Black bean noodle on the sweeter side. Took the chicken to go, it's a huge portion for two people. One of the best chili seafood noodles I've had, with decent amount of seafood (lots of onions and squid, one mussel, two prawns) Order using a tablet at your table, has call server button for extra onions, yellow radish, Togo box etc. super quick service. Large, clean and spacious space. Plenty of parking in the plaza parking lot. Free two hour parking as long as you register (scan QR code on the tablet, and register car details). Some designated reserved spots just for this restaurant.

The jjampong had a ton of fresh seafood including some very large prawns. But our favorite was the gochu japchae, which was very fresh and flavorful. The kimchi mandu was decent but the regular mandu was a bit dry. Ordering is a breeze through a tablet at the table. Definitely one of the better spots for Korean Chinese food.

That was a lot of deep fried goodness in one meal.

My hubby LOOOOVVEESS the kkanpungki. He tried so many kkanpungki from different korean restaurants around Vancouver and said that Hee Rae Dung's is still the best for him. - Kkanpungki: the chicken pieces were crispy and the sweet sour sauce was delicious (combo of tangy, sweet and a bit spicy) - Tang suyuk: the pork is crispy yet still tender. The sweet sour sauce is goood! My kid can eat this since it wasn't spicy at all. - Jjajangmyeon: good authentic black bean noodle. The sauce has bold flavor. The noodle was good and chewy - Jam bong: hearty warm soup for Vancouver cold weather but it was a bit too spicy for me. Lots of seafood inside. The restaurant is always busy. Be prepare to wait in line or go when they're just open for the day to avoid the line

Was in the Guildford area with my boyfriend on Thursday after work and felt like some Korean food…read moreand found this little hole in the wall with great ratings. It's a cute Mom and Pop place and we were promptly greeted warmly upon arrival. The restaurant was nearly full on a Thursday night, a good sign. They have a simple small menu and we ordered the LA Galbi and Beef Bimbimbop with rice in a hot stone bowl (+$1). For some reason, the LA Galbi doesn't come with a bowl of rice but is served with a small bowl of ox bone soup. The banchans sides were plentiful with Kim chi radish, bean sprots, potatoes, and sold kind of stewed beef with veggies. LA Galbi was solid and good quality of beef, flavourful, and quantity for $35. The beef bimbimbop with rice was good for $19. Overall, a solid cute local spot worth visiting and supporting.

Pleasantly surprised by their beef soft tofu soup as it is made so poorly in most restaurants…read more Broth was delicious and ingredients fresh, however, beef portion was kinda small and tough.

What a great place to celebrate Birthdays!! Or just have a good time with friends & family!…read more They not only offer special rates for the B-day Girl or Boy, they also go all out with staging a b-day song and light show and you even get to wear a Crown or a Tiara!! Staffs are very friendly and helpful as we were not familiar with their ordering system, they showed us and it was easily understood! Foodwise, this place has all of it ... from dim sum to BBQ meats to Hot Pot and Table Top Grill! All you need is a hungry tummy! Contrary to some reviews, items came very fast and there is no wait time ( even though the Saturday night we were at it was full packed ) once we ordered through their iPad it came within minutes! For vegetables and other items such as dim sums and condiments you can get them at the self-served counters. Only issue is their parking, located at Crystal Mall, the parking can be a challenge. Pro-tip : just drive straight down to P2 rather than waiting forever on P1

We'd been here once a few years ago for AYCE Hot Pot. Each person gets their own individual hot pot…read morehere. Back then I opted for a Miso flavored broth. I recall back then that the server came around and topped up my soup with more broth instead of just plain water. This made my broth quite salty, so I didn't care to drink the soup afterwards. Other than that, I remember that we really enjoyed this restaurant. The selection of foods was impressive, even for me who doesn't eat meat. Fast forward to now...this was our first time coming back for AYCE Hot Pot. Things have changed a bit since our previous AYCE Hot Pot experience here, and not really for the better. First of all, it used to be one of those places where you would get a piece of paper and use a pencil to mark what you want from the paper. Now they have an electronic tablet for you to order from. Not the most user friendly system. For instance, there's a section of the tablet that was marked "Vegetarian." This section only contained about 3 items and they were all Tofu/ Bean Curd type products. I was scratching my head thinking, "Where are all the vegetables?!" After a bit of thinking and wandering around, I finally figured out that you're supposed to get up and collect the vegetables yourself. There's a bar with veggies and other ingredients. You take a bowl and some tongs, and then put the ingredients into your bowl. So...some things get ordered form the tablet, and other stuff you have to collect yourself. Would have been nice if someone had explained this to us when we sat down. As for the veggies themselves...the selection is much smaller compared to what it was several years ago. Sufficient enough for me to still have a good meal; however, it paled in comparison to the selection of veggies we had to choose from on our first visit here several years ago. As for non-veggie items...a lot of items you get the first order free and then if you want more, you have to spend extra money for that. Ummm...that's kind of a bummer. Kinda defeats the purpose of AYCE which is to pay one fixed price and then eat all that you can for that price. I had Sukiyaki broth this time; thankfully the server came around and topped up my pot with plain hot water this time, instead of more broth. So I was able to enjoy drinking my soup this time. Also, the meal comes with one free ice cream and one free cotton candy. The ice cream was a choice of pandan or vanilla. The cotton candy comes from a machine. You get up and press the buttons on the machine to serve yourself. The machine takes awhile to warm up each time, so...a bit of waiting involved. Overall...the food and service were good; however, with the selection of food having gone down and with them charging extra for additional orders of certain items...the value is not as good as it was before.

