From entering to getting our food…was about 1 hour… The small seafood hotpot…was 90% clams and mussels…maybe 3-4 prawns couple of abalone and a few other things…I do wish there was less clams and mussels…and has some kind of fish…

Food taste needs improvement. Don’t come if you can’t eat spicy at all. I ordered Beef tartar bibimbap, seafood on rice. Both of them comes with a red sauce, claimed to be non-spicy, but they are actually a little-little spicy. The beef in Beef tartar bibimbap has some tendon (?) in it, not as soft as I think, so you need to chew a bit more than just swallow it. Seafood on rice, even added the red sauce, is kinda bland. The rice is a pretty wet/sticky. Fried oyster & fries only have 5 pieces of oysters. The server is kind and nice.

I had seafood ttukbaegi and clam bibimbap a few weeks ago. It was a good combination with the soup and the bibimbap. Not that spicy and had perfect level of spiciness for both. The restaurant was cozy with booths and looked good for having meal + drinking. The service was also good. I enjoyed their tea comes with a tea pot. I will definitely visit again!

It's a great place to try Korean food in various styles. The seafood is fresh, and the food is delicious. Definitely worth a try. The service is good as well. The only thing to note is that we felt really thirsty after the meal. 😂

This was my first time dining at this restaurant after a strong recommendation from friends who live in the neighbourhood. The experience and food did not disappoint! We held a birthday party for 13 people, which was tricky for the layout of the tables. However, the staff were beyond accommodating and made it work. They could have used a few more servers on a busy Saturday night, but the staff were very friendly and immediately responsive whenever we asked. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the seafood hot pot, fishcake soup and fried fish. Amazing flavours and textures, with generous portions that are ample for sharing! The fried items were light & crispy. The steaming umami soups had just the right amount of spicy kick. You won't find traditional bibimbap, japchae or pancakes because their menu heavily features innovative takes on fresh seafood - not for those with shellfish allergies! Plenty of Korean spirits to test out & quench your thirst! At first glance the prices seem high but considering that the plates can be shared, the restaurant offers great value. Will definitely be returning to try the other menu items!

Had dinner at a Korean resto bambad the seafood plate was a huge portion for us four people. I like their beef tartare, very soft and tasty.

I loved the whole experience here. Service was great. The food though! I love that they have whole octopus on the menu but small complaint for me is that it wasn’t cooked long enough for the meat to soften. Even cutting the octopus with the scissors was a bit challenging. But everything we ordered was delish! I def would love to come back here but it’s far from where I live otherwise I would be a regular here (I think) cuz I loveeeee seafood especially octopus and squid and shell fish! And especially having it cooked with Korean flavours! Yummmmm!! Oh also the kimchi wasn’t to my liking it tasted too sour/vinegary almost like they purposely made it to cater more to a western food palette.

I came away from the restaurant with a great first impression. The food was solid, especially for the price, and the customer service was decent. I highly recommend that you get their signature steamed seafood pot. We got a small and it was enough for the family of four. They really pack in a ton of high quality seafood in the small pot. The broth at the end is almost like a bonus and it's absolutely killer if you pair it with a shot of soju. We also got the Korean beef tartar and they give a lot of extra things to eat with the beef like wasabi, and seaweed. I will definitely be coming back with a designated driver next time so that I can drink.

if there is one more time I bite sands, I will sue you for that. This is very basic. What if, if you break someones tooth with the sand? Clean 200 % with your clams. If not, you dont sell. I will take it for today for now from the kind server.

We ordered their set meal for $88, which includes: clam bibimbap, small seafood pot, and fried fish steak. 3 side dishes were given. Added another special of fried scallops. - Clam bibimbap The rice is warm and the portion is generous! The two of them had half a portion left. The clams are served with leeks and chrysanthemum mixed with sesame oil and Korean hot sauce. It s really good with seaweed slices! Seafood hotpot Seriously, there s a lot of seafood! There are abalone, mussels, squid, shrimp, clams, and chrysanthemum! But abalone is not gutted, which I can t accept. The overall soup is a bit smelly~ Im not used to it, so I dont recommend this. Fried fish steak, fried scallops I highly recommend these two types of fried food from their store, they are so crispy! And the sauce that goes with it. I really want to eat it after one bite. In the end, I even finished eating the dregs. - Generally speaking, the seafood pot is not recommended, it is too fishy! If you re not used to cold rice, don t order clam bibimbap because it s still warm when served! I think the fried food is good! Still love to drink barley tea~

It took 45 minutes for the food to come out from when we were seated at the table. If you cant get the food out of the kitchen quickly, I think it would be better to turn the table halfway now. As for food, the only ingredients included in the raw fish dish are dried fish and boiled octopus. I think it would be better to change the menu name to boiled octopus and raw fish. The taste is above average.

