Enjoyed the large portions of food that came with our meal. We werent skilled in cooking on the grill so our server was happy to show us. A nice experience and the seasoned meats and side dishes were tasty. Bon Appetite. $$

Korean food is really delicious at Royal Seoul. Our favorite is the new BBQ grilled beef with sides of creamy corn, melted cheese and steam egg. Rice noodle and Korean potato noodle are yummy and authentic. We love the Asian wood decor and private seating area. Staff are wonderful and friendly!

I’ve been to this place many times, their food is good and very reasonable. I order their seafood pancake every time I go, I pack most of it home and have it for lunch the next day. Their soups are also done very well. Overall they have good food and that’s why I keep going back.The inside decor is definitely interesting, and you can see the owners spent a pretty penny on it. One weird thing is the washrooms are located on the second floor. The washrooms can use an update though. It doesn’t reflect the same level of decor as the dining room.I like how each table has a vent hood for all the grease and oil when you grill your food. There’s also a button for you to call your server when you need service, which is a nice touch in korean restaurants.The servers I’ve had were all very good. A few even offered to cook our food for us.One thing I think they can improve on is giving the place a deep cleaning on a monthly basis. The floors are usually quite greasy and slippery. Especially going upstairs to the washrooms. I had several near misses slipping down the stairs.

I’ve been eating out too much guys lol. But here’s another review. I was craving comfort food and galbi came to mind. And I wanted a lot of it! I made an order for two servings of galbi and it was enough to satisfy my craving with some leftovers to nibble on later. The taste was great! And I got some pancheon (side dishes) with it which was unexpected but super happy to receive it. This was kimchi, potatoes and bean sprouts. Hit the spot!! Thank you! And I’m giving it 4 stars cuz I just tried one dish so far. I will order again and try their other dishes.

Very busy Friday night, but servers tried their best.BBQ meat had great flavor and filled us. We ordered the 5-people combo which came down to ~$40 per person. A tad expensive but good for group gatherings.

Love the decor of the restaurant and the moment we walked in, it smelled so good. We only ordered tteobokki as a quick snack before our drive to Whistler. The taste was flavourful but the spice level was too much for us

The place is nicely decorated. Their seafood pancake was good(except that ours was half burnt). Their ventilation system is really bad so the smoke is everywhere. Service was bad. We called the waiters several times and had to wait for a really long time for them so show up. We did not know how to adjust the temperature of the stove and no one offered to help us. Our friend told us this place used to be very nice...

Well this one was tough. Normally I dont like to give 4 stars but I feel this place is the perfect candidate. I ordered a Korean beer but I was informed it was not cold...but they did have the Japanese beer cold which is odd in a Korean restaurant. The decor is okay but could use a refreshing for sure. The service was not that good but I understand the staff want to stay away for health reasons so Im okay with that. The food was tasty. We had the $54 BBQ combo for 2. Rice was extra and it came with a few small sides. Overall it was fun but I will probably try another BBQ place to to see how they compare.Cheers

Royal Seoul HouseThis was our first visit.Seating was comfortable.We ordered the Chosun Combination for 5.The food was amazing and there was plenty for the four of us.The service was excellent.The decor was beautiful. Spoke with the owner about the decor and she explained it was made in Korea along with the interior roofing tiles. Normally there is white paper in between the doors but they choose white plastic for durability.Highly recommended!

We went here last month. The food was good and large. The seafood fried pancake was crispy and highly recommended. The dry cabbage in pork neck bones and potato soup tastes traditional. One point we dont like is that 6 pieces of lettuce was charged for 3 bucks.

The service is kind of slow and the food was a bit cold when served.My girlfriend and I tried the lunch special meal, the overall quality is decent, not much surprises. But the side dishes actually amazed us and we thought it was better quality than the main dishes lolAverage $30 per person.

Family owned resturant. Would recommend coming here, but dont expect too much

Good Korean BBQ. Lots of different meat combination options. Meats were pretty good and portions are made to share. A good place for a family meal.

Lots of space, especially for Korean BBQ. Food was delicious and tasty. The combo meal for 5 people was a lot of food; very filling. Prices decent. Nice that they have a bell to call the waiters. Service was fast and staff was friendly.Would definitely go back again.

The cold noodles were good. The side dishes slightly lacklustre. Ordered galbi and you have to pay extra for lettuce.

Such a nice place good food omg so much better than you think ambiance and private areas a must try place!!

