Korean food cravings brought us to Hanin Village in Coquitlam. Wang Ga Ma is the family’s favourite. They have the most authentic Korean food and are reasonably priced. We loved the Dolsot Bibimbap (Korean Stone Pot Rice Bowl) and Kimchi Tofu Soup. This place has limited seats ... so lunch and dinner have a long line of diners. No reservation is allowed so be early. Service needs to improve. Read more
I had a craving for a Korean soup based dinner and this place hit the spot. They get super busy and there’s a line up that can get pretty long if you don’t get there before 6 for dinner. Food wise, if you’re looking for a soup/stew, this is an absolutely ... solid option. The service is a little bit on the slower side, we got our order and food, but no one else ever came back, so if we wanted more tea or water, we had to go up and ask. This could be because there’s only one or two people on the floor, and it does get busy. Overall, if you can overlook the small flaws, the food is tasty and worth a visit. Read more
The dishes arrived piping hot, opt for the stone rice – its hot stone bowl yields a satisfyingly crispy layer at the bottom. While the restaurant's interior is pretty small in size, the quick turnaround and efficient service make for a seamless dining experience. They also renovated recently so it looks ... more clean and fresh. In my opinion, it stands out as one of the better Korean restaurants for soups. Don't miss the complimentary whole kimchi (it’s amazing). Read more
The food is really good. Plates come to the table very hot. Tasty and the prices are reasonable. The service average. The atmosphere is so, so. I recommend this place for a quick bite alone or with someone you know well. This isn't a place ... for romance. Read more
Wang Ga Ma 왕가마 delivers authentic Korean cuisine right here in Vancouver. They don't serve a ton of side dishes (banchan 반찬), but their radish kimchi (kkakdugi 깍두기) is a standout. They even provide tools for cutting meat, seafood, veggies, and noodles! Walking into Wang Ga Ma feels like ... stepping into Korea. Most of the diners are Korean, which is an excellent sign that this spot captures Korea's true flavours and vibe. Their soups and rice are amazing in hot stone bowls (ttukbaegi 뚝배기). The bone soups are super delicious. We've tried several dishes from their menu and always left satisfied. Don't miss the burnt rice tea in the stone pot after your meal — it really completes the experience! Wang Ga Ma is located in Hanin Village. While waiting for a table, we love grocery shopping at H-Mart nearby. This place might be well-known to Koreans, but it could be a hidden gem for others. There's nothing fancy about their menu or entrance, and they don't even have a social media account, but they've been in business for years. That says something. Highly recommend checking Wang Ga Ma out! 📝📝 Food: 🥘🥘🥘🥘Should Try! Service: 👩🍳👩🍳👩🍳 Kids: 👶👶👶👶 Yay!
