HAN COREA

It's a small restaurant and can be very busy sometimes. Some of the best Korean food I've had in Calgary. Soondubu Jjigae had great flavour and had tons of tofu. Loved the soup. Gamjatang was nice as well but wish there was more cabbage. It's mostly the bones but the soup was good. Banchan was good. Loved the fishcakes.

This is a very authentic, family style and super small Korean restaurant! The food was incredible, the service was a bit slow but basically you have only one waitress for the whole place…but totally worth the wait! I will be back with more people and time to try everything else. They don’t accept reservations, so make sure you get there earlier or order online, we got there at 5:30 and didn’t have an issue to get a table, an hour later, there were people lining up to get in…so delicious!

Han Corea is hands down one of the best authentic family run Korean restaurant. It is located in an industrial area so parking can be difficult ay busy times. But the food and service would make you not regretting to come here to wait. Love every dishes and been a regular for over 10 years here. Everything still awesome as it is!

HAN COREA is a cozy spot that feels like stepping into a Korean hometown. The food is authentic and comforting, and the staff are genuinely friendly. Overall, a very enjoyable experience—definitely worth trying if you’re craving good Korean food after a while. 👍

This is the OG Han Corea. 🔥 It always hits the spot. The soups are packed with flavour and never miss, I’ve honestly never been disappointed here. Definitely call ahead to check for open tables because the place is small and fills up fast for a reason. If you’re looking for comforting, flavourful Korean food done right, this is it. Highly recommend. 👌🍲

Simple, delicious, and fresh. Everything tasted authentic and homemade. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. The kimchi jjigae was hearty and comforting on a cold fall day, and the stir-fried squid and pork had just the right kick and was great for sharing. Really good value too, we paid about $34 per person, and we still had leftovers for lunch the next day!

Excellent quality and authentic food, no frills service. Family friendly but when it gets busy, they will direct patrons to their alternate location. It was an enjoyable experience with Korean menu items that are not commonly served elsewhere.

Amazing service and even better food! The Stew was very good! Location is big so plenty of space!

Delicious Korean dishes nicely prepared and served. The seafood pancake is my favourite. Lots of seating with a busy vibe. Staff are friendly and service is fast. Parking is a bit of an issue and don't forget to give the server your plate number.

Great food. Looks a lot nicer on the inside than outside. Felt authentic. They have areas with the lower tables to allow you to sit on the floor.

A real hidden gem of a restaurant attached to a building displaying the words "Calgary Korean Community Centre." Han Corea is a very small space seating maybe 25 diners with a staff that gets your order to you quickly and efficiently. If you're coming looking for fancy digs, it's not the place. If you're coming for a fantastic meal that will warm your soul, it sure worked for us. A party of five of us came before the Alberta Shootout and ordered a scallion pancake and Bulgogi Jeongol, hot pot consisting of bulgogi beef marinated in soy (utterly mouth watering, delicious) with sweet potato noodles, tofu, rice cake and vegetables. An order for four easily sated the 5 of us. The appetizers were also delightful with the anchovy with sweet raisins a favorite. Hot pot dining can be as good as the savory broth prepared for it, and ours was first-rate. The meat took on a savory, almost sweetness that with the broth and rice made for serious bit of comfort food impossible to resist. With only one dine under our belt, we all agreed this is a must return destination. Credit cards accepted, small lot parking, small dining area. Might be a good idea to call ahead to make sure space is available for your party but don't believe they take reservations. Definitely worth seeking out.