Good place to get Korean BBQ and other dishes. Came here two times with family and the experience has always been decent. Service is very, very friendly and they have a button to call a server if you need something (although, I’m not a big fan of the doorbell sound upon pressing). Ordered an udon dish for my parents but it had a sour smell/taste to it. The waitress was very kind about it and took it off the bill for us. Other than that, all their dishes taste great.

I had a proper fabulous feast here. Great cuts of meat with very little fat, flavourful dishes and quick service. The portions were plentiful, and everything came out extremely hot. Prices per person were very reasonable considering the amount of food we ordered. I loved the lettuce kimchi appetizer. I will definitely be returning.

Probably one of my favourite korean places. Im a huge fan of seafood tofu soup and get it at every korean place I go to, and Id have to say its pretty good here. The seafood pancake was also good, being nice and crispy. My friend has the bimbimbap and it had good flavour to it. They also give a good amount of complimentary side dishes (free to refill).I like this place because the food is good, prices are reasonable, and the place has a lot of room so you never really have to wait. I believe the staff are korean and they have these service buttons at each table so you dont have to worry about waving servers down (super convenient). If youre craving authentic korean food, I would definitely recommend coming here!

Pretty solid for a Korean BBQ place. My partner is Korean and she enjoys the food there. Service is decent and its pretty easy to get a table.

We can enjoy nice Korean food. If some appetizers are smaller potion, it would be better.

Seevice was great i dont have to any problem with customer service and quality of the food. They need to updated the air conditioner system asap. Went there today jun27 Sunday. Most hottest day of the year recorded of 39 degrees.. there ac system was outdated, server told us they turn the ac on however it does not blow the cold air.. as you know most of the korean food is spicy and hot specially soup it.. soup teast was great and server were friendly and nice... I dont even know the restaurant owner will see my review or not but if you see this please updated your ac system. Thanks

Excellent first experience thanks to my amazing partner who suggested it. Service was incredibly attentive, food was delicious. Cant wait to go again! Highly recommended

Good Korea restaurant！Forces pot is awesome！

Traditional setting with good food. A little hard to get the servers attention because the dividers between tables are quite high.

Worst service I have ever received in an Asian-cuisine oriented restaurant within the Lower Mainland.This is my 5th and last time coming to this restaurant.I came 3 times with a korean friend and twice (as of today) with a non-asian person. The treatment is completely different when you have someone who speaks their language and doesn’t look like a simple caucasian or is of mixed race like me.There were less than 10 people in the restaurant, we had to click the call button 4 times (waiting 2 minutes between each click) so that a server would come. Not to mention that I spoke outloud “Chogiyo!”, the waitress pretended to not hear and didn’t even bother looking at me.When someone finally came, we ordered our dishes and asked for more tea as we had been waiting too long and had consumed what we had. After 10 minutes of wait my friend stood up and went to the “bussing” area just before the staircase up and the server said she had to go back to the table and wait so that she would come with the tea.More wait and finally she comes with more tea.Shortly after comes the food. My friend had asked for water for us previously but the waitress only brought her water, none for me, and at that point I was too stressed to bother asking for anything else.Who on earth serves spicy food and doesn’t either:- brings water with it;- asks if you need water or anything.When we were finished, as I went to the cashier an older lady asked how was everything. I immediately replied with “My experience was really unsatisfactory today.”She replies “Oh so sorry”. I went on to point out the issues, she interrupted me at first saying “So sorry, place is busy”.I said - “That is far from the truth, there were less than 10 people here when we ordered.”Once again she says “So sorry.” in a fake accent as if she didn’t know how to have a conversation in english and then proceeded to completely ignore me while we were paying.To cut a long story short - food not bad, barbecue and fried stuff never disappoints.Service? Jesus have mercy.—— From the pictures you can see that there were 3 tables with few people and some people in the “floor table” box area pointed with an arrow (the area you take your shoes off).I took those pictures immediately after ordering so I could have it for this review as I was already feeling belittled. —-PS: as to why we have a menu when you remove if after orders are placed? I asked the server to leave it as we at first wanted to order more.

3-5 star service depending on who is there serving. The food there is absolutely amazing with high quality of fish and meat. You almost never have to wait to be seated as there are plenty of seats. The furnishings look a bit old but clean, and it doesnt affect you from enjoying the food.

We (4 people) had the lunch menu for 20CAD. It was lots of food and my Korean friends said it was even better than the food at Sura on Robson street in downtown. But we didnt had beef in our japchae and one strange thing was that we didnt get the sweet ginger drink (sikhye) since they stopped making it (at 2:15 pm). Service was friendly.

