    a bowl of food with chopsticks
    Aiyie L.

    The menu of Korean food here may have you scratching your head as to what to order, but all you need to remember is get the bibimbap, bulgogi and pot stew and you'll be sorted. Of course, those who venture out may be pleasantly surprised by its various Korean dishes too. Placed in China Town, it's a great spot for those working in the areas that have a hankering for Korean barbecue plates, from short ribs to chicken thigh. I like the bibimbap the crunchiness of the rice in hot stone bowl is the best! I just don't like that the fried chicken is a little bit sweet and the seafood pancake is not flavorful. I like the ambiance so relaxing and the brown rice tea is amazing. Customer service is good.

    Clay pot Bulgogi
    Paula K.

    Incredibly classy place in the heart of Chinatown. The restaurant is bright, spacious and clean, and the service is excellent. The tables have heating pads on them, in case you order any of the shareable hot pot kinds of meals. I went for the clay pot Bulgogi, which had lots of beef and glass noodles, and was in a broth that was rich and had flavour points that reminded me of plum sauce. Meals are served with four sides: potato noodles, seaweed, kimchi, and bean sprouts. The menu is very details (indicating spicy, gluten-free, and such) and prices are on the higher side, but reasonable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    Starters!

    We hadn't been to Lee House in a while... not since they were in their old location south of Whyte Ave. We were cutting across the city last night from the Richie area back to St. Albert and decided to drive down the 97th Chinatown area hoping something would jump out at us for dinner. Lee House, did and we are glad it worked out that way. The Korean Fried Chicken here is incredible. Last night we tried the garlic soy for the first time. Personally I prefer the original (spicy) but the garlic soy was damn tasty too. We also tried the kimchi fried rice and the Spicy Bulgogi last night, paired with Buck Wheat tea. Everything was great, including the service. Quiet on a Sunday evening and just what we wanted. The new 97 Street location is nice and much bigger than the old location. Another great dining option in Edmonton's awesome Chinatown area.

    Use the stove top as a tray :(

    My friend and I made a point of going to eat in China town for the first time. So after driving 2-3 times up and down 97 st, trying to see through the darkness and September snow, we decided it would be Lee house. It was pretty full when we got in. They were two big groups but that didn't stop the staff to promptly give ya our seat. We had good and friendly service throughout the night. The place was clean and had a gas operated stove top on the table. Previously, you would cook your own meat there but due to lack of ventilation it's only for hot pot now. We ordered the hot stone wild mushroom Bibimpap, Bibimpap and a Bulgogi. They were all very tasty. And of course it came with refillable side! My experience was great and I am certain I'll go back there.

    Half order fried chicken

    What a delightful surprise in the heart of Chinatown and in what I have to say is a sketchy outward appearance. Delicious Korean cuisine served by a lovely server. Loved the bulgogi noodles and bibimbap. The fried chicken, although hot, crispy, and moist, lacked flavour so if we were to order again, would choose one that came with a sauce. Loved the little side dishes that came with the meal, typical of Korean meals. The space is clean, bright and welcoming. I look forward to our return!

    Bbq short ribs and beef soup

    Feel ripped off. Ordered delivery from skip and paid $32 for 2 1/2 slivers of bbq short ribs. I see the pictures from others and that portion is way bigger dining in so why isn't delivery the same?!? Trying to support local restaurants in this pandemic only to be sent sub standard food. Beef soup was also very lacking in flavour and beef but was a bowl of bean sprouts in broth essentially. Called restaurant but was brushed off telling me that's how they rip people off and that's it deal with it. $80 for nothing pretty much. Never again!!

    Banchan
    Shekinah A.

    Edmonton has a real lack of KBBQ spots compared to Calgary, which is a real disappointment since I've never been to an authentic KBBQ place. Midnight late searching lead me to find Lee house, so I begged the boyfriend to go! The one thing that drew me in was that they had table top grilling, the one thing I wanted to try again. So when we got to lee house, imagine my disappointment when the server told us there was a fire ban so they'd have to cook it in the kitchen :( We ordered the LA Kalbi from a lot of raves I saw on yelp, the famous friend chicken half portion, and the bulgolgi. There was a lot of banchan (side dishes) that came with the food, but we only really stuck to the rice. My favourite was tied between the fried chicken and bulgolgi. The fried chicken was something I was weary about ordering since whenever I order saucy chicken from Korean or Chinese restaurants, it usually disappoints me. But this was definitely one of the best fried chicken's I've ever had! The sauce was delicious, spicy and not over bearing but didn't leave your tongue burning at the end. A bit pricy, 18$ for a half order but it was worth it. The bulgolgi, I was also pretty weary about since I've never tried it and the meat itself looked very bland, but I was SO wrong. Even though it had a lack lustre appearance, it was definitely full of flavour. The only bad thing about the dish was that there was definitely more vegetables (cabbage) than actual bulgolgi. Now for the LA kalbi.... it was definitely not worth the $25 dollars. It's 4 slices of beef, and you'd think for something that pricy you want more quantity and quality, but it wasn't the case. I'd honestly tasted better kalbi at Koryo in the malls. Don't order it if you have high expectations for it. Over all, I paid around $80 including the tip for the meal. I think I should've spent my money else where as I don't think the 3 dishes were really worth it. The fried chicken and bulgolgi were definitely dishes I'd come back for, but I'd skip the Kalbi.

