Hearty and delicious - all I can ever ask for when I'm craving a nice steamy bowl of soup…read more Between 2, a big bowl of galbi-tang served with rice and a regular order of steamed dumplings was more than enough to satiate our hunger. The dipping sauces for each respective order paired nicely with the food. On another visit, I thoroughly enjoyed the soondaeguk and left feeling happily stuffed. Dookbaeki might just be my default local spot for soups. With a large seating space, we were seated immediately (came just after 8 on a Thursday evening with a party of 6) though they can get busy! Last time I visited ~6pm there were few tables open but were seated quickly as well.

It was quiet when I arrived for an early lunch. Typical of many Korean restaurants, there is a…read moreservice bell at the booth which makes it easy to flag down a server. I went for the sogogi dolsot bibimbap. It was served quickly and came with a large variety of banchan. I loved the bottle of spicy red sauce and probably added way too much, but it was so tasty. The rice crisped up on the dolsot at the bottom and provided a nice texture. The kimchi banchan was delicious so was the fish cake banchan. I recently saw a few foodies post about this spot so I assume they're going to get pretty busy soon. I will try and get a group of friends next time so we can try more things. You also get a yakult at the end of your meal. Easy parking in the lot, or pay parking on Anson. Come check it out!

We were a table of 6 people. We each ordered the lunch special. I got the plain tofu beef soup with rice. It was quite tasty. However, I did find the portion size somewhat small. Parking is hit and miss. There are only a few parking spots in front of the restaurant. There are plenty of parking spots on the street. Service was ok. Not the best but passable.

This is my third time coming to DooBoo. I was introduced to this place by my Korean friend. I have…read morenever had soft tofu soup before. But this has become my absolute favorite. I often crave sundubu and DooBoo comes to my rescue. The soup is perfectly spiced. The medium can be quite spicy, so go for mild and add gochujang if you need to up the spice level. The service is prompt and nice - no fuss! I have also tried their japchae. While it's pretty good, it's a tad bit on the expensive side. Their pancakes are pretty delectable too. I like their stone bibimbab. It is pretty good in taste with great quantity for the price.

This is great as we don't read Korean and it has pictures for everything. We ordered a regular kimbab and the jang teo gook bab, which is a stew like dish with beef, veggie and rice. You can also customize how spicy you'd like right on the tablet. Both items we got were very good. The gook bab was still a bit spicy for me even though I ordered less spicy but the flavor is absolutely amazing. The booth is meaty and savory. The Kimbab was a yummy as well. It's much lighter than the gook bab. And my favorite out of all, is the soup that they provide for FREE. Hands down the best free soup ever. Food is yummy, portion is generous, service is great. I'm definitely coming back soon :)

My favourite has to be the tuna kimbap! Always a classic and can never go wrong Cold noodles are also such a treat in the hot weather we're having in Vancouver right now. However, I have to admit that this cold noodle was not as good as I thought it would be . I have also had the tteokbokki and chicken. It sounded so good I had to order it despite ordering it before and not liking it . They give a large portion so it's a good food to share with a party of friends! This is probably personal preference but the tteokbokki was a bit too soft and overcooked for my taste. I also think I prefer to have fried chicken and dip it into the tteokbokki instead so overall this dish was not my favourite.

Easy spot to recommend when you just want a satisfying meal that never really misses.

The tteokbokki was a little sweet and had a more meaty flavour. The tteok was a little sweet too, good chew. The hot pot was literally full of meat, all so tender. Two of us got through maybe half of it, there was so much meat! Quite a value spot if you're looking for Korean soup in Edmonds.

Tofu pockets (yubu chobap) are basically seasoned fried tofu skin with rice and other toppings. We tried each flavour they had and my fave was the bulgogi. I would probably go back to order the same or try their rice bowls or Korean toast. It seems that they rebranded and changed their menu. From looking at reviews, the previous restaurant there was called Kim's Table but the owner seems to be the same. The place is now called Tae's Korean Cuisine The place looks quite similar to before as well.