I ordered steamed seafood, fish cutlet, clam bibimbap and fried oysters. The food was mediocre at most. The portion was pretty good. the abalone was not prepared correctly and they dont let you know what to remove before you eat. So, dont forget to remove its tongue and teeth before you eat them. Also, dont forget to remove some parts of conch. They dont tell you what to remove for this one either. The taste was just ok. Fish cutlet was really good though. Crunch, moist and delicious. Fried oysters were good. But not as good as fish cutlet. It was missing some flavours. Clam bibimbap was very bland.

Update 20240412: The clam bibimbap and seafood hotpot are good for the first-timer, but actually some of the other items really hit the spot, especially with soju. The stir-fried hagfish ( ) is really good. Previous: Pretty unique in terms of Korean food options in the city. Lots of seafood. The clam bibimbap is quite large and the seafood hotpot is packed with clams, mussels, two abalones, two shrimp and two whelks (for the size small). The soup is delicious and has a nice spicy finish. Will definitely come again to try their other dishes. Not cheap but 100% worth the experience.

In short, it could be seen as a clean seafood Korean restaurant. The atmosphere is so clean and spicy that it makes you want to drink soju even during the day. It is not a residential area or a shopping mall, so it is quiet during the day but is expected to be very crowded in the evening. Since they are open until 11 oclock, most sales seem to be made at night.

Their inferior is nicely done - simple and modern. Dining area is pretty clean. They have great food variety. Their prices is a bit high but the ingredients and portions make up for it. They also have a good drinks menu. The servers are friendly and they did check on us several times. They are known for their seafood hotpot. For 4 adults, we ordered the small to sample it along with 4 other dishes. The small had plenty. It is a bit spicy because of the broth - it had jalapenos in there. We also ordered the clam bibimbap, beef yukhoe, tako salad and a fried fish with fries. The tako salad is pretty spicy as well as they seem to use quite a bit of gochujang and gochugaru in there but so tasty. We had a bit of leftovers to take home. Definitely a try and Ill be visiting again to try other items. Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and non spicy food options but are mostly deep fried.

We went for a family dinner (5 adults and a baby) last night after participating in their Instagram event (free lobster for the first 10 reservations of the signature steamed seafood pot). I honestly didnt expect much and thought the lobster would be just a small add-on to the meal, but I was really surprised at how big and fresh the lobster was! My baby enjoyed getting to meet the lobster too :) The seafood pot itself was enjoyable as all the seafood was fresh and the broth was delicious as well. The 5 of us ate to our hearts content and added 4 servings of the Seafood pot noodles, which I would highly recommend as it was the perfect way to finish the meal. The restaurant was very clean, and I loved that we could enjoy our meal in a semi-private room. The servers were very friendly and worked diligently to satisfy all the customers, even though it was a busy night and all tables were full. All in all, I was extremely happy with the experience and will be back to try some of the other menu items in the future. Thank you Bambada!

Place is famous for its seafood pots and it was fun to try and experience. We ordered the big box ($135) because we re seafood lovers and wanted to see what it included. The broth was absolutely delicious, so was the seafood: but I don t think it s worth $135. In the big box, you get 4 abalones, 2 oysters, 2 scallops, a few shrimps, a few sea snails, and the rest were claims and mussels. I wish there was more equal variety because you re mainly paying for claims and mussels - some of which were clearly frozen. Would recommend you go for the smaller spot ($45) as you get almost the same things (you can just add things you might like, such as oysters. Service also needs some improvement - it s quite slow and while they re nice, they weren t very attentive. All in all, very hyped up place, but fun to try.

Very cozy place with delicious seafood! I had their spicy fish roe soup (which tastes way better if you ask for vinegar to add into the soup), fish cutlet, and clam bibimbap. Generous portions and very satisfying. Fish cutlet was super crispy. Pretty good quality seafood, albiet quite small, and the clams were a little sandy. I was surprised by the lack of sauces they offered. Service was friendly, but not as attentive. We had the bell to ring for assistance and sometimes it would take more than 1 ring to get someone over as it gets quite busy. Recommended to call for a reservation.

