Pork bones soup
Cynthia R.

I loved their pork bones soup. We ordered "good for 2" portion but it's actually enough for 3-4 people. Short ribs were tender and very tasty. My family and I will surely come back to try more in their menu.

Lunch special (spicy and non-spicy cold noodles and marinated boneless pork rib) - delicious and such generous portions!

I finally got around to trying this place and am so glad I did. I heard they had good lunch specials and that during the summer, they included naengmyeon and bibim naengmyeon (cold noodles and spicy cold noodles respectively) as one of the combo options. Since naengmyeon is usually only available in the summer, I was excited to try their lunch special, which is comprised of either the spicy or non-spicy version of the cold noodles and their marinated boneless pork rib. We got both the spicy and non-spicy cold noodles and the pork ribs. Both sets of noodles were delicious and the portions were so generous! I was expecting a much smaller portion because it was lunch, but as you can see from the picture, they did not skimp on the portions. Moreover, the pork ribs were delicious, tender, and flavorful. Our order also came with three sides of banchan (bean sprouts, cucumber kimchi, and kimchi), which was nice. All in all, we will definitely be back to try out more of their dishes. The staff were very nice and friendly as well.

Solid seafood place near Coquitlam Centre…read more Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The place looks nice and modern. Comfortable cushy chairs, and wooden trim. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

Came for AYCE hot pot at 8:15pm but learned that late night AYCE starts at 8:30pm onwards that is…read more20% so waited an extra 15 minutes for the deal. Pro tip: There is free underground parking at the restaurant. After 6pm, you can park at CIBC parking stalls underground. The Deluxe AYCE is only $3 more per person so with the 20% late night deal my boyfriend and I decided to try it out. What we found is much higher beef quality and lamb that rivals what higher tier hot pot spots like DolarShop provide. My boyfriend loves the snack bar and we discovered there are two separate snack bars in the restaurant that has different food - one has desserts, spring rolls, chicken wings, and deep fried buns. The other has cold appetizers, noodles, curry fish balls, and lamb shanks. The original house soup base is really tasty and the service here is quick and pretty friendly. The only downside is that the restaurant is not well vented so be prepared to smell like hot pot from head to toe. Regular deluxe AYCE is $34.99 per adult for dinner and end of the meal includes complimentary ice cream. They also have some unlimited drink refills that are pretty reasonable prices for around $3.99/person. Solid hot pot place and the great thing about this restaurant is they don't rush you out when your time limit is up.

Yikes! We came early evening (~4pm) and it wasn't very crowded. The food isn't terrible, the broth…read moreis actually pretty good. We got half spicy, half original. Spicy was traditional Chinese spicy (so pretty spicy) but both are flavorful. The lamb and beef meats were good. The inside was nice and clean. They had a small buffet style section where you could grab toppings and certain side items. I guess they only put certain items out at a time and don't refill it when they run out. We ordered the Chinese Donut, as we got the last 2 in the buffet style area, but the guy came back and said they are all out. So it seems like they don't make more after a certain point. Parking seems a bit bad. We are not familiar with the area and planned to go to the nearby mall afterwards, so we ended up paying for parking at the mall across the street. From the looks of it, they only really have street parking available. We paid in advanced for the happy hour price before happy hour ended. That all being said, the service was subpar. It was okay at first, but then we ordered more meat and fast forward 20 minutes, it still had not come out. It the took a minute to find a flag down a worker, but we asked once again. It felt like only had 1 (maybe 2) actual server on the floor. We waited like 5 more minutes before ultimately just leaving. I'm not sure what happened since they were pretty empty (customer wise), but it heavily ruined the experience. If you go, I hope your experience is better!:)
