I came here on Valentine’s Day. I stumbled upon it just by looking up what was near me, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was very busy and popular—it was a Friday. However, we didn’t wait very long. We were seated within 5-10min, and between ordering and getting the food, it took no more than 15min. Waitresses were really friendly and checked in on us. The food was 10/10. Pork belly was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The soy garlic chicken was also very enjoyable, however the miso soup that came with the pork belly was my favourite of the night. They have a lot of options for alcohol, including green grape soju. Very refreshing. The staff working that day, deserve the highest appreciation for their amazing service and perfect food, especially on a busy and stressful day like Valentine’s Day. Between two people it was 85 ( not including tip), however for the quality of food it was worth it. There are cheaper options, and the servings are quite big.

First time here, we saw this place on Yelp and decided to try. The server was friendly and efficient. We ordered half and half chicken and Coke Zero. Food came out quickly and delicious. Great experience. We will come back again :)

I rarely come to Robson street for a meal because parking is both troublesome and expensive. However, I saw on Instagram that this place launched a special lunch set, which looked generous and reasonably priced. So, today , I made a special trip to try it out. Since I arrived at 11:50, there were only a few people in the restaurant. The interior design was modern, with plenty of seating, and the seats were quite comfortable. I ordered the bbq pork lunch set. While I was waiting, more and more people started arriving, and soon the entire restaurant was full. There were only three staff members, and I could see them constantly rushing around delivering orders. When my bbq pork set arrived, the bowl of white rice immediately whetted my appetite. The toppings were arranged in four different colors of vegetables, making the presentation very appealing. The side dishes were incredibly varied, including items I hadn’t seen in other Korean restaurants—quail eggs, pickled onions, and spicy garlic sprouts. The pork had a great texture and was cooked just right, though I found it a bit too sweet for me.The kimchi was fresh and delicious but also leaned towards the sweeter side. The other meat and side dishes were all excellent. The portions were generous, so I ended up packing half of it to go. However, It took me more than ten minutes to find a staff member who was available to help me pay because everyone was busy serving customers. All in all, the price and quality were excellent, especially for a restaurant in the city center. Highly recommended

A solid choice for delicious Korean Fried Chicken downtown! This place always fills up fast and for a good reason. Fresh and tasty kfc, good selection of traditional Korean food and friendly service. Highly recommend this restaurant and their other locations.

Last time when my friend was in town for a short visit, we went to eat here and it was so nice. The chicken was so good and pork belly set was yummy. The servers were also super nice. 10/10

I work downtown and keep coming back for their lunch specials 19-23. The portions are huge and it comes in a nice set with rice, soup, and many little side dishes. I always bring some home, so I basically get 2 meals out of each visit. Everything tastes good. I prefer the eel, but the short ribs are good too.

Tried their Dogani - Tang and Selleong - Tang from the Soul Food category. Both 2 beef soups were tasty, Rice was hot and tender. Ingredients were fresh. The small dishes were not bad. Service was attentive. Although this is not the best Korean restaurant I've tried in Vancouver, yet with the price I paid, I was still very satisfied as a whole. Recommended.

Kosoo Korean BBQ on Robson Street I recently dined at Kosoo Korean BBQ on Robson Street, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a modern and trendy atmosphere, perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion. The interior is stylish and comfortable, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Food: The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of traditional and modern Korean dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Korean fried chicken, which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The BBQ options are also fantastic, with high-quality meats that are cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, so it’s great for sharing. Service: The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. Value: While the prices are on the higher side, the portion sizes and quality of the food make it worth it. It’s a good value, especially considering the prime location on Robson Street. Overall, Kosoo Korean BBQ on Robson Street is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Korean cuisine in a vibrant and welcoming setting. I highly recommend it!