The area is pretty run down looking - but to be fair, most of calgary seemed to look pretty run down. There's maybe 10-15 parking spaces outside- but when I went most of them were empty. The inside is also rather small, they seat maybe 7 tables each with 2-4 people per table. There's tons of traditional Korean decorations everywhere. The staff is also all Korean and greet you in Korean. There's unlimited high quality purple bean rice. The sides are nothing to write home about other than the macaroni salad. They had an interesting take on it by adding imitation crab - I'm not sure I liked that part. Otherwise it's similar to the chain BCD tofu. The ever popular seafood pajeon (a pancake-like dish) is made extremely thick and therefore isn't crispy at all like pajeon normally is. I don't really recommend this item. Interestingly there's a bulgogi dish with vegetables and noodles (thin, clear). Makes the dish much more hearty. The flavor and quality was pretty good. Seafood tofu soup. They do a great job of making it spicy if you ask. The flavoring has that umami feel. Overall, not overwhelmingly amazing. A bit on the pricey side. They do have a very wide range of menu items and some pretty authentic items that aren't normally regularly provided in Korean restaurants. Service is fine - didn't meet anyone rude or anyone particularly amazing either.

Amazing 10/10 Korean food. I ordered the following - Mul naengmyeon/cold buckwheat noodle. It is slightly sweet and sour. Noodles are very chewy and "Q" and is a very pleasant dish. Highly recommend for those who enjoy cold buckwheat noodles -soondae gukbap (soup with tripe, pork, and Korean sausage). It is my favorite today. The broth is boiled to milky white and is so good to the last drop. I find most pork broths in Korean restaurants aren't boiled for this long to be this flavorful. I taste no MSG and is not salty. It's just a fragrant and creamy pork broth flavor, which makes it hard to be so good when it's so simple. For those who enjoy bone broth, definitely try it out. The Korean sausages are also very tasty. I believe it's blood sausage with clear noodles in it. The pork and tripe/intestine slices are very generous portions and go great with the chili dip provided. -Osam Bulgogi (hot plate pork and squid) is also very tasty. It's oilier and stronger flavor so I decided to just take it to go since the portions are too much for 2 people. Very delicious too. The sides are also very delicious, which is also why I find this restaurant outstanding. I wish there's one in the East Bay Area in NorCal! Notes to myself: Hot plate pork and squid。很香。好吃。好大盤 Cold buckwheat noodles. 超Q. 酸甜的清湯涼麵 Pork soup with Korean sausage, tripe, pork。好鮮好香。慢慢喝 越喝越香。血腸麵條好香。然後料好多。沾著紅辣椒醬。

Really a gem when it comes to authentic Korean food. The moment I walked into the place almost all the clients I see are Koreans. This shows that the food here is authentic. The menu are bilingual in both Korean and English. Price is average and not too expensive. It's located In a place that looks more like an industrial park, not a typical place where you would expect to find a good Korean restaurant. Food is really delicious and the Gamjatang I ordered is fantastic.

Excellent authentic Korean restaurant with a variety of choices. A hidden gem in a secluded area in the SE. great service and friendly people.

Was skeptical about Korean food in YYC. A pleasant surprise at Han Corea, which is a short drive from Chinook shopping center in the SW. If you cringe at animal intestines and internal organs as food, you may want to turn the first page containing a variety of soups. I had a pork bone soup with pork blood and cabbage, and it was a bit salty. Good news is that rice is free for all. My friend had number one, and it had a more pure soup broth, but again, it was full of "intestines". Portions are generous so keep that in mind! The meal came with more than 6 small cold dishes to share, oddly, it was my favorite part because they were delicious and well-prepared.

My most favorite Korean food in the city now! Authentic and legit. Wish they had Korean fried chicken on the menu lol, only thing missing!! It's very far from my house but close to work so don't have it very often. Really love the cold noodles, bibimbap, and the spicy soup with Tteokbokki. The side dishes are awesome. Large portions. Do find the online menus not consistent and hard to know what you are ordering but I guess that's part of the charm! Must try if you haven't.

