Nuri Village — Restaurant in Waterloo

리뷰답니다. After a while of thought, i decided to make a review. The food quality is not consistent. Though it was a little costly, the food had been alright, and also the woman(boss) had been a very nice person until i mentioned today for the first time that the meat in the "pork bone soup" tasted kinda old. She suddenly turned back at me saying 'no one has ever complained it , and i think its just you'. I understand that she is just a person who can also be insulted by a complaint, but....she is the boss of a restaurant. Her behaviour was not professional at all. I was very very disappointed. If anyone would still go and try once , and if it ended up bad, i guess you should might as well give a review, since she seems very confident that no one had been complaining about her food.

One thing i liked was that they did not mind about not getting tips. I give a credit for this since typical korean restaurants force u to pay tips.

생각끝에 리뷰 달게 되었습니다. 주로 감자탕을 사먹으러 오던 사람입니다. 처음엔 친절하고 감자탕도 먹을만해서 여러번 이곳으로 갔었는데, 하루는 감자탕 고기의 질이 아주 퍽퍽하고 안좋더라구요. 하지만 친절했던 여사장님께선 불만이 저만 있다고, 다른사람들 다 잘먹고간다면서 , 태도가 돌변하시더라구요. 보통 사람들은 완전 상하지는 않았지만 그래도 맛없거나 별로면 '여기 오면 안되겠다' 생각하고 안오고 말지, 식당 사장에게 굳이 서로 얼굴 붉히는말 안하죠. 처음엔 친절하셨습니다. 음식맛있었냐고 물어보기도 하시길래, 이런 컴플레인정도는 수긍하는 태도를 갖고계실줄 알았는데 좀 무서웠네요. 솔직히 한번 그런것이니, 오늘 한번 더 가서 먹어봤는데, 오늘은 괜찮더라구요. 그런데 이번엔 김치가 신김치도 아니고 익은김치도 아니고 , 말그대로 음식물쓰레기에서 나는 냄새 그대로였습니다. 그래서 "사장님 오늘은 감자탕 괜찮았는데, 김치가 맛이 좀 이상한것 같았어요." 그랬더니 "입맛이 되게 까다로우신것 같아요. 아무도 컴플레인 안하는데." 이러시네요. 제 문제라는거죠. 참고로 전 입맛 전혀 안까다롭고, 단지 필요시 할말은 하는 성격일 뿐입니다. 서비스 종사자라면 빈말이라도 죄송하다, 맛에 신경쓰겠다 하고 마는게 아닌가요? 물론 사장님도 기분 상할수있는 하나의 인격체이고 저도 같은 인격체이지만, 식당 사장의 위치에서 아주 프로답지 않은 자세인것 같습니다.

음식의 퀄리티가 일정하지 않으며, 가격은 비싼편 (떡볶이 십몇불에 떡 7개인가 있었습니다), 그리고 사장님의 양면적인 모습과 "절이 싫으면 중이 떠나라" 식의 태도. 비추천입니다.

혹시나 한번쯤 그래도 가보겠다 하시는 분은, 만약 별로였다면 리뷰 남기시는것도 나쁘지 않다 생각하네요. 사장님께서 현재 아무도 불평안한다는 확신을 갖고 계시니.

한가지 마음에 들었던 점이 있다면 팁을 안내는 상황을 수긍한다는겁니다. 보통 한국식당들은...

Nuri Village is a delightful discovery in the Waterloo-Kitchener area. With so many new Asian restaurants opening, it can be tough to know which ones are worth visiting, but this place stands out. The restaurant is clean, the service is respectful and friendly, and the food is excellent.

Highlights include their flavorful seafood pancake, hearty stews, Bulgogi, and perfectly prepared Dolsot Bibimbap. For lunch, they offer delicious bento boxes and a great delicious selection of sushi.

This summer, Nuri Village has introduced a truly delightful and refreshing treat: bingsu—a heavenly combination of finely shaved milk ice, creamy ice cream, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of sweet, tangy sauce. The flavors come together beautifully, creating a light and satisfying indulgence that’s perfect for warm days.

What makes Nuri Village truly special is not just the food, but the care behind it. The chefs and staff, with their gentle, courteous manner, deliver an experience that feels both thoughtful and authentic. You’ll leave feeling full and happy, yet never at the expense of quality.

If you find yourself in the area, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Nuri Village and treat yourself—you won’t be...

It's an adequete Korean restaurant. Below is more detail, but for a quick summary, it's cheap and has great selection but the food quality is not up to par.

Pros: It's got affordable prices. Perfect for any broke university student craving Korean. The basic bone soup is $10, which is a lot cheaper than most other restaurants. Lots of variety. Their menu is a couple pages long, and filled with various dishes. Tons of appetizers, noodles, soups, etc. Korean! It's Korean cuisine. Cannot rate authenticity (haven't eaten at much) but meals come with nice side dishes and taste authentic enough to my untrained tongue.

Cons: Some food options were not up to par. A friend had the seafood pancake, and the green onions were basically raw. I've gotten underseasoned food here, and food with very little portions of meat. It may be because of the vast menu, but sometimes the food strikes well, sometimes it's alright, and sometimes it goes below my...
