I had such a great time here, I was happy to tip on a dinner that came up to a $100 bill (for…read moremyself) for a menu combo that serves 3-4 people (BEEF COMBO serves 3-4 people.) I normally don't have expensive dinners but Jin Soo Sung was worth it! The beef WAS SO GOOD, SO TASTY paired with rice! Ssam (lettuce wrapped meat) was really good here too. Christy and Hazel, our servers for the table, were SUPER FRIENDLY, SUPER FAST I hope they get a nice raise from my positive review. They came and replaced our grill top many times and I really appreciate their attentiveness for that!!! I would DEFINITELY come back here again and try different things on their menu 5 out of 5 stars for everything.

My girlfriend can only have chicken, we asked the server whether the kitchen can accommodate her preference. A definite "Yes", she ordered Bulgogi ( instead of beef, they sub it with chicken). She enjoyed the meal very much! I had my favourite "Soon dubu Jigae " with beef - a stew with veggies, beef & soft tofu. It was yummylicious, next time, I will have to order it spicy! Hubby had his favourite cold noodles with pork collar. Service & food was good, restaurant interior was nice (reminded me of Seoul) Lunchtime on a weekday got very crowded, lots of people ordered the BBQ set for lunch special. We will be back!

trying to get a group of friends together with out of town guests isn't always easy, especially…read morewhen everyone's schedules are so hectic. a last minute decision to meet at hanwoori ended up being the perfect middle ground, with one couple even making the drive in from abbotsford. parking is a little limited, but once everyone arrived, the evening quickly settled into what korean bbq does best...bringing people together around the grill. the five of us, four adults and one child, shared combo b, which came with marinated prime beef ribs, beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, deep fried pork dumplings, japchae, and janguk (beef bone soup). we also added a seafood pancake and bibimbap because, let's be honest, it's hard to stop ordering once you get started. our server brought out the banchan, followed by the platter of raw meats, then proceeded to snip the beef short ribs into bite sized pieces with a pair of kitchen scissors, making them easier to handle, cook, and even better to eat. one of the things i enjoy most about korean bbq is that dinner becomes interactive, not just a meal. while the meat sizzled on the grill, we took turns cooking, pouring each other's water, passing dishes around the table, serving one another, catching up on life, and laughing our way through the evening. somehow, the best conversations always seem to happen around a hot grill. the marinated beef ribs were the highlight of the meats for me, tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. the different bulgogi selections offered a nice variety, while the japchae was savoury and satisfying. the seafood pancake arrived crispy around the edges, although it was a little greasier than i would've liked. the deep fried pork dumplings were the only real disappointment. the filling tasted like it was mostly cabbage, lacking the meaty flavour i was expecting. the banchan were fine, but nothing particularly noteworthy. my favourite dish of the night, though, was the janguk. rich, comforting, and deeply flavourful, it was the one thing i found myself wishing there was more of. unfortunately, our table of five was only served one small bowl each, and i honestly could've polished off another one or two helpings. by the end of the evening, we were full, happy, and in no rush to leave. while the food was good overall rather than exceptional, korean bbq has never really been just about the food for me. it's about gathering around the grill, slowing down, sharing a meal, and spending quality time with the people you're with. sometimes, that's exactly what makes dinner memorable.

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.

My second review of this restaurant, and the rating has dropped from 5 to 3 stars. I came here on a…read morecold winter day, in December, and it's 4 degrees outside. The interior is just as cold. There's no heat on whatsoever and everyone, even the boss (?) has got their winter jacket on. The woman next to me is currently blowing hot air into her hands. It's definitely not very comfortable and enjoyable eating while wearing bulky jackets. Seriously, is the restaurant just being cheap or something? Maybe their remedy is to have customers drink their hot soups. Not sure if ownership has changed but the food tastes different. The salad used to have a very refreshing dressing and had apples in it. Now, the whole salad is rather generic and the sauce is identical to those salads you find in Japanese all you can eat restaurant. The beef stew from the lunch combo also tasted different. It used to be rather rich and now it's meh. The rice cake in it was not cooked thoroughly as the middle part was still flour-y. I ordered the same food as 3 years ago and upon comparing , the portion has definitely shrunk, noticeably the juicy beef ribs and the black bean noodles. I hadn't taken any pictures because I had thought the food was identical to my previous pictures... Sorry yelpers, i should've taken some as proof. I am quiet disappointed with this place as I used to love their food and came here quite often before. However, this is definitely human cruelty. I'm sitting here shivering while i type this review. I'm not coming here anymore.