One of my favourite places in the city to grab some Korean food. The location is a bit unorthodox as its located in an area primarily dominated by warehouses but don't let that deter you. Its about a 4-5 minute drive from Chinook mall and theres some free parking available next to the restaurant. Its a small place with a cozy vibe and their rotating side dishes (usually around 6 sides) keep things interesting. I would avoid peak hours as it can get quite busy! My go to here is the Gamjatang (I wish they had potatoes in the soup though!!) and there's unlimited rice (self serve). The BBQ dishes here are huge and can be split between 3 people depending on appetites. This is my go to place if I'm unsure of where I want to eat or if I want some good comfort food. I would say its about $30ish for 2 people.

The restaurant was a little hard to find in the dark. Small restaurant with very homie feel. The restaurant and the menu are very authentic Korean. Love all the side dishes and all the food that we order. The pork and squid could have been even better if there's more squid!

This place is legit. Han Corea is in the middle of nowhere; an industrial hidden gem. It reminds me a lot of Won Jung Gak (in Edmonton) in terms of whereabouts. We came on a Friday evening around 7:45pm. The place was packed so we had to put our names down and waited about 15 minutes to snag a spot. The inside is small but charming. Some Korean talk show had all the Koreans inside enthralled. Good to see majority of the people were Korean. The hours are exceptional. Open till 1:00am everyday except Sunday (12:00am). Service is pretty solid. There's unlimited water, tea and rice but it's self serve. Just walk up to the counter and help yourself. Wish the water glasses were a bit bigger. Menu is actually smaller than normal. Lots of items were blocked out. - Banchan - really impressed with all the banchan that they brought out. 8 different types total; bean sprouts, marinated egg, daikon and seaweed, soy sauce dipping sauce, mushrooms, salad, kimchi and cold style pancake. - Seafood pancake (#18) ($14.95) - green onion, vegetables and squid. Massive for the price! We didn't even finish half. Crispy outside texture and tasty filling. - Spicy chicken bulgogi (#12) ($17.95) - chicken slathered in spicy red pepper paste with onions underneath. Wasn't that spicy but chicken was tender and flavourful. - Bulgogi stew (#31) ($43.98) - stew with bulgogi, tofu, enoki mushrooms, sliced carrots, onion, green onion, rice cakes and cellophane noodles. To quote L, the broth was unexpectedly delicious. Very peppery and aromatic, great depth and flavour. The bulgogi was very chewy. Different but still good. The menu says it's good for 2-3 people but you can easily share for 4. Delicious. Solid Korean spot. Would come back for sure. Especially for some late night eats.

This place is SMALL. When we came here there was a long wait. But WORTH THE WAIT. The service is very...difficult at times. We tried numerous times to get the waitress' attention and either did not make eye contact OR they gave a curt dismissive response. This was the one negative we all felt. We ordered a large gamja-tang (pork bone soup), naengmaeyun (cold noodle), and tteok-bokki (spicy rice cakes). Everything was delicious, rice (purple rice) and water is self serve and unlimited. This was a great surprise meal and definitely in one of my top for restaurants. Highly recommend!

As a half Korean, I'm always craving Korean food. My mom (full Korean) and I popped in for lunch while we were in the neighborhood. In terms of atmosphere, it's authentically Korean. The staff are all Korean, the majority of customers are Korean and the restaurant setup makes you feel like you're walking into a restaurant in a small Korean town. The water and rice is self-serve which was kind of nice since we were parched. We then ordered the spicy stir-fried squid and pork that serves 2. While our food was cooking, the server brought an assortment of side dishes (called or banchan). The fish cake side dish was especially good! Our food arrived shortly after on a sizzling hot plate. Unfortunately, the dish itself was lacking a bit of flavor. There was a hint of sweetness and spice but it didn't pack the punch I'm used to having in Korea. Plus it was swimming in oil. Overall it was good though and the portion was decently large (my mom and I don't eat much but we had a lot leftover). I would definitely recommend if you're looking for an authentic small town Korean restaurant experience in Calgary! The flavor may not be as intense as the real stuff though!

Horrible service, the girl who can not speak English give us a very hard time, she is being so rude to ask us not come in just because we checked how long we need to wait for 2 times. If you cannot give us an estimated wait time, and what's the problem we checked by ourselves?

