I've passed by this place many times but never went in because there's usually a long line. We're also typically in the area looking for a quick, cheap meal from the food court, and this spot definitely isn't food court pricing. But on a Saturday ~12pm, there isn't a line outside the door so we finally gave it a try and we were glad we did. We ordered the double decker noodles, garlic chicken noodles and galbi. The galbi were fall off the bones tender and packed with flavor. Double decker noodle was HUGE, and boldly flavored, and have a kick but not too spicy. The garlic chicken noodle was flavorful, creamy, and comforting. The only down side is the restuarant is a bit tight, you feel very close to the next table. But the food makes up for it. read more

My benchmark for Korean food is LA Koreatown. Nothing in in the lower mainland really compares. But Im pleased to say this place gets close. A lot of hype about this place when it first opened so I waited until now to visit to avoid long lines. I came on a Saturday for late lunch, around 2pm. Plenty of space, walked right in. We got the Galbi combo for 3. Includes 3 noodles of your choice, plus a kimchi pancake, plus an order of LA Galbi. Kimchi pancake - this was the weakest dish. Served with some iceberg lettuce on top with mayo. And the onion soy sauce dip. Pancake was soggy, not crispy at all even though it was hot. Not spicy at all either. I would not recommend this dish. 2/5. Waste of money. LA Galbi - slightly thicker cut and seemed to be very lean compared to LA galbi im used to. So it wasnt quite as tender and juicy but still pretty good. Well seasoned. 3.5/5. Too expensive. Double decker soup - this is basically pork bone soup with noodles. I asked for extra spicy. It was maybe medium spicy, so it looks like they toned it down for a Western palate. However, broth was well seasoned and VERY generous with the pork bone. Massive really, and when you add the noodles and broth, its a ridiculous amount of food esp for lunch. Noodles are fresh and chewy. Honestly no complaints about this dish. 5/5. Would recommend. This bowl alone is $22. Very reasonable. beef and mushroom noodle soup - spicy broth and generous with the mushrooms and beef. Same noodles as above. 4/5. Also huge portion. (our third noodle was another double decker). None of us 3 could finish our noodle bowl, or the galbi/pancake either. Come hungry. There is tap water on the table and takeout containers I believe were 25c if you needed one. Space was small but clean, not too cramped. Free parking at Crystal Mall. One shared bathroom in front. Clean enough. Service was good. They take credit card. They also had raw marinated crab on the menu. I'll try that next. If you want Korean noodles, this is an easy recommend. Just avoid the pancake and galbi - not good/overpriced. read more

Three different noodle dishes were ordered. Above average over all with elevated prices to match. Service was excellent. Decore was nice. One small bathroom only. They could give larger side dishes/bowls for sharing. This is quite irritating I must say. The location is not ideal. If this restaurant was in a better location with larger bathrooms and gave larger side bowels I would go back more than once to try every one of their tasty noodle dishes read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, but it was always so busy. Finally wearable to We went on a Sunday evening around 6:30pm. The wait time was around 20minutes, which wasn't so bad. After we sat down we checked out the menu. Not a lot of items, which is to be expected. The stable food here is the hand made noodles, so we ordered a couple of them to share, along with some side dishes. The kimchi chewy pancake is made out of kimchi, egg and spicy mayo. It was crunchy and tasty, and not spicy at all. The double decker is essentially pork bone soup, adding the noodle. The chicky chicky noodles used chicken broth which is why it was so tasty. When it comes to galbi, the Korea short rib, which was nicely grilled, tender and fresh. Everything else became secondary. I was especially pleased with their noodles. They were hand made, chewy in a good way. It was hard to stop eating once it's started. I think that's the highlight of the whole meal. The restaurant was a bit loud, however, the turn over was very quick, which made up for it. If you are in the area, feel free to check out this place. read more

