Fantastic traditional Korean cuisine. Their meal combo are extremely filling, and comes with a lot of side dishes, as well as whole tub of soup! About $20, enough to warm you through an entire night, or just send you straight into food coma.Albeit their kimbap is on the unreasonable pricier end.Have yet to have the pleasure to visit them in person.

My first review was not showing for unknown reason. But I will say it here again:The worst Korean restaurant in Ottawa! It's a total mess!!! My friends and I were standing at the door for 30+ mins and no waiter even said hello to us! You can not believe that, but half of the seats were vacant. The waiters just purposely ignored the customers and they were just so un-organized to even prepare a table. There were like 20 people waiting (including us) and all of us ended up leaving because no body wanted to greet you.What was even worse was the owners attitude! When he was asked about when can we get a table. The owner responded: ‘THE DOOR IS OVER THERE, and YOU CAN LEAVE IF YOU WANT ’. It was the most unprofessional, rude and arrogant response a restaurant can give to its customers. All the 20 people left after hearing this response from the owner.Don’t come here. Don't come here.

Been a regular for a long time. And I am posting this after my last 3 experiences were horrible. I was expecting this disaster service would be temporary. I dont know what the owner is thinking but im pretty sure this restaurant has the worst service in Ottawa right now. Especially with the guy server. I was always polite with you but you were extremely rude to me and other customers. I understand it's busy but it's not a reason to treat customers like you do.

This place was definitely one of the better Korean restaurants in Ottawa before the renovations. The dishes are very hit or miss now though. We came for naengmyeon and jajangmyeon but the entire noodles section of the menu was unavailable.Instead we settled for the dishes pictured. The kimchi pancakes and the seafood stew were both delicious. We did not enjoy the tteokbokki or the bulgogi though. The tteokbokki sauce was watered down and the bulgogi was dry and tough.We were greeted with the server shaking his head and signaling “❌” with his arms which was very off-putting. He then clarified that if we chose to order food, it would be an hour wait. It was a Monday evening and only half of the restaurant was as full, so we were quite confused. The food took half an hour to come out but the service was a bit inattentive… They forgot to bring us out our kimbap till the very end.

Ordered the kalbi special set and bulgogi special set. The portion was ok, especially with the soup.The reason for the 2 star is because the meat was sooooo dry. Everything was almost cardboard-esque. The bulgogi was pretty thick and very dry. The kalbi has good smoky flavour but was super dry.The soup was pretty good but very spicy so if you can't handle spicy food, I don't recommend it.

The food is so-soThe rice cakes were overcooked and the entree was oily and too saltyThe service is also not good. There are always dirty dishes on the tables around you. It really kills the atmosphere staring at other peoples’ half-eaten food.We stayed for an hour, and all those dishes were there the entire time.

Sweet and sour pork more like sweet and sour dough! YUCK! The tang soo yook is just fried dough. Every piece is only 10% pork or no pork at all. I would not come back here. I only came here because there was a long line at Alirang. Big mistake.

Excellent food on the a la carte side. The quality is higher than the all you can eat food. Really enjoy the spicy kimchi soup. The all you can eat is also good but there are better places.Overall mine an my wife’s go to Korean place in Ottawa. We tried many but this place is excellent.

Says it closes at 9pm, arrived at 8 and they said they are closed. There were plenty of tables empty too. Seems like the staff just wanted to leave at 9 on the dot. Never coming again.Food at Alirang across the street is also a lot better.
