This place is for sure underrated. The food is amazing and the meals are big and tasty. Atmosphere is very cozy, staff friendly and pricesbare not crazy. You have few more expensive meals, but the rest is in $18-$25 range. Absolutely recommend if you are on Robson and looking for a good food.

Service was not great to be honest. I went there on a busy night and there were only two waitresses and i know that the service will be slow and i didn't mind that because i know how it is when there are so many customers and deliveries. But to the point that it wasn't even busy and the two waitresses was on their phone, chatting with their friends who came and forgot some of the orders that we didn't even receive yet is disappointing. There are several times i had to stare and even put up my hand to get their attention but to no avail it took at least 10min or so for them to come over. Food is good but service and quicker attention from the workers can be improved a little bit more.

We liked the meal (cold noodle and soup) but we ordered radish kimchi with extra $4, it was horrible. Too ripened and mushy! I don’t think all the Koreans who are working there would eat that. It was the taste that needs to be thrown away… So disappointing.

The spicy kimbap with fish cake is always too salty, and there were too many sweetpotate noodles in the stir-fried gopchang, so I'd rather have cabbage instead.

I used to dine in here a lot and sometimes order from Uber eats. The food qualify has gone downhill significantly. The soup I got was super watery and barely any tofu. It was very disappointing.
My fave cold weather comfort meal has got to be Budae Jjigae -- literally "army base stew". This staple originates from the Korean army bases but is now a popular dish enjoyed by all. It consists of copious amounts of meat (beef, sausage, luncheon, etc), instant noodles, cheese, kimchi, & more! The entire stew tastes so comforting & goes really well with rice & kimbap dipped!We got the Beef Brisket Budae Jjigae & it came so loaded with meats & other ingredients! Such a hearty & comforting meal! We also tried the Bacon & Egg Kimbap, a special kimbap without carbs. While this kimbap was quite unique since it didn't have rice, i think we will stick to getting regular kimbap next time.

Loved the location of the place, it matches with the solitude vibe as you go inside restaurant as it was was so cozy and welcoming.Ordered the kimchi jjigae and it was a win , really flavourful but I wished it had more soup to it , otherwise I enjoyed every bit of it. Their soy garlic chicken was tasty as well, really juicy.Environment wise , the place is organized , well set up and clean plus their washroom.Overall experience was great ! ?

I went there for lunch on the weekend. It was a bit inconvenient because there was no dedicated parking space, but I parked nearby and entered. The interior was great, the employees were quick and friendly, and the stone pot rice set was especially delicious, something I've never had before in Korea. I don't have any pictures because I was so amazed and hungry that I ate it. I really enjoyed it. The group room is also good, so I plan to hold my next meeting here.

Kosoo Korean Restaurant is the first Seoul food in Metro Vancouver specialized in trendy and modern Korean dining. I went to their Cardero location, this particular store focuses on Korean soul food classics, brings forth a diverse array of classic rice and noodle dishes, along with BBQ and comforting stews that warm the soul, which is perfect for the weather.Here is what we had:- Budaejjigae/Army Soup: Korean Sausage Stew with Spam, Bacon, Sausage, sliced beef, octopus and Kimchi topped with a slice of cheese- Cheese Chicken Galbi: Pan Fried Spicy Chicken Served with Mozzarella Cheese and Creamy Yam pure- Jin-Mi-Chae Gimbap: Seasoned shredded dried squid, spinach, egg, carrot, avocado, danmuji- Myeongran Jeot Gimbap: Salted Pollack Roe , Spinach, Egg , Carrot, Avocado, Danmuji (Pickled Radish) - Saero: Zero Sugar SojuAs the weather is getting chilly, I recommend getting Army Soup Stew. Known for soul food in Korean cuisine, it is such a soul-warming and comforting dish. The melding of various ingredients like spam, bacon, sausage, and other savory components in a bubbling pot of soup creates a flavorful and comforting experience. Honestly, the soup is quite salty after all the ingredients being cooked, but the bacon was my favorite part of the stew. Since the soup absorbs all the saltiness of the bacon, the bacon was soft and not salty at all. This dish can be easily overcook, so keep an eye of it and ask your server for help if needed. They also provide you with scissors on the side, for you to cut your meat and octopus. This stew can feed 3-4 people because it also comes with rice. Pairing it with a bowl of hot rice adds another level of comfort and completes the meal. This dish is so satisfying and such a good value for sharing. The Chicken Galbi comes with cheese and yam puree. The yam puree gave creamy, sweetness and smooth texture, which balanced out the spicness from the chicken. The cheese was a fun way to eat the chicken galbi.I liked how the galbi was not too oily and the sauce was not overpowering, the chicken was tender and cooked just right. Unlike the army soup stew, the chickken came fully cooked. The plate was placed on top of the petrolium jelly to warm up the cheese. At that time, we had some challenges to get our mozza cheese melted. In the end, it didnt get warm up enough, and the cheese still sticks. This dish can approximately feed 2 people. We also had some Gimbap. The lightness and freshness of gimbap provide a delightful contrast to the bold flavors of the Chicken Galbi and the Army Stew, adding diversity to the overall dining experience. We liked the dried squid kimbap more because they are more flavorful compare to pollack roe one. I found the pollack roe a bit fishy and the overall kimbap to be too bland. Dipping your kimbap into the Army Stew will added some flavor to the kimbap. For $12, the kimbap is huge. We also got few side dishes. :)The ambiance of the restaurant is very casual with traditional Korean decor. Once I get into the the restaurant I was greeted by the 2 servers. One of the servers were very helpful and always checks on us. I came at 6.30PM, and most of the tables were empty. At around 8PM, the restaurant was full house, but there were still no lineup. Since this place open til late night (11.30PM on weekdays and 1AM on weekends), this place can be a good place for drinking and hangout.
