Of the many Korean restaurants in this one block of Robson, this is my go-to place. Wonderful Dolsot Bibimbap, with the bowl hot enough to get a real sear on the rice.
We also really like their dumplings, and they have excellent kimchi.
Nice interior, good soundtrack, and friendly service.
This is an original sushi concept where hand rolls are prepared to order from a fixed menu consisting mostly of pre-prepared fish tartares. We tried the five-roll lunch, and the standouts were the scallop roll and the yellowtail roll. I also had an eel roll that was excellent. It was the only roll that involved a more traditional preparation of sushi, where the fish was seared to order. Service was fast and friendly.
Great ambiance and exactingly prepared nigiri is what Maumi is all about. Extensive sake list and some nice Champagnes.
Avo House has a delightful selection of sushi and other Japanese treats. The fish is fresh, and the rolls are creative. The Bento box lunch combination is a great deal, combining your choice of main (mine was sashimi plus a dynamite roll) with soup, salad, and side dish of your choice, which can even include tempura! I love that hot green tea is served as soon as you sit down. Service is friendly.
Good variety of traditional Korean food including all the side dishes. The lunch deals are a nice assortment at a reasonable price.
I was a bit disappointed in the Dolsot Bibimbap because the rice never crisped up, but the ingredients were good.