Han Corea is a small korean eatery that offers all you can eat rice and self serve water/tea/drinks. This is pretty common in Korea, but not in North America so this might confuse customers that are still waiting for their server to ask what they would like to drink. The eatery atmosphere is not that great as the decorations and setup of the dinning room is simplistic. The walls are in need of wiping down and overall the eatery needs some sort of revamping. But that is the only low point of Han Corea. The food is superb! I have been to Korea multiple times and it's hard to find a korean restaurant in Calgary that serves authentic korean food. We ordered the squid and pork with spicy sauce and it was enough for 3 or 4 people in my opinion. The serving portions are quite large and is great for sharing. You also get side dishe with your order, which is a usual in all Korean restaurants. I am looking forward to try their spicy rice cakes and seafood pancakes. Overall, I definitely recommend Han Corea, but just be prepared that the location gives a "hole in the wall" feeling, and that this does not at all affect the quality of their dishes.

We were a bit confused trying to find the restaurant and thought maybe google maps was trolling us, but I'm glad we made it at around 10 pm at night. There was a huge crowd of Korean people inside and it felt rather festive. I simply adore Han Corea- even the fact that you serve yourself as much rice and water as you want. It felt very homely. I've also never had so many side dishes brought out on the house at a Korean restaurant. Most of them were delicious except the cold egg-battered zucchini was a little bit weird. There was a dish with Konjac cubes, soy sauce and seaweed which was fun to eat. The cabbage kimchi was also slightly different from what I've had- it had an interesting funky flavour. My favourite was the slightly sweet kimchi pickled daikon though! We ordered a beef bulgogi and the soup for drinkers which had Korean sausage, intestine, mushroom, bean sprouts and slices of fatty pork. The beef bulgogi was fragrant with medley of Asian ingredients, and it was on the sweeter side. My companion said it was the best he'd ever had, but I found it a tad too sweet for a savory dish. The soup for drinkers was also fabulously funky, maybe in part from the offal meats in the soup. There wasn't actually any intestines, it was more like stomach. The casing of the Korean sausages (Sundae) were likely intestines, and I found it too chewy. There were noodles and pork blood inside. Overall, the soup was incredibly flavourful! Han Corea has become my new favourite Korean restaurant.

The portions are bigger than you think!!, after spending 9month in Seoul for work, this took me right back. The food was great and tasted authentic!! The location is cozy and the service was fantastic. I had the seafood pancake (which was twice as think than I have ever seen), the Bimbap, and spicy chicken bulgogi... for 2 people we were stuffed with leftovers! !!

Delicious korean food. Very authentic. Very traditional. Great for groups. You get unlimited amounts of rice, water, tea and korean side dishes that includes pickled vegetables, salad, potato salad and kimchi. However, the rice, water, and tea is self serve. Cheap pricing considering the amount of food is given. Small space so reserved a table beforehand. Easy parking and near by chinook mall if you need a walk after eating.

Homey ambience, authentic comfort food. I had the pork bone soup, as usual. And Simon had seafood pancake, as usual. Everything was flavourful and well seasoned. There was parilla powder in the soup, and the pancake (deep fried which was a little odd) had lots of green onions :) Water is self serve on the side, parking can be a little tight, but don't let the details deter you, the food is worth it :)

Legit korean food. The rice and water is self serve. We came here twice and ordered the Soondae Soup, Fried Octopus with Ttaekboki, and fried squid. The meals are priced well and comes with a large assortment of banchans that you can ask for refills. I enjoyed the restaurant and the vibes. My Korean wife claims this is the best korean place in Calgary, so that's a fact! !

Authentic. Delicious. Off the beaten path but worth it. Small space is always full, and they also offer takeout.

I love that they recycle their used Chopsticks with a local company called Chopvalue !

