This is a great Korean food spot. Authentic Korean food and super flavorful. We got cold noodles combo which also comes with bbq pork. Pork was super tender and delicious. Also the tofu stew was not too spicy but still hit the spot. Also recommend trying their seafood pancake. Service was 10/10 and we are happy to have found this place. Highly recommend.

I went there for brunch on Sunday at 11am and I was the only one there as they had just opened; I was greeted by Mon-kyung who was super kind and friendly and welcoming. Upon being seated I was given the menu and was asked if there was anything in particular I wanted to try (she made nice recommendations for my boyfriend who wanted a meaty soup) and we ended up getting two soups (I got bone broth soup, my boyfriend got meat soup) and we shared a seafood pancake. The side dishes were absolutely amazing and it made me excited to try the food as I usually know the quality of the restaurant by their kimchi and it did not disappoint! The soups were amazing; the meat was so tender and it say in a rich and flavourful broth and the seafood pancake was absolutely delicious with the crispy edges and the soft centre and perfectly cooked green onions and seafood mix. Overall the experience was very pleasant and I asked her if they did bbq and she said not on the tables they do it themselves in the kitchen and bring it out cooked but as I was leaving she told me they will start doing table bbq starting next week so I will definitely be coming back and I look forward to trying their bbq!

Have always passed by Parsons Road and wanted to try this Korean restaurant. We came on Victoria Day and it was quite busy. Came with two friends and we ordered a pork knuckle (Jokbal), LA Galbi and cold buckwheat noodles combo, and a tteok dumpling soup. Food was delicious, portion is generous and serving speed was fast. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends!

Best spicy buckwheat cold noodle I've had with the LA Galbi combo. My girlfriend ordered the #6 with the oxtail and the taste was very clean and flavourful. Sides were delishes as well, will come again. The lady serving is was very nice as well.

This is just the authentic Korean restaurant you will wish to find in Canada - Galbitang is super delicious and authentic, and the seafood pancake is a must, fluffy, full of ingredients and flavours. The side dishes are so good too. We will always come back whenever we visit Edmonton for sure! A gem of Korean food in the Prairies!

We ordered a few dishes, including Special Seolleongtang, a Korean soup made from beef bones cooked for over 40 hours. The broth was milky and not greasy, with a mild flavor. It included a generous portion of beef slices, tripe, Korean noodles, and was topped with green onions. Additionally, it came with a small bowl of rice mixed with purple rice. The dish came with several types of banchan (Korean side dishes), including spicy radish, fresh kimchi, zucchini and Korean fishcake. Some were slightly sweet and spicy, while others had savory flavor. We also ordered Seafood Korean Pancake, filled with shrimp, squid, green onions and carrots. It was freshly made to order, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and came with a dipping sauce that had a nice balance of spiciness and vinegar. For our next dish, we had Bulgogi and Cold Buckwheat Noodle with spicy sauce combo. The Bulgogi featured plenty of beef, along with cabbage, carrots and green onions, offering a sweet and slightly savory taste. The cold noodles were topped with egg, cucumber, radish and sesame seeds, served in a special cold broth. We mixed them with the Korean spicy sauce before eating, and the staff even provided scissors to cut the long noodles for easier eating, which was very thoughtful. Overall, the taste of the food was great, especially the banchan. The staff explained each dish as it was served and were attentive to our needs during the meal. Their service was excellent.

Our new favourite Korean restaurant. The food is great. We ordered our regular Korean dishes, they were excellent. We loved their side dishes too, always so fresh and tasty. Their rice is not the traditional white rice in other Korean restaurants, they serve with healthy choice of rice. They are busy during the weekends and Friday evening, usually two servers. It would be better if they have one extra server. For our last 3 visits, we needed to wait for a while before we could get the server’s attention for water refill, tea refill, napkins. They were a busy.

So glad we found this gem in Edmonton this spring break! The restaurant is only a year and half old, feels like we need to support small business, especially at this difficult time. The food was so delicious, not greasy at all. The homemade kimchi is by far the best we had. Too bad we can’t bring some home. Highly recommend!!!
