    Low frills interior
    Alea A.

    Really wanted to love...but didn't. The Asian auntie who both cashiers and serves was such a sweet woman. Very attentive and warm to our table. Offered additional bon chon throughout our meal. The food was subpar. My garlic shrimp was doused in so much butter that my stomach didn't agree with all the fat post-meal. I'm not the biggest fan of kimchi or side salads but everyone at the table was in agreement that the taste was just meh. The side salad was not a mac salad but some sort of corn concoction? Nothing I've ever had before. Low frills restaurant, kind service, just ok eats.

    Korean Chili Chicken, with kimchi and corn salad over white rice
    Travis W.

    Young's Korean BBQ exists in the same spot that Kim's formerly did, in the parking lot of Safeway on 112th. I ordered the Korean Chili Chicken to go. It comes with rice, your choice of pickled vegetables or kimchi, and a corn salad. It costs about 15.95. Upon opening my to-go container at home, the portions of chicken and rice are ample. There was a nice portion of kimchi and of the corn salad. I tried the corn salad first. The salad is a style of con saelreodeu, a sweet corn and mayo based salad with onions and some peppers. It had a nice crunch to the vegetables and corn, and was sweet like would be expected. I found it a bit too sweet for my taste, but it wasn't candy sweet or anything. Next for the chicken. I asked if it was like a buldak and she said that no, it was her own recipe and a different dish. The chicken (dark meat) was well fried and had a sticky and shiny coating, and looked very nice (see image). It was on a bed of short/medium grain rice that had a nice sticky quality to it as well. Biting into the meat, I found the chicken incredibly juicy with a very sweet flavor profile. Here's where I'm a bit sad to say that it was not as I'd hope. The flavor profile was rather one note (sweet) and I got almost no spice to it. It also didn't taste strongly of anything else, so if you had asked me I don't know I would have said it was Korean chicken vs like, the more American Chinese food coated chicken you can find in a lot of places. The rice did absorb the sauce, which again was very sweet. The star of the show, ironically, was the kimchi. It was crunchy and pungent, with some spice and a nice well rounded fermented flavor that was delicious over the rice. Honestly, I would have happily had that and a bowl of rice and called it a day.

    Chilli Chicken and veggies

    I ordered the chilli chicken and a Dr. Pepper food was okish nothing special 1 star. I absolutely hate leaving hungry, the portion size was way too small. It reminded me a of lunch special worth $8. Service was ok nothing special. The ambiance was basic but very clean so I added 1 star. I'll never go back not worth my $20

    First time in and great experience Friendly family-run business. Good for dine in or quick takeout. Attentive service too! Ordered the BBQ Kalbi, Chili Chicken, and BBQ Spicy pork amongst three people to try out these three for the first time! Yummm. My fav was the Spicy Pork

    Order the spicy pork & kalbi short ribs combo and thank me later!! And if you come extremely hungry, get the spaghetti as an appetizer! Lovely owner, delicious food, and clean space -- cant get any better! Truly a hidden gem in Vancouver

    The food was delicious. I dont know what was in that corn salad but it was in incredible. The staff were even better. Very kind people. Will definitely be back. Restaurant was super clean :)

    BBQ Spicy Pork is so good! Very nice family business with delicious Korean food and great service. I'm glad I work nearby!

    Chicken Curry, corn salad, pickled veggies

    Because of the great reviews we stopped at Youngs Kitchen this afternoon. Except for someone picking up a to go order we were the only ones in there. The owner was helpful and so friendly. I ordered the chicken bbq with corn salad and pickled cucumbers. The chicken was favorable and cooked perfectly. If I had one suggestion it might be a little sauce to blend with the rice. I enjoyed the corn salad. Never had anything like it before. My husband had the chicken curry with the same sides. He thought it was good and would order it again. He also liked the corn salad. The portions were very generous. We definitely will be back.

    Clean, bright and welcoming!!

    The kalbi was tasty. And their pickles and kimchi were also good. It's the only thing we've eaten there.

    Great place to get barbecue. We got the platter with all the meats. The ribs were juicy and tender…read more The pulled pork was yummy. They make their own sausage. It had a kick to it. The brisket was a little dry but good pieces. I like the fatty kind. The atmosphere was a happy place. They had a great bar with all kinds of bourbon. Our server was very busy and tried to please everyone. I am going back there definitely for the ribs.

    Took a coworker out for lunch and found this place through Yelp. We arrived shortly after opening,…read moreso the restaurant was quiet and the staff was very friendly and attentive. My biggest disappointment was finding out that the two items that caught my attention on Yelp--the brisket mac and cheese and the tacos--were only available during happy hour. I even offered to pay the regular menu price for either item, but was told I'd have to come back during happy hour if I wanted to order them. Instead, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. The pulled pork sandwich was decent, but the flavor felt a little flat and could have used more seasoning. I was also surprised there wasn't any salt and pepper on the table, so if that's something you like, be sure to ask for it. Overall, the food was good and the service was good. While I enjoyed the experience, it's probably not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again, though I'd stop in if I was already in the area.

We put our order in at the counter and had our sandwiches about 7 minutes later. Pretty quick for all the work he had to do. I had the Santa Maria. It was a nice tri-tip with garlic butter.

I…read moreordered the two meats/two sides dinner, choosing brisket and pulled pork with potato salad and coleslaw. The meats were great, the coleslaw was fantastic, but the potato salad was uninspiring. Brisket had a great bark on it but was very moist inside with an excellent smoky flavor. The pulled pork was amazing as well but could have had a little more care getting the chunks of fat out. They had plenty of sauces available--they bring you a basket with four different flavors in extra large bottles. Apply liberally! I loved the horseradish in their coleslaw. I've never seen that done before but it's my new favorite. I'll definitely be trying to replicate that at home. My biggest disappointment was the potato salad. It seemed like it was just scooped from a Reser's tub. Maybe not, I don't know if they make it in house, but that's what it reminded me of. I'm giving four stars instead of five because despite being the only person in the restaurant, it wasn't very clean. I had to wipe down my table and there was a big chunk of brisket lying on the floor. I was also pretty unimpressed with the constant foul language coming from the kitchen staff. I realize I'm in the minority on this but I still believe in keeping the atmosphere of a public place professional and family appropriate. So, all in all, top-notch food with one star off for cleanliness and atmosphere. I would definitely pick up here again but might not eat in, depending on the situation. If you enjoy bbq, give it a try!
