Coquitlam’s Crispy Comfort: Hansol’s Korean

Tucked into a Lansdowne strip mall, Hansol is a no-frills Korean eatery that’s earned a cult following for one thing: crispy, juicy pork cutlets that rival Japanese tonkatsu. While the space is snug and service can be slow (just one server during peak hours!), the food delivers where it counts. 🍛 WHAT TO ORDER 1️⃣ Korean-Style Tonkatsu • Golden, shatter-crust pork cutlet—thick but not dry, with a light panko crunch. • Served with: • Sweet-savory tonkatsu sauce (ask for extra). • Shredded cabbage salad (refillable!). • Miso soup (simple but comforting). 2️⃣ Bibimbap • Stone-bowl version available: Crispy rice + colorful veggies + gochujang. Mix it like your life depends on it. 3️⃣ Yukhoe • Korean beef tartare: Fresh, sesame-oil heavy, with pear strips for sweetness. Best with soju! ⚠️ HEADS UP • Tiny space: 8 tables max—avoid weekends at noon. • Service: Solo staff means slow refills; flag them early. • Skip the kimchi: Theirs is just okay (save room for extra cabbage salad). 📍 ESSENTIALS Address: 1192 Lansdowne Dr #401, Coquitlam Hours: Mon-Sat 11:30AM–9PM (closed Sun) Price: ~$15–25 per person Parking: Free mall lot #CoquitlamEats #KoreanComfort #CrispyPorkFix
