This place is not good after the renovations. The service sucks, the waiters only come around when you are cooking food (so when you're busy); they do…

10 Reviews on “Insadong Korean BBQ Restaurant”
Insadong Korean Restaurant is located on 920 36 St North East Calgary. My boyfriends friend invited me and my boyfriend to this restaurant for lunch on last Saturday. Before moved to Calgary, my boyfriend and I were always having Korean food at Insadong Korean Restaurant in Vancouver. This was our first time trying Korean food in Calgary. This restaurant has the same name as the one in Vancouver, but the different restaurant. We wish to have a great experience before we went. We were there around 1 pm. The restaurant was a bit busy when we arrived. Luckily, we got a table so fast. We waited for the table server come to our table about 20 -30 minutes. I think its because of the busy environment, the servers were very busy. Our table server was nice and friendly. My boyfriend and I have ordered Lunch Box, Kimchi Strew, Sweet Sour Pork, and Takoyaki. His friend ordered the beef bowl. The food came out the kitchen fast. All the food was well cooked. Side dishes were great and fresh. The sweet-sour pork was my favorite dish. The pork was soft with sweet sour sauce, some fruits and vegetable on top, which was very tasty. I couldnt believe it was awesome. Takoyaki balls were OK but they tasted like frozen one. Lunch Box was in the medium portion of little bit everything, which includes Salad, Seafood Pancakes, rice, beef, and potatoes. I didnt get a chance to try them. Kimchi Strew was one of my favorite Korean food. I always ordered it in any Korean restaurant. The kimchi strew at Insadong Korean Restaurant was in super large portion. There were lots of meat, kimchi and soup in the big bowl. But, the taste of the strew was super super salty. I couldnt even tell its kimchi. In summary, it was a decent Korean Restaurant, but I still like the Insadong Korean Restaurant in Vancouver more. food.belindajin.com
Food: The best Korean BBQ in Calgary. Having eaten at Seoul on Macleod many times throughout the years, Insadong blows them out of the park. The AYCE is definitely worth it here since the meat is top notch. None of it is ever over marinated like at a lot of Korean BBQ places so it never has that mushy texture (Usually found in pork and chicken). All of the meat here is a great choice but the pork ribs, spicy pork, and spicy chicken stand out particularly. Great flavor, juiciness, and perfectly cooked from the kitchen too.Service: I’ve always had great service here with friends, and in general it’s a great place to grab a bite.
We went in for the all you can eat deal at 1pm. The place was almost empty. We choose our items got the food and cooked it ourselves. When we were ready for the 2nd round no one came out to help us despite the restaurant not being busy. I had to flag someone down. During our meal no one came to check up with us or offer us refill on the tea. After we paid and was leaving the restaurant a staff member came out and said they undercharged us. We didn’t know there were two different all you can eat menu as I only saw the one for $22.99. They wanted us to pay 26.99 instead, we were not happy but paid anyways.Been going to this restaurant for the last couple years. After this experience with customer service I would not go again and will not recommend it to anyone.3 of us cost almost $90.
2 star for the foods, they are so good. But the service was very very very slow, and you have to wait for server to came and they only came to our table twice. It took approximately 2 hours to finish the meal so I think is not worth it. Really lost all the patient at the end.
Bad. Really really bad!! We went for all you can eat $25/person. We ordered each on every meat , ddeokbokki, & chicken katsu. Meats comes first 10 MINUTES after the katsu (really small portion). I ask where is my ddeokbokki?. He said it’s coming. Yes it did… after 30 MINUTES LATER!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!! The ddeokbokki doesn’t even taste like it. It tasted like they put too much corn starch on a sauce. We even ask if it’s possible to have lettuce but the lettuce never came! We weren’t enjoying our meal at all!! This is the worst AYCE BBQ in the city! I won’t recommend anyone to eat her for AYCE. Service bad, slow, & inconsistent. Never come back here!.
Best Korean for the best value in the city in my opinion. My favourite is there black bean noodle! Service is fast and attentive, in and out of that resturant with bellys full in less than 45 mins 🙂
I absolutely love this place for Korean. They have a standard menu with a selection from soups, meats and noodles and another menu for all you can eat korean bbq. One ayce menu is cheaper than the other which doesn’t include the beef ribs. The servers can get busy sometimes so you might have to check up once in a while to make sure they don’t mix up your order. It’s the quality food you pay for and you know you’re in the right place when you notice other Koreans eat here too.
