Came to Bon Ga at an off-hour (around 3pm), so we were the only ones there. The service was polite…read moreand attentive, which we appreciated. The restaurant also has a nice ambiance. Unfortunately, the food was a bit underwhelming overall. The bossam was over-boiled and quite bland--it also didn't come with any lettuce or cabbage for wrapping, which was a letdown. The short ribs were a little chewy and unevenly marinated, resulting in some flavorful bites but also a lot of bland ones. The tofu soup was solid, but I do wish they served the egg on the side so we could crack it in ourselves--mine ended up with a fully boiled yolk, and I prefer it runny. The tteokbokki was decent; the rice cakes were firmer than I like, and there was barely any fish cake in the dish. We also tried the fried squid rings, which were mostly good, though one of the larger pieces had an odd pasty texture--possibly under-fried or over-battered. All in all, not a terrible experience, but the food didn't quite hit the mark for me.

You know with how they served this item, it is their speciality and made with love. With pressure cooking it to brining it, to serving it at room temp. The onion sauce, the 2nd onion picked sauce, the garnishes. It is ART. I had leftovers for 2 meals! I'm looking forward to heading back for another pig trotter :p

Came for dinner and the place was full on a weekend! (Yay for the business). 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.

Got the oxtail soup, galbi and some stone Rice to share amongst 3 people…read more Oxtail soup was bland. Thai was not the first time where their soup was bland. 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.

Still coming back to Nadri after all these years! In my recent visit we arrived half an hour before…read moretheir closing and they were kind enough to let us order. But will have to remember to come back earlier next time if I plan to order their fried chicken because they have closed off their fryer by that time. In our visit we ordered the clam kalguksu and galbi tang. Both dishes were full of umami flavours. And it is the perfect place to grab a bite after a day of work for some simple and laid back in a food court setting.

I haven't been to Nadri in a long while and it used to be one of my favorite restaurants in K town…read more I was somewhat disappointed at the food i received and the service provided. I'm not sure if it's because they depend another restaurant nearby and all the good staff went over there?! The server lady had a poker face on the entire time. When she brought us our utensils and appetizers, she sort of threw them on the table. Previous visits, we'd get asked for side dish refills or even water. We had to approach them for refills. The kalbi Tang wasn't as tasty as i remembered. Yes the broth is lighter than most Korean soups, but i recalled that it was still rich in taste. Today it tasted a bit watered down and the meat wasn't tender at all. The ginseng chicken soup was also mediocre...perhaps they forgot to season the food? I have officially removed Nadri from my favorites list.

We came on an early weekday evening, and we were the only table here. The small BBQ meal piqued our…read moreinterest, so we decided to order that to split between the 2 of us. It seemed like their BBQ meals are quite popular since a couple of tables after us ordered the same. You are given the option of pork belly or pork jowl or a combination of the two. We chose the latter option, and we weren't disappointed! We were fairly new to this style of Korean BBQ dining and were deep in conversation, so we kept getting distracted and forgot to check on the meats. The waitress working was EXTREMELY patient and helpful. She helped us with the cooking and made conversation and joked with us. I personally prefer the pork belly because the pork jowl was a bit lean and dry (perhaps that was due to our poor cooking). The side dishes and soybean soup were standard - no complaints but also nothing to rave about. Instead of getting the rice with the soup, we ended the meal with the fried rice (additional $5). There was quite a lot of food leftover for 2 people so the small is definitely a good amount!

It is a small restaurant running by a few Korean ladies. Once food is ordered, the chef or kitchen prepares and served the food quickly. I love the efficiency here! We ordered chewy noodles in hot soup with fish cakes, some veggies, and eggs and spicy chewy cold noodles with a lot of veggies. Indeed the portion was quite big but we also ordered kimchi mandu. Each kimchi mandu had a decent size so we were very full. Everything tasted good here. I would recommend this Korean restaurant if you want to try something different from a typical one. The restaurant is in a shopping complex so it's attached to a parking lot. Although the parking lot is busy, it's usually fine to find a parking spot.