They offered variety of popular Korean street food, snacks or meals, such as kimbap aka seaweed rice roll, ramen, tofu pockets and street style toast! Too bad I only have one stomach, but I tried to order for almost all the different kinds on their menu. * Kimbap combo ($11.50): Kim's signature kimbap + combo includes: cream soup, kimchi, deep fried seaweed roll, and choice of candied sweet potatoes or pan-fried butter potatoes. Such a great value combo. The kimbap stuffed with lots ingredients and tastes really healthy. The combo cream soup surprised me a lot, which I don't really expect much but it was actually quite flavourful and tasty. Even the deep fried seaweed roll and candied sweet potatoes are delicious. * Seafood ramen ($9.5): ramen itself cooked well. Great aal dente texture and just perfect amount of water. They also added a lot of colour vegetables on top and a little bit of mixed seafood which makes you feel (better) when you eat ramen(?). I just hope the seafood mixed can be a bit more since its "seafood" ramen. * Tofu pocket combo ($14.5): Choice of any 6 tofu pockets + Kimchi: I choose tuna mayo, crab meat, kimchi bacon, Boolgogi, salmon, and shrimp garlic. I like the shrimp garlic and salmon the best. Shimp garlic came a bit later because they made it fresh. The smell is fragrant as they stir-fried it. Overall, great food with nice customer service. It's a family run restaurant with lots of care to their food. Give it a try to this little shop when you're in the neighborhood.

Came here on a rainy day. They offered either water or barley tea. I love barley tea, and it was…read morevery comforting during the dreary weather. We were quite hungry, and asked for advice regarding sizes, and were advised to order the following for 2: -Pork Tang Su Yuk (Large: 39.00$): Comes served with a thick, syrupy, sweet and sour sauce on the side. The sauce contains some fresh produce such as cabbage and onions, which is quite nice and refreshing, and cuts through the sauce, providing a different flavour in addition to the fried umami of the pork. I appreciate that the sauce comes served on the side, because I like my food CrUnCHy -Ja Jang Myun (Regular: 13.50$): It was tasty, very onion forward (which I LOVE). My only comment was that I was expecting the sauce to have little pieces of pork in it, and I personally did not detect any, which translated to a bit of a superfluous sauce. Afterwards I checked the menu, and it does say that there is minced pork in the sauce, so I'm not sure... This was more than enough food for 2 people (we got leftovers to take home), and I think the perfect amount of food for 3. I appreciate good portion sizes. Additionally, they served yellow radish, and kimchi radish cubes with it, and had vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper powder at every table. The server was kind, the vibes were quaint, family-owned, "mom and pop" hole in the wall, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

Only went to this restaurant one other time but remembered loving the food here, so decided to come…read moreback here again. Especially when I saw Omurice on the menu. I was pretty sure that my daughter would jump at the chance to have Omurice and I was absolutely right about it! I'm not sure if they normally use any kind of meat or meat broth in their Omurice. It's not listed on the menu, so I inquired about making the dish Vegetarian. The waitress asked if I was OK with egg. Seems like a lot of people don't really understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. If I were asking for a vegan dish...well there's just no way I could eat the dish as the egg is the "Omu" part of the dish and therefore the main attraction. I got the point across though that I just didn't want any chunks of meat or meat broth used in the dish. (It was my daughter's dish mainly but I wanted to try it, and she's fine with eating vegetarian foods even though she does still eat meat.) It was a really yummy Omurice and I think we may have just found a new favourite of ours on the North Shore! I ordered the same vegetarian Jab Chae Rice that I ordered last time and it was just as good as I remembered it. It really puzzles me though that this dish is listed under the Rice section. It does come with a bowl of white rice but it's a freakin huge platter of noodles and the noodles are really the main star of the dish...not the rice! Grandma ordered the Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice which is supposed to be a Seafood fried rice with vegetables and pork in black bean sauce, topped with a fried egg. She wasn't too impressed with this dish and honestly...I guess I can't really blame her for it. In my last review I wrote that you can't really go wrong with any dish on this menu. I take that back now. I think this is probably the first dish we've tried here that was less than stellar. There was a lot of rice in the dish, and barely any seafood in the rice. The black bean sauce was...nothing to write home about? Other than the underwhelming Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice though, I still give this place a thumbs up and would still highly recommend coming here. Lots of restaurants have hit and miss dishes. This place still serves some great food overall.

I also tried the Tteokbokki, which is an unusual dish that is technically rice cakes, but I would compare it to a bowl with sliced-up hot dogs, gnocchi, and melted cheese in a slightly spicy and slightly sweet broth Service was friendly.

Kimbab was quite voluminous and I could only eat half of it. The cold noodles were no soup and had a lot of vegetables in the them. There are many other things I want to try, so I definitely want to come back here.