We got takeout from here and for Calgary I have to give this place a solid 4. Part of this is because there are many items you can get there that you will never see in more westernised Korean joints... items with all the innards that most North American folk throw in the bin. The place itself is a hole in the wall and very casual. Service seemed friendly enough, but if you're eating in you should be aware it's the kind of place you get most things yourself... tea, rice, etc.... in other words, self-serve. We ordered a seafood pancake and the spicy pork and squid. They included one small container of each banchan (side dishes) as well. The red bean rice was pretty stingy I thought... but I think it's all you can eat rice if your eating there. The seafood pancake was delicious and most definitely best eaten straight away! Nice crisp outside and soft inside, with the occasional crunch/chew you get from squid (I still can't figure out how to describe the texture of well cooked squid or octopus). It came with a nice tasty dip with lots of acidity that helped cut through the grease, but this is definitely a share plate. Eating a whole one would feel... not great. It had a decent amount of seafood in it, although I wouldn't say the seafood quality was anything really good... but better than I've seen in lots of other places that use crappy frozen mixed seafood where the mussels are mushy and odd tasting which makes me inclined to spit them out..... like a small child... but I don't... I suck it up and make a funny face while I swallow them whole... anyways, what I was trying to say was that the seafood was fine... in as long and ranty a way as possible... The spicy pork and squid is very expensive but the serving size is massive! It could easily serve 3 or 4 as a main with rice I think. It was nice and spicy and the flavour was savoury and delicious. The pork and squid were both cooked well. The only thing is that this dish is insanely oily. If light or refreshing is what you're going for.... this is not it! Kimchi, seaweed, and bean sprout banchan were nicely seasoned and perfectly cooked. I found the fish cake banchan a little bland but that could also be because everything else I had was in flavour country! All in all, meal was heavy... but was delicious! My only regret is that they didn't seem to offer more affordable half portions on the menu... but to be fair I didn't ask either. I would go with at least 3 people if you were to eat here, otherwise portions may be too large... but I do love leftovers! Enjoy!

Small Korean restaurant out in the middle of nowhere with decent food. I went on a Wednesday evening and it seemed pretty empty and hard to find in the dark. The menu was more unique, I haven't seen a lot of items on the menu. Even the free side dishes I haven't had a few of them before. Ended up getting chicken bulgogi and it came out to be fairly big proportion. Flavour wise it was good. Rice and water was unlimited self served refill which was different. Probably worth checking out again if I am in the area.

Definately one of the hidden gems of Calgary, and then some. Heck, in the 2 visits, my group was literally the only ones eating there. Months ago, I visited Han Corea, a little Korean restaurant tucked away in an industrial sector of Fairview inside the Calgary Korean Association building. What we found surprised us, as it basically was as if we were transported to a street cafe in the middle of some suburb of Seoul, far from the tourist areas. The cooks, the signs and even the menus were entirely in Korean, with nary an English sign anywhere. Fortunately back then, a couple dining there took pity on us and helped us to a great inexpensive meal! I've wanted to return for months, but I didn't know anyone else who could read or speak Korean, and just pointing at the menus struck me as a little bit too haphazard. But things changed this week as I organized another dinner. It was a cold night, and nothing like a warm kimchi soup as comfort food. Thankfully, my Aunt and fellow yelper Eswina N., had a friend, Nori who was a native speaker and came to join us. So with Nori's help, myself, my gal, @VincciT of @ciawesome, Yelper/Aunt Eswina N. and Yelper @theaimlesscook enjoyed an incredible meal at Han Corea. We first started with the kimchi stew and a pork soup. The stew was just as memorable as the first time. A perfect balance of heat and spice came together to form a soup that just screams Korea in every sense of the word. Just enough of a bite to the palate, it was bursting with the flavours of the vinegar, hot spice and the vegetable. And the pork soup was no slouch other. While not exactly very seasoned, it came with a great selection of hot and salty sauces that allowed the diner try the soup as they preferred to their taste preferences. Next came a festival of bulgogi dishes, with a beef bulgogi, LA ribs bulgogi, a squid and pork bulgogi and a pork skin bulgogi served one by one, each as tasty and rich in flavour as the next. Some were spicy, some were sweet, but all were delicious, as the Korean flavours were bright and strong with each bite. Add the great complimentary selection of pickled dishes and unlimited white rice, the food just spoke volumes on the culture and the joys of home cooking. And just when we thought we were done, the restaurant made an interesting additional dish, a sun dae or Korean vermicelli roll mixed with pork blood and liver complete with a dipping salt. As odd as that sounds, it was simply yummy in every sense of the word. Now how much was such a feast for six people? $140 you say? $150? Nope... it was $80 after tax. Yep, that's it. Dinner for 6 with 7 courses, unlimited rice and pickled side vegetables and tea and coffee (also unlimited) cost us $80. Even after adding a generous tip, it was still only $16 a person. Where the heck in Calgary can you have a 7 course dinner, and pay only $16? I just love this place, and hope to organize a new group soon! Update #6 of Yelp's 30-Day Challenge

