This is my go to lunch spot in Prince George. Every dish is authentic and delicious - even those dishes not on the menu! Nothing else needs to be said.

One of Prince George's hidden gems. Authentic food from authentic people. We are fortunate have this place in our community! Excellent food!!

Love the small family restaurant feel. No pretention in the room presentation, they rely on the food quality and flavours to wow the customers and do it well. Portions were a bit on the smaller side than I would have liked but acceptable nonetheless. It's a nice culinary experience and adds to the diversity of PG.

★★★★

I came with a group of 14 and they were able to accommodate this large party well. I would say the food was average with decent value. The miso soup had an odd taste.

What a hole in the wall place, Sim’s is tucked away in the light industrial area adjacent to Downtown PG. The owner was just working by himself, however he was able to move the busy lunch crowd through no problem. His wife normally is there with him but she was visiting Korea at the time. The food was delicious and very well priced considering the portions are generous. I very much enjoyed my chicken katsu meal. I now know why so many people on Google rated Sim’s so highly - it’s definitely one of the top spots for lunch in PG!

★★★★

Great gem in PG to get lunch only as it caters to people who works downtown PG. Super-friendly couple who makes great food and affordable as well. Bulgogi beef (#5) & Chicken Katsu (#13) is what we had and no complain there except that the house salad was a little salty. I had the Curry (#2) before and was very tasty. I will try the Bibimbap next and the rests in the neae future. :)

I went there for the first time and I was looking for something to eat that was open at 10:30am. I cant do traditional breakfast places because I am allergic to eggs. I did a Google search and came across this hole in the wall gem. The owner was really good when I mentioned my allergies. He was awesome! When I am in Prince George again, I will definitely be back!

Great take-out style Korean food for reasonable prices with large portions. Favourites are bibimbap and either of the katsu dishes. The restaurant does support dine-in, but isnt going to blow you away with any sort of atmosphere. Support this locally run mom and pop business.

★★★★★
December 22, 2022

The first time I ate here my eyes watered at how good their food is. I try my best to get here when I can, you can tell they make their food from the heart because every time Ive went its been absolutely delicious. I prefer family-run businesses like this over fast-food chains because you dont get the same authenticity. Genuine Korean food 15/10. On top of the food being amazing the couple running the place are super sweet. Please, if youre passing through town make sure you stop here if you can. I highly recommend them.

Ive been to Korea for work five times. Sims Lunch Box is authentic. The people are delightful. Even the way the waitress dressed reminded me of everyday, unpretentious Koreans I met and still know. It is only open for lunch, thus the name. It is out of the way toward the industrial area of downtown.

I got a meal I cant remember the name of, but it was the number 9 - get it. I did and it was great. The miso soup had a case of the mehs, but the main was excellence. Service is quick, and the place is so much of a hole in the wall it could be covered in plaster. The place just feels right, like putting your feet in warm lake water. I always go to Sims when Im in town. So should you.

December 22, 2021

This place has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. Even the lowest 3 star ratings say nothing critical.14 years ago in Vancouver, guy next door strongly recommended a little hole in the wall on the next block for their food. If Sims Lunchbox is anything like that place, Ive been eating at all the wrong places and missing out. Wish Id heard about this place sooner. My work schedule overlaps their operating hours, however. Im making it my personal mission to come and eat here before I set foot in a burger place again. Id much rather support a small local business than a fast food franchise, or a trendy, flashy, nationwide bar and grill chain...especially since the bill here will be on par or less.

Where do I begin?! Honestly the best place to grab food in Prince George. Listen, you want amazing Asian eats for a great price right? If you dont, youre probably evil, or not human. So if youre a good human, youll want to eat here to your hearts content. The highest costing menu item is a combo with 7 pieces, and it is $13. Its enough to keep me full for one whole day, and to nibble on the different things throughout a busy work day. Cannot recommend enough.

This place is a delightful hidden gem. Its been on my want to visit list for over a year, and was well worth the wait. It is a little off the beaten path, and is only open for the lunch crowd. It appears to be very authentic Korean traditional food. We had the bibimbap and it was excellent. I love that the owner came over and showed us how to mix it before eating :-)

Owned and operated by a friendly Korean couple. This is a wonderful place I tell my friends about to get yummy food for a great price. This place isnt a fine dining experience, more cozy and casual. Its only open during the middle of the day, so its a good spot to have lunch. There are not many sit down tables, so its a good idea to have a back up to-go spot if theres a lunch rush.

Excellent authentic Korean Cuisine (only place in town to get it) - run by Mr and Mrs Sim. Friendly and attentive customer service and delicious Bulgogi and triangle Gimbap. If youre looking for a quality Kimchi fix - go here! Dine-in or dine-out and grab some Bulgogi, Kimchi and triangle Gimbap to go. Hours of operation are limited as its family owned and run. Limited seating but getting seating during lunch time isnt too much of an issue (due to location).
