This is ridiculous!!! Last night we waited inside the small restaurant for more than 1hour and end up they let the people far later came to go head of us! Unbelievable!!! Won't go back again! We waited in line for more than one hour, no staff came over to greet. We waited quietly for our turn but they let the people behind us to go in! Maybe because the people behind us were Korean. Ridiculous! We left right away. Won't go back definitely! read more

What a hidden secret! My Hubbie and I really enjoyed their food. Korean dishes we tried was spicy soft tofu soup and seafood pancake and both were so tasty and flavorful. The pancake is unlike any other Korean restaurant we have been. They also have quite unique items you don't see typically in Korean restaurants. Which is great because we enjoy "authentic" foods. We live 30 mins away and we will definitely drive here next time we want Korean food. Yum! read more

2018. 04. 23. I had a lunch with my previous manager nearby the Chinook Center. The name of the restaurant called Han Corea Korean Restaurant, which is a small Korean Restaurant, is hidden in the community in front of Chinook Mall. It's a friendly family based Korean Restaurant, which services surprised and authentic Korean Dishes. Besides that, it offers free self-serve water, tea, and rice, which is a nice! We arrived the restaurant right after 12 pm on the weekday. It was still very busy. But, we were very lucky and found the table fast. We had very amazing experience eating at this restaurant. We only ordered the pork bone Stew with bulgogi, tofu, enoki mushrooms,  onion, green onion, rice cakes and cellophane noodles to share. The taste of the soup was great depth and flavour. The bulgogi was very chewy. It was a super large portion, which could serve more than 3 people. The small cold dishes were great too, which were including bean sprouts, marinated egg, daikon and seaweed, soy sauce dipping sauce, mushrooms, salad, kimchi and cold style pancake. They were tasty and authentic. The owner and servers of the restaurant are all Korean. I guess that's why the food at Han Corea Restaurant are authentic and delicious. Highly Recommend people to try out Han Corea Korean Restaurant. read more

Legit! Does not feel like you are sitting in a South Calgary industrial park. If you like Korean grub this is worth checking out for sure.

Beast Korean food in Calgary. It's always my first choice for the Korean food. I wish I could eat it every day.

came across here coincidentally but i'm so glad i did!! some of the best korean food i've had in a while. it was very authentic and the side dishes were immaculate. would 100% recommend to anyone in the calgary area!!!! read more

I really like this place a lot of excellent sizzling dishes. if you want some authentic Korean fare. then this is definitely one of the best places to go in Calgary. read more

Was in town for the Stampede and left the rodeo craving some good Korean food. Thanks to Yelp, help wasn't far away! The inside of the restaurant is nice and cozy, around 4-5 tables depending on how they arrange them. The small size helps when you're competing with the other tables to get your unlimited rice refills ;). For two people, we ordered the LA Kalbi and pork kimchi jigae. The kalbi was nicely marinated and tender, and the pork kimchi jigae was some of the best I've had! On top of that, banchan had great variety, including some that you don't often see. Highly recommend getting seconds of the fishcake and rice cake; it was great! One minor quibble is that the menu is lacking is some appetizers in the $6-12 range. Pretty much everything on the menu is a main course. Other than that, Han Corea is a "hole in the wall" gem! read more

After eating junk foods on the road got us super craving for some Korean food. We had NengMyung (cold noodle) and boy was it delicious! You can't get NengMyun this good anywhere including Korea (ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit). The servers were being great too. I would definitely come back if I ever come to Calgary. Water & Rice is self served but is unlimited and free! read more

This is place serves authentic Korean Food just like in Korea. The spicy squid and pork was so awesome, bursting with the right spice melts together perfectly with squid and the pork. The rice cake took us all by surprise as the vegetables and fish cake just compliments the rice cake so well together we all went back for more than what we should of had. The free side dishes were very well done quite a variety that you don't get at most other places it was very good. The kimchi soup was typical but still good, we should have ordered the seafood soup I believe that would have been more flavorful. The other dish was ordered by my other family member but you have to like intestines and blood sausage like type of sausage. It was good but not something I would run for. Everyone else love it. So majority rulesup. Their self serve rice was really good as well. Over all this Resturant really took me by surprise as it looked like the little restaurants in Korea the taste is even the same. The real down side to this restaurant is its too small they turned away many customers as this place got full so fast. We for sure be back for more. I really want to thank everyone that gave honest review to this place this is reason I got to try this place. You guys wrote some awesome reviews. Thanks to all Yelpers you guys are really great keep the reviews coming! read more

