Kook Korean BBQ

The meal here was so good! We did the dinner for 4 here and it was awesome. The meats are well. Prepared and the atmosphere is defs loud and alive! It's a place to go for good eats and a fun time with your friends and family. We split the bills so it made it even more affordable! It's a very busy spot so expect a wait. We waited for 1hour when we got there around 730pm on a Friday night. But in my opinion it was worth it! Staff are friendly and the table are sanitized well.

Korean BBQ combo C. Way more food than we expected, 6 people barely finished all the food. The entrance staff wasn’t too friendly but the other staff who served us for the rest of the night were all friendly and provided great service. Love the different side dishes you get here and they still have refill for side dishes. The place does get very busy so make sure you have reservation. Would definitely love to come back again for family dinner.

Local Korean barbecue restaurant is located in this is the East 1st Ave Plaza on second floor. It has plenty of parking. I would highly recommend to make a reservation online or over the phone so you won't be needing to wait in line if it is busy. Large amount of selection in appetizers. there was 3 sauce for you to dip if you order the barbecue meat. The Seafood pancake is smaller than most Korean restaurant I have been to but it still taste good. Not sure what is the standard of the service here. In some Korean restaurants, the staff would actually assist the customers barbecue the food instead of cooking it ourselves. As I see most of the customer cook it themselves so I expect that would not happen; however, the table next to us did not cook it for themselves and the restaurant staff actually help them to finish cooking all the barbecue Meats.

The staff was really friendly and explanatory about the different menu items. They’re known for the 15 side dishes, there’s so many options. They have normal and premium meat for barbecue. You can’t reserve for less than 4 people, so make sure you don’t go at peak times without reservation, it’s a busy restaurant. Food tasted amazing and very very fulfilling. All the meat comes with 15 sides and a rice bowl. There was complimentary cinnamon dessert drink which helps lighten all the food you ate. Super happy with the experience, would definitely go again!!

5 stars all around for this spot! One of the best Korean BBQ restaurants I’ve been to and that’s saying a lot. There are plenty of options in town that we’ve tried but Kook takes the lead on menu options, amazing service and the BBQ grill fan and vacuum system. I expected to wake up stinking like bbq but no smoke escaped the table - it was great. The beef, pork and chicken options for dinner were spot on and generous portions. We had their dinner for 6 option and left feeling very full and smiling! We also tried their Korean pancake which was decent but not a huge amount of seafood in it. My advice is to stick with the grilled meats. I can’t wait to return.

If you're looking for good quality food and service that never disappoints, you've found it! We've eaten at Kook dozens of times now. Each time tastes as good as the first. They give a whole bunch of side dishes that not only look amazing, they taste amazing as well. The beef combos are our go-to. The meat, regardless of the cut, is always tender and mouthwatering. I would definitely recommend ordering beef over the pork. Service is friendly and quick. The staff are very knowledgeable when it comes to food recommendations, and they are so welcoming. The only downside is there can be a wait during busy hours, but that's with all popular restaurants. Call ahead and book a reservation, though I believe they only take reservations for 4+ people? We recommend Kook to all our friends that come to Vancouver :

Every meal comes with 15 side dishes combo meals or basically if you order enough items!! Side dishes have unlimited refills - although we didn’t need more than one refill ourselves. We went on a Friday night so it felt a bit busy - slightly longer wait for service. Somehow the waiter forgot the napkin I asked for. The ambience is really nice here - great for gathering with friends / family and having a fun meal. Also, not a huge deal, but the lettuce dish had a dead bug on the very top piece when we first got it - all other pieces were fine. We just threw that bit out and asked for more when we ran out free refills.

This place is very busy. We came with a party of 6 4 adults + 2 toddlers and ordered the 4 person combo. The food was delicious. One of the better Korean BBQ places in Vancouver. The meat was great quality and the selection of endless banchan equally as impressive. We will definitely be back.Food: 5/5

We went for one of their combination sets, the meats were well marinated and as a result, tasted really good and the amount was perfect for our group. Quite surprised at how soft the chicken was after cooking, sometimes the chicken at kbbq places are dry but not here. The marinated short ribs were probably my highlight. Staff were attentive with grill changes and side dishes, had a great evening with friends here.

Best korean BBQ I’ve had in Vancouver! They give you a lot of side dishes and each one is really good so there’s something for everyone. Really good service and I didn’t have to book or anything as I went quite early. I’ve been told wait times can be long during the weekend but I think it would be worth the wait. Drinks were good and the atmosphere is great for a date!
