Service was not good, server seemed to have an attitude. We asked the server if a dish had meat in it and she said it had pork meat, however when we were served the dish, there was no pork and when we clarified it with her, she mentioned that the soup is pork based which was not what we were asking about at all. Also, the server didn’t seem very attentive. The food was okay but the service could be improved. Won’t be coming back again and wouldn’t recommend this place to others.

Average chicken in Coquitlam. We ordered bone in but lot of pieces were mostly bone. Sauce is decent but too sweet. Rice cake and sausage was good though.Service is okay.

Only ordered twice through ubereats, so I didn't take photos yet but the food was really authentic and came in generous portion.Will update with photos when I dine in as well - but I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering a few more times in the near future!I recommend the Pork Hock Salad(냉채족발) - it was as good as having one back in Korea.- Five spice pork long feet (오향족발) was decent, too, but I wish it had little more flavour.- DDukbokki (떡볶이) was pretty good. It wasn't too spicy but had a kick. Stay away if you don't know what you are getting. Maybe try it when you don't have work the next day :P

Good food, good service. They won’t disappoint us with their service, and food is mostly delicious. One thing is that in the fried chicken.. there are almost no chicken. It’s just oil, and flour (fried). I understand chicken is expensive, but I hope they improve this. Good place to eat!

If you know it's a bar in a Korean neighborhood, it's just that atmosphere. Food comes out quickly and neatly. I was explained that I could only eat and drink for 2 hours due to space issues. If there is no wait.. I don't know :) Great place to have a drink or have a first stop. I went with my family and the kids ate well. Note that there are many types.We ordered and ate two bomb-like steamed eggs.

Over the years, Vesta has become our go to place for Korean food. They don’t have everything we love about Korean food, but everything they have is the best version we have tried so far. Our favorites are the spicy pork with veggies, seafood tofu soup, stir fried chicken with soy sauce, kimchi fried rice, chive pancake and all versions of the cold noodle dish. And the most mouth watering spicy octopus with noodles is not just a dish but an experience worth sharing. Most of their negative reviews were not about the food but the tipping, but come on, a tip less than 15% is an insult to the quality of food and the same people working there every day. Like most Korean restaurants, there is a bell on the table for service calls. We never had any problem getting the service or food using the bell. Please respect their way of doing business and leave your negativity outside the door.
Wowww it was the first time to try Korean food, amazing, I loved it the best test ❤️

Tried the food for the first time tonight. The fried chicken is good as well as the pork trotter. Overall we were pleased with the portions and the taste of the food.Unfortunately, what ruined our evening there was a server who, at the end of the dinner, noticed that we had not tipped over 15%. She then proceeded to call us out and tell us we should have tipped more and to do so for next time. Yet we were only a party of 4 (it's a small restaurant) and there was no indication that this was a policy at the restaurant. The service was not very good as we never got asked if we needed refills of side dishes or water, nor did she stop by our table to check on how we were doing or how the food was. She also didn't smile very much so... yeah. Next time you ask for a larger tip, perhaps consider providing better service to your customers. Especially when we are sitting right in front of the kitchen. She wasn't unpleasant, but calling out your customers for a tip, which is up to the customer, is pretty poor practice.Likely won't be coming back due to some poor customer service.Edit - looks like another table who were there at the same time as us also got called out, this time for not tipping at all.

Worst customer service ever. Honestly If I had an option I wouldn't even give them one star.The girl who was serving us took forever to take our order, when the food arrived the whole time she didn't once check up on us and ask us if we need anything!!For getting the bill, I had to go and get her and ask her. At the end when we didn't tip her she had the audacity asking us why there's no tip!!!!I'm never ever going back again and never recommending the place!!The food was ok. I would say 5/10

This is the best Korean food that I have never had in BC.The food is so fresh and delicious. I went with my friends and all of us are satisfy with food and services. I definitely will come back again.