Han Corea - Meat lover stew - Korean Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Not bad for a first timer at the restaurant. I placed a reservation at 7pm, but we got there quarter after 6. Since I've read some reviews about the small restaurant's size and sitting capacity, I've expected that we won't have a seat right away. But anyways, we got a table after 15 mins of wait, which for me is not so bad as I've expected even longer wait. The food was a bomb! It definitely paid off the wait. The service was really great - so much faster than I've expected. Although there were just the two servers doing all the front works, our food got to our table no longer than 15 mins. after being seated. All in all, it was a great experience. 4 stars, as I wished they had bigger space and more tables and chairs. But keep up the great service read more

With all the hype here we decided to go tonight after my kid's Winter Concert, it was packed and we have to wait for about 20-25 minutes to grab a seat. The waitress ushered us nice and warm, and so With the review saying the bulgogi stew and seafood pancake were great so I ordered it after much thought. The side dishes came first, and I must say it's the most variety I've seen so far out of the restos we've been through. It has kimchi , pickled radish, sausages, sautéed mushrooms, seaweed salad and lettuce . Pancake seafood cake next, it's thick , and not the thinner version I've been used to, it had too much flour and less seafood than I thought, more onions making it dry and not as tasty. The sauce isn't to the taste I've been expecting , seems diluted so as not to be spicy. Beef bulgogi stew came and was cooked a little later, serves 2-3 but I think it's For 4-5 people, nevertheless, they tried to make it quick. There's enoki mushrooms, tofu, beef, glass noodles and some fish on it. A little sweet broth with a hint of pepper. Altho I personally love the pork stew, this is a different twist altogether. It would have been great if not for the seafood pancake, but with the service and effort, plus the awesome side dishes, thus the 3 stars. read more

Worst dining experience ever! Food took more than 45 minutes to come and they keep the side door open on a very windy day. The garbage bin literally fell down by my feet. The server told us that one of our dishes is not available and ask us to order something else and then we have been left all by ourselves since. There's many Korean restaurants out there, don't come if you expect at least an average service!! read more

Tasty bulgogi! I also tried the seafood pancake but it was disappointing. It's very thick and soggy, I prefer Korean pancakes to be thin and crispy like what other korean restaraunts offer. read more

I came here with my boyfriend who already stuffed himself with food before he picked me up after my work. I specifically told the server I was the only one eating when the server sat us down. However, when I ordered only one dish, she told me each person has to order 1 dish and that was their last exception. I had come here before and know their food was good but that was just rude to tell your customer how many dishes they have to have, especially when I told you from the beginning the other person is not eating (and I mean he didn't even touch their cutlery). I have been to countless restaurants in my life and countless time where I or the other person was there for the company only and not the food; yet this is the first that gave me such attitude. That was the most awkward meal I have ever had in my life and we'll never ever come back to such a money hungry business. read more

Like what most of the other reviews have mentioned, this is a hole in the wall. How you know it's legit authentic Korean food is probably the fact that it's connected to the Korean community center. It's a small restaurant that can seat roughly 20 people. There is a unlimited water and rice station where you can help yourself. Service is prompt; food comes out as quick as you order it. This family owned establishment provides satisfaction guaranteed Korean food. You'll definitely walk out feeling content and big-bellied. read more

A hidden gem! A must-try if you love Korean food. Just make sure to make a reservation as places fill up quickly!

I like this Korean restaurant so much. It is a family restaurant restaurant I think. Very tradition Korean cuisine. The side dishes are different every time and so delicious. And you ask for refill of the side dishes any times you want. Rice and water are also free. I highly recommend their pork feet and pork bone soup. The sizes are super large, so I suggest you come with your friends. It opens until 1am at midnight too. I give it 4 star only because it's location is kinda far away and inconvenient for people who don't drive. Overall a great restaurant. No.1 Korean restaurant in Calgary. read more

Pretty tasty hole in the wall. Food is homey comfort food. Had the bulgogi beef and chicken and the spicy pork and squid. All were very flavourful. We had takeout but didn't get any Kim chi appetizers which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, no complaints. Will be looking forward to trying some of the other traditional Korean dishes some of which even look a bit exotic even for my Asian tastes. Spicy pig tripe? Who knew. read more

