    Nengmyeon
    Kate C.

    -edit May 2023- This time we tried the ramen nengmyeon. The ramen was so expensive for what it is. Other places have egg, fish cake etc in the ramen but this one didnt really have anything but the instant noodles. The nengmyeon was just ok. There are better ones out there for the same price

    Unadorned and humble in appearances, Kimbap Cheonguk is a family type of eatery. It seems to shrug off the need to be trendy and just focus on the food. Wholesome, tasty and feel good food, the kind a loving Korean parent/guardian would make. Food made with care and soul. Everything we ordered was tasty and filling. They were made with real ingredients without the aid of synthetic chemicals. Very good value proposition. Will definitely revisit.

    Bulgogi & tuna kimbap

    This is a hidden gem in Lougheed area. We've been going here for years and the food is consistently good. Our favorite is the kimbap. The taste hasn't been changed for at least 8 years! Still delicious! The combination of salty, creamy & hint of sweetness is just perfect! The filling & portion are generous considering how affordable the price is! - tuna kimbap: our favorite! The creamy mayo was perfect! - bulgogi kimbap: has a slight sweetness in the beef that makes it delicious! Sometimes when we dine in, they gave us the broth that was delicious and hearty. I could drink all the broth by myself!

    Love the kimbap here, I would say it's absolutely the best for value and taste in all of the lower mainland - haven't had better, but their other options are just alright. If you come here, I suggest just getting the kimbap!!

    The kimbap here is by far the best kimbap I've ever had they know what they are doing! Kimbap Cheonguk is located on North road in coquitlam. Their menu is easy two pages and they have photos of their menu items. I love getting their beef Kim bap! They roll it so nicely, it's a huge roll and the seasame oil they cost it with it's so good. It's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine especially when you eat in they provide this really good hot soup in the teapot that has garlic and in my opinion msg ( I really think it's the instant noodle seasoning perhaps some of that is added to make this 'soup') anyways it's a very flavourful broth and I can't get enough of it. They will refill it for you if you ask for more, same with their sides of pickled radish and kimchi. The soup is a really nice bonus because it warms you up and the food here is so good as well. I also love their stone pot rice pork, it is spicy pork just warning you and it is very hot and love how the rice crisp inside the super hot stone bowl. This is my comfort food and I would love eating here in the fall, during cold weather. This is my go to and I definitely recommend their kimbap!

    Humble little restaurant in the midst of Ktown with amazing classics and friendly service. My friend and I came for a late lunch after a hike on a weekend. We waited for about 40 minutes. Super simple and clean layout inside. As soon as we sat down, they dropped off a kettle, a bottle of water, some paper cups and cutlery. We thought the kettle was of hot tea but it was actually soup! Every place should serve complimentary bone broth in a kettle! It was delicious and so wonderful on a cold Spring day! We ordered Jang Te Kook Bab (spicy beef soup with rice), tuna kimbap, and beef bimbap. The portions are huge and we definitely had enough for a snack later.

    Beef gimbak. Seaweed is always crispy.

    Reliable high quality eats at reasonable price in inflationary times. After following other Elites' high praises for Kimbap Cheonguk, I quickly become a regular here because of the consistently fresh kimbap. Seaweed is always crisp, which contrast lovely with the thin rice and fillings within. Other than kimbap, this joint serves up popular soup noodles ranging from traditional Korean to the instant noodle varieties. Being a traditionalist, I prefer their Pork Stone Pot Rice that had the crisp browned rice at the bottom absorbing all the juicy oil from pork belly on top. Oh by the way, it's spicy! This places closes early so try to be there before 6:00pm to avoid lineups. Table turnover is pretty quick so the wait is usually within 15min. Servers mostly speak Korean only except the hostess who speaks English, Korean and some Mandarin. I always leave with a stuffed tummy and no I'll aftertaste from msg. For a hike in the wall type of joint, don't expect much service nor fancy washroom.

    This "snack" was big enough for a 2 person entree!
    Paul S.

    Total Korean comfort food at its best. So good! The "snack" we order was the Ddock-bok-ki and it was enough for a 2 person meal. Rice cakes were cooked to the perfect chew, fish cakes were not bland and hidden chewy glass noodles were a nice addition. Perfect spice level. Also ordered the Al Bob and Stone Pot Rice and Pork which was also quite tasty. Al Bob had generous amount of tobiko and Stone Pot had a lot of pork. The portions overall were well within the price! Will definitely go back to try other things like the Gam Jan Tang. 5/5 indeed.

    If you want good Korean food without the typical expensive Korean prices THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME. It's located in a little plaza with decent amount of seating inside. Get the bulgogi Kimbap it's my favourite, or you can order them to go! Watch out for the spicy food cause it was extremely spicy (way too spicy for me to continue eating.) the service was also good too. They give you broth instead of tea and water and it's my favourite part :)

    - Best kim bab in metro vancouver - get your soup which is really good - the kim bab are extremely amazing - I personally like the tuna kim bab and the crabmeat with cheese kim bab - Come back here for very often since it is very cheap too - Cheap and good of course - I recommend this place to your to go place if you are looking to eat korean food or kim bab Edit 2.0: Always back to kimbab chenguk for some comfort food. It is cheap and best kimbab in town for the quantity and the quality so it is very value. Make sure get with the chicken cheese tteokbokki because they both complement each other. Always ask for the soup because it is super good especially during the winter time. Cheers!

