Dookbaeki

Solid Korean place a short walk from Henderson Place.

Parking is available in front.

The place is quite new and modern. Nice bright lighting and theme.

Staff are friendly and helpful. The kitchen does get backed up though. Also as of the time of writing there is a 15% tip for parties of 6 or more.

The food here is excellent and very reasonably priced. My friends and I loaded up on the soup (both non spicy and spicy), had their seafood pancake, and tried their pork belly and glass noodles, and cheese rice cakes. Not a single dish was bad. Everything was quickly gobbled up.

Lastly, they offer compliment yogurt drinks (the tiny little plastic bottles) at the end, which is definitely nice. Hit the spot for a nice finish. Special mention.

Definitely a solid pick if one is in the area. Recommended.

Delicious tofu soup! Highly recommend. Free refills of banchan too. Quick lunch stop.

I heard of this place via Instagram ad and there was a giveaway contest few months back. I regret not visiting here sooner.

Anyways, I was so curious of this restaurant so I went with my sister. Interior was very Korean particularly Hanbok, signs and masks. This place was pretty tidy. Call bell is also placed for quick service.

We ordered 24. Sundae Gukbab ($27.95) and 48. Cheese Buldak ($23.95) food looked very appetizing. Sundae Gukbab had plentiful of meat and some soondae (Blood sausages). Soup was rich and tasty. They knew how to make proper Gukbab with chives on top. Condiments came along as well, salted shrimps, ground perilla (similar to sesame), dadaegi (=pepper seasonings) and chopped peppers. It was so good with extra perilla and the red pepper sauce.

Cheese Buldak was good as well. Spicy chicken with cabbages and rice cakes with melted cheese on top, YUM! There was more cabbages than meats though. We ordered mild spicy than regular spicy flavour. Mild spicy was still bit spicy for us. Luckily, my tummy wasn't upset. However, it was too expensive for the price tag.

Both dishes were pretty good. Side dishes came with Kimchi, spicy radish, and bean sprouts. They have excellent tasting Kimchi here. I couldn't stop gushing about how good they cook. Server was very helpful. He gave us a banchan refill. Lastly, free Yakult was the highlight to wash up spices. 10% discount applies for online orders. Food is expensive here, but it was pretty good.

This was actually the second time we had lunch at this Korean restaurant. The ambience and decor look nice and authentic.

We were seated right after we arrived. The servers here were very efficient. They gave us menus right away. Once we looked at the menu and knew what we wanted to order, we pressed the bell. "Ding dong!" Then a server would come and take our orders.

The food came out quickly. That was we didn't have to wait for a long time. We had the spicy tofu soup with beef, veggie bibimbap, and beef brisket soup with rice. We got three small side dishes. They were good. Just wish the restaurant could offer more different side dishes. It's always kimchi, bean sprouts and daikons. Overall, the food quality was good. The quantity of ingredients in the tofu soup with beef was quite a lot that I couldn't be able to finish it. I had to pack some home.

The pricing is reasonable as we all know there is inflation everywhere. The service was good.

I saw a customer who sat next to us ordered the fried pork cutlet with rice (Wang donkatsu). The pork chop was huge that was like the size of my face. I would like to try that next time.

After we paid, we got free small yogurt drinks from the restaurant. It was a nice little treat

NEW-ish spot for Korean Stews in Coquitlam!!

I have never come across a place that served so many different types of stews before. They serve their stews in the iconic traditional stone bowls so they stay piping hot! My personal favourite thing to get at Korean restaurants is always the seafood tofu stew. This one was pretty flavourful but it was on the tad too spicy side for me. The cheese buldak was also really good but also super spicy. The free yakult really helped cool us down after.

I was in the area and was looking for a restaurant that serves noodles. I decided to stop by here after a quick search. We were seated right away with menus dropped off. Water and tea were also dropped off shortly afterwards. I decided on the seolleong tang.

Food arrived fairly quickly. The portion size was good for one person. Salt and pepper was available to season the bone soup. There was an okay amount of beef brisket slices. I wish there were more noodles included. The soup itself was good. I recommend taking a sip beforehand and season it to taste. It tasted a lot better after a dash of salt was added.

Service was efficient. No complaints there. There is a service button to ring for help.

Solid new Korean restaurant in coquitlam. Their specialty is meat-based soup and it shows. Seafood Soondoobu was alright (and if you specifically want soondoobu, you should go to restaurants whose focus is this dish) but the jangtuh-gookbab (spicy beef soup) was made to perfection.

I did however feel they were a bit stingy with the ingredients - especially seafood dishes (in both the soondoobu and the pancake) which is why it is a 4/5.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Restaurant is clean and spacious

Tip : to call the staff over, press the bell on the table

Really authentic Korean food. Note they don't hold back on the slickness with their kimchi or spicy soups. Korean blood sausage is a must-try. Will be back another time to try their bossam which I saw several other tables order.

Great new addition to Coquitlam's korean soup restaurant scene! We were pleasantly surprised by how efficient service was on the first day of their soft opening. Management definitely seemed to bring some know-how from Edmonton and everything from wait staff to kitchen staff seemed to be running at tip top shape. My husband ordered the haejangguk and I ordered the dookbaeki bulgogi. My husband was quite happy with his meal in terms of flavour and selection of the menu. The kimchi was geotjori and very fresh which we loved. My only 2 complaints are that the dookbaeki bulgogi is abnormally priced high for Vancouver at 19 something. Secondly, for a restaurant named dookbaeki I was expecting dookbaeki rice which would complement very well with their soups but unfortunately they only give normal rice. The dookbaeki was also a bit too sweet for my taste but overall it was better than some other restaurants. All in all, we felt they were off to a fantastic start and we will most likely be going back.
