Coquitlam Food Guide: Korean BBQ, Soy Marinated Crab, Blood Sausage

If you're in Vancouver craving authentic Korean food, make the trip to Lougheed in Coquitlam—it's so worth it! (Though be warned, it’s about a 40-minute drive from Richmond.) 📍 Jejudo is located in Korea Town, surrounded by Korean supermarkets, restaurants, dessert spots, and food trucks—perfect for a foodie adventure! 🔥 What to Order at Jejudo 1️⃣ Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Crab (Ganjang Gejang) 🦀 🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Silky, sweet, and zero fishy taste! • The crab meat is so tender it slides right out with a gentle suck. • Pro tip: Mix the roe with rice for the ultimate Korean-style crab bibimbap! 2️⃣ Beef Combo Platter (For BBQ) 🥩 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Super fresh cuts—you can tell just by the color! • Comes with unlimited banchan (side dishes)—because who doesn’t love free refills? 😋 • Bonus: They also give you a mini foil cup of cheesy corn with your BBQ! 3️⃣ Pork Skin & Intestines Set (Sold Out 😢) • Get there early—this one sells out fast! 4️⃣ Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew) + Stone Pot Rice • The stew was delicious but portion was tiny (maybe they were running low?). • The stone pot rice had a perfect crispy bottom layer—so good! 🍽️ Overall Experience ✅ Authentic flavors, great for Korean food lovers. ✅ BBQ is a must—meat quality is top-notch. ✅ Side dishes are unlimited (and amazing). ⚠️ Heads Up: • The marinated crab is LIMITED! Call ahead if you’re going just for this. • Pork intestine/BBQ sets sell out fast—come early! 🍡 After-Meal Snacks & Desserts 1. Hoho Walnut Cake & Mini Taiyaki (📍329 North Rd) • Only open Fri-Sun! Don’t miss their walnut cakes & fish-shaped pastries. 2. Bukchigo Jangguchigo (Blood Sausage & Intestines Takeout) • First time trying blood sausage? It’s like Korean-style rice sausage—mild and tasty! • Beef intestines were decent, but BBQ-style is better (these were pre-cooked and lost some texture). 3. Hidden Gem: A sugar pancake (Hotteok) food truck downstairs—super oily but SO GOOD. 📍 Locations 🍖 Jejudo (Korean BBQ & Seafood) 4501 North Rd, Burnaby, BC V3N 4R7 🐟 Hoho Walnut Cake & Mini Taiyaki 329 North Rd, Coquitlam, BC V3K 3V8 🧆 Bukchigo Jangguchigo (Blood Sausage & Intestines) 341 North Rd, Coquitlam, BC V3K 3V8 #VancouverFoodie #CoquitlamEats #KoreanBBQ #MustTry #FoodieAdventure #VancouverLife