We got the Cold Chewy Noodle and an order of Half & Half Dumplings. 4 steamed Kimchi and 4 Pork dumplings The food was ready quite quickly. The chewy noodles were refreshing, like a salad with noodles, give it a quick mix, and yum! The kimchi dumplings were not too spicy and with lots of filling The pork dumplings also tasted fresh, and the dumpling skin was quite thin and not too sticky My cravings were satisfied, it was a perfect way to try out their dumplings There are just a few tables here and the turnover is quite quick It was a bit warm but glad they opened their doors to keep the restaurant cool

Hearty and delicious - all I can ever ask for when I'm craving a nice steamy bowl of soup…read more Between 2, a big bowl of galbi-tang served with rice and a regular order of steamed dumplings was more than enough to satiate our hunger. The dipping sauces for each respective order paired nicely with the food. On another visit, I thoroughly enjoyed the soondaeguk and left feeling happily stuffed. Dookbaeki might just be my default local spot for soups. With a large seating space, we were seated immediately (came just after 8 on a Thursday evening with a party of 6) though they can get busy! Last time I visited ~6pm there were few tables open but were seated quickly as well.

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!

Came here on a rainy day. They offered either water or barley tea. I love barley tea, and it was…read morevery comforting during the dreary weather. We were quite hungry, and asked for advice regarding sizes, and were advised to order the following for 2: -Pork Tang Su Yuk (Large: 39.00$): Comes served with a thick, syrupy, sweet and sour sauce on the side. The sauce contains some fresh produce such as cabbage and onions, which is quite nice and refreshing, and cuts through the sauce, providing a different flavour in addition to the fried umami of the pork. I appreciate that the sauce comes served on the side, because I like my food CrUnCHy -Ja Jang Myun (Regular: 13.50$): It was tasty, very onion forward (which I LOVE). My only comment was that I was expecting the sauce to have little pieces of pork in it, and I personally did not detect any, which translated to a bit of a superfluous sauce. Afterwards I checked the menu, and it does say that there is minced pork in the sauce, so I'm not sure... This was more than enough food for 2 people (we got leftovers to take home), and I think the perfect amount of food for 3. I appreciate good portion sizes. Additionally, they served yellow radish, and kimchi radish cubes with it, and had vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper powder at every table. The server was kind, the vibes were quaint, family-owned, "mom and pop" hole in the wall, and the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

Only went to this restaurant one other time but remembered loving the food here, so decided to come…read moreback here again. Especially when I saw Omurice on the menu. I was pretty sure that my daughter would jump at the chance to have Omurice and I was absolutely right about it! I'm not sure if they normally use any kind of meat or meat broth in their Omurice. It's not listed on the menu, so I inquired about making the dish Vegetarian. The waitress asked if I was OK with egg. Seems like a lot of people don't really understand the difference between vegetarian and vegan. If I were asking for a vegan dish...well there's just no way I could eat the dish as the egg is the "Omu" part of the dish and therefore the main attraction. I got the point across though that I just didn't want any chunks of meat or meat broth used in the dish. (It was my daughter's dish mainly but I wanted to try it, and she's fine with eating vegetarian foods even though she does still eat meat.) It was a really yummy Omurice and I think we may have just found a new favourite of ours on the North Shore! I ordered the same vegetarian Jab Chae Rice that I ordered last time and it was just as good as I remembered it. It really puzzles me though that this dish is listed under the Rice section. It does come with a bowl of white rice but it's a freakin huge platter of noodles and the noodles are really the main star of the dish...not the rice! Grandma ordered the Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice which is supposed to be a Seafood fried rice with vegetables and pork in black bean sauce, topped with a fried egg. She wasn't too impressed with this dish and honestly...I guess I can't really blame her for it. In my last review I wrote that you can't really go wrong with any dish on this menu. I take that back now. I think this is probably the first dish we've tried here that was less than stellar. There was a lot of rice in the dish, and barely any seafood in the rice. The black bean sauce was...nothing to write home about? Other than the underwhelming Sam Sun Stir Fried Rice though, I still give this place a thumbs up and would still highly recommend coming here. Lots of restaurants have hit and miss dishes. This place still serves some great food overall.
