Korean BBQ restaurant is a family owned and ran eatery in the downtown area of Kitchener. This…read morequaint establishment is clean and friendly. When you walk in you're warmly greeted with a smile. The menu has great options while not being overwhelming. During a trip to Kitchener I frequented this restaurant 3 days in a row, while being remembered by the owners each time, because of how amazing the food was. I tried multiple dishes each day and was truly blown away but my favorite was the soondubu/tofu stew. The jjajangmyun, jjamppong, shrimp fried rice, and tteobokki are all fantastic and I highly recommend. A friend had the pork belly and she said it was amazing. I will have to find an excuse one day to visit Kitchener again because of this spot. Wishing the best to the owners and their family. This place is truly a GEM.

Plenty of side dish options were provided, however, I wish they would have provided refills as most other korean places do. The bingsu was subtly sweet, just the perfect amount but not enough injeolmi flavour. Mochi had the perfect fluffy texture that complemented the dessert very well. Service was pretty poor as no one came to check up on us or helped us with getting a refill on our water jug. Overall, pretty good considering how cheap the food was!

That's why…read morewe headed to Owl - one of the few Korean restaurants in the Loo, and it may just be the best. Arriving on a Friday night with a big group, it was not too busy in the restaurant. We were seated in a booth so it was roomy and comfortable. They had kpop playing on the TV which was nice and entertaining to watch. We ordered the spicy ricecakes and kimchi pancake as our appetizers, which were delicious! It was my first time trying the kimchi pancake, and it was so crispy and fresh. The refillable side dishes were tasty as well, particularly the kimchi radish and potatoes. There were many options on the menu to choose from but I finally settled for spicy bulgogi which comes with a bowl of rice. The spicy bulgogi came on a sizzling plate, mixed with different veggies and glass noodles. I haven't tried glass noodles in bulgogi before but I found that it was a nice addition since it carried the sauce well. It was a really yummy dish and I'd order it again. I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal. Can't wait to be back for more!

We were in Waterloo for the day and looking for a spot to eat for lunch. We came across this Kimbap…read morestore with high reviews so we had to try! The shop inside is small but had some seating if you wanted to dine in. Staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile upon entering, very welcoming! You would order at the counter and I think you pick up your food as well, we didn't dine in so I'm not sure if they do table service. The Kimbap is made fresh to order so it took them 10-15 minutes to make our order. We had ordered 4 Kimbaps and a bulgogi cup bowl dish. The cup was a bit small for the price we paid ($17 before tax/tip) but the Kimbap turned out to be very large and filling ($13-$14 each before tax/tip for the tuna and bulgogi kimbaps). Although the Kimbap was large and colourful with a lot of nice ingredients, we found a few pieces kept breaking when we were trying to pick it up to eat. It didn't hold together as nice so it made the experience a little messy with the ingredients dropping out. For the price and the Kimbap not holding together well, I'm not sure if I would come back as often. I rather get it at H-Mart for cheaper or make it myself at home. The prices are before tax and tip so it can get expensive for only 10 large pieces of Kimbap. It's worth giving the spot a try though! The Kimbap did taste pretty good and staff are friendly. They do have other items as well such as the egg sando etc.
