Korean seafood restaurant - Bambada. It's near Coquitlam Center, across from M Cafe for those who…read moreare familiar with that area. They specialize in seafood, we ordered a small seafood pot ($50), the whole pot was packed with seafood, the broth is amazing. Service is attentive and friendly. It's not very noticeable from outside, as it has tinted windows. But once you go in, is actually very bright and clean. Highly recommend!

Bossam is served with a fun variety of sides like tofu, pickles, and radish. The deep fried oysters + pancake options (seafood and potato both) have not let us down, though the pancakes are a little small for the price imo. Have only had their signature seafood pot once; it was fresh though not memorable enough to be something we gravitate towards.

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!

They have…read morea daily $10 special consisting of soups, and rice bowl sets however it's very much a kbbq restaurant since there were bbq stoves even for two seaters. They offer a variety of meat, cuts, and combo deals but on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, they have an all beef and all pork all you can eat. We went on a Wednesday and it was all you can eat pork belly and marinated pork, with a soup and unlimited kimchi pancake and sides all for $30. The servers were extremely attentive in asking about refills, whether that's the rice, meats or even side dishes. A great bang for your buck for all you can eat these days. We heard the staff speaking to many customers in Korean so it must be Koreans approved. Need to come back on a Tuesday to try their beef all you can eat!

I first tried this place earlier this yr for lunch and ordered the beef bone broth soup, which came…read morewith a bowl of rice and banchan. I was craving this soup and glad I tried it here because it hit the spot! Tasted delicious, didn't have to wait for a table, and it was reasonably priced then. Came back here last night for dinner with my family and was finally able to try the bbq items. It was a hit! We ordered 2 of the combo A which was the perfect servings for 2 adults and 3 (very hungry!) teenaged boys. Not only did it come with 3 meat types (thinly sliced pork belly, marinated beef Bulgogi, and one other thinly sliced beef), it also came with soup, banchan, and a big bowl of Bibimbap. We also ordered their seafood pancake which was perfectly crispy and not too thin or thick. The actual bbq grill itself was the best one I've seen at a Korean restaurant because it was non-stick, temperature controlled really well, and it didn't leave us smelling like the food after dining. The ventilation must've been good here as it wasn't super smoky at all. The best dish was definitely the bean paste soup! We all loved it and had never tried it before, so next time we have Korean, it will be a staple in our order! It wasn't too busy last night so we were seated right away. Staff were friendly and while they were short-staffed, they were quick enough to get what we requested and ordered in a timely manner.

That was a good sign the food was good but also meant a longer wait time for food to arrive. We ordered a few items for lunch. The dumplings were some of the best dumplings I have eaten in awhile. Both the fried and steamed versions were fantastic. The fried dumplings were crispy and meat filling was nicely seasoned. The steamed dumplings were good too. The wrapper skin stayed intact when I got around to eating one of them and the dumplings did not stick on each other. I feel like it was the same filling as the fried dumplings. It was a tasty filling regardless. The japchae could have had more meat. It was a good portion size with lots of onions. Service was as good as it could be for a busy restaurant. We received our dumplings orders first and it took some time for the japchae to arrive. Overall, it was a good lunch experience. There was COVID precautions in place. Staff wore face masks. There was hand sanitizers located throughout the restaurant. There were high chairs available for the kids and was family friendly.

The sauce was good but we had better sauce. - Tray Jajangmyeon: the noodle was perfectly cooked (chewy but still had a bite).

A person is constantly cooking and if he leaves at all, he checks back to make sure food is cooked well and there's enough. Ordered the Family Combo for 4 plus shrimp and scallops.

Thank you so much for the bulgogi and tteokbokki. The side dishes are g! They mostly serve grilled items. Was looking for seafood pancake for one of our guests who doesn't eat meat but it's not on the menu. Love the apron they provide to avoid splatters! Such a good idea.

This is great as we don't read Korean and it has pictures for everything. We ordered a regular kimbab and the jang teo gook bab, which is a stew like dish with beef, veggie and rice. You can also customize how spicy you'd like right on the tablet. Both items we got were very good. The gook bab was still a bit spicy for me even though I ordered less spicy but the flavor is absolutely amazing. The booth is meaty and savory. The Kimbab was a yummy as well. It's much lighter than the gook bab. And my favorite out of all, is the soup that they provide for FREE. Hands down the best free soup ever. Food is yummy, portion is generous, service is great. I'm definitely coming back soon :)

My favourite has to be the tuna kimbap! Always a classic and can never go wrong Cold noodles are also such a treat in the hot weather we're having in Vancouver right now. However, I have to admit that this cold noodle was not as good as I thought it would be . I have also had the tteokbokki and chicken. It sounded so good I had to order it despite ordering it before and not liking it . They give a large portion so it's a good food to share with a party of friends! This is probably personal preference but the tteokbokki was a bit too soft and overcooked for my taste. I also think I prefer to have fried chicken and dip it into the tteokbokki instead so overall this dish was not my favourite.
