I came across Gangnam Korea on Main Street, and what stood out to me most wasn't just the food, but the gentleman at the front. From the moment I walked in, he was kind, attentive, and easy to talk to. When I mentioned I was vegan, he immediately offered helpful suggestions and made me feel comfortable asking questions. I ordered the vegan dumplings with rice, and they were genuinely delicious. What really left an impression was the care he took when I asked about yeast-free options for Passover. He went out of his way to check with the kitchen to make sure my order was yeast-free and even showed me a list he had created of food allergens. After I explained the significance of yeast during Passover, he said he would add it to his list, which meant a lot. The restaurant itself was also very clean, from the dining area to the bathroom, but it was his level of thoughtfulness and attention that made the experience stand out. I even placed a second takeout order to bring back to my hotel later that evening. Between the food, the service, and especially the care he showed, it was a great experience--and I would absolutely return next time I'm in town.

The portion was decent and definitely worth trying if you're craving Korean fried chicken in North Bay. My only downside was the service--it was quite slow during my visit.

Disgruntled customers everywhere. People waiting to be served, fed, seated, and for their bills. It's not like there was a line up out the door. Just really bad service staff. It took almost 3 hours for simple meals, beer and wine. It was laughable. Won't be back. Why? Just to be annoyed? People go out to eat to be served and eat good food. There are certainly better choices, in Haliburton!

The mash, generous veggies and sweet-spicy sauce were perfect complements. - Brisket: Beautifully smoky.

Great outdoor patio overlooking the lake. Prices are on the higher end but reasonable for what you get. Service is topnotch. Overall, a great spot to visit for an elevated casual meal.

It's our first time here at Tian Ya BBQ which is a decent Korean-style AYCE BBQ restaurant in Barrie. We usually go to ones in Markham and/or North York. Their fried spring rolls and scallops (4/5) were delicious with a good crisp on the outside, giving you a crunch with every bite. The spring rolls could use some more filling. The Volcano Roll was enjoyable (3.5/5). We liked how they had fried batter on the outside to elevate the texture of the dish. The cream cheese was a delight. The portions were big. The actual Korean-style BBQ was okay (3/5). The kimchi was a bit salty for us. We were hoping it would have more of the tangy, fermented taste to it as well. We liked that it was crunchy and tasted fresh. Their lettuce was also fresh. They did use iceberg lettuce instead of romaine which was different from what we regularly have at other places. We had pork, beef, beef short ribs and squid for grilling. Both the pork and beef were thinly sliced and tender. The beef short ribs were marinated well. Maybe a bit more sesame oil, garlic and ginger to the marinade mixture would really help bring out the sweetness and the umami of the meat. The cuts were okay; the meats could have been balanced with some fat/marbling to keep them juicy. We were also looking to have some ssamjang (fermented soybean paste) and sesame oil with salt to go with the meat. Overall, an okay place to go for AYCE Korean BBQ in Barrie.

Added $7.99 for a 1pc premium Haddock fish and a $5.99 poutine to the meal. Our order took 10 minutes to prepare. Service was friendly. The fried chicken was tasty and flavourful. Great coleslaw, fries and gravy. Didn't know why the poutine was so salty but it was better once we mixed in the gravy included with the Mega Bucket. The haddock was delicious but not worth the $7.99 price tag for what was the size of a Mars candy bar. All in all, the meal satisfied 4 empty stomachs.