Have been waiting to try this place after hearing the reviews, hype, and long line up. Had a girls night dinner and I suggested coming here. We arrived around 6:20pm and asked for a table for 4. There are no reservations but we were the first in line, with a line up quickly forming behind us. We waited for around 10 minutes and got seated. The tables are quite squished together and the chairs is multifunctional with big storage space underneath though are hard to move as they are heavy. We ordered the Galbi combo for 3 that includes galbi, kimchi chewy (Korean kimchi pancake), and choice of 3 noodles. We picked the Chicky Chicky ginseng, Double Decker, and Moosroom. We were provided with sharing bowls, plates, and extra tongs to share all the foods and given two separate sets of sauces, kimchi, and pickled radish to share. It was a bit strange to have paper cups, that become a bit flimsy but they didn't leak during our meal. Food came pretty quickly with the kimchi chewy (kimchi pancake) arriving first, galbi, and then the noodles. The kimchi pancake has decent flavour but was pretty mushy with no crispness to it, which was a bit disappointing. It wasn't really chewy either so out if all the items we tried, this one definitely has the most room for improvement. However, the galbi was AMAZING, meaty, tender, and beautifully flavored. This was definitely the highlight of the meal and we agreed we could all eat more. The Chicky Chicky ginseng noodle came first and it was really nice! The handmade noodles had a nice bouncy texture and chew to them and the broth was comforting and tasty. There were tons of chicken pieces that were tender and juicy - this was my favourite noodle dish. Next, the Mooshroom noodles. Again, great noodles and there were tons of mushrooms and had some spicy kick to the broth. We found the broth between the Mooshroom and Double Decker to taste similar except the Double Decker was slightly more spicy. Double Decker had a generous tender pork pieces (two) falling off the bones and noodles were great but like stated, broth tasted pretty similar to the Moosroom one. Overall, solid meal but they don't take cash, reservations, or takeout orders. Be prepared to wait for a table but service is pretty quick. For $110 for four people, we left full, satisfied, and with leftovers. read more

We usually see a line here so we've been wanting to try it for a while. Service was kind and quick, but it takes some time to get their attention because there's only 2 of them. The restaurant was nice, clean, and well organized. Tables sit 2 and 4, so if you have a bigger party you might be split up. We got the combo galbi for 2. 4/5 The galbi was sweet and delicious. Wish it would've came out a bit hotter, but the flavour was great and they crushed some fresh sesame for us at the table. 5/5 Double decker pork bone broth. Had lots of meat on the pork bones and came with a nice sauce. There was some heat in the soup but in a delicious way. Lots of noodles. 5/5 chicky chicky ginseng. Lots of garlic flavor. Lots of noodles and the soup comes piping hot. Restaurant started to fill up around 1230pm on a Sunday, luckily we got there earlier. Would definitely come back. read more

This hyped Korean Noodle House delivers a colourful experience with a focus on "value" over variety. I tried the beef ribs and pork noodle, and both were adequate --, satisfactory , and leaning toward the spicier side, which added a nice kick without being overwhelming. The menu isn't very extensive, but that seems intentional, keeping the focus on doing a smaller selection well. Service was friendly and efficient, and the wait time wasn't long, which made the visit smooth overall. The seating is a bit tight, so it may feel slightly crowded during busy hours. One thing to note is that they don't offer sharing bowls or plates, which, combined with market pricing, makes it less ideal for sharing dishes among a group. That said, there were a few downsides that took away from the experience. My dining companion felt there was a heavy amount of MSG in the food and didn't feel well afterward. I personally didn't have the noodle soup, so I didn't experience the same level of discomfort, but it's something worth noting. Seating is hard and uncomfortable, and aside being crammed together elbow to elbow with neighbouring tables. Definitely breathes a sign of ultra minimalist working class vibes. Overall, while the food and service were good, these issues added some doubt and took away from what could have been a more positive experience. read more

