You have to order from 1, 2 and 3 to complete the set. They tell you the base cost in 1 and you can pick sides to add to the pan for free or for cost in step 2, 3. Except.. step 3 only has items priced at $5. I asked if I can just omit it and they said no, it is mandatory to pick one. Why don't they just add $5 to the base cost and then make step 3 free. Adding a price make it seems like I can choose to add it or not. So now the budaejjigae is $41 instead of $36 with sides I didn't really need. Quite pricey for a very simple ingredient dish. Soup base was very flavorful but not a lot of ingredients was in it for that price point. One thing I didn't like was the buying of positive reviews. They offer you free soda/pop for positive reviews only. Parking is limited but we did find a spot on a weekend lunch.

Since the ownership change, I've noticed some small shifts: prices have gone up a little, and the banchan seems to change more often (sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss). But the core dishes are still satisfying and cozy, I always get the soondubu, perfect when you're craving a hot, hearty meal that feels homemade. Service is friendly, portions are decent, and it still scratches the Korean comfort food itch, even if it's not exactly what it used to be.

They offer a variety of meat, cuts, and combo deals but on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, they have an all beef and all pork all you can eat. We went on a Wednesday and it was all you can eat pork belly and marinated pork, with a soup and unlimited kimchi pancake and sides all for $30. The servers were extremely attentive in asking about refills, whether that's the rice, meats or even side dishes. A great bang for your buck for all you can eat these days. We heard the staff speaking to many customers in Korean so it must be Koreans approved. Need to come back on a Tuesday to try their beef all you can eat!

I was craving this soup and glad I tried it here because it hit the spot! Tasted delicious, didn't have to wait for a table, and it was reasonably priced then. Came back here last night for dinner with my family and was finally able to try the bbq items. It was a hit! We ordered 2 of the combo A which was the perfect servings for 2 adults and 3 (very hungry!) teenaged boys. Not only did it come with 3 meat types (thinly sliced pork belly, marinated beef Bulgogi, and one other thinly sliced beef), it also came with soup, banchan, and a big bowl of Bibimbap. We also ordered their seafood pancake which was perfectly crispy and not too thin or thick. The actual bbq grill itself was the best one I've seen at a Korean restaurant because it was non-stick, temperature controlled really well, and it didn't leave us smelling like the food after dining. The ventilation must've been good here as it wasn't super smoky at all. The best dish was definitely the bean paste soup! We all loved it and had never tried it before, so next time we have Korean, it will be a staple in our order! It wasn't too busy last night so we were seated right away. Staff were friendly and while they were short-staffed, they were quick enough to get what we requested and ordered in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, the food was a bit underwhelming overall. The bossam was over-boiled and quite bland--it also didn't come with any lettuce or cabbage for wrapping, which was a letdown. The short ribs were a little chewy and unevenly marinated, resulting in some flavorful bites but also a lot of bland ones. The tofu soup was solid, but I do wish they served the egg on the side so we could crack it in ourselves--mine ended up with a fully boiled yolk, and I prefer it runny. The tteokbokki was decent; the rice cakes were firmer than I like, and there was barely any fish cake in the dish. We also tried the fried squid rings, which were mostly good, though one of the larger pieces had an odd pasty texture--possibly under-fried or over-battered. All in all, not a terrible experience, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me.

We got the army stew (Budae jjigae) to share plus an order of Korean fried chicken. The staff recommended that when we asked what RO order for an appetizer or side. She said the fried chicken is the popular item. The soy garlic chicken was delicious. I like the army stew which is a guilty pleasure as it contains mostly processed meat like spam and sausage and a slice of American cheese and instant noodle. My friend never tried it before and while she liked the soup, she didn't like the processed stuff. She mostly had the tofu and rice cakes in there. The place was quite busy when we we were there on a Tuesday night. I guess it is a popular spot in the area. Parking is available out front.

They had a great variety, I ordered the Spicy Tofu Soup, LA Kalbi, Japchae, and Bossom to share. Others ordered individual Bibimbaps that came with several garnishes.

Place was clean, fast service. Special shout out to Audrey and Olivia for a wonderful dining experience! Highly recommend if ever in the Langley area!

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!