It gets quite busy over the weekend so I would recommend to make a reso, and they also don't have that many tables. It's not too loud in there, and they usually play k-pop. This time we ordered their combo A, which comes with pork collar and pork belly, along with soup and 2 rice. We added on beef tartare and a seafood pancake for 2 people and definitely had more than enough for leftovers! One thing that's good about Dolpan is that they also cook the meat for you too. I think their seafood pancake is super worth it because it comes with a lot of squid inside for only ~15! Another thing to add is that their alcohol is also reasonably priced. Would recommend going to Dolpan for any casual, cheap(ish) meal!

My meat on the stone... (some ppl always over exaggerated about their meat)…read more Finally got a chance to try out this new spot in the heart of KTown at Lougheed Mall during its "Soft Opening" (Okay almost at the heart of KTown... I just love it when businesses say they are doing a soft opening.. ) This place is located beside the TD Bank on the corner of Austin and North Road, a few stairs up from the street level with a paid parkade down beside it or there are free mall parkings but I don't know if that's part of the restaurant. I believe there is also an elevator below you can take to the restaurant level. The restaurant has a simple yet modern layout and decor; host counter by the entrance, 2 dining areas separated by a simple wall partition, kitchen to the back, private individualized washrooms with a community wash station to the back left side. Called for a reservation but said first come first serve basis (maybe only reservations for a large group?). Walked in, a short wait and got seated behind the host counter (nooooo.. Ramsay steakhouse Deja Vu..). Anyway, here were the food I ordered; 1. Gam Ja Tang (pork bone soup). This is almost a must order soup for me whenever I go Korean'ing. It was hot, very flavourful with almost all the ingredients I like, the meat was tender and had that fresh taste (Wish there was a little bit more soup though). 2. Gye Lan Jjim (steamed egg). Very nice! Came nice hot and fluff as it should be. 3. Galbisal (Premium beef combo $70/person). The short rib was pretty fresh but I had better ones in term of tenderness. The veggies and corn cheese that came with the combo was a bit weak. The combo kimchi soup was a bit too sour to my liking. The side dishes and lettuce were decent and all were refillable (yes even the lettuce for wrapping your meat). Overall, it was a mixed emotion dining experience. Started with OH fudge you just seated me at the tables behind the host counter, isolated and separated by a wall from the main dining area? (Gave me a little flashback of my experience at Ramsay's steakhouse?!?). Thank goodness that wasn't the case when I took a peek at the main dining area being all occupied. The owners and staffs were very informative and friendly. They were very engaging with all of the customers and making sure everything was okay on a regular basis. And of course they were going from table to table in doing the bbq'ing for everyone. It's nice but I generally would prefer to handle the meat myself rather than having someone else touching my meat (get your mind out of the gutter! I eat at a slower pace and when others bbq my meat too fast, it wouldn't be hot and will be dry when left hanging). As for the food; love the steamed egg, the gam ja tang was decent, the beef was fresh but could be a bit more tender and need to show the bone if the description said bone in short ribs plus it would make a better presentation, the veggies and corn cheese were a bit sloppy could use some improvement on that. Anyways, I would like to go back and give it a try when they are done with the soft opening (silly ppl, have some confidence in your product and service)), I do recommend giving them a try. A soft mutual rating for now.

Very disappointing experience at Stone Korean BBQ House…read more The overall experience did not live up to our expectations. The food quality was disappointing for the price, the portions felt small, and the service was not at the level we expected from a restaurant charging these prices. What bothered us most was the overall customer service. We left feeling that our concerns were not handled professionally and that the experience simply was not worth the money. There are many Korean BBQ restaurants in the Lower Mainland offering better value, food, and service. Based on our experience, I would not return or recommend Stone Korean BBQ House.
