It is not too comfortable. Food was amazing. We had the yukhou (beef tartar), a whole fried tilapia fish which was a special, and the other special which was a spicy stew. Everything came out hot and bursting with flavour. I liked how the chef took the fish off the bones for us. Spicy stew was delicious and did have quite a bit of seafood in it. I also loved the taste and presentation of the beef tartar. We didn't have room for dessert but we did have a delicous wine. It was berry flavoured and surprisingly good. Love this place and can't wait until I can try something else on the menu.

Happened to stumble upon this amazing authentic Korean restaurant in Edmonton!…read more Apparently there's lots of ramen spots everywhere around the city It's a thing here ahaha so the craving was there ! The resto is in the middle of a strip mall they were closing early so we had no choice to order take out as I had to try it out! It had over 1000 reviews on the big G ... had to give it a try and I wasn't staying very far. I had their cheese buldak wooow 5********/5 Best dish I had ! The cheese and chicken mixture with rice cakes was out of this world ! A must try when you come here! The grilled pork belly 5/5!!! You can taste the grill and the tender pieces of pork I love the marinade just delicious! Beef Short ribs: 2/5 a little chewy lacked some flavour but still ok.. will skip next time . Pork Bone soup: 5++++/5 amazingggg delicious and filled with so much flavour absolutely loved it. Teriyaki Chicken with Udon noodles 5+++/ 5 amazing flavour delicious!! Service : 5/5 the guy taking our order took all his time to explain the different menu items and all the popular ones.. we mostly followed his recommendations!very patient and caring while take our order. Top Notch service ! Ambiance: very busy lots of people so you know this is THE SPOT! Overall, don't pass up and definitely try this place out a definite must !! Can't wait to come back here if I ever come back to Edmonton. Overall

It was quite busy but it was expected for a Sunday evening…read more The food was good as always but we found that service a bit off - we waited for one last chair which took 3 times of asking before it was provided.

Ambiance was same as usual. Clean and same with the washrooms

Found this restaurant on Google and had wanted to try it for a long time. I knew their popular…read moredishes were deep-fried oysters and katsu (deep-fried pork), so I tried both, plus a hot stone dish. The fried oysters are $15 for 7 pieces, which I think is quite pricey, and the oysters were too small. If you want to try them, go for it, but I didn't think they were worth it. The Rosu & Hire Katsu, a mix of pork sirloin and tenderloin cutlet, is $20. That's not bad; they were well-cooked, juicy, and crispy. I didn't try the cheese katsu, which I really wanted to, but maybe next time I'll order the mixed set for $26. The beef and egg hot stone dish is $18. It's pretty standard for a hot stone dish, but the stone was definitely hot and had a very Korean feel. I liked this one the most. It's not a busy restaurant, but I understand that deep-frying takes time, so the wait is understandable. The service was good, though there was only one waitress. She was very nice and had a good smile on her face. Overall, it's a quiet restaurant and not too busy atmosphere, so it's worth a try.

Trailing for that Gamjatang craving all fall and winter long baby! Only one area around the city to aimlessly drive around to choose which to satisfy all the cravings. This little strip of 34Ave is packed with hidden treasures of small mom-pop Korean eateries, you won't have to wander far before you stumble onto a storefront that catches your eye. Opened a couple months back, Miga had a surge of popularity with attention spurring over their hot plates that made up of cheese and rice cakes. Not a fan of either, my interest to try out Miga wasn't peaked until I saw their full menu floating around online, extensive list! Soft Clear Noodles with Beef and Vegetables - Japchae - ($18) - Lacked flavoring, I'm use to the subtle sesame oil taste in most of the Japchaes' that I order which this lacked. So for me this one was pretty bland. Noodles were nice and soft, impressed with how long the noodles were too. Pork Neck Bone Soup - Gamja-Tang - ($15) - Pretty solid bowl! Had three very generous sized bones with ridiculously tendered meat. Didn't need any spoon action, meat flaked off with just a scrape from the chopsticks. Which guarantees that the soup had plenty of flavor. Had a sharp kick of spice which balanced really well with the savory meat bites. But like the first dish, was missing some of flavor, perilla seeds and pepper topped on top usually adds that additional subtle kick that blends well with the spice, which wasn't provided in this. Also worth noting that with how flavorful the soup was, the potatoes were really bland. Korean Style Barbecue Short Ribs - Galbi - ($28) - Gorgeous coloring with a strong savory marinade that resulted in an amazing caramelized crust on the edges of each rib. Worth getting your hands dirty, and no judgement if you start gnawing on that bone- Which you definitely should. BANCHANS! We had five, cubed radish kimchi - seasoned bean sprouts - fish cake - pickled cabbage - potato salad - THE POTATO SALAD WAS BOMBS GUYS. They mixed bits of potatoes with macaroni and raisins and omg... I should have asked for more. Overall really satisfied with dinner at Miga! The shop is cozy and clean with plenty of seating. Service was extremely friendly and relaxed. Portions are also huge, and prices were fair. I'd come back and recommend! It's also right beside Pocha Seoul .. talk about competition?!

I recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Korean street food.

It's definitely a cozy spot better equipped to serve smaller groups than larger parties. The menu is pretty straightforward with just enough variety so that everyone would probably find something they'd be interested in. I ordered a Bulgogi (stir-fried marinated beef) that came with rice and some banchan, then I also got a separate appetizer of Mandu (fried chicken dumplings). All the food was as expected and I can't really complain about anything. The bulgogi was cooked to perfection, the mandu was crispy and soft as a fried dumpling should be. The portions are large and is just the right amount for a meal if you eat like me, or a meal and some leftovers if you eat less. I wasn't in a rush and enjoyed my meal, they checked how I was doing a few times but never felt pushy. Super friendly and very prompt service. I'd try some other things next time I went. Go with a small group of 4 and try a few different dishes that you can share is my advice.

