H-MART UA H.KITCHEN — Restaurant in Greater Strathcona

Checked it out for the first time. Was surprised to see it in H-mart tucked away. In fact there's multiple places to eat.

Ordering was Sorta of confusing. There's mostly bimimbap, bulgogi, pancakes and fried Chicken. But then there's also soup meals. You order those separately on a machine. While the other dishes are ordered at till.

Wait time was approximately 20 mins. They had no drinks. You can buy drinks in the grocery store to drink there. The tickets are announced electronically but its hard to hear further back into the restaurant over the music. Staff was friendly when asked for recommendations.

The location is cute though! I loved the decor. It's felt cozy. The ceiling especially was good.

The washrooms are locked. You must ask for the key.

The good was well cooked. It was strange seeing how it came out. They came out in take out boxes while others we noticed got soups in plates and trays. I think the two types of food are independent of each other. So they are served differently. We didn't get napkins with the meal unfortunately. So had to ask.

The chicken was cooked to perfection. Good breading size and not overly sauced. Just the right amount in my opinion to eat. We had the special sauce. It was light and mild. The mala spicy which was rated as super hot was a good balance. Hot enough to taste but not hot enough to numb your taste buds. The cheese balls were lighter then expected and great texture. Not salty either.

Overall good experience. Just wished for a few small...

For three years I worked in the area doing construction, the thing I’ll miss the most is this kitchen. Absolutely unbelievable food. Truly a destination experience the second anything they make touches your pallet, a true taste of authenticity.

The fried chicken is un-matched. The soups and meal plates they have are ALLL perfect.

The staff are so friendly and kind.

Who ever is running this place, you are doing an amazing job and it’s a rare quality found in this city these days! Keep up...

The food is very tasty and flavorful! I love their fried chicken and soju. The portion is very generous compared to other Korean restaurant in town. The boss here is very thoughtful and welcoming. He turned on the external heater for us and offered us a side dish for free when we visited the place in a bleak winter night....
