The exterior of the building appears that it is situated in an old house, which definitely adds to the charm. The staff greeted me an led me to a table on the upper floor. Immediately, I noticed that most parties in here were large and the portions were family style. Definitely something that I wish I had brought friends to and not just come in as a solo diner. However, the staff did not make me feel weird about this at all. I ordered a Lychee Time cocktail and a Rose Rice Cake curry. They brought out an included kimchee plate, which was certainly enough for 4 people. The Rose Rice Cake dish was the same, enough for 2-4 people to share. Both the kimchi and the curry were amazing, I enjoyed both immesely. My only complaint was that my drink was far too sweet, I had to water it down to finish it. When it came time for my inevitable leftovers, the staff had great suggestions for reheating and I was even able to purchase udon to go for the leftovers. Amazing homey experience that I would recommend to anyone in town (preferably with friends!).

While visiting Calgary for work, I had a mad hankering for some Korean food. My meetings got out a…read morebit late so I looked up late night Korean food spots and found Namsan... which was a 26 minute walk from my hotel one way. My craving must have been intense because I didn't even think about it and started my long walk there. The layout of the restaurant is interesting. The bathroom is in the basement, the first floor is a bit small but has some tables, and the second floor has most of the dining area space. Interior decoration was pretty minimal but there was kpop playing and it was a bit dark in there so if you're looking to get a few drinks and Korean food with some friends, this would be a great spot. When I was sat at my table and I looked through the menu, the first thing that popped in my head was that they had quite an extensive menu. From army stew, bibimbap, bulgogi, and what I decided to get Dakgalbi (marinated chicken bbq). The Dakgalbi was really good and marinated well. I wasn't expecting the fried rice at the end to come with it like in Korea which was also really good. The only critique I have regarding the food is that there weren't that many side dishes (banchan) and the lettuce on the side was an extra $5. Service was on point. Thu and the woman server, I forgot her name, worked well as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of even though they had to walk up and down those stairs probably 10+ times just when I was there.

Service was good and several water jugs were brought to the table. - Banchan - kimchi, sliced potato, mung bean sprouts, daikon, fish cake, hot dog and pickled onion. Nothing memorable. - Soon doo boo jjigae (#63) ($15.50) - soft tofu stew was the blandest I've had. No depth or complexity. - Gahm jah tang (#65) ($16.50) - pork bone stew was also bland and disappointing. - Bulgogi bibimbop (#25) ($16.00) - rice didn't get crispy. Decent enough but standard fare. - LA galbi (#54) ($26.50) - several pieces were quite fatty. Okay but have had better. Kor wouldn't be on my return list.

The bulgogi was delicious, and not too sweet. It even comes with side dishes, which you can ask the staff to refill. Chicken fried rice tasted very buttery, not my favorite to be honest. The fried chicken was great! We got half and half since half the family likes spicy, the other half doesn't so it was perfect. The chicken was really juicy and there was a lot of meat. Really clean, open space. The staff members were very attentive, excellent service!

The bowl was gorgeous and good value- my meal was well under $20 and was alone in the dining room at around 5pm on a holiday Monday and the room is clean with good K-pop at a reasonable volume- very comfortable! I'm giving them 5 star because service was exceptionally excellent, friendly and knowledgable, and I had a nice chat with the staff (2 Korean men and one Japanese woman) and I felt so welcome.

The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.

There restaurant is split into two section - the ground floor which has the kbbq and the rooftop (oktop) which has some additional menu items. Both sections were nicely decorated and prepared with side dishes ready at the table upon entering. We ordered the kongbul which was served with broth, and it was the perfect amount for the 2 of us. Although the kongbul was delicious on its own, the highlight of the meal were actually the side dishes - they were some of the tastiest side dishes I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. Each was full of flavour and fresh, and tasted home-cooked. Our server was friendly and attentive and was quick to refill our side-dishes and waters. One of the servers also gave us some japchae (as service) which was such a pleasant surprise and was soo tasty! Fingers crossed Korilla will expand to Toronto!

It is quite a large space and can handle large groups. We had a regular table but saw that you could have your own room that had sliding door for privacy. Our table also had a burner so you can cook your own food if you want. We opted for the restaurant to cook. Everything had large portions as you can tell from the photos. We ordered the Daeji Mori Gukbab, Donkatsu, and LA Galbi. Everything was well prepared, flavourful and delicious. LA Galbi is one of my favourites and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and friendly. Each table had a button which would call someone to come to your table. This was nice as whenever you needed someone you can press the button. No need to wait to flag someone down. It wasn't particularly busy this day but I could see where this would come in handy. We definitely, will try and come back again.

The young woman waiting on our table did a good job answering questions and was quick to refill the banchan plates. There were four of us. We ordered loads of dishes and they were all very good. This is not gourmet K food. It does not put on airs. It was pretty much Korean home cooking scaled up for a restaurant. One recommendation for the owner: some sort of dessert would be a good addition to the menu, even if it's only ice cream. Yakgwa (honey cookies) with vanilla ice cream would be even better.
