Korean Restuarant Calgary

[clem24]

Tried out Han Corea thanks to this thread. Yeah it's pricey but very good, though it's one of those places that serves 'heavier' Korean meals; not something you can have often. We ordered the fried octopus something, pretty much the most expensive thing on the menu at $53, but it'll easily feed 4 people. Very tasty but like I said also very heavy.

My only issue with that place is that it's not very n00b friendly LOL. The waitress barely speaks English and wasn't very helpful at all with how to cook our dish (and the fact that you had to add your own rice and fry it yourself at the end thing).

Will definitely come back to try out the other stuff on the menu, like the pork blood soup. Not sure about the tripe though as although I love Chinese style tripe (and sometimes Mexican), Koreans typically make it quite different and not to my liking. But definitely on the adventurous side. Now all they have to do is offer live octopus which is on my bucket list LOL.

I'd still say Clubhouse remains my go-to for comfort Korean.

I agree. I ordered blood sausage, pig feet, and the octopus and that was $100 right there lol.

Definitely not n00b friendly. I had to watch some of the regulars to see what the social norms were before making our move.

I'll try Clubhouse next time.

What's mind blowing is that $53 buys you maybe $5 in ingredients; there's absolutely NOTHING specular in there. It's just the same frozen baby octopus that you buy from T&T, clear noodles, and cabbage. I mean, fuck you cook the thing yourself! I can't see how this can't be done at home as long as you know what goes in it. Still it was good, not complaining or anything LOL.

Although with Han Corea, what we really enjoyed most were the side dishes! Very unique and very fresh. The boiled egg was awesome! It's too bad they don't have a menu item that's just a bowl of rice and a bunch of side dishes. I could definitely have that often.

I only eat out to steal their menus and cook it at home.

I say Anju is perfect for you foodie white ppl with lots of $$$ to burn

[clem24]

LOL Surprisingly the table next to me at Han, a white dude with Asian Persuasion, was eating the blood sausage. Actually wanted to steal the 970GTX he had sitting on the chair. Hmm now that I think about it, possible Beyonder?

[Quizzes]

I enjoy Bow Bulgogi House. Good and affordable.

I'd hardly call Anju korean, fusion perhaps but barely reminds me of Korean food at all.

Ssome has probably the best Korean fried chicken in Calgary, everything else there is just mediocre though.

Been to Cafe Momoko. The food is decent but the menu is really small and needs more traditional korean dishes. The owner is really awesome though.

Check out Han Corea for legit Korean food. It's out in the middle of nowhere, but you can find dishes that you'd only get in a Korean home.

Reminds me of restaurants in Seoul.

I've got to bump this thread because of han corea. this place is awesome! been there 5 times in the last 2 weeks. perfect for the cold weather, too!

[wintonyk]

I appreciate the bump. I haven't been back for a couple years and have a craving lately.

Can confirm that Han Corea is the most home-style Korean I've had in Calgary. Very close to my mom's cooking.

Wow are they still open until 1am?

That place is super confused haha! But was good, lots of care put into the maintenance of the grills, and preparation of the dishes

Korean Village is #1 in my book lol
