I also liked that they had big TV screens on both sides of the restaurant for customers to enjoy while dining in. I saw a lot of patrons ordering from their weekday lunch specials and the prices are actually quite good. However, it was all carbs mostly and I didn't want to be sleepy afterwards. We each got a soup. Mine had Korean cabbage in it. It was good but i think the cabbage was cut up too big. Not sure if this is how it's supposed to be but i found it messy to eat. For instance, i bit off half of the cabbage only to find soup dripping down my mouth from the remaining half. The prices of the soup were on par with other Korean restaurants in the area but i found bbong to be more mediocre than it's competitors.

Bbong Korean Restaurant 뽕 is located at Hanin Village 한인 빌리지 on North Road in Coquitlam (same plaza…read moreas H Mart). Bbong has been on our list for a while, and there are many alternative options in the area. Thanks to all the glowing reviews about their generous portions and reasonable prices, we finally made it to Bbong. This cozy spot serves up Korean-Chinese cuisine (韓式中華料理), As soon as we stepped in, we noticed the place was buzzing with families -- lots of kids, which felt like a good sign. We went a little overboard with our order. We have no regrets. We were stuffed, but the food was so worth it. The leftovers made for a delicious late-night snack and a great lunch the next day. They still tasted amazing the day after! Bbong features a wider range of Korean-Chinese dishes like Jajangmyeon 짜장면 (black bean noodles), Tangsuyuk 탕수육 (crispy pork in sweet & sour sauce), Kkanpunggi 깐풍기 (spicy garlic fried chicken), and Guobaorou 꿔바로우 (deep-fried pork in a tangy glaze). The flavours lean sweeter, sour, salty, and more spicier than those found in Korean cuisine, but they have the best fusion flavour from Korean Chinese cuisine - think sweet-sour-spicy. We happened to visit during their 10th anniversary promotion, which made everything even more affordable. It was such a steal. Bbong 뽕is the kind of spot you want to go back to again and again, especially with friends or family. We're already planning our next visit -- so many more dishes to try. If you're in the Coquitlam area, this spot is a must. Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 5/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay! They have options to adjust the spice level (great for kids!). Price: $30-$40 each person (dinner) Presentation: 2/5 Parking: 3/5 Parking can be challenging during the peak time of dining and grocery shopping. Tips: * Just a short walk from Lougheed Town Centre SkyTrain station. * Go hungry or bring a takeout container - massive portions. * Offer tasty side dishes (banchan) -- and also offer refills! Would I Return: Yes ‍

A nice cute and warm Korean spot in Burnaby for when I'm craving something warm and comforting. The…read morespicy pork here is quite good and super flavorful without being blow-your-face-off spicy. Their cheese tteokbokki also hits the spot every time (chewy, saucy, very bingeable). Portions are generous, service is quick, and the place always feels low-key and friendly. Easy spot to recommend when you just want a satisfying meal that never really misses.

The tteokbokki was a little sweet and had a more meaty flavour. The tteok was a little sweet too, good chew. The hot pot was literally full of meat, all so tender. Two of us got through maybe half of it, there was so much meat! Quite a value spot if you're looking for Korean soup in Edmonds.

We were a table of 6 people. We each ordered the lunch special. I got the plain tofu beef soup with rice. It was quite tasty. However, I did find the portion size somewhat small. Parking is hit and miss. There are only a few parking spots in front of the restaurant. There are plenty of parking spots on the street. Service was ok. Not the best but passable.

This is my third time coming to DooBoo. I was introduced to this place by my Korean friend. I have…read morenever had soft tofu soup before. But this has become my absolute favorite. I often crave sundubu and DooBoo comes to my rescue. The soup is perfectly spiced. The medium can be quite spicy, so go for mild and add gochujang if you need to up the spice level. The service is prompt and nice - no fuss! I have also tried their japchae. While it's pretty good, it's a tad bit on the expensive side. Their pancakes are pretty delectable too. I like their stone bibimbab. It is pretty good in taste with great quantity for the price.