    Spicy Bulgogi with side dishes!
    Arc P.

    Loved it here! It's very authentic Korean equipped even with the "ping-pong" sounding button for service. Very efficient service system! We had the spicy bulgogi ($15), the Kim chi pancake ($12) and the 1/2 order of Lee House chicken ($18). It also included the side dishes of Kim chi, spicy daikon, soy beans, seaweed and a single bowl of rice. Spicy and savory all dishes really packed a punch. Delicious but not recommended if you are sensitive to chillies! The food was plentiful and we took half of our meal home. Service was great. Restaurant was clean. Bathrooms were clean. They even have super energetic K-Pop in the background in case you had any doubts on what kind of restaurant you are in. I can't want to go back. Miss it already!

    Jab Chae Bokeum
    Andrea C.

    Lee House is located along the busy strip of 97 Street, right across from Lucky 97 Supermarket. It occupies the corner of a building and is much bigger than their location off of Whyte Avenue. The space is clean and furnished with tables, chairs, and decor straight from Korea. The decor is rustic and each table is equipped with a built in stove for Korean BBQ. With all the changes, I was excited when I finally had the chance to visit. Along with the renovations, Lee House made some big changes to the menu. They kept the classic dishes, like their famous chicken balls, but also added some new ones - most notably, Korean street food, lunch boxes, and more soups. One of my favourite street foods is ddukbokki, a combination of rice cakes and fish cakes in a spicy chili sauce. Lee House's Dubboki ($9.95) features rice cake sticks mixed with fish cakes, cabbage, and onion in a spicy sweet Korean chili sauce and a hard boiled egg. The mixture is gooey and has a nice spicy kick, and the rice cakes are cooked to a soft, chewy consistency. Unfortunately the sauce was too sweet for my liking, as I like my chili sauce to be on the savoury side. The Jab Chae Bokeum ($12.95) at Lee House is my favourite jab chae in Edmonton. The combination of the sweet potato noodles with cabbage, carrot, onion, and black fungus in a sweet soy sauce is delicious. The noodles are stir fried with the perfect amount of oil so that the noodles don't stick together and it is deliciously garlicky. I love the chewy noodles and always order this dish when I visit Lee House. To warm up on a cold day Korean soups and stews fit the bill. The Yuk Gae Jang ($12.95) came to the table in a bright red beef broth with shredded beef brisket, an egg, green onion, and shiitake mushroom. Given the colour, the stew surprisingly wasn't spicy. There was a nice portion of brisket but it felt like the dish was mostly broth. I would have loved if there were more substantial ingredients in it. Overall, Lee House is a welcome addition to the busy Chinatown strip. Customer favourites from the original menu remain, and I'm looking forward to returning to try more of the new ones. Although I didn't try the BBQ items, I would definitely consider ordering some of the dishes for dinner when I have more time. Service is fairly quick, especially with a built in call bell at each table. The Whyte Avenue location recently re-opened following some renovations and I've heard that drastic changes have been made to the menu. Classic dishes are gone, and it's more of a location offering quick food options. So if you're craving your favourite Lee House dishes, Chinatown is the location you have to visit.

