Coquitlam’s Ultimate Beef Lover’s Paradise: Kang’s Kitchen
For those who dream of fall-off-the-bone beef ribs, hand-pulled noodles, and spicy Korean stews, Kang’s Kitchen in Coquitlam is a must-visit. This unassuming spot has become my go-to for comfort food that hits every craving—whether it’s a chilly Vancouver day or just a meaty indulgence. 🍖 MUST-TRY DISHES 1️⃣ Braised Beef Rib Noodle Soup • Handmade thick noodles—chewy, fresh, and perfect for slurping. • Beef ribs so tender, they require scissors (not knives!). • Broth simmered for 10+ hours—rich, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting. 2️⃣ Spicy Stir-Fried Squid • Fresh squid with a crisp bite, coated in a savory-spicy sauce with hidden anchovy umami. • Pro Tip: Save the sauce and toss in udon noodles for round two! 3️⃣ Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs (갈비찜) • Meat that slides off the bone—marinated in a sweet-savory glaze. • Bonus: The braised radish underneath is even better than the beef (seriously). 4️⃣ House-Made Drinks • Ginger Jujube Tea : Warm, soothing, and free refills. • Sikhye (식혜): Sweet rice drink—perfect palate cleanser. • Yuzu Sparkler: Tart, fizzy, and ideal for cooling down spicy bites. 🔥 INSIDER TIPS ✅ Noodles sell out by mid-afternoon—come before 2 PM! ✅ Spice levels 1–5: Start at Level 2 if you’re not a heat warrior. ✅ Best for groups: Share the beef ribs + squid + stew for the ultimate feast. 📍 ESSENTIALS Address: 329 North Rd #240, Coquitlam Hours: 11:30 AM–10 PM daily Price: ~$15–30 per person (portions are huge) Parking: Free lot available #VancouverEats #MeatLovers #KoreanComfortFood