Looks like competition is heating up around town, with this chain finally joining the dark side of…read moreAYCE goodness. About time. Parking is available in the parkade beneath the building, as well as on the side streets. The place is average sized, but it sure was packed. The waiting area here is way too small. People were crowding outside. Inside looks pretty dated (several restaurants have died in this space) and the renovations look pretty minimal. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Ordering was a bit annoying as they do it by tablet instead of order sheet, so my friends and I couldn't just fill out a form. We often had to wait a few minutes to find someone to top up water or soup or take our orders. The sauce station is pretty good, with the usual expected fixings. There is also a hot food station with chicken karaage which is nice. The food selection is very decent. Their claim to fame is their meat ring which surrounds the pot. See photos. This more for show, and is obviously a relic from their non AYCE days. Selection is a bit lighter than the competition, but there were no glaring omissions. They do have skewers for an additional cost. The staff didn't skimp out on any parts of our orders, which is also worth a special mention. Lastly, be sure to save some room for the ice cream. If I were to rank this place, I would put it slightly below Marble House (Crystal Mall) in terms of quality, but the pricing here is quite a bit better. I would gladly come back for more self destruction. Recommended.

I wasn't wowed with the broth or protein, it was just allot of protein. The snack bar was rather limited and the items were barely warm. Desserts at the bar was below average. The quality of the unlimited drinks was the highlight (non alcoholic). Not running back.

I called the place ahead of time for about 8 times trying to confirm the hour but it kept on going to the voice mail so I thought maybe it's too busy. It was completely empty except for one table! The food is decent and the frog is tender and they gave you plenty of them. However they are not as flavorful. The "soup"/sauce made many frogs too soggy. The place is not very big as you'd guess from outside and it has its own parking lot. The waitress is not very attentive as even though I was literally the only table there she didn't come over to refill the water until I beckoned her over.

This place was solid. It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad you know what I mean? Everything was just okay (which isn't a bad thing). We got cold noodle, galbi, soonduboo, and spicy sweet chicken. The groups fav was surprisingly the chicken it was sweet, salty and a wee bit spicy. Everything else tasted like how it should if that makes sense. The soonduboo was spicy and jiggly with all the soft tofu swimming in the broth. Galbi was more on the bland side but still good with all the banchan. Would I come back if I was in the area? Yes! But I would rather try other restaurants that Richmond has to offer.

But on a Saturday ~12pm, there isn't a line outside the door so we finally gave it a try and we were glad we did. We ordered the double decker noodles, garlic chicken noodles and galbi. The galbi were fall off the bones tender and packed with flavor. Double decker noodle was HUGE, and boldly flavored, and have a kick but not too spicy. The garlic chicken noodle was flavorful, creamy, and comforting. The only down side is the restuarant is a bit tight, you feel very close to the next table. But the food makes up for it.

My benchmark for Korean food is LA Koreatown. Nothing in in the lower mainland really compares…read more But Im pleased to say this place gets close. A lot of hype about this place when it first opened so I waited until now to visit to avoid long lines. I came on a Saturday for late lunch, around 2pm. Plenty of space, walked right in. We got the Galbi combo for 3. Includes 3 noodles of your choice, plus a kimchi pancake, plus an order of LA Galbi. Kimchi pancake - this was the weakest dish. Served with some iceberg lettuce on top with mayo. And the onion soy sauce dip. Pancake was soggy, not crispy at all even though it was hot. Not spicy at all either. I would not recommend this dish. 2/5. Waste of money. LA Galbi - slightly thicker cut and seemed to be very lean compared to LA galbi im used to. So it wasnt quite as tender and juicy but still pretty good. Well seasoned. 3.5/5. Too expensive. Double decker soup - this is basically pork bone soup with noodles. I asked for extra spicy. It was maybe medium spicy, so it looks like they toned it down for a Western palate. However, broth was well seasoned and VERY generous with the pork bone. Massive really, and when you add the noodles and broth, its a ridiculous amount of food esp for lunch. Noodles are fresh and chewy. Honestly no complaints about this dish. 5/5. Would recommend. This bowl alone is $22. Very reasonable. beef and mushroom noodle soup - spicy broth and generous with the mushrooms and beef. Same noodles as above. 4/5. Also huge portion. (our third noodle was another double decker). None of us 3 could finish our noodle bowl, or the galbi/pancake either. Come hungry. There is tap water on the table and takeout containers I believe were 25c if you needed one. Space was small but clean, not too cramped. Free parking at Crystal Mall. One shared bathroom in front. Clean enough. Service was good. They take credit card. They also had raw marinated crab on the menu. I'll try that next. If you want Korean noodles, this is an easy recommend. Just avoid the pancake and galbi - not good/overpriced.