Unlimited sides and large party platters at a reasonable price. My favorites are the Kalbi short ribs and spicy pork. Sometimes the cuts are a bit large but they do provide cooking scissors.

This establishment has been here for quite sometime. The service is getting better and better. They offer very reasonable prices on their combos and you always ended up bringing home leftover. I like their chosun combination for two. You get green salad, porridge, hot soup, japchae, seafood pancake, five side dishes, so bulgogi, malum doeji bilgogi, etc. etc.

A nice Korean restaurant. It has nice environment which looks like traditional Korean style, and a good location on Broadway. I like the pork bone soup very much. But a little bit pricy for the food.

Love the food here. Theres a great selection that is always warm and delicious :)

Wow.. very good variety of Korean food with spicy alternatives. The plates are nicely served and the food is delicious.

Cant beat the set lunch for $20! This is a table of four lunch.

Poor operation management and poor customer service. Didnt have a staff at the reception, we were waiting to be seated and waited over 30 minutes to order. The sever told us to wait for a second for two times and still didnt come at the end.

Food is very good as usual. Waiter is very well trained. Had a very good time

Good for casual dining, servers were nice, and the food was exceptionally good 👍

Really awesome place with tables that have privacy screens, which is great for groups of people. Ordered the combo for 5 but fed 6 with leftovers! All really good food and grills were changed quickly when we called for it to be.

This house has no soul. For real. What a let down overall. I mean the marinated meats were pretty tasty, we got Combo B bbq for 2, the one time we went here but were never coming back. The whole experience was a disappointment.Even with our very costly $59 meat combo they only served us bare minimum side dishes, kim chi, sweet potatoes, fermented cucumber and mongo sprouts - thats it. They charged us $2 for rice. Freaking rice! Never happened to me before in any of the Korean BBQ restaurants Ive been to.I want to rant about how disappointed I was with the whole dine experience but Im just so exhausted with grief and bitterness its so hard to muster up the energy to properly criticize this place. Thats how bad my experience was, it exhausted me until I had no desire to give it the trashing this restaurant deserves.

Menu change very frequently no more good deal, will not return.

Good food but bad service…Waiters seldom change the grill…They just put the meat on the grill like this…looks disgusting 😟

Decent Korean eats. Good for larger parties.

Food, service, portions, pricing, all in perfect harmony. Amazing.

Good food.

Good food abit expensive

Really good service and wonderful food (especially bbq bone soup). One more good thing is there is a bell on the table so whenever you need something you can press the bell.

One of (or maybe THE) OG Korean restaurants in Vancouver! Been coming since my childhood. For some the a la carte may not be the cheapest but the dinner and lunch combos are good deal for the quality. Though its difficult due to COVID now, this is a fantastic place for group dinners. Cant wait to come back soon.

I’d like mark 0 star if there’s a option, the worst experience ever! The oven was on fire we almost call 911😢what a ridiculous way to serve customers.

Good food, good people, worth the price.

Had lunch there, was different, and quite enjoyed it, but the food must be very high in sodium as I am super thirsty only half an hour after leaving the place! Service was friendly and good. The restaurant is large and reasonably attractive in surroundings. However, the washrooms really bring the place down a couple levels, even though you have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to them. Not necessarily easy for the disabled and the elderly. I always believed that a good restaurant should have equally good washrooms. Cleanliness is definitely next to godliness when it comes to a washroom and toilet space.It is unfortunate, as I did enjoy the meal, but however a bit later I ended up feeling really very sick. I was sick for the entire rest of the day. I wont be going back there.

Ox soup was delicious. Side dishes were very good in flavor and quantity. Clean tables. Fish was super salty :(. Customer service needs improvement. Price range is on the high side. Wheelchair and transit accessible.

Nice place to go with your friends or family

Good Korean food and good bbq

Food is good BUT theyre sooo busy and we have to wait for 20 mins to have some water. NOBody helps us to change the plate.BAD service!

Good food and atmosphere, beer in bottle not on tap.

Recently visited with coworkers during lunch and it seemed like their bell to call waitresses was broken. Had to actually chase one of two servers to tell that we are ready. It was very understaffed.

Service is good but foods is soso especially individual dish. I would only come here for BBQ.

Quality great customer service skills amazing food I love this place. I would highly recommended. Should check the reservations and status on how busy it is before you go. Cuz you may not get a seat. Thats how good it is. Kindest regards

Great Korean food. The real experience with built in Hanok houses inside!