Since the ownership change, I've noticed some small shifts: prices have gone up a little, and the banchan seems to change more often (sometimes a hit, sometimes a miss). But the core dishes are still satisfying and cozy, I always get the soondubu, perfect when you're craving a hot, hearty meal that feels homemade. Service is friendly, portions are decent, and it still scratches the Korean comfort food itch, even if it's not exactly what it used to be.

It was quiet when I arrived for an early lunch. Typical of many Korean restaurants, there is a…read moreservice bell at the booth which makes it easy to flag down a server. I went for the sogogi dolsot bibimbap. It was served quickly and came with a large variety of banchan. I loved the bottle of spicy red sauce and probably added way too much, but it was so tasty. The rice crisped up on the dolsot at the bottom and provided a nice texture. The kimchi banchan was delicious so was the fish cake banchan. I recently saw a few foodies post about this spot so I assume they're going to get pretty busy soon. I will try and get a group of friends next time so we can try more things. You also get a yakult at the end of your meal. Easy parking in the lot, or pay parking on Anson. Come check it out!

The army stew is my go-to dish to order whenever I'm craving Korean comfort food, & theirs definitely hit the spot with the generous servings of meats, 2 types of noodles, various veggies, & all without being too salty. The seafood pancake was crispy & so hearty. We enjoyed chasing everything down with refreshing Milkis & (my fave) Cass beer! The ambience is lovely; walls are decorated with traditional Korean Hanbok outfits & texts. Service was friendly & prompt. All in, a 10/10 experience!

Standards - KFC, Galbi, bibimbap, jap chae, soups, plus two-person giant hot pot dishes meant to be shared. I had tofu soup and my daughter. Had ox bone tail soup. The ox bone tail soup was VERY bland. The noodles were really bland too. My tofu soup was decent but nothing special. Tofu very smooth, standard soup. You get 3 side dish's - sprouts, kimchi and sweet potato. Overall an OK place.

It was a busy Friday evening but we were able to find a table for 2. Service was slow as there's only one server who does everything except cook but he was friendly. We ordered our favourite LA galbi and also got the half half chicken order. LA galbi always hits the spot. The price has gone up a little, which is to be expected, but you get a generous portion of really well marinated and cooked meat for $32. The chicken here is always made fresh - crispy, juicy, and hot. We can never finish and always have leftovers. Look forward to our next visit.

We got the kalbi with seafood tofu soup, bulgogi with beef tofu soup and bossam with beef soup. We also got the fried chicken with fries. Honestly for the price the food is okay.

The Kalbi came with 2 pieces and they were all quite burnt. The bulgogi was too salty and also too chewy. The fried chicken was pretty crunchy and not dry. The fries were okay. Service was fast and good. Overall it's pretty worth the $20 but I wouldn't come again as to me the food was just okay

Have had Daan Korean Cuisine bookmarked for awhile. It's around the corner from Uncle Sal's…read moreShawarma. We dropped in on a Monday (11:30am), which filled up quickly for lunch. Like how they leave multiple tea pots and water on the tables. 24 items on the menu; appetizers, KFC, BBQ hot plate, rice & noodle and soup & stews. Banchan can be refilled once for free. We opted for medium spice (which was extremely mild). - Banchan - glazed potatoes (standard), kimchi (good kick) and bean sprouts (refreshing). - Seafood pancake ($25.99 large) - decent. - Chicken wings ($10.99) and boneless chicken balls ($11.99 for 7) - wings were standard, balls didn't have much of a crispy bite. - Pork bone hotpot ($37.99 small) - came with two bowls of rice. Reasonable amount of pork with a few potatoes, jalapeños and green onions. Broth was light and lacked depth. - Galbi beef short-rib hot plate ($29.99) - came with a salad. Short ribs were tender and juicy. - Bulgogi stir fried udon ($16.99) - the udon didn't have much texture, sauce wasn't satisfying. Skip it. - Seafood soft tofu stew ($15.99) - good amount of tofu but the broth was one-dimensional. Have had much better sundubu jjigae. Not bad but nothing exciting at DKC to warrant a return visit.
