My only stop at a Korean place on this journey to Calgary. It's slim pickings out here. There were some in downtown but didn't want to go all the way there.
Found that Kiwa had the basic meals and an average rating. Why not? I know my people's food. I should be able to get a decent meal. I'll put on my K-Charm...er...maybe not...I'm pretty basic in K-reading, and juvenile at best in K-speak. Deep sigh and head hung low. BUT darn it! I can eat like the best of them! :D
Ordered up SoonDuBuJigae and GamJaTang. Both came out in the tradition TtokBaeGi (stone bowl) and piping hot. You know what, it was pretty decent all the way around. The meals were pricier that back in the GTA. Less competition I guess. Would compare it to be better than the Owl of Minerva.
Quaint little family run shop. I would encourage anyone that would like to try traditional K-food in YYC to give them a visit. I'd go back there on my next trip to try their GalBi and BurGolGi.
A strong almost 4 stars!

It is good to finally have a Korean restaurant in this part of town. The food is decent but the portions were a little small. It was short staff too when we were there. We will be here to try out their other menu items.
Parking can be challenging with KFC and a popular Vietnamese restaurant next door. -

Average Korean restaurant, selection is alright but it def is less compared to most, portions are decently sized but again if you are comparing it to other places then it's a bit less.
Been here about 4 times and I can say that it's very consistent in quality and service.
It's nice and quiet and hard to find tbh, you don't really notice it when walking by but if you are looking for some decent Korean food in that area I would say go and give it a try -

Finally a Korean restaurant we've been looking for! Authentic Korean restaurant with great service (a rare find), good quality ingredients (couldn't taste MSG), and a nice, calm ambience. They focus on the main dish itself, rather than providing excessive side dishes. Reasonably priced. We've had the bibimbap, gamjatang, and sauteed pork. A definite favorite in Calgary.

Food lacked quality and quantity. They charge for seconds for side dishes. They only allow either water or tea, not both.