Love how authentic this restaurant is. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated despite the place being packed. While the prices at first seem a little expensive for a "hole in the wall" the serving sizes are super generous. My bf and I shared a spicy chicken bulgogi, a fish cake soup and a seafood pancake. The fish cake soup was a bit bland but the pancake and spicy/sweet bulgogi more than made up for it. It was great reading others reviews beforehand to find out about the self serve rice and water. It's not obvious that's how it works. We took part of our meal home because with your meal came the assortment of apps like kimchi, dried fish, and so on. They were refilled once we had finished them. I could have made a meal out of the apps alone. While it does say they offer some drinks of the booze variety, when my bf tried ordering a beer, he was told they currently weren't serving any liquor. Just a heads up for those expecting more than tea or water during their meal. Will go back to try some of the shared meals they offer on the menu. read more

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend on Friday night it was soooo packed. Make reservations!!!!! They don't speak good English here but they were super friendly. Food was so good. We had the spicy squid and pork....yummy. Portions are really big and its self serve all you can eat red bean rice. Will come back again but with a big group so we can try more items. read more

But closer to a five. Solid food. It's just below the Calgary Korean Association. Filled with Korean moms and dads. THIS is comfort food. How can you go wrong??! We got the kimchi jjigae and dwaejibulgogi. Awesome! read more

I came here with my mom on a Monday for lunch. Portions are huge! Unlimited rice was a nice touch because they give you so much meat. We can't handle much spice but the girl attending to us gave some amazing recommendations. I'd love to come back here with more of my family in tow to help us tackle the meal read more

Small restaurant but was able to just walk in on 8 pm and was able to get a seat. I had doubts having tried other korean restaurant at Calgary. But this restaurant had surpassed our expectations. Lots of delicous side dishes with refills. All good food and authentic , gives generous amounts. Would love to go there again if i visited calgary again read more

Great Korean food!! Genuinely nice and friendly staff with unlimited side dishes and rice, delicious~ delicious~! What can you ask for more??!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I have been here few times, the food and service were good. For my visit today, I had to wait for half an hour for rice after they brought my soup dish, so didn't have rice until my soup got cold. The side dish were also brought to us after we started eating. The only staff in the dining area didn't seem to care if there is rice not, you have to have rice for your Korean soup! Very disappointed experience, and will never go back. read more

A "hole in the wall" below a Korean cultural center. The decor is nothing special but the food is wonderful. Authentic bulgogi and kimchi jigae, and some more adventurous dishes like blood sausage and tripe soup. Don't expect wine, but there are many varieties of soju to sample. read more

This is the fourth Korean restaurant I have tried in Calgary now and it is the best. Service was great, food was fresh! If you like Korean food or think you could try it this place is an absolute must. read more

Tiny little place with amazing food!!! Couldn't be anymore authentic then hopping a plane. The service was excellent. The food was outstanding. Weren't sure what to order and our waitress was great in helping us choose some fantastic dishes. A real hidden gem and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back. Loved it! read more

Service is great. Food is amazing. Good portions and quality. Big wait lines, def make a reservation!

Greasy table.. typical korean smell that'll stick to your hair and clothes as the kitchen is just beside the small dining area. Came here as a family of five, 3 adults and two kids, ordered bacon strips cost 38$ (which is good for 4), beef bulgogi and korean hot pot galbitang, the server didn't allow us saying the two kids have to order a full meal each (supposed to be five orders minimum)..what???? How could we eat it all and expect a 11 and 15 kids to finish a plate of bulgogi... the server refused our order, we are regulars here and we know for the fact that a plate of bulgogi is much too much for one person...imposing us to order 5 meals? they are crazy! we left in disgust, never to come back here again! read more

My daughterand I had been craving for Korean food for a while. Big surprised we found this place. Definitely will be back again when visiting cow town. Very friendly family owned restaurant. Best kimchi soup in town. read more

I had lunch there, Kim chi soup was amazing. My place is in Fullerton 30 minutes away from Los Angeles, many top Korean restaurant in the area but still ham Korea had better taste. I will come back for sure. read more

I ordered bulgogi here, expecting the usual good quality. Unfortunately, the meat they served was almost rancid and completely unfit for serving. Certain mistakes may happen from time to time but something like this is completely inexcusable. read more

Busy place when I visited on Sunday during lunch hour. Authentic Korean food, all customers are Asian, Korean mostly. Great food, great free appetizers. I will definitely come back. read more

We made reservation at 630pm, arrived 620 and waited until 715! All the while I was trying to calm down a hungry toddler. The food was ok, but they kept the internal temperature so high and the fact that the inside was really small made us very uncomfortable. not recommended if you have kids and don't bother making reservations cause they don't seem to care and will not honour it anyways. read more

One of my favorite Korean restaurants in Calgary! The food is always so tasty and I love all the starters they bring out at the beginning. You get unlimited rice, water and tea as well. My favorites are the rice cakes, kimchi soup and the octopus hot pot. read more
