Bowls Korean BBQ - Stopped in for a quick meal, the table ordered Japchae and StoneBowl Bibimpap on the way to the airport. The service was excellent (Thank You, Elin!), fast and friendly and patient with our questions (Bowls has a large menu), and happy to make suggestions. The dishes were generous, hot and delicious. (And yes, I did need the scissors to manage the sweet potato noodles in the Japchae!) The restaurant was clean, restrooms spotless, and there is plenty of parking. All-in-all, a Five-Star dining experience. Bowls Korean BBQ will top my list on my next visit to Calgary. read more

my daughter and I ate here and thought the food we ate was pretty good. the waitress was really nice and helpful.

Worst Korean food in Calgary. I ordered takeout 2 items beef bulgogi and soybean soup. The beef was dry and over cooked and the soup was the worst. I'm Korean and this was not even close to soybean soup. I've attached a pic. Best to stay away read more

One of the best korean food that I've ever had especially the seafood pancake and galbitang. Seafood pancake is crispy, light and also moist. Galbitang soup is super rich but still clear and has so much flavor. We also try their new menu (oriental fried chicken), it so yummy. It's crispy and also well marinated. Love the side salad that comes with the fried chicken, it's actually remind me of my favorite salad grows up in Indonesia (Hokben salad) if someone ever try their salad in Indonesia. read more

We ordered here from Doordash for the first time and it was delicious. The owner was very courteous and friendly. Honestly we woofed this food down. The sauce that came with the wings was more sweet than it was spicy. Very yummy and things tasted fresh. read more

This visit I feel very disappointed with their beef bulgogi dish. It tasted awful. It looked like it's been marinated for too long that meat texture gets very mushy. Me and my friends told the waitress about it but they just apologized, didn't do any adjustment about the dish. read more

Bowls Korean BBQ - a table full of food - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Our friends took us to dinner here on Friday night and we were not disappointed. This new restaurant has replaced the Thai place that was here about a year ago. If you are craving some flavorful Korean food, this is this place to go! There is plenty of parking (It is located next to the very popular dim sum place, tpot). The restaurant is larger in size with adequate seating and very nice decor. We had excellent service throughout. The owner was very friendly and took the time to tell us his recommendations and even came back a couple times to see how we were enjoying our meal. The prices are definitely a touch higher but if you share a few dishes together, you will be very full and happy! Altogether each couple paid about 50 bucks including tip. We ordered seafood pancake, chili garlic fried chicken, beef bulgogi, pork ribs, a spicy hot soup, with plenty of sides. My favorite was the seafood pancake, Korean fried chicken and all the meats! It was very tasty and the meat was well marinated. They had a variety of sides like Kim chi, jalapeno, deep fried zucchini amongst other delicious options. We were absolutely stuffed but completely satisfied after our meal. If you love Korean food, check this place out. We plan to return hungry again:) read more

I was taking my son and his two best friends nearby to flying squirrel World largest indoor trampoline park so I asked my son to research where we should go for lunch before hand and I'm so glad he found this place. My son and I were the only caucAsians in the restaurant as his friends are Taiwanese but the staff took pity on my son when he needed a knife and fork to chop up his short ribs instead of using chopsticks. The food was absolutely delicious delicious and quite reasonable at $14 each for a massive lunch special - The staff were very nice and we will definitely come back again sometime when we have more time. I am intrigued by the photos especially for the email and the full squid. I've never eaten a squirt all in one sitting they literally have the whole thing that had the body the tentacles even the eyeballs. Who knows maybe it's delicious? Or hopefully at least more delicious than it's Photo. read more

Bowls Korean BBQ - Lunch special extra spicy pork - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Very nice Korean dishes. Had bulgogi and squid, seafood omelette, short ribs, clear soon tofu hotpot and kimmari appetizers. Excellent price and very pleasant and fast service. Restaurant is large and bathroom was clean. Pleasant dinner out. Thanks guys. read more

This was a Thai place before I believe and now they changed it to a Korean restaurant. The ambiance is good with very comfortable chairs- couches I would say. Server was soft spoken though she needs to be more familiar with Korean dishes. We ordered fried chicken, bibimpop (with beef bulgogi), and kimchi chigeh. The chicken was good, the bibimpop was just okay - they don't give enough sauce and no sesame oil with it. The kimchi soup was very good though. There wasn't enough side dishes and no refills of those either. I think its a bit pricey for what we got. I will probably won't come back here- though it's the only Korean restaurant I know near our area! Sad! read more

Food here was good but very over priced compared to a lot of other places that I've been to. I can order the same amount of deokbokki at another restaurant for 10-12 dollars and this place sells it for almost 20. Service was the one I thing I can't help but to complain about. I went with my friend and we stood inside for about 5 minutes until an older man finally noticed us, and seated us despite it not being busy at all. After we were seated we waited for 15 minutes for him to come back and take our order, only for him to come over and literally tell us "I forgot you were here." (?) Yup. Haven't gone back since. read more

