It is very different from the fast food chain. Long line up during peak hours. The portion is just right for those who are not too hungry.

Roxy Burger

I tried both lunch and dinner only at its Aberdeen, Richmond location. I have been to Seoul, Korea once and found this restaurant quite authentic (unlike other Korean restaurants which are modified to fit into the local tastes). Their $20 14-course set lunch is quite a deal, but if you are not too hungry, try the $15 10-course set lunch. My only advice is that because comments from others who have tried it are generally good, and they do not take reservation, prepare for an extra 30 minute waiting time during peak hour. Their waiter will also rush you to order and pay bill to take extra guests, so if you prefer quiet and relax environment, this is not for you (even if you are a Korean food fan like me). But in general, I found I am happy to pay them 18% gratuity, and would have paid more if not being rushed to pay the bill. You may need to take a taxi as the restaurant at the Robson location is not within walking distance. If you want to take transit, take bus #254, 250, 240, and 246 (WESTBOUND W GEORGIA ST AT SEYMOUR ST), which is a 3-min ride. By the way, I would not consider Korean food to be very healthy as most of the dishes are quite sweet and BBQ is not healthy, but once in a while you need to take some "unhealthy" food so that you do not have too much craving for that.

Not much line up, reasonable priced, and no need to think too much about what to order as the menu is familiar to most of us. I tired their Salmon burger and found that the grilled wild sockeye salmon is quite juicy and thick. For ~$16 with salad, I feel I treated my body with health food (had I not ordered a beer that would have been completely healthy meal).