Went to Korea Noodle House for a late lunch and didn't have to wait too long on a Friday. There was only two parties ahead of us, and we got a table within 10 minutes. The portions here are massive, and they are very generous with the protein. The Double Decker Pork Bone Broth Noodle was probably the table favourite, but there was so much meat that none of us could finish our bowls. Most other tables ended up asking for takeaway containers as well. Service is quick and efficient. This is the type of place where you're in and out within 45 minutes. Overall, I get the hype and I think it's a great bang for your buck. Honestly speaking, you could probably save half of the bowl for the next day's lunch! read more

Korea Noodle House - Noodles Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

A small korean noodles house at the courtyard of crystal mall. We were lucky we didnt have to wait too long. Service was great but the tables are very close and packed. So a little crowded while eating We ordered the double decker noodles and the fire baby octopus noodles. We also ordered one of the noodles to be a combo with kimchi pancakes Both noodles were delicious and the portions were generous as well. There were 2 big pork bones and a lot of baby octopus with the noodles. the flavor of the sauce were great but i am unsure if they toned down the spiciness because both noodles were not as spicy as other korean noodles.But i love the chewiness of the noodles. I wish they could allow customers to choose the spicy level. The kimchi pancakes were flavorful tooand chewy. The menu isnt big but they have a number of popular items. I would love to visit again for their raw crabs side dish read more

Finally got to check out Korean Noodle House, a contemporary take on traditional kalguksu or knife cut noodles. When we arrived at 4:25, there was already a line beginning to form. The restaurant is quite small and the tables are placed close together to allow room in the middle for servers to walk around. Luckily, we were sat in the first seating. The wooden chairs were a bit uncomfortable, but it was nice that there was a hidden cubby underneath for people to put coats and bags. We ordered the top 2 most popular dishes and the kimchi pancake. The menu is quite simple with limited options, which works well for my decision paralysis. Everything arrived quite quickly. We were served side dishes as well - the fresh kimchi was spicy and crunchy! We started with the kimchi pancake. It was chewy with a hint of spice. I really liked the sauce that came with it - it was sweet and sour and loaded with garlic and chives. When the double decker arrived, I instantly knew why it was called the double decker. 2 large pieces of pork bone stacked on top of each other and ready to be devoured. I opted for the chicken ginseng soup, which looked a lot more ordinary. However, the soup was hearty and packed with flavour. The chicken was a bit dry, but after soaking in the soup for a while, it started tasting better. Value is quite good as each bowl of soup is around $20-$22 but is guaranteed to make you full. I couldn't finish my soup and had to bring it to go. However, I would only come if I didn't have to line up. read more

Arrived at around 6pm on a Saturday night- we had a party of 5 so I had my partner go and line up first, and good thing I did because a lot of people lined up after us! We had to wait for 15 mins or so to have more consecutive seats, but once seated we were able to order food very quickly. We got the $105 galbi set for 3, which comes with 6 pieces of galbi, a kimchi pancake, and 3 noodles of your choice (we got the double decker, the garlic chicken, and the perilla leaf one). Food came out really fast and came with complimentary fresh kimchi and yuzu-flavoured radish. Noodles were perfectly chewy and were bursting full of flavour, and meats were soft and cooked to perfection. Kimchi pancake was also nice and chewy. Inside is really small but reminds me of restaurants in Korea. Would come again if I dont have to wait! read more

Have been waiting for the hype to die down and finally managed to give this spot a visit! Pricing was on the higher side for Korean noodles in the area ($19-22) but was definitely quality! Highly recommend getting the combo sets to try more dishes! We ordered the 3 person combo and it left the 5 of us super full! We got the double decker (came with so much meat), Chicky Chicky garlic (comforting broth), shroomy creamy (unique notes from the perilla base), galbi (super tender) and kimchi pancake! All the food was really tasty and would come again to try their soy marinated seafood! read more

