    Deep-fried rex sole ($18.95)
    Jonny M.

    Been to Sol Lee's for several meals. They're in the Hanin Village plaza that houses Hmart and multiple Korean restaurants. Clientele is Koreans. - Banchan - Hot stone bowl bibimbap ($17.95) - rice crisped up in the dolsot. Solid - Soft tofu stew ($17.95) - homey, comforting - Pork back-bone stew ($18.95) - gamjatang was excellent. Broth had good depth and complexity - Pork with rice and mixed veg in hot stone pot ($17.95) - rice didn't get crispy, pork was tender - Spicy cold noodles with yulmu kimchi ($15.95) - Deep-fried rex sole ($18.95) - every table orders this. Sole was perfectly cooked; light, crispy, not oily. Two good sized portions - Steamed monkfish ($47.95 medium) - agujjim was a mountain of bean sprouts, sadly bland and flavourless. My least favourite dish - Skate soup ($17.95) - broth was tasty, with a touch of smokiness. Skate was cartilagey Some interesting, unique dishes at SL.

    Japchae and pork bone soup
    Michealea F.

    Their japchae is good. The ambiance are nice and there are plenty of seatings. A lot of korean people come here to eat as well. I ordered japchae and pork bone soup. The pork meat easily falls off the bone. It's tender and the rice is on a claypot, so you can get crispy rice afterwards. The japchae is not too oily or salty. It's well balanced and I can see why my friend recommend it. However, it doesn't feel memorable. I would like to try their deep fried sole which seems to be a more popular option!

    As most can tell you, North Road is an absolute treasure trove for great Korean food. Sol Lee's is definitely no exception. The restaurant looks very simple and clean, which is completely fine as the main attraction is the food itself. Service was also fine and I found that we were well taken care of during our visit. We ordered a hot pot to share between the both of us, and as you can tell from the picture below, the portions are very generous for its price. Not only was the broth extremely flavourful and savoury, but the pork was nice and juicy as well. Overall, Sol Lee's is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for a hearty meal.

    Bolgolgi & Octopus Hot Pot
    Judy J.

    Nothing like warm soup on a cold day. Came here with family & service was quick & efficient. Typical set up of tables and booths located in plaza near Hmart so plenty of parking. Seafood Pancake - this nailed it for the top crispy part of a seafood Pancake but the bottom of pancake was absent or missing. Maybe they were trying for a less heavy pancake but for the price I expected a bit more. Bolgolgi & Octopus Hot Pot - good size for sharing between 2 people and maybe a 3rd with a smaller appetite. Good portion of flavorful beef & octopus. Feel the place should be rated a bit higher than what it is currently.

    Jap Chae
    Steven C.

    Food is hot and tasty. Service was friendly and was promptly seated. Ambience is not the greatest but good for family or friend get together. Menu is limited. Jap Chae is not greasy. Pork Cutlet is crunchy and tender.

    I feel like this place needs an updated yelp page - because the one star - and inaccurate name seems a little unfair - address is current - however I believe it goes solely as "Sol Lee's Korean Restaurant" Anyhow, was very busy in the afternoon around 2PM - might be due to the fact that it shares the plaza parking lot with H Mart! - However , service was fast and staff was super friendly and made a great suggestion with the pot to share among 3 people - Portion was great - Squid + bulgogi - mmmm so delicious! - too bad i wasn't able to test the heat this time - as my buddies do not have a tolerance to spice - so we got stuck with MILD :( Regardless taste was great , meat was so tasty , but the Squid was a tad to chewy? - but that might be affected by the amount of time we left it in the pot? Maybe too long or tried to eat it too soon - Anyways - I will definitely revisit when the opportunity arises - as there was many things on the menu that looked so appealing - and they are super busy with takeout and delivery orders as well ! https://www.instagram.com/vanleo.eatsfood1015/