Han Corea is one of my fav. spot for korean food. They offer a lot of options but be careful portions are really large! good for group of 4, perfect for sharing!! Got the meat stew, perfect for a cold winter day.

This is a hidden gem! Big portions with an affordable price and rice refills! This place gave me a nice cozy home feeling, such a lovely restaurant.

came across here coincidentally but i'm so glad i did!! some of the best korean food i've had in a while. it was very authentic and the side dishes were immaculate. would 100% recommend to anyone in the calgary area!!!!

Visited twice, love this place! very korean! Not very big, but can fit big groups of ppl. there's a corner for everyone to get drinks, water and rice (self serve) Reasonable price, open late, and the food is good.

Good Korean Food. Small restaurant, and located in the industry area. Good price and value. You order main dishes, and self served rice, water and tea (as much as you want). Authentic korean food. Love it.

I'm always on the look out for a new Korean restaurant to try out. Upon Yelping Korean food, Han Corea popped up. It's in sort of an industrial part of southeast Calgary. The place itself isn't anything fancy, more like a hole in the wall diner feeling. The restaurant itself holds maybe 40 or so people. I had ordered the beef bulgogi, and the seafood pancake. The beef bulgogi is served on a hotplate and comes with beef, glass noodles, onion, and carrots. It actually is similar in taste to Japanese sukiyaki. Nonetheless it was very tasty. The seafood pancake, is made up of flour, green onions and squid. It's served with a soy based sauce also tasty. The rice and water are free as well as the side dishes that accompany your entree. The free rice is located by the entrance on a table which is a blend of both white and black rice giving it a coloring which is almost redish/purple. your food comes with more than your typical Korean side dishes ie: bean sprouts, kimchee, and daikon. They have 6 side dishes in all and one of them being a root based vegetable, and another with fish cakes. Our server, I believe her name was Nae was very helpful in explaining the side dishes. I would like to add that she was attentive and willing to explain the dishes that were on the menu. I will be back for sure in the future.

Delicious Korean food! A total hole in the wall and quite frankly we thought that our Google Maps had failed us when we arrived outside because you would never think that there would be a restaurant in that area but there sure is! It's quite a small restaurant so be prepared to wait a little bit if you're going during peak dining hours. They have self-serve tea and rice which I can only assume is to help the fact that they're completely understaffed. We ordered the spicy squid and pork and it was amazing. The pork was thinly sliced and had a very nice texture. And all of the mini dishes were amazing as well. Between my hubby and I that was more than enough food and we're both fairly big eaters. The only reason that I docked it one star was the service. As I mentioned above, it's completely understaffed and when we walked into the restaurant at around 9PM, although the restaurant was half empty, the emptied tables had yet to be waited and we couldn't be seated for another 5 minutes. It was also really hard to find someone to help you since it seems like their servers spend most of the time in the kitchen. Overall, the food was great but if you're coming here, don't expect to be in and out quickly. Would definitely come back if we're ever in Calgary again.

