It was a hot day and I just needed some cold noodles in a comfy air conditioned restaurant and this was the place to be. Many choices in this mall and this is the homey one you wanna be in. Flavours were spot on, service was friendly, comfy seating. I'm glad we got in before their last call.

The dishes arrived piping hot, opt for the stone rice – its hot stone bowl yields a satisfyingly crispy layer at the bottom. While the restaurant's interior is pretty small in size, the quick turnaround and efficient service make for a seamless dining experience. They also renovated recently so it looks more clean and fresh. In my opinion, it stands out as one of the better Korean restaurants for soups. Don't miss the complimentary whole kimchi (it’s amazing).

This Korean restaurant is a gem, their food is good quality and yet their prices are affordable. It is now our go to Korean restaurant for beef bone soup and stone pot rice, so tasty! They also serve their kimchi and fermented radish store made. So tasty and authentic. Will be coming back for more.

Our fam felt like something “soupy” while in Hanim Shopping Centre, and various shoppers milling about said “go there” - Wang Ga Ma! We were not disappointed, though we need up not having many “soupy” dishes anyways! The pork belly with green onions, kimchee, and steamed greens was very, very yummy, as was the Ox Tail dish. Will recommend!!

Great spot for Korean food! The cold noodles were the highlight—probably the best I’ve had in the Lower Mainland. The spicy pork bibimbap was solid, and my wife rated the Gam Ja Tang 4/5. Side dishes were simple but tasty. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday and only had a short wait.

I had a craving for a Korean soup based dinner and this place hit the spot. They get super busy and there’s a line up that can get pretty long if you don’t get there before 6 for dinner. Food wise, if you’re looking for a soup/stew, this is an absolutely solid option. The service is a little bit on the slower side, we got our order and food, but no one else ever came back, so if we wanted more tea or water, we had to go up and ask. This could be because there’s only one or two people on the floor, and it does get busy. Overall, if you can overlook the small flaws, the food is tasty and worth a visit.

The sever was great, but I was disappointed the food, especially the seafood pancake. It is $28 but it was hard to find seafood. 1or 2 baby shrimps, less than 15g of chopped squid, and cheap immitation crab meat. And it is charged $28....do you think it is reasonable price??

I ate bulgogi soup here! Did you have a spicy image of Korean food? This wasn't spicy. It tasted like Japanese sukiyaki, and it was very delicious when I ate it with rice! Thank you. I’ll be back!