    I've been waiting for what seems like ages for Lee House's latest restaurant to open up shop. Seriously, it's been in limbo since the spring time. What took so long? I guess, as the saying goes, you have to wait for the good things in life. Anyways, we had a little reunion with one of my buddies from out of town and went to check out Lee House's latest digs. The place was pretty packed for a Wednesday evening and is split into two different areas, the left side more compact with smaller tables while the right side is for bigger groups of families and friends. The restaurant has a very spacious, open air feeling and they clearly put a lot of time and effort into making things look great. I was hoping that they would put more of their focus on Korean BBQ, as Edmonton is seriously lacking a good place. We shall see, I'm sure things will change when they finish renovating their original Whyte Ave shop. While we were waiting for my buddy to show up, we perused the menu which has quite the variety of options. We decided to try several of their BBQ options but sadly, we didn't even get to grill any meat. Sad face. Also, I have to mention service was pretty weak, even for an Asian restaurant. We could barely hear when the waitress told us what our dishes were, had to ask for tea several times, and it was hard to flag down someone to take our order. I'm sure it will get better once they settle in. We ordered: - Banchan and rice bowls - the banchan were all good, especially the bean sprouts and spinach. I just wish they brought out more/re-filled them during our meal. - Bibimbap ($10.95) - steamed rice topped with vegetables (carrots, spinach, zucchini, daikon, bean sprouts) over a lightly fried egg. They brought out the Korean chili paste in a separate bottle, so you can add as much as you want. The bibimbap was decent but nothing to write home about. - Jap chae bokeum ($11.95) - potato noodles with mixed vegetables, black fungus mushroom in a sweet soy mushroom sauce. This dish was perfectly done! Noodles had the perfect chew. I think I just love noodles. Someone teach me how to make this at home. - Bulgogi ($14.95) - sliced beef marinated in a sweet soy garlic sesame sauce. - Spicy pork loin bulgogi ($14.95) - sliced pork loin marinated in a sweet onion, garlic chili paste. Slightly spicy, full of flavour, this was my favourite bulgogi dish of the night. - Sweet ginger pork bulgogi ($14.95) - sliced pork loin marinated in a sweet ginger sesame soy. I didn't get too much ginger flavour from this one, but it was still quite tasty. So to sum up, first visit (of what I'm sure will be many) was pretty good. Lots of interesting items to lure you back. We'll have to make sure next time we try out their other BBQ items and do some grilling! I'm impressed with all the good Korean restaurants in town - make sure to add this one to your list of must try.

    Dol sot bibimbap (rice in a hot stone bowl with a fried egg on top)
    Lillian T.

    Brought some friends with us to Lee House this past holiday Monday. Thankfully they were open considering it was a holiday and we could also make reservations. Our friends love ethnic foods but I have never been to Lee House so my hubby and I did the ordering. We ordered a hot stone bowl rice with veggies known as the dol sot bibimbap, bulgolgi beef, fried chicken and a huge pot of pork bone stew. They were super understaffed and had quite a few tables ordering on Monday so food too a bit more time to arrive. We also ran into some issues with the hot plate for our pork bone stew so that took a while to figure out. We did have other food items arrive in meantime so that was good. Eventually, they gave us a portable burner to cook the stew. Everything else was delicious. I always like how the fried chicken is not oily yet still juicy! The bibimbap arrived hot and sizzling. There was one small issue with our bulgolgi as well but they apologized for that and even took it off our bill. Overall, good location and food. I'm sure the next time we go it won't be as short staffed. Perhaps Monday was just an off day. Go check them out at their downtown location for now as the one on gateway is still closed for renos.

    Spicy pork neck bone soup with side dishes
    Jim C.

    An excellent place for Korean food in Edmonton. Really enjoyed the spicy pork neck bone soup. It was a large portion for a decent price. I had four side dishes that were plentiful and very tasty. It wasn't that busy but it seemed there was only one person taking orders and bringing out food. So if you're tucked away on the side, it is hard to get noticed even though you ring the bell a few times. Yes, each table has a little button to ring a little bell for someone to come to your table. Service was overall okay and the restaurant was nice and clean. Staff were polite and friendly.

    Stone Bowl Bi Bim Bab. Add a little hot sauce while eating and bam a little spicy kick.
    Raymond L.

    Upon an error in thinking there was a E.S.O. concert to watch tonight, I ended coming to Lee House instead with a friend. It opens till 10 PM on weekdays so that is handy. This use to be the one by Whyte Ave on Calgary Trail. So for those who remember that location this place has a lot more room. The food is pretty good for the pricing. The spiciness of the Kim Chi is a little on the light side however some might like it like that. All in all its a good place to come eat at. They have dishes that you can order and share by table top cooking so definitely bring some friends and have a nice meal together.

Ambiance was lively as the restaurant was busy. Restaurant was clean including the restrooms. There was plenty of free parking on the plaza. My only complaint is the price of the dumplings. I am too used to Lower Mainland prices that there was a sticker shock at $18.95. Maybe this is the normal in Edmonton?

