Ordered the soya chicken, bbq pork and roasted pork combo, the bbq pork and roasted pork combo, a soup and veggies. The soup was a light broth filled with vegetables and shredded pork. Gailan was soft and easy to bite into. The soya chicken was topped with a scallion ginger oil. The roast pork was so crunchy and the bbq pork delicious. Popular place, line for take out was out the door.

It is small and quaint with some of the smaller combined tables having plastic dividers separating the diners. I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

The appetizer was the corn salad, fresh diced cucumber made this a hit. The miso soup was loaded with mushrooms which was great, and the broth was delicious. LA Galbi was very well made, tender with some chew, and the charred onions made this dish special, but the Kimchi fried rice was on another level delicious, rice cooked perfectly and mixed with the kimchi made every bite a complete joy. When you see on the menu the entree comes with two bowls of rice that means it's big enough for two. Enjoy, we definitely did. Top 5 Korean cuisine.

So far the best KBBQ experience I had in Vancouver…read more What we ordered: - Neukansal - Beef bulgogi - Pork Galbi - Kimchi Jjigae - Strawberry Makkoli Store policy they require minimum 2 B.B.Q. orders and minimum one order per person. Came with over 12 different side dishes which were refillable with no complaints. Meats were all solid. Pork galbi bang for your buck. We got three big slabs of meat from one order. HIGHLIGHT surprisingly was the kimchi jjigae. Probably the best I've had. Super flavourful. Also tried their strawberry makkoli which overall was good. Think they used fresh strawberries. Overall, a fantastic experience. Service was top notch, food top notch. Space is small, we went on a Friday evening with no reservation. They said it'd be about an hour but someone cancelled so we only waited 20ish mins. Since going, I went to another kbbq and could not stop thinking of going back to this place.

Here are my thoughts: - Beef Brisket: Good. As far as BBQ in Vancouver goes, it's above average. The meat is tender, the right amount of seasoning, but the smoke isn't noticeable. - Pulled Pork: OK. I liked that it wasn't completely shredded pulled pork, It was "chunky" so eating it felt more substantive. I didn't think it needed the extra sauce - I felt it was overpowering the meat. - Cornbread: Bad. Didn't finish it. - Fries: Good. Came out hot and fresh, and plenty of seasoning. Service was straight-forward and it checked all the boxes. Overall, the food was generally somewhat better than average when it comes to BBQ in Vancouver, but doesn't compare to the subtle complexity of the BBQ from the Southern USA. It's probably unfair to make the comparison, but I feel it's important for visitors to have the right expectations walking in.

The staff were friendly and efficient, and they gave us good instructions on how to cook the meats. Overall, the experience was pretty good.
