Kosoo Korean BBQ - Coquitlam Location — Restaurant in Coquitlam

Korean on Korean?

I was in the Coquitlam area and a casual Korean friend recommended this place to me for some Korean BBQ. I have heard of this name before in the Vancouver area but never been to any of its locations.

This place is located on the corner of Westwood Street and Lincoln Avenue in Coquitlam. The directions indicated for parking were a bit confusing so I just ended up parking on the street.

Inside the restaurant was quite spacious and well ventilated. Pretty standard and typical Korean bbq style layout, but overall clean and comfy.

Here was the food I ordered as the server looked at me as if I had a booga hanging out of my nose….

Deep fried sea eel. I didn’t realized how big the portion was until it arrived. It’s almost a dinner just by itself. Taste wise it was okay but I found it a bit dry. (Yes size does matter sometimes lol) Hot stone bowl rice (added veggies +$2). It was more like hot metal bowl rice lol. Nice and healthy. Beef intestines BBQ. I don’t know why I even ordered this, I normally don’t even eat it (silly me). It was okay, the intestine taste was quite strong, maybe rub and rinse it with salt more to lessen the strong taste would be nice. Kosoo Combo C (beef short ribs, marinated beef short ribs, marinated pork galbi, butter mushrooms, kimchi pancake, soft tofu soap). All the meats were fresh, tasty and tender. The kimchi pancake was a bit thin resulting in being too crispy to my liking. The tofu soup was more like a stew, too much ingredients too little soup. Overall, great value for the food and it’s actually a lot more than I thought. With all the crazy side dishes (10 in total), it’s more like a combo for 4ppl than 2ppl.

The atmosphere here was quite settled and not crazily noisy like some BBQ places. And it’s quite spacious as I like comfort and space when I dine out.

The servers were friendly, attentive, and very informative of the menu and the food being served. Just like most Korean restaurants, service is at the touch of a button. (Sometimes for a second I feel like pressing that little button every 5mins to test their tolerance lol)

The food was certainly really fresh especially the meat and great value. I also enjoy the side dishes, some efforts were put into them. I wouldn’t say everything was great, but they were certainly satisfactory.

Good recommendation by my Korean friend, I will be back to try their hot pot and...

We’ve tried many Korean BBQ spots around Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, so we weren’t expecting to be blown away, but Kosoo truly impressed us. From the moment we walked in, we noticed how clean and fresh the space felt. There was no lingering grilled meat smell, and each table had its own ventilation system. The seating was comfortable, and everything looked well-maintained.

We ordered Combo B for Two, which was more than enough for both of us—it could easily feed three. It came with: Pork Belly 삼겹살, Marinated Rib Finger 양념 갈비, Marinated LA Galbi 양념LA갈비 Choice of Soybean Soup or Soft Tofu Soup Choice of Kimchi Pancake or Chives Pancake BBQ Vegetable

The meats were all excellent—nicely marinated, fresh, and tender. We especially liked the rib finger, and the pork belly had a great texture. The soft tofu soup had a comforting broth with just the right amount of spice. The kimchi pancake 김치전 was huge, packed with flavour, and filled with well-fermented kimchi. We really enjoyed it. Delicious!

One of our favourite parts was the banchan (side dishes). Kosoo offers a wide selection, and everything tastes homemade and fresh. Refills were available on request, and the staff were very kind and responsive.

We also appreciated how organized everything was. The team clearly cares about quality and presentation. It felt like a premium Korean BBQ experience without being overly fancy or overpriced.

Overall, Kosoo exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the service was solid, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. This place is worth checking out.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kosoo Korean BBQ in Coquitlam, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! This place might be new, but it's bursting with flavor and hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with big smiles and a warm welcome. They were like foodie fairy godparents, ready to guide us through the magical world of Korean BBQ.

What struck me right away was how friendly and knowledgeable the staff were. They weren't just servers; they were culinary wizards on a mission to make our dining experience unforgettable. Their excellent service added an extra sprinkle of joy to our evening.

One thing that impressed me was how impeccably clean and organized the restaurant was. I'm a bit of a neat freak, so I appreciated the attention to detail. It's reassuring when you can tell that a place cares about its presentation.

Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the food. Oh my, it was AMAZING! We had the pleasure of using a cast-iron pan for the BBQ, which added that perfect smoky touch to our meats. The flavors were out of this world, and I could've sworn I heard my taste buds doing a happy dance.

And here's the real cherry on top of the kimchi - we got to meet the mastermind behind it all, the owner and chef, Seungmin Han. He didn't just wave from the kitchen; he personally stepped out to help us with our food. It felt like we were getting an exclusive backstage pass to the culinary symphony happening in the kitchen.

If you're looking for a restaurant that offers not just great food, but a whole experience, then I highly recommend giving Kosoo Korean BBQ a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. It's like a delicious adventure for your taste buds, and a delightful journey for your soul. Cheers to good times, good food, and great people! 🍖🔥🍜👏👏👏
