Overall the food was good not super authentic. We get it cause we are in the middle of mountains.Very good service even super busy at supper time still got seat and food very fast!! Seem a bit pricey but everything pricey here can't complain.
A traditional place representing south Korean culture. Please reserve early if your coming in as a large group (10+) as it can get busy due to the fact that tour groups eat here. The space is big, but it cannot move tables since it is connected to a gas line, but there are tables for 10.
I highly recommend the item #5 spicy squid stir fry (o-jing-uh bok-keum). It has the right portion size, seasoning, adequate spiciness, and the squid is cooked right (not rubbery).
We wanted to try something different, so we went for the item #30 spicy seafood hotpot (hae-mul jun-gol). It was really good, right amount of servings (crab claws, shrimps, scallops, and mussels) served with my favorite type of noodles (udon noodles).
The service was friendly and accommodating to our needs for more side dishes and clean up of the tables. On a side note, this was the only Korean restaurant I have been where it served pickled spinach. I would recommend to give this a try when your in Banff.
A must. Whenever my husband and I visit, we have to eat at Seoul Country. Always satisfying and a great experience. It gets busy here frequently especially at dinner and some visits we have had to wait a little. It's worth it!
Always eat everytime we come down. Love the hotpot. However, I wish they would continually refill sides because my husband and I enjoy it so much. Was never a fan of BBQ but tried the ribs and found them delicious. In terms of service, they're really busy here but I find the service satisfactory. Highly recommend!
Tasty. Every time i am in banff i eat here. Good food service and always busy!!!
This is a hidden gem. Despite arriving at a peak time with over a hundred Korean guests in the resaurant we were immediately seated and treated to a deli cious authentic dining experience.
We admitted we didn't know what to order and were delighted with our waiters recommendations.
Keep in mind Koreans don't dawdle over their food. So the staff aren't used to providing the service you might expect- but if you can adjust your expectations you'll be rewarded with a delicious me served quickly btw their "pizza" is to die for... (it's an egg seafood delight!)

Awesome. The food is excellent here. It is better than most of the Korean food that I've had in Calgary. Tried the bugogi, spicy seafood stew and seafood pancake. The bugogi was served with lettuce for wrapping, rice and a nice mildly spicy sauce. The seafood stew was superb. Can taste the flavor in the scallops and oysters, The pancake was a bit unusual as the top was crispy. Other versions I have had it was more like omelette, soft. I prefer crispy.
I have a suspicion that a lot of asian tourists stop here.
So it seems unlikely that one of the best Korean meals I’ve ever had is in this small community, a missed opportunity for how many years. It only makes sense that I had to visit Seoul Country Korean Restaurant for both night’s stay during the May long weekend and share it with my readers! The restaurant itself is located on the second floor of the Sundance Mall on the main street of Banff Avenue. Just be on the lookout for a crowd of people watching staff make fresh chocolate-y goodness at the Fudgery and you’ll know it’s Sundance Mall. Head into the mall entrance towards the back.
We went here for a big family lunch right after the gondola ride. This restaurant is pretty hidden if you're strolling down Banff avenue without knowing exactly where it is. It's tucked behind the same building as my favourite candy store in town, The Fudgery.
Overall, the dining experience here was great! Be warned though, afterwards you do smell like bbq!! We tried doing Korean BBQ at home before and it was too much smoke to do at home as the smoke alarms kept going off… so, if you enjoy doing that, here’s a great place to go!
I came here before and the food was excellent, I went on Google to find the place again and saw it only had 3.5 stars.. that’s total BS! The food is amazing as usual the service is very kind and polite and the prices are great. Come eat here you’ll love it. :)
I really think this restaurant is underrated.
Great service, excellent food. Even your banchan(s) taste wonderful!
Honestly did not expect much of Asian food in Banff just because it is harder to get all kinds of the right ingredients but surprisingly this was one of the best Korean food I have ever had! Very well done chef!!!
A little but pricey but understandable since it is in the tourist destination.
Thank you for a lovely dinner. Highly recommend and will def be back! ❤️
Tasty food, first real Korean meal, so a bit more guidance would have been appreciated with regards to the side plates. The waiter helped to cook up the meat and vegetables. Really fast service and food considering we cooked it fresh. Will definitely make a point to visit again.
A nice place that serves delicious Korean food - worth a try, especially if you are craving for some Asian food
Always the hunger buster! We always come here after a long days walk. Assorted seafood hotpot is the best seller.korean servers seems to very well know how to best serve its customers. Happy customer here. My family love it.
