I liked that the sauce came separately because you need to be able to reheat the leftovers in the air fryer! Two of us shared it while there, then had to split it to take home to our families. Fed my family of 4 for dinner as the main protein no problem. We also ordered jja jjang myun noodles (my friend loved these) and deep fried mandu (awesome). That was a lot of deep fried goodness in one meal.

My hubby LOOOOVVEESS the kkanpungki. He tried so many kkanpungki from different korean restaurants around Vancouver and said that Hee Rae Dung's is still the best for him. - Kkanpungki: the chicken pieces were crispy and the sweet sour sauce was delicious (combo of tangy, sweet and a bit spicy) - Tang suyuk: the pork is crispy yet still tender. The sweet sour sauce is goood! My kid can eat this since it wasn't spicy at all. - Jjajangmyeon: good authentic black bean noodle. The sauce has bold flavor. The noodle was good and chewy - Jam bong: hearty warm soup for Vancouver cold weather but it was a bit too spicy for me. Lots of seafood inside. The restaurant is always busy. Be prepare to wait in line or go when they're just open for the day to avoid the line

Our party of six waited over an hour to be seated. If my mother hadn't spoken up, we likely would have waited even longer. Although reservations are not accepted, guests are placed on a waitlist upon arrival. Our name was clearly on the queue, but not in Korean and while I initially understood smaller parties of two or four being seated ahead of us based on table availability, concerns arose when another party of six--who was behind us in line (name was written in Korean--was seated before us. This was deeply frustrating, as we were next in line for a table that could accommodate six people. When we raised the issue, the hostess admitted it was a mistake, yet still chose to seat the other group first. They were 5th in the queue. Despite our complaint, there was no sincere apology, and we were forced to wait an additional 10 minutes while they set up another table. The entire situation left us feeling unfairly treated and discriminated against. As loyal customers who regularly spend over $300 per visit ordering family combos, extra dishes, drinks, and more, this was incredibly disappointing. Sadly, we will not be returning. There are many other restaurants that treat their customers with fairness, respect, and appreciation.

It's a cute Mom and Pop place and we were promptly greeted warmly upon arrival. The restaurant was nearly full on a Thursday night, a good sign. They have a simple small menu and we ordered the LA Galbi and Beef Bimbimbop with rice in a hot stone bowl (+$1). For some reason, the LA Galbi doesn't come with a bowl of rice but is served with a small bowl of ox bone soup. The banchans sides were plentiful with Kim chi radish, bean sprots, potatoes, and sold kind of stewed beef with veggies. LA Galbi was solid and good quality of beef, flavourful, and quantity for $35. The beef bimbimbop with rice was good for $19. Overall, a solid cute local spot worth visiting and supporting.

The galbi were fall off the bones tender and packed with flavor. Double decker noodle was HUGE, and boldly flavored, and have a kick but not too spicy. The garlic chicken noodle was flavorful, creamy, and comforting. The only down side is the restuarant is a bit tight, you feel very close to the next table. But the food makes up for it.

The wait time was around 20minutes, which wasn't so bad. After we sat down we checked out the menu. Not a lot of items, which is to be expected. The stable food here is the hand made noodles, so we ordered a couple of them to share, along with some side dishes. The kimchi chewy pancake is made out of kimchi, egg and spicy mayo. It was crunchy and tasty, and not spicy at all. The double decker is essentially pork bone soup, adding the noodle. The chicky chicky noodles used chicken broth which is why it was so tasty. When it comes to galbi, the Korea short rib, which was nicely grilled, tender and fresh. Everything else became secondary. I was especially pleased with their noodles. They were hand made, chewy in a good way. It was hard to stop eating once it's started. I think that's the highlight of the whole meal. The restaurant was a bit loud, however, the turn over was very quick, which made up for it. If you are in the area, feel free to check out this place.

The menu mostly…read moreconsisted of soup dishes and we were craving soup + rice hence we chose this spot compared to others in the complex. The food came fast. They have fresh kimchi but the Napa and radish were in whole leaves and chunks so there were scissors and tongs to cut them to your own size liking. I don't recall ever having to do this at the many Korean restaurants I've tried throughout the lower mainland so a new experience. Does it add or take away from the experience though? I would say neither... All the soups here came with either regular rice or stone bowl rice with no extra upcharge so of course I got the stone bowl rice to get the crispy rice finishes. I opted for the seafood tofu soup. There was a lot of tofu and not much seafood. Several pieces of clam, one shrimp and one mussel. Overall an alright spot for soup rice. I wasn't feeling adventurous that day so I didn't get the items that would be more unique to the restaurant such as more knuckle/collagen beef forward or dried pollack. Would come back to try those soups or even their assorted meat hotpots, which I also don't often see on Korean menus.

It required a lot of salt to make it feel tasty. The galbi was also kind of dry. The marinade was good and flavorful but it was dry. Honestly the best part of that meal was the stone bowl rice I think. The service is mid. You're not met with a smile or greeted well. It's just a stop for food.

Master Bao is named for its steamed buns 包子. I appreciate their diverse menu of appetizers, dumplings and soybean pudding aka tofu pudding or 豆腐腦. I think their soybean pudding may be more of an acquired taste for some who have never tried their Northern style salty tofu pudding before. It is prepared differently than the popular Cantonese style which is more common at restaurants and only served sweet. Their soybean pudding can be served both sweet or savory and this item is one of my favorite food item on their menu because I love the soft and silky texture. The Kingsway location is bright with friendly staff and a comfy ambiance. There's a small free parking lot in front and it's a quick lunch or afternoon snack stop. The tables here can be grouped together and ideal for large groups to dine here. It's easy to eat together as each can order their own items to their own liking and convenient to pay separately. It's also a good place to share different items with family, friends, or in a group. Cash, debit and credit card accepted with no surcharge fees.