We love kbbq but it's very expensive here in Edmonton, and there are only two in the city. It's located in an inconspicuous (weird if you ask me) spot, in a neighbourhood in front of a school. Parking wasn't that difficult to get. Upon arriving we waited 10 minutes for our reservation and we got seated. The vibe and atmosphere of this place is very family-run-authentic. The meats are served buffet style and you grab your own drinks from the soda fountain. Sides of lettuce, salad (my personal fave- amazing vinaigrette to cut the meat), kimchi, bean sprouts, etc. There were also a few variety of fried items. My favorite was the shrimp chips. They also have fried rice but no white rice. Which leads me to my next point-- Service: AMAZING!! One of the older ladies saw my boyfriend and I mixing our fried rice and kimchi to make kimchi fried rice. She asked if we wanted some sesame oil and seaweed to put into our fried rice to make it more bokkeum-bap!! She came back with a bottle of sesame oil and mixed it in for us. The only downsides: They put a piece of parchment paper over the grill which kind of absorbs all the juice. The selection of meat is very limited as well. For 2 people not including our alcohol, it came to about $75 for AYCE. Not too bad considering it's the only other kbbq place in town. Will definitely be regulars!

I'm not sure if the veggies and rice were for my meal or my friend's or for the table, but we both enjoyed it. I really liked the radish dish. Our meals were also delicious. My friend's pork cutlet was massive and she said it was really good. I loved the Japchae, it was savoury and comforting. I had been debating about ordering one of the full vegetable dishes like the eggplant or cucumber salad, but the serving sizes are decent and I wasn't hungry. The downside was they forgot about our drinks. I kept waiting and finally partway through our meal I pressed the button and asked about our drinks, and they had completely forgotten. The server (a different one from before) apologized. My friend's coke came out right after that and my drink took a few minutes to make. I do understand things get missed (I've worked in restaurants before), but it also wasn't very busy. So I can't give Hanjan 5-stars because of this but it was still a really meal. Both my friend and I said we'd go back again.

    Just two words: FREAKING AWESOME!…read moreI love Korean food and I have gone to many Korean restaurants. One of my friends who is Korean, recommended this place so we decided to give it a shot. As we entered we noticed a very well designed restaurant with cozy atmosphere! The staff were very nice and friendly which made the experience even better. The food: I have never seen a quality like this! Everything was high quality and delicious! We did not have any leftovers!!! When we were going to leave, they gave us some sort of a small drink that I have no idea what it was but it was very refreshing and delicious! They met all of my expectations from a good restaurant and don't be surprised if you see I become a regular here! I highly recommend this place! :)

    Made a reservation as my friend said last time he came he could not eat because it was too busy…read more Place as 30% full Friday at 6:30PM - probably didn't need the reservation. Got the strawberry Soju. I loved it, friend did not. Tried the Baekjeong Combo for 2. Steamed egg was sooooo cool. Tasted pretty bland but presentation was 12/10. Stone/container keeps it hot for quite a while too! Tried the only soup that did not say spicy. 10/10 was good. Rice was good. Salad was good - I liked the dressing. Pickled ?daikon was 10/10 so great for cutting through all the meat flavor. Bean sprouts were just okay. Friend liked the sauerkraut but I did not. Broccoli was very nice to grill. Marinated raw Onion was good (better slightly warmed on the grill). Marinated pork was my favorite. Pork belly was good. The super thinly sliced was one was my least favorite. Hard to cook and shrivels up too much. The super thick cuts I also did not like as I found it too chewy but honestly that could just be my cooking skills. Grill was swapped out 3 times during our 1.5hr experience. Ate 100% of everything But only 50% of the egg, and 10% of the bean sprouts (2 very hungry people). Overall what a fun experience. But I like Gyu-Kaku more (Better price for same experience and I like the marinated cheap meats better than the expensive cuts).