    Solid seafood place near Coquitlam Centre…read more Parking is available in the lot in front of the building. The place looks nice and modern. Comfortable cushy chairs, and wooden trim. Staff are friendly but understaffed. Once the place filled up they were swamped. Signature steamed seafood pot - definitely on the pricey side, but they don't skimp out. Special mention for the presentation. Plenty of goodies including an entire lobster, half a large octopus (tenticle/arm half), snails, oysters, scallops, prawns, and fish balls among others. Basically everything without fish. Served in a large tray (the ones seen at banquet buffets), and everything cooked in broth. This was enough to probably feed 4-5 adults (assuming average appetites). So pretty. Deep fried squid with fries - honestly this dish was meh. Basically exactly what it sounds like. Squid is tempura style. Nothing special. I'd skip this one. Bossam (pork belly wraps) - served with tofu and spicy kimchi and some vegetable (kelp?) as well. They don't really give enough wraps compared to the pork slices. Decent portion size. My friends and I gobbled this up. This place also serves makgeolli (Korean rice wine) for a very reasonable price. Goes well with the food. Overall my friends and I left happy. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point to try some other dishes. Recommended.

    My wife and I were a little apprehensive about trying this restaurant, as there were no reviews on…read moreYelp, and those on Google were less-than-enthusiastic, although looking more in depth, it seems that the negative reviews were all several years old, and things seemingly had improved significantly in recent years. And while there are no shortage of seafood restaurants serving fresh crab on the Steveston waterfront, we wanted to give The Crab King a fair shake. I'm so glad that we did! My wife ordered a King Crab for herself which, after tearing it literally limb-from-limb, eventually declared it to be tied for her favorite boiled crab dish anywhere! High praise coming from such a consummate crustacean connoisseur! For myself and our son, an order of fish and chips, and the grilled chicken sandwich rounded out our order, both of which were crispy, tasty and delicious. Regarding the fish and chips, they appeared to be tempura-battered, and I'm still not 100% sure what type of fish it was. It may have been cod, but it seemed more like catfish, but either way, it was tender, juicy, flaky and delicious. No complaints here! More than anything, though, the employees here went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. Our toddler son, who is normally extremely well-behaved in restaurants, was having a bit of a fuss here and there. Without prompting, the servers brought us a little radio to play music for him, as well as a couple of toys to play with, one of them being a wind-up truck that they gave to him to take home! He loved it there, and still plays with it at home! They even played peek-a-boo with him from behind the counter, soliciting laughs and giggles, for the better part of 15 minutes! That sort of customer service is nearly impossible to find, and should be praised and cherished wherever it is found! Whatever the past may have held for this restaurant, the Crab King is an entirely new animal now, serving up fresh seafood by uncommonly wonderful employees, in a fantastic floating location. They even offer to cook spot prawns and other seafood purchased from the boats docked at the nearby waterfront marketplace, for a modest fee. With all these things going for it, there's no doubt who wears the crown of Crab King in Steveston Harbor!

    We ordered seafood salad, clam chowder and lobster roll... all the dishes were well prepared and…read moreprices were reasonable. Service is fair not fancy and the ambiance is adequate could improvement through a new renovation.

I have been a long time customer of DHOC. We love our oysters! The highlight of the dinner was to have Adam from DHOC set up am oyster bar at the party. It was the focal point of the dinner and a tremendous hit with our guests. Adam served, cooked and shucked raw oysters. They were all fantastic! I cannot say enough about how fun it was to DHOC at this party. We will definitely have them back again this summer. If you are hosting a party, add oysters to menu! They are the difference between a simple party vs. a fun culinary experience for your family and friends. Our friends are still contacting us to rave about the oyster bar! Thank you, Adam, for making this dinner extra special! We appreciate your hard work and excellent service! I wish I had pictures to share but I forgot to take them!

I appreciated being able to sample the dressing before ordering as I would not want the taste of anchovies to be too strong. The grilled sourdough bread was a nice finish to the salad. We had also ordered a side of bread and the herb butter was delicious! Hubby had the combo half basket with shrimp, oysters, and halibut and it was tasty and just the right amount. I enjoyed the kolsch and hubby the amber. We enjoyed eating outside on a warm, sunny day.