Famous for their noodles! I enjoyed the beef galbi as well. The kimchi pancake was a bit underwhelming but not as spicy as i thought. This place only seats people after everyone arrives, no reso, do not accept cash, but the biggest shocker was they don't have bowls so you cannot share the soup broth, only had a little dish to use. Find it strange since noodle portion was pretty generous. Will be back though as I still enjoyed the food. read more

Waiting time: 3.5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 ‍Service: 4/5 Taste: 3/5 Pricing: 3/5 Overall: Came here with a friend with no expectations. We're big fans of Kang's Kitchen in Coquitlam but had heard mixed reviews about this spot. Luckily, the line wasn't long and we got seated right when they opened. The tables are pretty tight, and they don't provide sharing bowls, so we made do with the small plates they gave us. The broths were okay - a bit bland and nothing too special. We were most excited for the noodles, but they were unfortunately overcooked. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience considering the hype. I wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes for a table here. read more

Came here on a Friday evening and it was really busy. We waited in line outside for about 15-20 mins. This restaurant was alright. Nothing too memorable. The table got their 3 noodle share plate combo. I think the kimchi pajeon and yuzu pickled daikon side dishes were more memorable than the soup noodle. The table got 2 chicken soups and one spicy rib soup noodle. The service was good but you could tell the staff were a bit overloaded. read more

Kalguksu (Korean hand pulled noodles) is one of my favorite Korean dishes, so when I heard that a celebrity Korean chef had opened a Kalguksu restaurant here, I had to try it out. I tried to get a seat right at opening during the beginning of their soft launch for dinner but the tables were all sold out. Now a month later, they've got rid of their ticketing system and it's first come first served. We arrived at 5:30pm and waited in line for about an hour on a Friday. The interior is very small and the spacing is very tight. We ordered the combo that includes two noodle bowls and a plate of galbi. We chose the gamjatang (pork-bone soup) and ginseng chicken noodles. The broth for the gamjatang was Korean level spicy, which is equivalent to a medium-hot spice level here. The flavor for the chicken soup was very light and tasty. We also ordered the potato pancake with fire grilled cheese on top which was really delicious and crispy. The galbi was also thick and had good flavor as well. The only thing that bothered me a little bit was that the noodles were pretty soft and felt pretty soggy compared to other kalguksu places I've been to which had chewy and bouncier noodles. Not sure if it's customizable for next time but I'll be sure to try it again sometime! read more

There was a lineup on a Monday night, but thank goodness we only had to wait for 15 minutes or so. Their menu is pretty small, price is fair. My husband ordered the ginseng chicken noodle (one of the few non-spicy noodle dish) and I ordered the double decker, and add galbi to make a combo. Galbi tasted well marinated, my double decker noodle is huge. Lots of pork meat & bone, and had to ask my husband to finish some for me. The chicken noodle tastes great, my hubs liked it. I just wish the noodle in my double decker is a tad chewier. Tables are super close together, so you don't sit very comfortably, but I do appreciate they have a cubby hole underneath chair for you to put jacket and bag. I'd come back for the food again, if lineup remains short. read more

Korea Noodle House is very popular and always has a long line up! My spouse and I were able to get a table without lining up by having an early dinner at 5pm. The tables are very small but clean and neat. The chairs are specially designed to have a storage space. We tried their Galbi Combo for two ($74), which came with 6 pieces of Galbi (beef short rib) and 2 bowls of noodles of our choice. We picked Double Decker (pork bone broth noodles) with less spicy and Chicky Chicky Ginseng (Ginseng chicken noodles). The short rib and the pork bone were very tender. The meat fell off the bone easily. The ginseng chicken is soothingly delicious. The portion is pretty good for the price. The complimentary kimchi and pickled radish tasted different from what we usually have in other restaurants. The kimchi is very crunchy and the pickled radish has yuzu flavor. Service is great. The food came pretty quickly and the servers were friendly. Now I understand why there is always a line outside! read more