Meal preparation time is a bit longer than our expectations

Favourite restaurant in the area, perfect for family dining. The grilled meat and side dishes are great, super relaxing and unpretentious. Good service. One star off for their really outdated interior.

Combo should come with rice no charge. Instead its a side item they charge you $2 per bowl for. Cost of rice is about $0.10 a bowl. Ridiculous. Just increase the cost of the combo by 50 cents if this place is so cheap. most people will never eat that much rice.

Great selection of bbq items and side dishes. Dishes came out very quickly after ordering. Service could be improved.

Had company dinner celebrating the holidays. Royal Seoul House was very accommodating to our large group of guests. Food was great, servers were very patient with our rowdy crowd. They really looked after their guests (example: making sure whoever drank did not drive).Good place to go for quality food and excellent service.

Amazing food!

Large space with a fun atmosphere. Great BBQ selection with the grill built into the table. The BBQ meat you ordered is cooked by the staff at your table and dished out. Make sure you also order some sweet and spicy deep fried chicken (kkanpoongki). Some of the booths require you to remove your shoes, so make sure you wear your best socks!

Honestly, Ive been to this location 4 times and each time expected it to be better than the previous time that I was here. But really the food isnt that tasty because the meat is quite thick so difficult to cook and it isnt marinated well, making it quite bland. Not to mention it costs roughly $65 for a two person meal (not including drinks or rice) and I always leave still feeling hungry. Nice place to bring friends on a themed Korean BBQ restaurant but not really a place to eat at.

Good Korean restaurant located on Broadway. Servings many kinds of Korean cuisine with reasonable pricing. Good services and foods. They provide a table for 2, 4, 8 and also for a bigger group. They usually busy on weekend.

Lovely, kind staff - and the food is delicious! Feels like home cooked food.

Best Korean food Ive had in awhile. Had a very pleasant time eating here. Great service and great portions. Would really recommend others to come here and will definitely come back again with friends and family. Has many rooms and tables and can accommodate big groups.

Been coming here my whole life. Ive been told that its 30 years old and the oldest running Korean restaurant in Vancouver and man my family loves this place. Its awesome for groups and I have to say the owner is an extremely sweet lady. 10/10 would recommend. Make sure to get some BBQ its awesome.

Great food at great prices. The service are very friendly and promptly.If you are looking for great Korean food in Vancouver, this is the place to come with family or host celebration meals.

No physical distancing at all! Food was expensive too!

They take reservations and they have certain tables that are in these walled booths/room-like spaces - love the cozy and homey feel it gives when youre eating in one of those. You take off your shoes when you go inside them! Portions are REALLY generous - their spicy korean fried chicken is real spicy and I appreciated how it was still juicy on the inside. I saw a lot of others doing KBBQ so thats something I want to try next time!

I have not been here for quite some time. My wife and I didnt do the BBQ so we had a tofu soup, stone bowl rice dish and two appetizers. Wife mentioned the tofu soup was alright but could name two other places that are somewhat better. Everything else I would say was good. Service was polite and attentive. All in all we enjoyed our dinner.

Worst service

Pretty good food. Table BBQ is pretty pricey but I think they are like that at most Korean restaurants. Decent selection of authentic Korean dishes, but those may not appeal to non-Koreans.Service wasnt too bad but we went when its not busy. If you want service, press the buzzer on the table (our button didnt work well and had to press hard) and they came promptly.

Good bulgogi, decent portions

I love this place. I come often. My favourite is the spicy pork bulgolgi. If it isnt busy, they can cook the dish in the kitchen rather than the customer having to barbeque the meat at the table. But it frustrates me they cant do this all the time. How long does it take to stir fry a dish? And you can free up my table if I wasnt slowly cooking the meat myself. But the service is great. No attitude. I like this. That is why I go back so often.

This is THE place to go for Korean BBQ-- family-run and always a fun time. The lunch special is awesome-- tons of food. Ive been to Korea more than 50 times... this is where to go for authentic Korean in Vancouver. Plus they have the number one comrade awards, which two of my friends have won over the years.

Great Korean BBQ. Spacious, good service, and good value.

Food was good. But avoid coming here in Summer. I went here today for lunch and I asked a server to control air conditioning to lower temperature and they did. BUT I think the air conditioning wasnt working. While having lunch I was so sweaty.

High quality thick portions of meat and nicely marinated, bell service at our table so whatever we asked for they always came promptly and they also checked in on us, great place for big groups and nicely decorated with many private seating. Washrooms are clean.

