“ As a Busan native, I can confidently say this is the most authentic 국밥 (gukbap) in Canada. The rich, hearty soup and tender meat remind me of home. If you're craving real Korean soul food, this is the place. Can't believe I found such legitimate Busan-style gukbap here in Calgary. ”
“ It was my first time to visit Busan for Korean food. I wished I knew about this place sooner. Actually a Korean friend recommended this restaurant to me. I was lucky to try it before I go back to Toronto. The Korean food was authentic and very yummy. There was a great selection of famous Korean dishes on their menu. Everything was served fresh and hot. Although it was quite pricey, but the food quality, portion and service was good. It is a suitable restaurant for dinner gathering with family and friends. The couches/ sofa seats were very comfy. They were really busy during dinner time, so it is better to make a reservation in advance to avoid long waiting time and disappointment from walk in. Please note that if you have a group of 6 people or more (including kids), they will charge you 15% gratuity but it was worth it because our overall dining experience was wonderful. Btw, there is 1.5hrs free parking at the plaza where the restaurant is located. Just remember to scan the QR code on the sign there and register your license plate once you parked your car. ”
“ Love this place. Excellent food. Most orders come with free side dishes and those are almost a meal by themselves! Crazy variety and value too. The service is great too. Very warm and welcoming servers that are very attentive. ”
“ It’s so amazing! I never seen Seon Ji soup in Vancouver ! Of course taste is assume and side dish is super delicious. I hope this restaurant will open in Vancouver ! Please ”
“ The Army stew was delicious. I really liked the pajeon too, the right amount of crispy. Japchae was yummy and springy with the noodles. Definitely want to come back here to try the rest of the menu. ”
