This Korean restaurant offered an exceptional dining experience! The presentation of the dishes was inviting, as seen in the sizzling hot plates surrounded by cheese, corn, and egg, which added interactive elements to the meal. The flavor of the grilled meats was perfectly balanced, complemented by fresh vegetables. The cheese melted to perfection and paired wonderfully with the savory main course. The servers were attentive and ensured the food was cooked correctly at the table, enhancing the overall experience. The sides, including sweet corn and creamy egg, rounded off the meal beautifully. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a fun and satisfying meal. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist!
The food was good. However, the experience was horrible. I went with my friends who had recently come from Asia and are not used to tipping. They forgot to tip and the server told them why they are not tipping because in Canada they must tip. I understand that restaurant workers rely on tips. I have done delivery driving which absolutely relies on tips. Unfortunately many people do not tip during delivery which relies even more on tips but I never told people why they are not tipping even though my salary and thus living depends on it. The waitress forced them to pay again but this time was to pay the tip they did it but none of us nor our friends will ever go to Ta Bom again and we will tell this to all our friends as well. Ruined our night. Again, I deliver with uber and I absolutely empathize how it feels to not get tipped but forcing people to tip is just unacceptable anywhere. The service was not good either to be honest. I can explain if needed.
We came on a Friday night for dinner. Like many people have said, parking is limited to the few spots at the front or else you would need to find parking on the back streets. The back street is residential area with no street lights so it can be scary to walk by yourself. The food was very tasty and good portion. But I found the soup a bit heavy on MSG. Food came out really fast. The side dishes is unlimited refill. The service was excellent and attentive. The server checked on us every 10 minutes or so. She knew it was our first time trying the hot plate so she helped us quite a bit. She explained how to eat the food quite well.
First of all, my dining experience was absolutely fantastic. Im a big fan of Korean food and have tried every single one and I have to say Tabom’s Dak Galbi and Japchae is one of my favorite of all. The grill is creative in its way that it comes with egg, corn and cheese (extra). It’s a must-try and Im definitely willing to come again for its food and service. Not to mention that the atmosphere was relaxing and cozy, warm vibe with good service!
Worst korean restaurant we’ve been too. We went there around 4pm and I think they only have 1 server so it took her a long time to get our order (but it is not that busy). Anyway, after we order we’re expecting for some side dishes because every time we eat at a korean restaurant the servers automatically brings you side dishes after you make your order but sadly they don’t do that here and the free side dishes is not enough for two person (3 types and a very small portion, you can refill it max 3x). The corn is too dry, the egg and cheese is so small, there’s even no rice together with our order, everywhere we go there’s always rice that comes with this. The price is not worth it. Not coming back!
I love the cheese grills here. Makes any kind of food more fun when it’s surrounded by cheese. To top it off, the service is also great. We were seated promptly in a cozy ambient environment surrounded by extra cushions — a hospital touch I personally really appreciate especially on a tired and chilly day. Great dining experience.
Been a few years since I've visited but used to come here all the time when I resided closer to Coquitlam— always been my preferred location! The new renovations are lovely and still has a cozy atmosphere. Food is as good as I remember and I always recommend the spicy octopus hot plate. ❤️
I had a great dinner at Ta Bom. It was good that they offer live BBQ grill. Servers were friendly and prompt. Restaurant is quite small, but it was clean and doesn’t reek of strong BBQ smoke smell. I find the dishes to be fairly priced. It was tasty and fresh. Will definitely dine here again.
Store with a notice on the front door advising last call at 9 pm closing at 10 pm . However, store refuse of accepting walk in at 8:50 pm. Not consistent with the operation info online , should update operation info to avoid disappointment of customer
Chicken kalguksu was so delicious
Our family made a reservation for 7PM. We checked-in and were told our table wouldn t be available as they didn t reserve it for us. What s the point of making the reservation then?
Kid-friendliness: Kids-friendly, we saw 2 families dine-in with us Food
I always get the spicy chicken platter with egg corn and cheese. Love this place! They have great service and the food always tastes yummy and consistent
Always yummy ! Had the dak galbi
Great food. Serving was a bit slow. I have to follow up for our order. It would be nice to inform customer if it has been more than 20mins. The staff was great though.
Once a month we always come here, we like the food, pricey but worth it.
Food quality is mediocre. Portions are relatively small compared to other Korean restaurants. We order octopus and rice in a hot pot and chef only put 4 very tiny pieces of octopus, which was very disappointing. I lived in Korea for a year and this place doesn t feel like a real Korean restaurant. Unlike other Korean restaurants they do not provide metal chopsticks and it s a great indication. Koreans don t eat at this restaurant. I ve been in several Korean restaurants in B.C. and this one is way worse than other ones, so have something to compare with.
Love coming here!
Place is decent, the food is great and the price is affordable with 3 or more people
First time here, it feels very new. Dietary restrictions: Cheese costs extra.... Parking: One hour free parking
place is great, food is amazingly delicious, servers are kind, can could your own food which is really nice, definitely recommend it
I come here often and it was delicious haha.
I was moved to tears after eating one bite to know that I could taste chicken ribs like this in Canada. It was so delicious.
Had a poor experience. I sadly can t recommend.
I ve been here many times and have always had a positive experience. The food and the service is always good, and the restaurant is always very clean.
I recently dined at Tabom, and it was an exceptional experience! The spicy pork and small octopus was absolutely fantastic. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. Each bite was packed with bold flavors that left me wanting more. The dish was accompanied by a variety of delicious side dishes that complemented the main course wonderfully. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting. I highly recommend Tabom for anyone craving authentic and delicious Korean cuisine. I can t wait to come back!
Perfect
Good place for bbq
lovely server, amazing food, and great ambience! Parking: can park where the safeway is, limited parking besides that Food : 5/5 |
very good food, especially the dak-galbi. the people were very kind too:)
good!
Good food, service!
It looks appetizing and is delicious
Corn with melted cheese tasted amazing
This place is goooood. One meal consists of multitude of flavours and dishes, so if you like some things less there are enough other flavours and textures to satisfy your cravings. If you are looking for something less diverse, well the fried chicken here is also... how should I say it ... Ta Bom!
I always love tabom. Never disappoints. The food is delicious and I always take my friends here!!
Went after workto have dinner. Fast and quick service here on a monday. Food here is great!

