Sooda Korean BBQ

I can't speak on authenticity, but the food here is so good that every time I go I make myself sick. It's so good that I had to write my first Yelp review for it. The Sooda bulgogi can easily feed 4-5 people and yet I consistently insist on trying to eat a full third of it at least. I'm from Washington state but have made several expeditions just for Sooda. Food comes out quickly and staff has always been very friendly.

My first time at Sooda and was pretty good! We got the Sooda BBQ Hanpan, which is easily shareable between 2-3 people. It came with pork belly, beef belly, mixed veggies, 2 salad, 2 rice, and danjang jiggae. For $46, this is a real steal.

Only feedback would be would've enjoyed more even split of beef belly, as there is triple the pork belly. As well, the soup was on the more bland side. But would still come back, as I think it's a fun group meal.

The sooda box (torched tartare on pressed rice) was so good! It was buttery and flavourful. The seafood pancake that we ordered was crispy on the outside, but also loaded with a lot of corn, seafood, and green onions. Lastly, the tteokbokki was cheesy, and not too spicy so if you aren't good with spicy food, you don't have to worry!

The food was delicious, the sushi was my favourite and I highly recommend it. We got the half order. You do have to wait a while to be seated as it's a popular location/restaurant but definitely worth it. It's got a cool looking interior with neon lights, although nothing fancy.

Loved this place for a casual meal. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and we just loved the sooda boxes! All the fun of kbbq without the effort!

Located just down the street from the Amazing Brentwood in Burnaby. Has some plaza parking available , as well as street parking not too far away!~

They often get quite busy , so it can get quite loud and noisy - however conversations are still manageable - decent amount of seating , mainly for smaller groups - but can arrange for the larger groups as well. They communicate a 90 minute dining time limit when you are seated.

They have some great affordable lunch specials - however opted to get the Sooda Special Jeyook - the portion is generous and can definitely feed like 3 people - Cheese , corn , egg , rice and spicy marinated pork - yum yum - However ! The lost star is , i tasted absolutely no spice, it tasted more sweet then anything. - However it's still very delicious - just missed the spicy mark.

We didn't need to order the Sooda Fries , however I was craving them as I knew they were amazing from my last few visits. -Cheesy and still crunchy - essentially this is like your Korean style poutine !

This was a 4.5 star experience :) - will definitely return - and hopefully try out there secondary location!

My old friend came to visit from Chicago and wanted some Korean food so I chose Sooda because we had to go to Brentwood mall anyways.

Right at 11:30am there was a line but we were seated immediately. They have great size and priced lunch specials as well their whole menu is affordable for the quality and the service is excellent!!

The waitress was even kind enough to explain everything to my friends and always attentive and refilling everything even when it was packed.

Will return again real soon! Thanks Sooda!

A unique eating experience. The staff was super friendly and the food was very good. We enjoyed the overall experience. The 1.5 time limit to eat was plenty as the service is quick. Definitely recommend if you never had Korean BBQ.

Our favourite are the wings! They are so juicy and flavourful and crispy.

We also quite like the tofu soup and seafood pancake.

The restaurant is big but they are very busy and limit you on seating time.

We were looking around for Korean BBQ and settled for this place since it was close by. The parking was accessible and somewhat easy to find, and the restaurant was clear and visible. When we went in, we were struck by a modern atmosphere. Seating took some time as the waiter didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Once we got the menu, we were presented with a colorful but concise, comic-esque menu. We glanced over the lunch specials but ultimately decided on the BBQ items (Pork Jowl, Beef Tongue) and an order of Sweet and Spicy Chicken. The BBQ items came with 2 sides (kimchi and potato), Denjang chigae, salad, and rice.

The kimchi tasted different than what I'm used to, as it wasn't as flavourful. When the food came, the Pork Jowl and Beef Tongue surprised me, as the portion was minuscule for its price. The cooking was fortunately taken care of by our waiter, who did a good job getting an appropriate sear.

The KFC was somewhat crispy, but had a peculiar overly sweet cinnamon taste, and didn't remind me much of the typical sweet and spicy KFC chicken. It came as all wings/drumettes in a cute little basket. The Denjang chigae was your basic soup that balanced out the variety of flavors of the meal.

Overall, we regretted not getting some of their lunch specials and signature "Sooda-Box"/"Sooda Special", as we realized it might've made a difference in our experience since the KBBQ and KFC was not the highlight of the menu.