This place is a hidden gem. This was my first time dining at a Korean restaurant, and boy was I not disappointed. The food was great, it was well priced, and the portion sizes were big. I had the Spicy Chicken Bulgogi. The only critique I have with this dish is that I wish it was a tad bit spicier. But overall everything was delicious! They offer free rice and water refills! I wish everyone served free rice refills! I would definitely make this restaurant one of my go to's when I'm in Calgary!

This place is really good. It is in a far-flung corner of the city in the industrial area surrounded by warehouses. If you really want to impress friends with your knowledge of local spots, take them here. This is a complete hole in the wall, but very popular with the local Korean crowd. It is even open until 1AM on weekdays which is unheard of especially in a quiet area of town like this one. Seafood pancake was delicious and unlike any others that I have tried in the city. We also ordered the hot pot to share. There were 4 of us and we could barely finish it. Prices aren't the cheapest, but the food quality is stellar and would come here again. The service can be a tad slow especially during busy periods, so be forewarned!

hot and spicy is most of the dishes. The portion is rather large, be sure not to order to much. I got stir fired bacon, stir fried port feet( spicy), and a meat lover pot. Too much for 3 people I would say. Dinner time has a lot of customers. Make sure to come early

Came here with my extended family when they came to visit from Toronto and we were looking for some authentic Korean food. The water and rice are complimentary which you go and fill by yourself. We ordered a couple of things which I don't remember the name of but it was all delicious and very authentic. The portion sizes are larger than you'd think! We didn't really know what to order so we asked the people around us and they gave good recommendations. The place is however quite small and there's always a line up at the door especially for weekends so it's definitely not good for large groups. We had a total of 8 people and made a reservation but there seemed to be issues with getting enough space for us. I'd recommend to come here and try out the food in small groups and maybe even make a reservation for groups larger than 4. They do have some picnic tables outside as well that I think you can sit at. They have a small private parking lot that shared with the surrounding stores so it's very limited and also has some limited street parking. All in all, food was good but the place is quite small

This is ridiculous!!! Last night we waited inside the small restaurant for more than 1hour and end up they let the people far later came to go head of us! Unbelievable!!! Won't go back again! We waited in line for more than one hour, no staff came over to greet. We waited quietly for our turn but they let the people behind us to go in! Maybe because the people behind us were Korean. Ridiculous! We left right away. Won't go back definitely!

2018. 04. 23. I had a lunch with my previous manager nearby the Chinook Center. The name of the restaurant called Han Corea Korean Restaurant, which is a small Korean Restaurant, is hidden in the community in front of Chinook Mall. It's a friendly family based Korean Restaurant, which services surprised and authentic Korean Dishes. Besides that, it offers free self-serve water, tea, and rice, which is a nice! We arrived the restaurant right after 12 pm on the weekday. It was still very busy. But, we were very lucky and found the table fast. We had very amazing experience eating at this restaurant. We only ordered the pork bone Stew with bulgogi, tofu, enoki mushrooms,  onion, green onion, rice cakes and cellophane noodles to share. The taste of the soup was great depth and flavour. The bulgogi was very chewy. It was a super large portion, which could serve more than 3 people. The small cold dishes were great too, which were including bean sprouts, marinated egg, daikon and seaweed, soy sauce dipping sauce, mushrooms, salad, kimchi and cold style pancake. They were tasty and authentic. The owner and servers of the restaurant are all Korean. I guess that's why the food at Han Corea Restaurant are authentic and delicious. Highly Recommend people to try out Han Corea Korean Restaurant.

What a hidden secret! My Hubbie and I really enjoyed their food. Korean dishes we tried was spicy soft tofu soup and seafood pancake and both were so tasty and flavorful. The pancake is unlike any other Korean restaurant we have been. They also have quite unique items you don't see typically in Korean restaurants. Which is great because we enjoy "authentic" foods. We live 30 mins away and we will definitely drive here next time we want Korean food. Yum!

