My boyfriend and I were really hungry and was looking for Korean food in North Vancouver. We found Ham Ji Bak and decided we were going to walk up from Lonsdale Quay. That was extremely foolish of us because it was an incline walk, and we were even more hungry and dehydrated than before. The Kanpoongki took a while to cook, but the wait was so worth it. It was so crispy and flavorful! My mapo tofu on the other hand was really disappointing because it was very bland. I’m being generous with my rating because prior to going to Canada for vacation, I became addicted to mapo tofu cooked szechuan style. Ham Ji Bak’s mapo tofu was just tamed. We did end up coming back for more kanpoongki, and also got the pork version. The pork version was just as good but we were thrown off by some of the pieces that were undercooked, afterall it is pork.

Classic Korean Chinese cuisine! if you’re looking for authentic chinese food, this isn’t the place for you. loved their kimchi fried rice. take-out took a little longer and was a bit sketchy as they don’t ask for your number but nonetheless less service was great. now I’m just pacing myself to go back to try their fried dumplings and jajangmyun!

Classic hole-in-the-wall that’s a hidden gem! Seriously good dishes, large portions, and fast service. Make sure to order the sweet and spicy chicken(it’s got some heat that kicks in after a bit, but not too harsh). So glad my friend showed me this place! I wish I lived closer to West Van.

Great authentic whole in the wall restaurant with generous portions of reasonable priced chewy Korean noodles covered in tasty black bean sauce. Nice and quick service. This was my second time and will definitely go back if I’m in the area.