The food was great although a bit in consistent in quality and quantity(throughout 3 times we went in one month). However this third time is probably the last time I’m going. When we paid our money we did not tip to full 10% (only 3 dollar difference) because we thought the service today was not as good as the other day. The woman server looked at me nasty and used pretty rude tone of voice demanding 10-15% tip. Horrible woman that is not how you treat your customers.

Good food!The combination for 3 people was super filling and would have filled 4 people. But loved the variety of food they gave us. The only thing weird was that they limited the amount of side dishes you could have. Only 1 reorder of side dishes is free. Any more and it costs extra. Super weird for a Korean place. But the service was friendly and the food was good.

Love this place. A must-try Korean food at Vancouver. The service is good too! No pressure from the server that you need to leave right away.

Restaurant was 75% full but was told 45min wait due to short handed, couldnt clean tables fast enough..WHAT? So just as were about to leave, an owner showed up and guided us to a private room. Turns out they had cleaned rooms available but refused to seat us because were party of three instead of six. Anywho we decided to stay even though it left bad taste in our mouth... food was served pretty quickly and food was tasty. Parking garage w validation.

Very polite service and great selection of meat.

Food is amazing, I come here all the time with my friends and we love it. It’s a great place for big groups and they always treat us so well. The braised beef is the BEST highly recommend!!

Good Korean food along West Broadway near Granville Street. Clean and traditional decor. Mid range to higher pricing.

Always positive experience at here. Good food and really good service. The atmosphere is good too. Great variety of dishes on the menu and food comes out at a decent speed. I would recommend this place to friends. You should try galbi (beef prime rib). That was the best I have ever had. i will definitely recommend to friends

Like the food in this place

First of all, I am Korean and I am shamed to say that this place got to be the worst Korean restaurant in Vancouver. Mind you that there are a lot of Korean restaurant and this one got to be at the very bottom when it comes to quality of foods and service. I am shamed that they actually call themselves a Korean restaurant. When we arrived, door was locked, said wind was too strong so they locked it. The tea served was cold and it was cold rainy night. The BBQ combo we ordered was poor in quality( we did not finished our portions) and to top it off, we had to ask 3 times to change propane cylinder. The cold noodle at the end of meal was even worse. All in all, it was lowest point of dining experience. I usually dont post something like this but I just want you all to know that there are other decent Korean restaurant in Vancouver and certainly this is NOT typical Korean restaurant. Go somewhere else like any restaurant on Robson street. Any of them will be better than this one.

We had a BBQ combo (for 5people). Food is excellent & the portion is good enough for 5 people. They charge BBQ sauce & vege wraps extra. The service is on average, nothing special. There is a buzzer that you can use to call servers.

A bit pricey but its worth it every $$ you spent. Food was delicious and place was good enough to enjoy every single bite of your order. Also dont forget their side dishes too, i believe you can get a refill for each of your side dishes. 🤗😁

Its actually my favorite Korean bbq in Vancouver. Everything is fresh and well made. Feels like homemade food

I had a dinner with friends yesterday. It was really good. All food was fresh and served in about 5-10min. The server was fantastic. He kept asking how was everything and brought extra side dishes for us! You can never go wrong with their signature bbq beef (Prime Rib) & soft tofu soup. I personally do not like too spicy food, but I was able to adjust the spicy level at this restaurant and I loved it! I will definitely go with family again :)

Service needs improvement. Everything was super spicy and salty. The rice cake we ordered was soggy. Serving size was pretty big. Overall, pretty disappointing. I much prefer the one in Aberdeen Center.

I felt discriminated, Ive never felt that way before. We were seated without menus and then ignored. The place was not really busy, one staff member was just standing there staring at us. We were ignored and others were served before us who came in after. We sat there for over 20 min, no menus, no offer for water, tea... nothing. I called out to someone walking by who was seating others (menus in hand) which made me feel rude. The young fella that came, asked if I pressed the button, I said yes, he pressed it to check if it was working, as it did when I pressed it. Finally we got to order, we have never had Korean food before as I explained to the waitress. She would not offer friendly assistance. Yes she spoke English very well so there was no language barrier. We had no idea what we were ordering. We ended up ordering way too much. I noticed how the other tables were getting constant service as I had to ask to have empty plates removed, again feeling totally ignored. I have never in my life made to feel so unwelcome in a establishment. I am greatful I was with such wonderful company. We will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Authentic Korean BBQ restaurant in Vancouver!! Nice interior, and food was absolutely delicious. I had a Japchae and pork bacon. Port bacon in here is always best with lettuce. Servers are really good too!! Great place to visit with family and friends.
