Dolpan Seoul BBQ - Richmond

My family just had a terrible experience in this korean resturant last evening. We arrived at 5.30pm on time and started to eat at 5.45pm ish. Ordered about $100 food for our meal and the waitress started to push us to pay the bill at 6.25pm by leaving the bill on our table without asking, and even offering us a takeout box for the rest of food on the table, which we didn't ask for either. and also taking any plate immediately if she saw the plate is empty. Well, we know there were more customers coming. But seriously? You don't even give one hour to us to finish our dinner? Not even mention we got two little kids. By the way, my kids were both quite. On more thing here. Their debit machine default tip rate is 15% at least, for all the above? Lol. However my wife still paid 15% tips just because it's my boy's birthday and we didn't wanna ruin it but the resturant truely did. :

Great food however this is a restaurant for two or more, I came alone therefore my choices were limited. My server was really cooperative and was helpful in suggesting a couple of options, that said I did not get to experience the full bbq, well next time when I am in BC One more recommendation, call ahead and book a table

I’ve been to this place with my husband three times and I would always look forward to going back. I was tasked to pick a restaurant for dinner with visiting friends. Since we loved this place so much, I took my friends there. I was so happy that they loved it too! We had so much food and we were even pampered by our beautiful server Jae Hee (hope I spelled it right). Though your food is being grilled right in front of you, there was no smell of barbecue or splatter of oil on our clothes nor our hair after. That’s just awesome!

Interesting little shop that serves Korean Style BBQ and hot pots! I love their Korean Army Base Soup, it has almost everything under the Sun well almost , its the kind of food that you will have to try it before you will fall in love with it, it consist of a spicy kimchi soup base, with Spam, yes Spam, and instant noodles, processed cheese, rice cake and all the things that is not supposed to be healthy! But interestingly when put together its amazingly good! Come hungry as you will need to be, or you call up a friend or two to share!!

We were a group of 8 and were seated upstairs. We came Friday night on a hot summer evening and the ac was down. The restaurant was packed. You can cook your own meat on portable electric grills or they can. Our table had so much food so they cooked for us. The food was surprisingly not salty and overall very good. If I recall correctly we shared kimchi fried rice, seafood and green onion pancake, pork and beef bbq sampler, lava cheese omelet, veggie japchae, egg volcano, kimchi jigae stew.