    A small eatery known for their kimbap selection. We stopped by here for some Korean food after seeing plenty of high praise reviews. In short, it met the expectations set by others. All the reviews are bang on. The kimbap is big and full of goodies. We tried the regular one with carrots, fish cakes, burdock, egg, and yellow radish. Other dishes we tried included the stone pot rice and pork, as well as the hoe naeng myeon which is a spicy cold noodle with beef, egg radish, and other goodies. Both were very good and nice portions that can easily be shared. I will definitely be back to try their other kimbap and dishes.

    It was Yelper C who told me about this place. I had it bookmarked and was listed as a must try restaurant. I haven't had Kimbap in ages. I came here with two other friends and we ordered the following to share: - Crab meat Kimbap - Regular Kimbap - Tuna Kimbap - Al Bob Oh my goodness! the Kimbap are huge. We ordered too much and was not able to finish. The Kimbap are all fresh made upon ordering. They were huge as well. Our meal came with 2 sides and soup. It was weird how they put the soup in a teapot. I originally thought that was tea. The Al Bob was tasty. I think we were suppose to mix it together before consuming. It came with two condiment sauce. One was spicy and the other wasn't. If you wait too long, it would be difficult to mix the Al Bob stuff together. Overall, that was super tasty. The meal was inexpensive and all in with 15% tip and tax, it came to $12 per person.

    I love their cold noodle dishes here! Their raw spicy skate fish one is a special one you won't find at a lot of places. Their kimbap is solid and portions are good. Our family are regulars!! Tip for leftover kimbap from the fridge, scramble an egg and dip the kimbap and pan fry till golden. It's the best!!!

    I was craving some soy sauce marinated raw crab and noticed this restaurant offered a ginseng…read morechicken soup set meal that included the raw crab. For $60, the meal included the chicken soup, spicy squid, raw crab, pork belly, stir fried glass noodles, mini assorted pancakes (veggie, fish and fish patty), and banchan. The chicken soup was good. The chicken was tender and meat easily pulled off the bone. There was rice inside the chicken. One crab was included and it was marinated in a spicy soy sauce. I wish the crab shell was included, but it was not. The crab meat was sweet and fresh. The spicy squid was mixed with radish and green onions. There was not much of the squid itself. The pancakes were alright. There were three different kinds. My child ate two of them and really liked it. The glass noodles were tasty. Banchan selection was good. Overall, I think the price was very good for the amount of food. It was just enough two adults. Service was efficient and friendly.

The side they had was a scoop of rice with sesame seeds on top and some chopped up cabbage salad with Korean regular dressing (ketchup + mayo lol). Just like a bad date, the chicken and pork, couldn't tell difference because it was drier than the Sahara desert and should've called it meat jerky and packaged i honestly wouldn't have felt ripped off. The 1 piece hamburger steak and the rice was the reason 2 stars cause the garlic taste and texture with pieces of garlic etc was delicious but the looks were ummm, look at my photo. Very suspectible. Maybe it'll be better to eat in person but as for now I'm too scared to even try and order the same combo and waste another twenty bucks and probably end up just trying the samgyetang.

The staff checks in on you and just basically gives you what you need, before you even ask for it. And I like how the place is set up, so cozy and provides just the right amount of privacy for groups. Even the washrooms are superb. Wait may be a bit long if you don't have a reservation (we made a reservation but came 30 minutes early and wanted to get in earlier), but they offer free snacks and drinks at the waiting area.

    Haidilao Hot Pot Brentwood - 海底捞火锅 - Burnaby…read more Located at 2nd Floor of Brentwood Mall near their food court. We tried Bite of Burnaby at Haidilao. This is my first time trying Haidilao, I was so impressed with the service. Food was fresh, we opted for unlimited meat, we had beef & lamb slices. There is an extra charge of the sauce bar, about $3 plus dollars. That includes dessert & their yummy congee as part of the sauce bar. There's even a show presentation on a popular Chinese mythology figure, The Monkey God. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. Service is prompt & good, our server Elvis was attentive & most helpful. Trying to reorder meat on their iPad was a bit challenging, there's too many options. We had Elvis helping us with the reordering. You are offered ice cream at the end of your meal too. Decor was cute, clean & inviting Fresh food, great service, paid parking in the mall parking.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!…read more Wow, just wow. I've been here a few times before and it has never been THIS bad. Today, we went in. The lady behind the counter could hardly understand me. While taking my order, another women came up and they started looking at an iPad about a SkipTheDishes order. I had to wait for them to finish to keep ordering. They where supposed to put guacamole on my 1 salad, and they charged me for it, plus a random 50 cent charge for banana peppers I never ordered. Like what ? Ok fine. I told them about the 50 cent charge and she just replied "yes". I'm like, why am I being charged for banana peppers I didn't order, again she just says "yes". Frustrated I say ok whatever. No point to argue over a few cents. Go outside, I see not only did they not even put in the banana peppers they charged me for; but, the guacamole I paid $3 for was not in the salad either. So now I've paid $3.50 for things I didn't receive . Pretty irritating ! Open my other salad and they forgot to put tomatoes on it. I go back to the store and ask them, hey, you guys charged me for this and forgot to put it on. She replies "yes, guac is extra" like, I know. I've paid for it but didn't get it. They argued with me for about 5 minutes before handing me a tiny container of guacamole. To top it all off, after arguing, paying nearly $30 for 2 salads, I finally get to eat, and there's a fly in my lettuce. Seriously, I don't understand what happened here today. I was charged for several things I didn't receive, then had to argue to get what I paid for, then I found a fly in my lettuce . I used to come here pretty often but that's going to change. I suggest everybody stay far away- go somewhere else. The chopped leaf down town or the one In Port Coquitlam are MUCH better. You actually get what you pay for without being argued with. Pretty disgusted with my experience here today.
