordered, and asked me to wait (again). If they were apologetic about it or tried to make up for their mess-ups, then fine, but no, they treated me like they didn't want my business and I felt as if I was burdening them. I asked for a refund since they forgot my order, and the male staff member ignored me. I asked again and again and he ignored me. Maybe this is the same person that treated others rudely in the other reviews. I regret giving them business today and will definitely not go back here. Go somewhere else, where they will treat you with some common decency. read more

Went back to Vancouver, my coworker took me to eat Korean food after her work. We went to a Korean Restaurant nearby Lougheed Town Center in Coquitlam. The location of the restaurant is right beside the Korean Super Market - H Mart. The name of the restaurant calls BBong Korean Restaurant. Before we went to this place, my coworker told me that this place is famous for its Chicken. I was so excited to try its chicken. We arrived the restaurant right after the work around 6:30 pm. The restaurant was not very busy since it was on the weekday - Monday. We could easier get a seat and the server brought us the menu and drinks. The menu book was awesome. It provided a picture with each order, so customers could easier to order the food. After few minutes discussion, we decided to order its family combo to share, which came with a jajangmyeon, a jjampong, and tansuyuk/kanpoongi) for about $30. It seems like a great deal for us (My friend told me that it will be a great deal for 2 people and we will have lots of food). After waiting for 10 to 15 mins, our food finally came out from the kitchen. My friend was right. Those amount of food (super large portion) cost us only $30 in total, which was awesome. All the food looked so delicious. The taste of the food was awesome too. I like the spicy seafood noodles' soup. The soup was not so spicy, but very seafood flavors. My most favourite dish was the chicken. OMG. That was lots of Chickens. The taste of the chicken seemed like the special sweet pork dish from my hometown. Tasty and Yummy. I love it sooooo much. Since only two of us, we had lots of leftover food in the end. We took all the leftover to go. It was a great experience eating at BBong Korean Restaurant. I would love to come back to this place again and highly recommend to all my friends to go. Delicious Food and Cheaper Prices. read more

Happened to be in the area so opted to try the pork cutlet here, as a friend has been raving about it. Happy to say, it was better than expected .. Very crispy, tender on the inside, with a tasty side salad, and a nice sweet/tangy sauce tho I would I have prefered it be served on the side than the top. It did not make the meat below it soggy tho which was nice. Pan fried dumplings were freshly made, very good and a good portion size as well. Would definitely come back to explore the area and try more food if in the area! read more

Every now and then I crave a good Korean-Chinese fusion cuisine. My friend had recommended this place, so I stop by on a whim after work to give a try! I give an Grade A on Food and Grade C on customer service, hence the average of a 3 star rating. First off, the food was good and service started off lovely, food was great and service was efficient. The server recommended we order a combo to get a better deal, so we ended up with generous portions of Khan Pung Ki (Dried Fried Chicken), Ja Jang Myun (black bean noodle) and Jjamp pong (seafood noodle dish). Each dish was tasty and the Jjamp pong stood out for me, the broth was absolutely divine. I was full and happy, ready to pay and leave when the cashier undermined the entire experience. Slight rant, but it's my honest review. I was literally next in line to pay, when the cashier stopped me from coming forward with the palm of her hands and asked me to wait aside. I was confused if she was allowing someone to cut in front of me or they had been awaiting elsewhere. Anyways, 6 people (who were NOT there before) emerged from another table and I had to wait over 10 minutes to pay for my bill. They were all paying individually...one by one by one. I don't quite understand why they were a priority over me. Furthermore, the front was becoming a bit crowded and another waitress started pivoting her black cart around and slammed into the back of my boyfriend and me. She didn't even turn around to apologize. Food was great, but with customer service like that, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

Reasonable prices and alright portion. Wish it was slightly bigger in portion though. Staff are not too friendly unless you're Korean but polite enough. A bit more inattentive to non-Korean speaking customers though. Parking lot right outside but often busy. Walking distance to bus stops and Lougheed skytrain station. Not bad at all and decent jajangmyeon, but not my go to Korean spot and won't really travel all the way for read more

This is a Korean-Chinese restaurant. It specializes in the Korean version of the Chinese dish zha jiang mian, which is called ja jang myeon on the menu, along with other things. I was always confused why these types of restaurants were called Chinese restaurants in Korea when I was growing up because I didn't know they were actually dishes based on Chinese dishes, but with Korean influences. We usually order combo A or B when we come here. It comes with one bowl of ja jang myeon, jjam ppong, and deep fried pork (A) or chicken (B). The servings are generous. It could probably feed 3 people instead of just two. As for the food, it's great. The food is well prepared and the portions of the deep fried items are generous. The jjam ppong has a flavourful seafood broth. Compared to good Korean-Chinese restaurants in Korea, I would say this place comparable. This is a place I'd come to if you want Korean-Chinese food in Metro Vancouver. read more

