There is no Korean restaurant in the Lower Mainland I have found that competes with Goru Goru Food (고루고루) on taste and price. It's a small deli (meaning its best to takeout) that delivers through Ubereats or you can pick up in Poco at 3270 Coast Meridian. They used to be in the Henderson Mall in Coquitlam. The absolute best 제육덮밥 (Spicy Pork with Rice) I have ever had and that's after 5 years living in Korea. Their 떡볶이 (Spicy Rice Noodle) is exactly what you would get from a rated food truck in Seoul and not over priced like many in Canada.The storefront looks unassuming but there is magic in the food and lots of pre-made frozen options available as well. And the prices are more than competitive!!

I love Korean food and this place is awesome, I love it. I’ve had some food here before and everything I tried is great. However my favourite thing here is the kimchi! I’m no expert by any means but all store bought ones or even some restaurant ones, usually serve it and I usually find them not as fresh, or over fermented.Gorugoru Food has the best kimchi I’ve tried so far!! Will definitely reorder, my 2 litre jar goes quick!

We had a great last-minute dinner party at home, and it turned out AWESOME! We had the quests who never tried Korean food before, and I thought it would be a good idea to serve some appetizers for Korean food and decided to order dishes from here.First up, the fried chicken with soy honey glazed, It was tangy, sweet, and packed flavors. It was the crowd's pleasure! ?Kimbob - Ordered 3 flavors ( Beef, veggies, and spicy pork). They are all delicious, but my favorite kimbob was spicy pork. You should give it a try. ?Then came the galbi ( braised short beef rib) tender slices of marinated beef short rib that were so juicy. ?And let's not forget about the bulgogi (Marinated with Korean BBQ sauce with thinly sliced beef) - I ordered them ready to cook package so it was nice to serve our guests the hot meat on the spot. Too bad that I don’t have pictures of bulgogi, but They are yummy with rice and kimchi ( kimchi and rice come with a braised short beef ribs dish). The owner also sent us some veggies to stir-fry with the meat as well.If you're in the mood for a taste of Korean foods or something different for your gathering or party, I would recommend this place. ??

Great food. Staff are always very kind.I love Kimbob and short rib soup(Galbi tang).Recommend!!This is the restaurant I go to when I miss Korean home-cooked meals. The owner is friendly and communicates well!All of the side dishes are full of sincerity, and I like them because they are authentic, home-made side dishes that don’t taste like seasoning.Especially the kimbap and galbitang are very delicious. I've tried ordering rib stew at other places, but it's the same again and again.Please keep the quality the same ?

Delicious Korean side dishes! We had a great family dinner thanks to Gorugoru food. Recommend trying their food if you want to taste authentic Korean banchans (side dishes).

Ordered three kimbaps - chili pepper & kimchi, bulgogi and regular. Best kimbaps especially the chili pepper & kimchi which is not commonly found at restaurants. They were made to order, making the seaweed crispy even though it was brushed with sesame oil. The rice was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was Chuseok so they had fresh made songpyeon. Korean friends confirmed that this was legit tteok, soft and chewy. Picked up a jar of chonggak kimchi to try also. Radishes had a nice crunch when biting into it and were pickled just enough. Spicy and sweet with notes of saltiness from fish sauce.

Whenever I'm craving authentic Korean flavors, this is my go-to spot. The braised pork with aged kimchi(묵은지김치찜) and the Spicy black cod stew(은대구무조림) are to die for!
Tried their kimbap and kimchi today!!!! It was veeeeery delicious!!! Staff are very accommodating and friendly too! Kimchi is very authentic and perfect seasoning! Very reasonable price! Definitely coming back for more! Recommend it to everyone who wants to try Korean dishes ? ?