The pork in the soup is one of the best I've had from all the Gam Ja Tangs in Edmonton - nice cuts, good flavour, and perfect cookedness. The vegetables have been really fresh and cooked well. One thing to note is that the soup isn't very spicy. Overall, I'd give them 8.8/10

The staff were friendly and attentive. A Manager even came by to greet me and check up on me just as I received my food. Overall was a very pleasant experience and I look forward to trying other menu items including their Dim Sum.

Friday night date-night turned out spectacular after choosing to dine at JUU KU!!…read more This place was unexpectedly impressive. It had a moody vibe with red ambient lighting and an upscale edgy sushi bar with really unique, oversized art all around. Prices were fair ranging between $12 - $35 per dish depending on what you order. Service was impeccable. Our hostess, server, and all of the staff in general were warm and friendly. Our server was able to articulate the specials and entice us to try the mango salmon roll which was smoky, creamy and tropical. Sushi tasted fresh as we also ordered the salmon sashimi. Watching the sushi chefs interact with each other and have fun while preparing such meticulous meals was entertaining and mouthwatering. My absolute favourite dish was the Rock Shrimp Tempura in a creamy spicy garlic chili sauce. These were perfectly cooked and the prawns were huge and juicy...came with a hearty salad underneath them too. The dim sum deserves a shout-out as well. We ordered the Truffle Lamb and Prawn Shumai Dumplings and it was the freshest dim sum I've ever had in Canada. Reminded me of when I was in Singapore. We will definitely return!!

Went here with friends Saturday evening and really enjoyed it! It's a small restaurant but parking…read morewas easy enough to get. We got there just after 6 PM and found a table immediately. We got 3 dishes and shared between all 3 of us. The Soontofu was great! The tofu and egg is made all the more delicious by the stew itself. The menu marked it as spicy but it was very mild compared to what I expected. The Pork Backbone Stew was just mouthwatering. The deep salty flavour you can only get from boiling real meat and bone really shines on this dish. It has chunks of potatoes that crumble easily once you take a bite into them. It was also marked as spicy so I asked our server if it's possible to make it milder since we already had the Soontofu, but they mentioned that it's already premade (10 hours of cooking time. Bless their hardworking staff), and that its less spicy that what I was probably imagining. When we got it, it actually was even less spicy than the Soontofu - so much that I don't recall it registering as spicy whatsoever! We also got half an order of honey garlic fried chicken. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and the sweet sauce they made hit just the right spot for me. The chicken pieces were also delightfully crisp! Tables and chairs were neat and not sticky. Our server was attentive and friendly. Wish there was a little bit more rice that came with the stews, but it's still pretty good for what you get, especially if you share dishes.

That and all my go to Korean places were closed Monday. L and I got there just before the rush and were able to snag a table. I don't know what Wing Chicx's deal is but either their layout is terrible or they need to train their staff better because we were asked to move once we had settled down along with another couple to make room for a larger group. Wouldn't have been an issue but the rest of service was terrible. It's a rarity that I complain about service but woooooooow, dreadful would be putting it nicely. There were two waitresses working the front but they were running around like headless chickens. Or maybe they were hiding in the back, I have no idea. Sure, it was busy but it wasn't packed. I have no idea why/how it was so hard to take our order, re-fill our waters (that didn't happen), and to process our payment (had to ask multiple times for the bill). - Banchan - pretty standard stuff. They brought out kim chi, bean sprouts, braised potato and pickled daikon. The potato was the tastiest of the four side dishes. Good luck getting any refills. - Jap chae (#32) ($11.99) - pan stir fried sweet potato noodle with beef and assorted vegetables in their special soy sauce. My bud's never had jap chae before and I've never had Wing Chicx's take on this Korean staple so we ordered it. It was pretty average. I'm not a fan of the cabbage that they throw into the mix. Can't help but compare how much better Korean Grill's version was. - Original bulgogi beef (1D) ($16.00) - bulgogi beef with mixed vegetables marinated in Wing Chicx bulgogi soy sauce. Again, I wasn't very impressed. It was almost identical to their jap chae dish except that there was more beef and an unnecessary, excessive amount of cabbage. And seriously, what's with using the exact same vegetables? I know times are tough with increased food prices but yikes. At $16.00, our most expensive dish, I wouldn't order it again. - Chicken drumsticks ($10.99) - they were out of full chickens (we wanted to get half a chicken for $15.00) so we settled with their 6 piece drumstick option. These came out PIPING hot. You've been warned. The skin is hot, crispy and evenly battered while the inside is tender and juicy. Pretty good but you need to get a side of the sweet sauce to jazz up the flavours. We asked for extra sauce but that never came. Easily the best dish of the night and price is on point. I prefer their half chicken option as you get a variety of cuts and it just soaks up the sauce better. - Seafood pan fried pizza (8-S) ($12.99) - assorted seafood and mixed vegetables battered together and pan fried. It came without the vinegar soy sauce that usually accompanies seafood pancakes, which they didn't bring out until we were two thirds done. Of course, we weren't able to flag them down to tell them this so we gave up and ate it without. Sadly, It NEEDED sauce to save it. The pancake itself was mediocre. Lacked any crispy texture (read: kind of mushy) and the amount of seafood inside was laughable. Pretty disappointing. This was one of those times where bad service really can affect your food experience. Food was above average but it's no longer on my list when I'm thinking of going out for Korean food. Too many choices these days to have to settle for mediocrity. If you go, make sure you order the dishes they're known for doing well and you should be okay.