Fancy Korean hotpot
I ve been to the Robson Ta Bom location long ago before there was a huge boom in Korean food in Vancouver. Since then I ve mostly gone to Sooda due to location, but I decided to give Ta bom another try since I was in this area! Overall, as delicious as their food was, it can add up and get pretty pricey with all their add ons. Their hot plates only come with the basics, so if you want cheese, rice, or rice cakes, it costs you quite a bit extra and be much more expensive compared to competitors like Sooda. The thing I really like about Sooda is that in their hot plates you get cheese, rice, egg, rice cakes all included at a pretty reasonable cost. However, I personally think Ta Bom had juicer and tastier beef in their beef bulgogi. Overall the food was very good here but it can definitely get pricey if you want all the add-ons. One day I d like to try their tteokkbokki hotplate.
Always coming back for the hot plate tteokbbokki
Food is great and they have a 5% off promo for paying in cash
Great place n food
Good food and drink dundundundun
Very good food, good service and overall a nice clean restaurant. My family comes often because it is so good. :)
delish food! i keep coming back for more <3
It is always the best taste and service satisfaction. Dakgalbi and fried rice are more delicious than Korea.
The food is delicious and the staff is friendly ^^
Were so satisfied with the food that we ordered for our first visit thats why we came back again...
The service was good, lots of options for korean food. I recommend coming with multiple people, as it has large portions!
Delicious food, a well-established Korean restaurant. Even though I live far away now, I still come here occasionally to enjoy a meal.
The spicy chicken and spicy pork are absolutely delicious.

Very kind and delicious place. I recommend this restaurant.

love the dakgalbi and the fried rice ! Great service, very friendly
The restaurant offers delicious food, excellent service, will come again
We got their signature tteokbokki with ramen and cheese as add-ons. I like how you can choose the spice level and add more sides if you need to. Great place to get korean food :)
Hey nice atmosphere that my family and I often go to. Food is great and service is good
This is actually our 3rd time eating at Ta-bom in Austin Heights; our first time was at the beginning of the pandemic, when they had just put up the dividers between the booths. This is honestly one of our favourite places for Korean food, whether as a small group or as a couple. The food is authentic, and is a mixture of traditional, new, and fusion! We love how we can have good old hot pot or BBQ one evening, and chicken & fries the next. One of my top recommendations when in the Burquitlam neighbourhood.
This hot pot is so spicy but very delicious ;)))
I love the hot plate. And Korean sweat and spicy.
Very prompt and excellent service, nice quiet and welcoming atmosphere. Food was awesome! Will definitely be returning !
The octopus pork belly and highballs are delicious!
Amazing service. Cool vibes. Nice quiet neighborhood spot for food and drinks
Been coming here every so often with friends, A great spot to hang out and get a meal. Very accommodating with big groups and food is always tasty!
Food and service was amazing and the portions were really good and filling. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a good vibe
What s ring with the owner?! They ask you to order more in order to get what you want. They don t even care of you but hey? Why don t you leave a tip!!! No you don t deserve and no wonder why the place is empty Don t bother going there it used to be ok but this place is a hole now
Anything you get is close to $20 a person and the portion sizes are not large at all, we wanted to also get a hot pot since it was so little and they will not allow you to order for a single person sized portion it s mandatory to have at least 2, so more or less you spend $80 for little portions and not so great food. Then they come after you and interrogate you why you left no tip, like they deserved anything. I tip if the food and service is great, this was none of those horrible place do not recommend.
Food portion is small, I left the place hungry, that s definitely not what you want as a restaurant owner to hear from a customer. I m not planning to spend $90 just to have a normal size plate of food for 2 people. The place is empty close to the weekend in the afternoon. I kept seeing people walk in look at the menu and then just walk out. I used to come here often, but now it s a let down. Not worth coming anymore.
Really good experience
Love the food here, especially the seafood !!
Amazing ambiance, grwat food this is my bday week at Ta Bom . Check this out. Located along Austin Avenue in Coquitlam.
The food is always delicious!!! I live in a city that has other Korean restaurants, but they don t come anywhere close to Ta bom. Just thinking about the food makes my mouth water !!!!