So much food! The double-decker comes with so much meat, definitely worth a price. The noodles are good, and the broth is not very rich, it is very clean and mild. It does come with a mustard dipping sauce for the meat. Highly recommend making it a combo and adding the kimchi jeon. The jeon is made with some sort of tapioca flour, which makes it a little more chewy but the crisp is there. The service was pretty quick for helpful and busy it is. Highly recommend getting there AT LEAST 30 minutes before they open in order to get seating. There's only like seven tables. Very cute cozy spot. Located in Crystal Mall, and parking was free in the garage. It is located in the inner circle near the fountain if you have a hard time finding it! read more

Heard there was a new Korean noodle house in Burnaby a while back and been wanting to try it for a while. In hopes that the line up died down I made an attempt to try then out for a later Saturday lunch. Upon arriving I was wrong, the line up was surprisingly still going stong after a few months of opening! I arrived around 1:15 pm and waited for about 20-30 mins with about 6-7 groups before me.The restaurant takes people in up to the last closing hour. The restaurant is relatively small with tight fit tables. I would not recommend for larger groups. We just had two people for our table and we sate closely right beside next to a table of two as well. For food we ordered the combo 2 that includes 2 noodles of your choice and galbi. For the bodies we ordered the Double Decker (pork bone broth noodles) and the Very Shroomy Creamy (creamy perilla and mushroom soup. The Double Decker had a very generous portion of pork bone in the noodle and flavor was bold kimchi flavors with a good kick. The Very Shroomy Creamy was an interesting take on noodle soup. It wasn't something I had before where it included some fun chewy pieces of dough in the noodle too. I did find broth of the Very Shroomy Creamy very thick though maybe a bit too thick for a noodle soup and coup have had a bit more flavor to it. The noodles wasn't any thing extra special and I would have thought it could or a bit better -could be more bouncer like other Korean restaurants I have tried. The Galbi was great -tender with good flavour and think that was my favorite dish out of them all. The rest also offers two sides along with your meal - yellow pickled radish and kimchi cabbage. Over a niceoption to try but probably won't be revisiting. read more

I visited a month after they soft opened and it was a wild ride. I knew there would be a line so we went right when they opened at 11:30am and got a waitlist number. There were very limited waitlist numbers they are giving out as they only have 10 tables. I waited for 2 hours to be seated Numbers are given out first come first served once they're all distributed they're done. Time they started to give out numbers lunch - 11:15am dinner - 4:15pm Chicky Chicky Ginseng Lowkey thought it would be bland but it's not. It's super hearty and packed with chicken, also love how they handmade their own noodles which are very chewy and thick. Double Decker The portion of pork is insane, there are two whole racks of pork on top and it's a good level of spice that i'm not dying on it. It would be good to have it on a cold rainy day. Verdict: The portion and seasoning is perfect but I would not wait for another two hours for that. I'll go when the hype dies down. Also I heard they changed the waitlist system so you'd have to physically wait in line instead of getting a number so you can't even walk around while you wait. read more

Korea Noodle House - Kalguksoo - Noodles Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

They're having a soft launch and had to try this noodle restaurant after seeing it on instagram. Noting the popularity, we showed up early and were given a number to come back an hour later. When we finally entered the 40+ seat restaurant, the place was buzzing with activity. The menu wasn't big but it had what we came for. We chose the Combo for 2 which came with 2 noodles and Calbi ribs. Since their signature noodle is the Double Decker (spicy pork bone noodle) ... we had to get that. The noodles and ribs were delicious. It's been a few days since we were there and I can't wait to return. read more

This place really hits the spot when you are craving comforting Korean food. I tried both the spicy beef soup and the clear chicken noodle soup, and they were completely different but equally satisfying. The spicy soup had a deep, rich flavor with tender meat and napa cabbage that soaked up all the broth, while the clear soup felt clean, soothing, and perfect for a cozy meal. Portions are generous, banchan is solid, and everything tastes homemade rather than rushed. Simple atmosphere, but the food is honest and comforting.
