Location: Inside Greenland's supermarket situated on the NE side of Rainbow and Spring Mtn. Nice exterior decor of distinct Asian elements that can't be missed as you drive north on Rainbow or west on Spring Mtn.
As you walk into the Greenland market, you'll see a nice spread of sweets on the left from a bakery and past it, the food court to the right. The food court is spacious and presents a great spread and variety of food like Han's Chicken and Pizza with interesting Sweet Potato twist or sushi rolls from other vendors. There's also the staple Korean BBQ offered by few vendors that is accompanied by side dishes and/or tofu soup with prices that are on average $15 (can be portioned out to 2 meals for me).
After working in the cold for the last few days, my body was begging for hot soup and notably a spicy one. So, after previous visits to the food court with no signs of any vendors selling jampong (spicy seafood soup), I was surprise that on this particular shopping visit, I came across a new addition to the food court that served Korean and Chinese dishes. This was the only food vendor that offered this delectable treat at a great price of $8.95 for a big bowl. As usual, the bowl contained a generous portion of various seafood ingredients like shrimp and calamari along with side dishes of neon yellow radishes, onions, and black bean paste...and of course the staple kimchi. However, having tried it at restaurants, I was put off by the fact that they used spaghetti noodle rather than the thick udon like noodles. For most, it might not have been noticed if they haven't haven't had this frequently, but for me it changed the notion of the soup. At first taste, it seemed watered down, but after continuous taste of the soup, the heat of the spice started to kick in. I couldn't complain as much since I was hungry and recovering from a cold and I did happily enjoy the hot & spicy combo of the soup. I did, however, could care less for the overly fermented kimchi.
Takeaway: If you want a quick bite of Asian food with great variety this would be the ideal place. Not a very intimidating place to come by yourself, but also more enjoyable with a company of people to be able to eat some of the big family style meals and be apart of the communal spirit of the Asian culture.