Honestly my go to spot. This place is one of the best restaurants to go to.
Yummy food, and great waiters!
Its awesome~ I ordered Darkgalbi~ Servers are very kind and the taste is also great. I strongly recommend this place to enjoy your dinner time~ Food
This is so good place to enjoy our dinner. Thanks for great food and kind services~
I usually visit the downtown one and order the stir fries. This time I tried the budaejjigae. The price on the menu was false advertising. You have to order from 1, 2 and 3 to complete the set. They tell you the base cost in 1 and you can pick sides to add to the pan for free or for cost in step 2, 3. Except.. step 3 only has items priced at $5. I asked if I can just omit it and they said no, it is mandatory to pick one. Why dont they just add $5 to the base cost and then make step 3 free. Adding a price make it seems like I can choose to add it or not. So now the budaejjigae is $41 instead of $36 with sides I didnt really need. Quite pricey for a very simple ingredient dish. Soup base was very flavorful but not a lot of ingredients was in it for that price point. One thing I didnt like was the buying of positive reviews. They offer you free soda/pop for positive reviews only. Parking is limited but we did find a spot on a weekend lunch. ---edit for reply to owner--- The signature budaejjigae did not come with any rice. The server should have suggested the standalone version when I asked to have no sides.
Good place for dinner fresh meat and vegetables!
Service is fantastic and the vibes are great. Love the special tabom chicken!
Korean fried chicken for the kids and teok bokki hotpot for my wife and I. A great dinner at a reasonable price!

Waitress is very attentive and polite. Food is really good and service is quick.
Good food, good service and good atmosphere.
Ive been coming to Ta Bom, coquitlam at least 5-10 times each year, and can confidently say that both service and food quality is consistent. Although the price point is a bit higher, I think their spicy chicken sizzling plate dish has been a go to for me in Coquitlam over the past 5 years. Would recommend trying for sure!
This is my third time here and their food and service never fails to disappoint! Spicy chicken is our go to :D
I like the place; simple and I miss Korea every time I eat there. I like their server s uniform, looks neat and it reminds me of Korea more.
This place is the fastest and freshest. Service is always with a smile. Even when short staffed.
Amazing food. It taste good .. I ll surely recommend this place.
It was quiet, it wasnt too crowded and it was nice to talk.
The place is clean and they have good food for decent prices. We order the spicy chicken hot plate but there are other korean bbq that you can do and hot pots. You can customize how spicy you want the food if you cant eat very spicy food as the regular is a bit on the spicy side. Also the employees are super super friendly and professional. I have not yet seen other Korean restaurants that have this great of a service! Thank you!
Quite nice atmosphere and servers are really kind and professional. Good food, overall a bit spicy imo.
Very delicious and tasty! Nice service and friendly staff! Will revisit for sure!
Super good service every time! I always go there with my family!
my fave BBQ place in Coquitlam!

Great food and great service!
This is our go to place when it comes to Korean style chicken with corn and cheese. Can t get enough of it honestly lo
Ordered the soy chicken hot plate. Comes with corn and egg. Added glass noodles and ramen. Overall very flavourful and cooked perfectly. Would order other type of noodles instead of ramen in future as it was the instant noodle kind.
Its so delicious!!! Im Korean, but it tastes better than Korean food. Highly recommended!
Its plentiful and very delicious.
Food is good
It was great everything was good and everything was perfect it was good and delicious
This location is awesome! Very clean, service has been very attentive and the food is very worth the price. The atmosphere of this place is very comforting and even when there s a lot of people, feels like this place is a very welcoming place.
Good
Very good service, food is fantastic, the best Korean fried chicken.
Good stuff
Ta Bom was one of the original dak-galbi restaurants way back when Nolbu in Downtown was the only other place to get it. It s still one of the standouts for its hot plate shared mains in the area. They also have a number of other Korean classics as well as fried dishes. Prices are bit on the high side which is what I think keeps it from being more popular.
Five layers of octopus are so delicious
Best environment of all the korean cuisines! Got lots of different kind of korean food and we enjoyed it very much!! Really delicious and thank you for the nice service!
This restaurant is great! Would love to come back here again. :)
Parking: Easy parking Food

Great food
Good food, decent service. Note that they give a free pop drink for good reviews, but regardless of that Id give this place a 4 or 5 anyways.
Such a nice korean restaurant to visit with large group of ppl like family and friends, every food taste as real traditional korean foods!
Ive never tried this hot plate before but it is really good! I dont know why I waited so long to have this cause whats not to like?? Tteokbokki? Good. Corn? Good. Bulgogi? Goooooood. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
Loved the food here. Will definitely come back!
