Found this spot during lunch on a weekday when craving Korean bulgogi in Metrotown area. I was…read morepleasantly surprised to discover that Soju is quite spacious inside and that it actually has a cozy ambiance for happy hour drinks. Service was pretty quick when I visited, wasn't too busy with about three other tables of diners. Food-wise: their prices and portions are quite reasonable but I have yet to discover my favorite menu item or their best dishes as taste for bulgogi was just okay. Overall, their weekday lunch special is good value. Though their food on my first visit wasn't especially memorable, their spacious interior + modern ambience + efficient service + good value and free parking brings them up from 3.5 stars to a 4 stars rating since this is a place I would definitely consider visiting again to try other dishes. And I am hopeful about finding items to my liking because they offer a fairly diverse food and drinks menu.

We LOVED that this spot serves good food with even greater deals!!…read more This Korean spot is underneath Sushi Oyama (the restaurant that looks like a house) on Kingsway and there's typically parking in the lot or on the street. It's simply decorated with Soju bottles or posters of Korean pop stars or actors. Love the casual and laid back vibe! There is a bell on the table if you need attention from the servers, and they are usually pretty efficient and fast when it is rung. We saw that there was a $9.99 combo deal and everyone at our table was shocked. We all ordered that. The combo comes with your choice of a noodle dish (Jajangmyeon or Black Bean noodles, Korean udon, or Spicy Cold noodles) and a Beef Bulgogi on the side. I ordered the Jajangmyeon with the Beef Bulgogi and it was great! I enjoyed the nice chew from the noodles and the Black Bean sauce was flavoured well. I was pleased to find chunks of pork in the noodles also. The Beef Bulgogi was a little watery, but tasted sweet and tender. All that food for $9.99. That's unheard of in this economy and in these times! Amazing. We'll definitely return as we saw other great deals on the menu also!

I dont really like jambong, so I'm super glad 88 noodle house lets you choose 2 jjajangmyeon! Perfect combo. For the meat dish, you can get tangsuyuk or gganpunggi. We chose the gganpunggi (sweet chili chicken). Jjajangmyeon was ok. Nothing too special about it. Good portions. The gganpunggi was also a good portion! However, I found that it was mostly batter, and since they use a mix of tapioca starch and other as breading, it gets jello-y when not completely cooked. The flavor was really good, but I was disappointed with the batter to chicken ratio. I will continue my search for this type of combo!

We always get the black bean noodles. Flavour is consistent, tasty, and it comes out quick and hot from the kitchen. We rotate between the sweet chili chicken and the sweet and sour pork. This time we got the sweet chili chicken. Flavour is good and comes piping hot and crispy. However, I did find the breading a bit heavy and there is a lot of fat in the layers. Same goes for the sweet and sour pork. I love their coating and the flavour is great, but sometimes I just get a coated piece of fat which is a bit off-putting. We also like the japchae, but find it has a bit too much onion for us. Ok cold nights we like to get the 88 noodle soup. Hot, peppery, slightly spicy. Goes well with the pickles they give you. Service is always quick and polite. No issues there. And the seating is spacious with lots of booth seating.

This is my third time coming to DooBoo. I was introduced to this place by my Korean friend. I have…read morenever had soft tofu soup before. But this has become my absolute favorite. I often crave sundubu and DooBoo comes to my rescue. The soup is perfectly spiced. The medium can be quite spicy, so go for mild and add gochujang if you need to up the spice level. The service is prompt and nice - no fuss! I have also tried their japchae. While it's pretty good, it's a tad bit on the expensive side. Their pancakes are pretty delectable too. I like their stone bibimbab. It is pretty good in taste with great quantity for the price.

We also got prime grade beef short ribs, marinated short ribs, and brisket point. I would say this can easily be shared by 4 people because it's a lot of food! We ate all the meat but had a lot of the soup and rice left. It was $140 for all of that which when split is pretty good! My favourite was their brisket point. Their soup was also veryyy comforting!! My other two friends got their glass noodles and Korean pancakes. The glass noodles were delicious!! Very flavourful. The pancakes I thought were a little too oily. I would definitely come back! The service was fast but I thought it was very strange that they wouldn't provide more than 2 takeout boxes for a table of 5.

Probably wouldn't come back, but it might be fine if you're new to Korean food.

I had the potato hot dog which is small cubes of potatoes dotting the crust/dough wrapped around the hot dog before deep frying it. It was so good! I had the recommended sauces of spicy Mayo, sweet chili sauce and something else on it. Half the hot dog was also sprinkled with sugar. You get a sweet, spicy and salty flavorful bite. I also tried the Mack and cheese bites with wasabi Mayo on the side. The Mac and cheese bites were super delicious. The wasabi Mayo didn't go well with it. I think I'll try other sauces in future. The packaging is great and there is a vent to prevent condensation. Still best to eat it asap. I'll come back to try other versions of the hot dog. It is great as snacks.