    I've always wanted to go to Hanjan but never had the time to visit for months. Now the stars had…read morefinally aligned and we came here right after an Oiler's watchparty. We arrived right before other people filled up the place so it was a little busy. I'm surprised at how much space and seating they have. At first I just saw 4 person tables but they led us to the other area where they had large tables for bigger parties. We had 9 people in our party and they seated us immediately. My boyfriend and I split the Bulgogi Fries and the Padak (Soy Garlic) Korean Fried Chicken. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. After one bite of the Bulgogi Fries, it was an immediate 10/10. The fries were crispy and had the perfect golden crisp + soft inside ratio. And don't even get me started with the sauce on top. The white sauce was light, and had the perfect combination of slightly sweet and savory. It was a wonderful aioli. And the veggies added were so good. The tomatoes and scallions added a nice freshness and slight acidity to the overall dish. Lastly the bulgogi was just *chef's kiss*. I don't really know how else to explain it other than the Bulgogi Fries were a well-balanced dish. We were scooping every single missed vegetable in the sauce after we demolished the fries. The Padak (Soy Garlic) fried chicken was so tasty. Whenever I get wings, my go-to is pretty much anything soy garlic, or anything included garlic. The fried chicken skin was the best part. Great texture, crunchy, crispy, wonderful flavor. It was a great blend of savory, umami, and garlic. And the green onions on top was a great addition. Portion size for both things we ordered was perfect for the two of us. Also, don't even get me started on the banchans. Great kimchi, radish kimchi was so refreshing, and that mashed potato side? Terrific. We asked for more banchan when we were done. Lastly, we came back the very next day to try the desserts. At first, I wanted to pick one dessert to share between me and my boyfriend but it was so difficult to choose one. So we got both lol. We ordered the Injeolmie Waffle, Honey Butter Bread, and tried some of my cousin's Strawberry Bingsu. The Injeolmi Waffle itself was delicious, sweet but not too sweet. The ice cream added that sweetness and the almonds on top were nice. And the Honey Butter Bread? Wow. The milk bread and the fresh whipped cream were fluffy, light, and not too sweet. I would go back again in a heartbeat. If I was in the neighborhood, I would be a regular. And when I give a place 5 stars, 5 stars to me means: take my money and I might dangerously spend too much of my paycheck here. Which is what I did, but no regrets. I will not stop talking about this place. 10's all across the board for me! Love you Hanjan.

    So, again, I should have read my last review and this place was still cold, one year later. TURN UP…read moreYOUR HEAT! Me and my friends were freezing. That is why it lost a star. Otherwise it is a large restaurant, pretty non descript in nature but clean and orderly. I like that after you are seated, and you get your menus you ring a doorbell at your table when you are ready. I like this. The servers are not running around ragged. Great menu - lots of selections. We ordered a lot of different items - Gamja Tang - Spicy, hearty pork bone soup with potatoes, green onions, hot peppers, and ground sesame seeds. Galbi - Beef short ribs soaked in a sweet soy marinade and grilled. Cheese Buldak - Korean Fire Chicken, tender chicken coated in a spicy gochujang sauce with rice cakes, potatoes, and mozzarella cheese melted on top, and soy garlic fried chicken. It also came with some steamed rice and banchan which is small appetizers of pickeled vegs. Everything was delicous but my favourite was the gamja tang. Delicous! Despite our freezing we also splurged on the mango bingsu - shaved ice dessert topped with fresh mangoes, ice cream, and condensed milk. Delicous but we walked out like popsicles. I will have to come back in summer :)

    Pocha Seoul is one of the top 5 Korean restaurants in Edmonton for me. The highlight has always…read morebeen their Ppyeo haejangguk (Gam Ja Tang - one person serving). 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

    This is definitely one of the hidden gems of the south side. The shop is located between two other…read moredining establishments and if you weren't looking carefully you'd probably miss it. 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.

My order was ready within the time frame given by the restaurant. The lady who helped me greeted me immediately when I walked into the restaurant, and was quick to assist me. The Sweet Soy Chicken Bites had a light, crisp batter and the sauce was tasty and not too thick. The Cheese Corn dog was huge and had the perfect cheese to batter ratio. I recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Korean street food.

It is a fast food joint, so don't expect much for atmosphere or comfortablity. And the chick behind the counter wasn't really helpful or friendly. She reminded me of someone that is disgruntled in life and needs to be doing something else. That being said, food was great. Nice selection of street food. We grabbed a selection of things - ramen, bulgogi bibimbab, sausage mozza corn dog, sweet butter fries, tuna mayo kimbab, and garlic soy chicken bites as well as two bubble teas. Food came out extemely fast. It was hot and tasted fresh. My family enjoyed their ramen. I really liked the bulgogi bibimbab. Good portion size, and a good ratio of meat to veggies. Beef was well seasoned. my kid had the spicy pork cutlet ramen and I sampled the broth. It was really spicy and delicous. Chicken bites were good but not outstandish. Birthday kid wolfed down the fries and corn dog. If you like these things, you really need to come here. The Kimbab was fresh but I was hoping for a bit more flavours in it. The bubble tea was fine but a bit sweet for my liking. However, if you need a quick bite to eat and are in the area, choose this over any fast food establishment. About the same in price point, and way better flavours and freshness. This would also make a good take out for a picnic.
