Dong Po Restaurant

Friends had introduced me to this Korean/Chinese restaurant that they believe is the best Korean mom & pop place for good wholesome food! It was hopping busy and we ended up writing our names on a clipboard by the entrance. Our wait wasn’t too long. Lots of people were doing takeout. They offer a simple menu without a huge list of items to choose from. We ordered Combo E for $137.90 plus an order of the sweet and sour fried chicken. It’s the best value offering a sampling of this and that with tasty food and decent portions. I was impressed by their huge portions which were enough to feed over 4 people. There was enough leftovers for at least 3 more meals the following day. If you’re looking for a fancy ambience, you won’t find it here. If you’re seeking yummy food, this is it! The service was great too! There’s plenty of free parking in the lot. They’re just across the street from White Spot.

We haven’t tried their signatures like Fried Pork or chicken menus but usually come for their Yang hang pi which is cold mixed vege noodle plate with bit of meat and more. It is pretty good even to compare to other good Korean Chinese style restaurants in lower mainland. Parking here is plenty and place feels cozy. However black bean noodle sauce was bit salty to our taste.

This is my favorite Korean restaurant. My Korean best friend brought me here and said it's one of the best. He wasn't wrong The vibe is very chill, almost like you're at a family friend's house. The staff were very polite, and came to check on us every few minutes. The price of the food was in the pricier side, which was my only problem. The portion of the pork however, was huge! I am giving them a 5/5 because I asked them what their playlist was and the server took a while to find the Spotify on their device to show me. I was very touched they went out of their way for me! I am also giving them a 5/5 because this is one of the only korean restaurant to treat foreigners nice.

Food that never disappoints. We ordered the JJM, JB, and Sweet and Sour chicken set. The food is amazing as always. Jjamppong at the highest spice level is highly recommended for cold days. Jajangmyeon delicious, savoury and hearty. The fried chicken is 10/10, freshly fried, lightly battered, and very very delicious. Price: ~ CAD 15/person. This restaurant does tend to get busy as this is a very popular place for the Korean community in the area. Restaurant is extremely cosy and a great place to bring family/friends.

This restaurant provides stingy and disrespectful service and only cares about fast turnover. 1 The server tells me to write my name down and urges me to wait outside the door although there are empty tables and nobody is on the list before me. 2 There is a posted instruction asking you to finish your meal within 1 hour and they are going to charge $ 0.50 for for take-out containers. Absolutely miserly and insolent. No self-respecting person should support this business.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for almost 10 years! Even after we moved from the country, it’s always the first restaurant that we visit every time we’re in Coquitlam. My hubby LOOOOVVEESS the kkanpungki. He tried so many kkanpungki from different korean restaurants around Vancouver and said that Hee Rae Dung’s is still the best for him. - Kkanpungki: the chicken pieces were crispy and the sweet sour sauce was delicious combo of tangy, sweet and a bit spicy - Tang suyuk: the pork is crispy yet still tender. The sweet sour sauce is goood! My kid can eat this since it wasn’t spicy at all. - Jjajangmyeon: good authentic black bean noodle. The sauce has bold flavor. The noodle was good and chewy - Jam bong: hearty warm soup for Vancouver cold weather but it was a bit too spicy for me. Lots of seafood inside. The restaurant is always busy. Be prepare to wait in line or go when they’re just open for the day to avoid the line

the fried - spicy chicken was perfectly good even for take out. It was crispy We ordered extra crispy : and lots of breast meat inside with light batters. Less than $30 and this is probably three times more amount than any other single boneless chicken dish around the area, taste is good with this bonus!! I would order this chicken dish again when I am craving for KFC. The left over was cooked for today's dinner. That is the LEFT over and we added some salary :

A small, diner like, hole in the wall that just happens to serve solid heartwarming food. This is not high cuisine, this is not great staff, this is not ambiance. What this happens to be is Korean/Chinese comfort food, huge portions, good prices for Vancouver and efficient staff and pleasant food. I enjoyed the restaurant quite a bit, and will be back. Most patrons were families and large groups. Open the door, write your name down and wait outside. The system works although some may think it is a little chaotic. Order a combo meal if you have not been there before we ordered B and it was good for 4 or 5 people, they are good and give you an idea of what to expect if you want to come back. You will likely be taking food home, think about that if you are doing this at the start of your evening. The food was good, but not great. I am not an expert or even all that familiar with this cuisine, but it was filling and pleasant. The seafood soup had little seafood in it, but was tasty and I assume the draw is the noodles. The same can be said for the black bean noodles. We had the fried spicy chicken and it was nice, with orange peel, chilies and obviously not a premade commercial tub of generic sauce. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in Korean comfort food.

A good “energy restore” restaurant. Size of the dishes are HUGE and good price. Everything is so fresh. Taste is above decent, below impressive. This is a great place to get full with very low price, or “Try something new” Very recommended.

The fried sweet and sour tang su yuk chicken was only ok for me...it had more batter than meat, it was too vinegary for my taste, and the meat was kinda dry. The fried mandus and the seafood stir fried rice were good, but the rice barely had any seafood. Most dishes were on the salty side. The ladies working there are nice though, she even gave me some spicy soup...but I don't know if that was included in the rice meal LOL. Also, one thing I didn't like is the smell of the restaurant...it hits you real hard in the face once you get in, its like very overpowering vinegary smell...