It was recommended to me from a friend and now it's one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary. Great Korean comfort food with great staff. It's a great place, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try Korean food. read more

Love the decor in here and it's setup for small and large groups with a fireplace and old chandeliers. Our waiter was polite but service was slow considering there were only 4 other tables at noon. We weren't very hungry and ordered the chill chicken skewers to start. The chicken tasted old and was tough and chewy. Luckily it was only 2 sticks of meat for $6. We shared the seafood omelette which had a very crunchy, slightly charred crust. It was like 9 or 10inch rice cake with bits of shrimp and squid, and green onions. It was a bit greasy but tasty with the sauce that came with it. The 2 of us were unable to finish it and left 3 pieces. We also shared a bowl of steamed rice. Overall, some basic improvements would help as this place has potential to be better than what it was. read more

Food was okay, the hot pot that we ordered was disgusting along the lines of not edible. We ordered the combo A meal which is for 2 people. The only thing I really enjoyed was the salad. The portions are quite big. A little pricey too. The decor was nice, staff was very friendly, I do value good service. recommend: no Would return: no read more

Really friendly staff and always a good meal. Best Korean food in the north end of they city. If you get a chance to try their lunch special it is a fantastic meal for not much money. Try these guys out and you won't be disappointed. read more

We went here for lunch. It was quiet and clean. Our server was great! I had the Korean Style Chicken Fried Rice. It was flavorful and cooked just right. read more

Came for a quick lunch here and I ordered 2 items. I ordered their Deep Fried Lotus as an appetizer and for my lunch I ordered Stone Bowl Bibimbap with Beef Bulgogi and it came with four side dishes. The lotus was cold not a hot dish which I was surprised and it was a very small serving for the price. The Bowl was OK the portions were small and not enough sauce in it. The one thing going for them is their home made gochujang hot sauce which was really good! Total cost was about $25 for a bowl and lotus root. The overall service was very friendly and accommodating, waiting staff was great. Overall the price is high for what you get. read more

Let me first off, state that I live in Toronto, where the Korean foods are much better than in Calgary and Edmonton on average. The foods are generally ok. The owners and employees are rather friendly. Their kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) is definitely above average. Their side dishes are ok, and I'd not say great. Generally, the foods are good. The Seafood Pancake that I ordered was burnt, I ate about half of it, didn't feel like finishing it. I'd not order this again. This seems like a recently opened place, and they try hard to give good service. The location is close to the airport. I stayed at a hotel near the airport, and this was probably the closest Korean restaurant from my hotel (Homewood Suites). My mom ordered bibimbap. But it was a bit blend, but ok to eat. My sister ordered soondoobu jjigae (tofu stew), she thought it was average. Any in terms of location-wise, it's convenient. You don't have to go to downtown for decent Korean food. :) The decor is ok. Fireplace in the middle of the serving hall was kinda nice... Again, if it wasn't for the burnt pancake, they would have gotten better review. The owner offered us patbingsu instead (shaved ice dessert), we declined. read more

The food is good here but it's very pricey. They don't give you banchan (Korean side dishes) which is a shame because most Korean restaurants do give them out. service is ridiculously slow considering there were only 2 tables in a huge restaurant! read more

Good bento, the deluxe option really improved it. It is a little hard to find with Yelp/Google maps location search

Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Prices are a bit high, but if you're there for their lunch specials then it's a really good deal. The waitress was so bubbly and friendly too! read more

The food was great, speedy service and the prices was little high. Tried the Balgogy, need hot spot and the full fried squid. The spicy fried chicken was fire spicy . Recommended read more

Excellent food and wonderful service, friendly waiters. We really enjoyed it and we will definitely come back many more times. They have new regular customers. Love it read more

My family and I went to this lovely restaurant when it used to be Thai cuisine and is now Korean, and let me tell you, it's much better now as a Korean restaurant! We managed to talk to the manager as we were here until closing and he is such a friendly fellow. He told us that none of the cooks are professional but are actually Korean home cooks that work for them, so patience is needed as they are not used to cooking in large volumes that normal restaurants do. But it's all worth the wait, the food is cooked well and it's all very flavourful, plus the staff are all very friendly as well -making the restaurant pleasant and inviting. I'm giving it a 4/5 only for the time it took to get a table as they weren't cleaning them as frequently as they should. The one table behind us stayed dirty for almost an hour after we got there, but I'm sure they will get the hang of it soon enough. For "not having a restaurant background" (as the manager put it) this place is a must try! You won't be disappointed. We ordered the "meal for 2-3" for us family of 4 and it was more than enough, plus great value for price. read more

For $30 per person, the serving sizes and food quality are not worth the price. It calls itself BBQ, but there is no grill at the table; all the meat comes on a hot plate. The flavours were decent. For Korean food, it was definitely on the bland side. The portions were rather small for being one of the most expensive combos on the menu. There are better Korean restaurants in town, that can feed you for less money, and better quality. read more