Yesterday, after a lot of research, I finally ate seafood clam stew and raw fish in the sea at night. First of all, the food came out in 30 minutes. They said it was because there were so many customers, so I just understood and moved on. But...you need to pay more attention to removing the shellfish in the seafood stew. I chewed about 3 out of 5. I fully understand that it is difficult to get 100% relief, and even considering that it is a restaurant, the sand was chewed up a bit. And I think there was too little raw fish in the raw fish. The bowl was large and had a lot of vegetables, but it was too little for $38.

I shared it with another person and took home half of it for another 2 servings of lunch. They do not hold out on the clams at all. We will be back to try the hotpot and bossum looked amazing. Only comment is the services as it was lack luster kids whos more interested in their phone or hair. Also, if you did not make any resos for dinner on a weekend, be prepared to wait. We waited 45 min and still think it was worth it. The couple right after us was still waiting by the time we left as the reso bookings were coming in.

Super yummy dinner! We ordered the clam bibimbap, seafood pot and the deep fried fish with fries. There was soooo much seafood packed in all the dishes - especially the seafood pot which had a really delicious, light and refreshing broth. My favourite was the calm bibimbap and I liked how they served seaweed with it too. Side dishes were good and our server was really friendly. There was also a button on the table so you can call your server as you needed. Slightly on the pricey side for a meal but its definitely a must-try place to check out in Coquitlam.

The food is excellent with dishes that you not see in a typical Korean restaurant. I especially appreciate the quality of the Spicy Seafood Ramen. The broth tastes custom made. I suspect with the stock from their many steamed seafood dishes. If you are looking for something more filling the Clam Bimbimbap is a great choice. Their version is one not seen in any other Korean restaurant in the Lower Mainland.

Yesterday, after playing golf, it was too hot, so I was searching for raw fish, so I went to eat it, but the moment the side dishes came out, I had a gut feeling that I had come to the wrong place. Kimchi, pickled radish, seasoned broccoli... What was it when they told me to sprinkle some vinegar on it and eat it rotten? The moment you take a bite and think about the sweet and sour soup, you wonder what it tastes like. Theres a lot of mugwort in the sashimi Its just a vinegar-based soup full of mugwort scent and thats it... The seafood pot rice is just an abalone and a few clams It was a waste of money, so I ate it all the time. Even if I make it with cold noodle broth, it would be more delicious than this. According to the review, Dont be fooled. I really think you need to research the taste of food.

December 22, 2023

Called to make a reservation but they said they don t take reservations for 2 people. Told me it wouldn t be busy at 5pm.

The seafood clam stew, clam bibimbap, and fish cutlet were all delicious. At lunch, four women ate our fill, and we want to go again. (There was quite a wait in the evening.)

The clam bibimbap was really good. I liked it a lot. Steamed seafood hot pot was overall not bad but the mussel was super fishy. I assume that the mussel was not probably fresh or rinsed properly. It was good overall though. Id like to try next time definitely.

Great experience! Got the small seafood pot, clam bibimbap and fried chicken with fries. All tasted delicious. We were impressed by how much clams were in the bibimbap, and it was flavoured well. It came with seaweed as well, which was fun to eat with. The hot pot was delicious, seafood was fresh, and the broth had so much seafood flavour, it was very comforting. I liked the amount of garlic and the hint of spiciness. Chicken was good and juicy too.

I rarely eat such delicious food abroad, and I am very happy. Since this is my first time here, I ordered a small amount. I believe I will order more next time and I will share it with you then. This is a seafood restaurant and the ingredients used are of high freshness. I ordered a plate of grilled oysters, which tasted very fresh and juicy, and another plate of fried seafood, which will make you eat several more bowls of rice. It is recommended that if it is a weekend holiday, please book a table in advance because it is almost full during dining time.

On the last day of my trip to Vancouver, I ve planned to visit Bambada, after seeing all the Instagram posts about them. After checking the business hour from Google and comfortably arrived two hours before closing time, only to find out that they are closed . The server told me that we cannot dine in or order to take out. I mean, I ve been a branch manager at one of the bigger chain restaurants, and this could only mean that they started closing from much earlier. It was a sunny day in Vancouver and there weren t a snowstorm, earthquake, zombie apocalypse or any other emergencies. They were closing just because it was a slow day. I don t know how long they will last with this kind mentality, but I was very disappointed to say the least.

