Backoos - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Definitely not authentic Korean. Their Japchae is mediocre - zero vegetable, very sweet, and topped with something that looked like a canned corned beef. Their ribs are so dry it’s like the ribs were pre boiled a few days ago then seasoned with sauce when the order came in. Way too ... expensive for the quality of their food. Nothing good to say about this restaurant. Hope this review helps them improve their menu. Read more

This time I got one of the chicken and rice dishes and it was very good! The dumplings are SO good, I will probably order more of those next time. I found the portion to be good for the price as I couldn’t finish it all in one go! My ... boyfriend got the kimchi fried rice and same with him! Also the chicken bites in the cup are soooo good. Perfectly crispy and really good dipped in their spicy sauce!! Read more

I ordered soy garlic chicken combo and i Got spicy and the chicken was old with half the breading off the breaded chicken. This place used to be good but I guess that’s no longer the case. On top of that they’re charging 4$ more for half the size… I ... was expecting good quality for the adjustment in price and size but I laughed when I opened it and tried. Read more

We went to Halifax 3 weeks ago and were craving Korean food after having eaten seafood the first two days. We chose this place since it had good reviews but quite frankly it was not well deserved based off the experience we had. Service was lacking. The lady at the cash ... didn't event greet us. Food was also served in a take out container even if you're dining in. Water is also self serve. They didn't have the item I wanted so we only ended up ordering the bulgogi rice bowl. The dumplings were good, rice was a bit hard but since the dish was so oily, it soften it up. The onion to beef ratio was about 80:20. It also didn't really taste like a regular bulgogi dish and I've been to many Korean restaurants. Def was a bit disappointed. Read more

One of the best Korean fried chicken around town! We (a family of 3) order the all-flavours chicken box and it lasts us for 2 meals. It doesn't come with rice but you can always make your own rice or order some of theirs. Great flavours! Our favourite flavours are ... the Korean Chilli and Honey Garlic ones. But the box comes with 2 other options as well - the Original and an Onion/Vinegary option. Read more
