Insadong Korean BBQ Restaurant

Food is really great. We had all you can eat. Choices has 38 and 28 dollars. Only difference is the beef ribs included on the 38 dollars. Only ice cream for dessert but no complain with the strawberry banana ice cream. Yum! Check it out

I’m giving 5stars for filling up my empty tankstomach for not eating 24hours just decided after work to find a place to eat. With my friends Rem&John who really enjoyed the foods that we ordered. No REGRETS that we’ve had INSADONG for the first time. The best Korean BBQ that I can recommend to anyone craving for Korean cuisine.Recommended dishesWings, Spicy Rice Cake, Takoyaki, Rice Cake, Salad, Bulgogi, Pork Bulgogi, Spicy Pork Bulgogi, Korean BBQ, Beef Bulgogi, Chicken Wings

I normally don't have any issues eating in here. This is the first time I was disappointed with a dish. I was curious about the Korean ramen noodles they advertised. So I ordered it. When the dish came to my table first thing I noticed it was just a bowl of instant ramen with some extra garnishes of sliced onion and carrots. Like for 9.99 I was expecting some protein such as some slices of spam and a fried egg. Instead get the typical free sides of the radish, kimchi, garlic potatoes. The dish can be worth the the price if it just added a little extra for the customer. Service is always great when I stop by for lunch or dinner. Servers always check up on you whenever they can. And the food always arrives at a reasonable time. So at the moment of you do decide to get the Korean ramen. Be sure to ask if it has anything extra with it!. It's one comfort dish that can work well if they just add bit more to it.

Very impressed on my recent visit here. Service is now faster than before! You won't have to wait too long any longer! More servers have been hired and let me tell you something, I've never had a long chat with a server until today! They always check up on you compared before and are very nice and sociable. One thing that caught my attention is their refills for your beverages are free now. Definitely an upgrade since my last visit. The cooks are a lot more generous about the amount of orders we are ordering. It's like everything is upgraded besides the place and atmosphere. Food quality is still good while parking can still be good or bad depending on the time. Overall, the best visit I've ever had in this restaurant EVER. Went from 3 stars to 5 in a matter of seconds just by fixing the biggest problem in this restaurant which is wait time. This is not a restaurant you want to miss out!

Affordable and really tasty beef ribs and fish cakes. Price is really affordable. Loved the crunchiness of the Katsu. Customer service is alright.

The food was great and the service was amazing, I loved this certain staff, Billy, he was able to play along with my night there. I was there with a couple of friends and we didn’t intentionally mean to disrupt his working, but he was kind and open to our jokes and conversations. I am definitely gonna be coming again. The pictures are before and after of having their food and spending the evening there :D

They have a variety of food to choose from. If you asked me I would suggest the eat all you can eat and they have an option of wether you guys cook your food or they can actually do it for you. They have a good service and friendly staff for us it was Caroline. They attend to all your needs and all the staff were there to assist and ask you every time.

As someone who spent a few months in Seoul and is really fond of Korean Cuisine, I can confidently say that this is as close as you can get to authentic Korean food while staying in Calgary. I have tried their Veggie Bibimbap and Tteokbokki so far and both were delicious.Recommended dishesVegetable Bibimbap

Came here with my family once and had to go back for a second time with my friends. Food was amazing, service was splendid wait time was decent and reasonable same with pricing. My servers were Celine and Sol they were so down to earth. Great place to eat at overall!

We are never going back to this place again until the owners decide to fire the very arrogant and unprofessional manager, Hala. We were two families who dined on a weekend — my own family of 4 and friends who are also a family of 4. We saw each other at the entrance and did not come together. The receptionist seated us at tables across each other. Tables were not adjoining and we requested for separate receipts. We found out we were charged an automatic 15% gratuity for being more than 6, when in fact, we were separate families of 4 each and not seated together. That is on top of giving them an additional 10%. We found this out after paying and had to go back to have the transaction corrected. The very arrogant manager, Hala, was very self-defensive at the onset. We were not even blaming anyone, to begin with. She said she was not in the wrong and instead put the blame on us by accusing us of not saying the families were not together. The fact is, they assumed we were together whereas we requested for separate bills and were not seated together. Hala instigated a very intense argument with us in front of other customers. We did emphasize that we just wanted to void the receipt to cancel the automatic 15% gratuity charged to us, and pay again with the corrected amount. Hala, in a very haughty and shameful tone, told us, "I cannot issue a refund. Can't you see, I'm busy???" Wow. Just wow. You be the judge. We have been regular customers in this establishment even before this farce of a manager started working in this restaurant. We frequent Insadong because of the quality of food and warmth of the other servers. That is, until Hala came. She does not have the right to be the face of this resto. The way she treated us after being loyal customers for many years gave us the impression we were 2nd rate citizens and unwanted customers. In a condescending tone, Hala even told my wife, "I am not arguing over $10." My wife retorted, "Exactly. Then, why don't you just refund us the $10?" With a huff and scoff, she did. But is being talked down to the way she did us really necessary??? Add to that, embarrassing us in front of other customers? It was an error made at the till which we had overlooked! But an error initiated by them, nonetheless! If there is a way the owners of this business can read this, you might want to reassess having Hala being a frontliner in your resto. She does not have the customer service skills expected of a manager. She should be away from customers to spare us from such unpleasant experience. We were big fans of this resto until this harrowing experience with Hala. We love Korean food and love the other servers who display excellent customer service skills, warmth and hospitality. Except for Hala. We would love to speak with higher management or the actual owners of this resto. We have recommended this resto to many of our friends, spent my daughter's birthday dinner here, entertained visitors, and had regular weekend lunches here after our daughter's dance class. And everything was ruined by this unfortunate experience with Hala. We aren't confrontational people, but do not hesitate to stand up for ourselves when we have reason to. Your true colors showed, Hala. Somehow, behind your fake smile and artifical tone when greeting customers, lies a bully in disguise. Customers, beware! And to the other employees in this resto, do not be afraid to stand up for yourselves when this bully tries to boss you around.