* Mulhoe - My kids couldnt forget the taste they had in Korea, so we had to cancel when they asked if it was seafood or beef when ordering. I ordered seafood, cabbage, crown crown, cilantro? Anyway, there are a lot of vegetables and two slushies. They say to adjust the seasoning by sprinkling it with red pepper paste. First of all, the seafood contains squid, octopus(?), and some raw fish, but since it is frozen, it is crunchy when you chew it and you cant taste it at all. The noodles that came with it, I dont know how long they were boiled and left out, but they remain stiff even when mixed in broth. Its so unfair that I paid over 30 for something like this. *Seafood Ttukbaegi - The taste is so good and the seafood is so good *Clam bibimbap (?) - Just add sesame oil, red pepper paste, and seaweed and mix it to make a taste that anyone can make. * Overall review - You should never order raw fish, everything else is mediocre or below average, I will never order it again.

Occasionally, the clams are damaged. Its a little dry and the sand is chewy, but overall its good. ^_^

December 22, 2023

The clam bibimbap was delicious, and the raw fish had almost no roe or oysters and only a lot of clams. And the raw fish soup had only a lot of vegetables and too little raw fish... There really isnt even an amount of sashimi (in the 10-20 dollar range) at a sushi restaurant. Number 5 Ive been here more than once, but its always the same, the bowl is too big and there isnt too much sashimi. Its not raw fish, its water vegetable. Its too expensive for the price. Its not cheap either... I dont often leave reviews, but I think this one isnt right.

Their claim to be a Korean seafood restaurant does not disappoint. The clam bibimbap was outstanding. All of the shellfish was excellent, as one would expect with Coquitlams proximity to great shellfishing. The restaurant is unassuming and very casual. If you are not familiar with Korean food, dont shy away from this place. They will walk you through what to expect, and there is a range of food from entey level to fully-committed. If you like seafood, this is a must try.

Service and restaurant cleanness made up for the food. Given it was marketed as a Korean seafood restaurant, expectation of course was high for their main dish. However, only the clams and mussels were of good quality. All guests agreed the abalone had a weird smell and the octopus was rubbery. The bossam was 80% fat. The highlight was the pickled radish. Totally not worth the $40.

We came at around 7:30PM and there was no wait. We got the clam bibimbap ($30.00), wing and fries ($20.00) and cheese potato pancake ($21.00). We thought the food was okay. Nothing amazing. The clam bibimbap felt under-seasoned. Lots of clams but needs a bit more spice. The wings and fries were crispy but not juicy enough. The cheese potato pancake okonomoyaki didnt stick together well and was hard to serve. Overall the food was mediocre. Not worth the drive out to Coquitlam. The price wasnt too expensive and the portions are quite large. The service is pretty fast

Today, I drove 40 kilometers to a place introduced by an acquaintance (she strongly recommended it). Even as I go, why am I doing this? I went with that. I really enjoyed it. Clam fried rice, raw raw fish, and seafood stew? Clam soup? I ordered 3 like that. As recommended by an acquaintance, I was satisfied with the taste and quantity. I dont know when the next time will be, but I will definitely visit again. My daughter wanted to eat Korean raw fish, so we went there, and she was very satisfied with the three menu items above. I became a good father. The price seems cheap compared to the taste/quantity. Be sure to visit.

Honestly.. it s good but I think it s a hype more than a meal? The flavors were bland for me.. wish they had options to make the broth spicier? ( . ) All in all price is okay for a lot of seafood lovers. Worth a try!! We had fries on the side as well and also their stone pot rice as well.

Came here for the Korean style seafood pot after hearing about the hype, and it s definitely worth trying at least once if you re a seafood fan. We ordered the smaller size on the recommendation of the waitress since there s only the two of us, and the portion is just right since we also ordered the calamari and the Yukhoe (raw beef tartare). Seafood pot is obviously the highlight, with clams, mussels, squid and abalone. The broth itself is light and savoury, but it starts to feel salty the more you drink/as it starts to get cooler. The yukhoe feels fresh and refreshing, not overly seasoned. Calamari is alright; big portions for the price, but nothing that would blow you out of the world. If I were to go back again, I d probably skip both and just get the bigger version of the seafood pot instead.