Beast Korean food in Calgary. It's always my first choice for the Korean food. I wish I could eat it every day.

Legit! Does not feel like you are sitting in a South Calgary industrial park. If you like Korean grub this is worth checking out for sure.

I really like this place a lot of excellent sizzling dishes. if you want some authentic Korean fare. then this is definitely one of the best places to go in Calgary.

Disappointed. Not too sure what the rave is all about. My boyfriend and I arrived for dinner on a Saturday around 7:00 p.m. We waited about 15 minutes for a table, were seated and given menus. I proceeded to get water for my boyfriend and I and then returned to my seat to look through the menu. A few minutes later the waitress told us we had to change our seats because of another party and re-seated us accordingly. We continued to look at the menu and upon reading reviews on Yelp, we ordered the bulgogi and the spicy pork with squid dishes. Our food arrived in a timely manner but we noticed that there was no pork in our dish. We were quite hungry so didn't say anything. When we went up to get rice the cooker was empty and there was no rice. The waitress explained that it would take about 7 more minutes for the rice to be ready. Not even 3 minutes later the rice was 'ready' and put into the rice cooker to be served. There was a line up in the rice cooker/water/tea serving area and I noticed some people looked at the rice and walked away. When it was my turn, I realized that the rice was very watery and under cooked. I took some rice and went back to my seat. The waitress then came by and took away our spicy pork dish and explained that it had been meant for the table next to us. She only realized this because the next door table told her theirs didn't have any pork. So she took our dish away and replaced it promptly with the other table's order. I was not impressed by the quality or taste of the food, especially for how much it cost. The bulgogi was average at best and the spicy squid and pork dish wasn't anything that I couldn't have made better at home myself.

Delicious !!! Spicy meat lover stew was the bomb !!! Lots of meat lots of veg lots of side dishes :) prep ur belly before u go to this place :) unlimited tea /water and rice !

I love this place. It's unassuming, unpretentious and just downright delicious. It is the mother of all things coined "hole in the wall." It's a family owned and run joint, and the place before this restaurant was open was probably not a restaurant. Even cooler. Even though the menu has English, no one here actually speaks English so just point. Self serve rice and water, utensils are in the box at the end of each table. Get your own drinks from the cooler. They have bek soju, raspberry (I think) soju, and chamisul. Hite is always the beer of choice at Korean joints. I've had almost ever dish here, and you have my word when I say NOTHING on the menu is below DELICOUS level. Order the pork and squid bulgogi (spicy) and thank me later. The meat is always quality, and the soup is always piping hot. The older lady will come by and harass you a bit if she sees left over food, but you won't understand her because it's in Korean and she does it with a huge smile so it's all good. But don't break her heart and finish you meal ok?

Not bad for a first timer at the restaurant. I placed a reservation at 7pm, but we got there quarter after 6. Since I've read some reviews about the small restaurant's size and sitting capacity, I've expected that we won't have a seat right away. But anyways, we got a table after 15 mins of wait, which for me is not so bad as I've expected even longer wait. The food was a bomb! It definitely paid off the wait. The service was really great - so much faster than I've expected. Although there were just the two servers doing all the front works, our food got to our table no longer than 15 mins. after being seated. All in all, it was a great experience. 4 stars, as I wished they had bigger space and more tables and chairs. But keep up the great service

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend on Friday night it was soooo packed. Make reservations!!!!! They don't speak good English here but they were super friendly. Food was so good. We had the spicy squid and pork....yummy. Portions are really big and its self serve all you can eat red bean rice. Will come back again but with a big group so we can try more items.

It is the best Korean restaurant in calgary! They give out so many types of appetizer for free! Love them all. The portion sizes are pretty big, go with all your friends. Will defines come back, awesome taste!