Bbong is the newest restaurant addition to Coquitlam's Hanin Village, and we tried it for the first time, for dinner one evening last week. The restaurant is located on the H-Mart supermarket side of the Village, at the corner at back. We arrived at 5:30 pm, were welcomed upon entry, shown to a booth, and provided menus and a large carafe of cold water and glasses. The restaurant was clean, neat and tidy. It has a variety of options when it comes to seating arrangements - open booths on one side, enclosed (walled) booths on the other side (for small and large groups), and tables with chairs in the central area (which can be moved together to provide seating arrangements for smaller-sized groups). One of the open booths was perfect for us, and provided a nice view of what was happening throughout the restaurant. Service to our table was friendly and helpful (especially appreciated when it came to pursuing the menu, and making a final decision on 'what', and 'how much' to order). We (couple) ordered and shared the following: - #46 - steamed dumplings (Jjin mandu) -- and #64 - stir-fried seafood and vegetables (Pal bo chae). - provided side dishes - potato, tofu & onion 'salad', kimchi. The dumplings + stir-fry made a fine combination - the dumplings provided a rice/noodle substitute, plus, added a little meat to the totally seafood and veggie main dish. It was an appealing, good-looking presentation. The banchan, though quite simple, added a tasty touch. The dumplings were good - coverings, thin, moist, and tender, and ingredients within, moist and tasty. The ingredients of the stir-fry - shrimp (a few large, many small ones), a few mussels (in the half shell, and sure good), many pieces of squid and octopus, sliced mushrooms (large and small varieties), sliced green and red bell peppers, several pieces of small, sweet corn, slices of carrot and onion, and a wonderful, tasty (mildly spiced) sauce - so well-prepared, with everything (all seafoods 'and' veggies) cooked just right. A major yum!! We much-enjoyed the food, and total dining experience at Bbong, and were so happy to have chosen it for dinner that evening - a return visit some time soon we hope. read more

Ordered Black bean seafood noodles with a side order of boiled/steamed gyozas. Service was quick. Food was ok. Not sure if black bean noodles was suppose to come with only one or two tiny cubes of pork but my biggest complaint that the meat to sauce to noodle ratio is always off. If more meat was added it might if helped a bit more. Felt like it was missing something. read more

Bbong - Ordered the family size - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Solid korean staple deep fried food with reasonable pricing. Best to come with 4-6 people and share so you will be able to share lots of dishes. Their set menu are the go to. Service is up to par but not the best. Their food comes out quickly eventhough its busy but then you will not get the regular check on how things are. Ending up you would have to grab server's attention to order or ask for something else. Tip: go in and put your name immediately at the sheet they provide if its busy. There is a pen attached to use. Quantity 5/5. Quality 3/5. Would definitely come back with an empty, hungry tummy. read more

This is a great place for some good Korean Chinese food. We went on a Saturday for lunch and didn't have to wait for a table. We ordered gan jajang and kanpoongi, our usual go to's. The food came out pretty quickly and I was impressed with the portions, especially with the kanpoongi. Were I to compare this place to Hee Rae Deung, the most popular Korean Chinese restaurant in the area, I would give Hee Rae Deung a slight edge in terms of overall taste. However, when all things are considered like wait time, price, portion size, taste, I'd definitely return to Bbong, especially if you don't want to wait in Hee Rae Deung's ever-present line! read more

Bbong - Gan jajang (we ordered extra noodles for the larger portion size) and kanpoongi, which was a very generous amount - very good food! - Korean Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Went to Bbong and we got the Combo B which consisted of the Jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), Ja Jyang Myeon (black bean noodle) and the Kam Pong Ki (chicken). Value-wise, this is good as you'll get full for sure. I like the chicken. It's kinda like sweet and sour chicken, but this one has more prominent lemon and pepper taste. It's a bit too much batter though, but maybe this is just the way it is with this dish. I love the noodles too. These are korean staple food I guess, so if you want to try korean food, this is the place to go. We also ordered the porkchop katsudon. Looking at the picture, we thought it was curry sauce, but turned out it's some kind of sesame. It came with salad and a scoop of rice. The pork chop was a bit too dry for me so I probably will not get this again. They serve you some banchans as well -- fish cake, kim chi, potatoes. Will be back if I'm in the area and I wouldn't mind trying other dishes. This is in the same mall as H Mart. Parking is okay. Lots of stalls and parking is free. read more

the black bean noodles are definitely the best thing and the portion for the tangsu fried pork was so big and it was so crispy :)

This is a Chinese food restaurant, but you can also taste Korean food. It has developed the famous Chinese food to the taste of Koreans and other people.

Bbong is a new restaurant close to H-Mart in the Korean Plaza.Bbong is a abbreviation for Jam-bbong, a spicy korean soup. I came here several times and told my friends about their tasty soup. What bbong does different is, they always stir fry their vegetables before putting it into the soup. That gives the soup the bbq flavour. Today, there was no stir fried vegetables. Instead I found a juicy Cockroach in my soup.I was almost finished with my soup and seeing the surprise mafe me sick to my stomach. I told and showed our waitress my soup. She quickly said she was sorry and walked off with it. Yet she charged me for my meal and that seemed to be the end of story.I almost threw up for i had consumed an entire soup with a oversize Cockroach! Never going back again. I told all my friends and family and now I am telling the whole world. For a newly opened restaurant they should try to be a little cleaner. . Yuck. read more

Solid 3.5 stars. Bumped it up to 4 because of the service. Most other Korean places around the area, we have to flag them down. But the servers were quite attentive here. I ordered beef short rib soup (with rice) and seafood pancake. My boyfriend ordered a dish that looked similar to veggies in a black bean sauce, with rice. I really LOVED the soup! It had a lot of flavour and the short rib was very tender. The seafood pancake was good too. However, my boyfriend's dish was alright. The flavour was good, but the texture of the stir fry veggies was a bit mushy. Definitely will be back for the soup!! read more
