My husband and I have been here a couple times and its a delight every time. The servers are friendly and the food is comparable to the ones you get in Korea. We were especially impressed with their bossam.
Hey everyone! How was your week? Alex and I had a pretty busy week. With new changes at work and finals starting soon, we’ve been a little stressed (or at least I’ve been) lately! But seriously though, why does stress = breakouts? My skin has been terrible these days. Thought it would be good (or bad) to get some Korean food! Alex and I love Korean food, it is one of our guilty pleasures. I’m personally not a big fan of spicy food, but sometimes I crave a nice, hot and spicy Korean stew in the winter to keep warm.
Yes. We,re Eating Again.

To be honest, as soon as I saw that Pickycat had rated this place as a 4 out of 5, I knew that I had to come here! She, and many reviewers are right! This is a very good place for Korean fusion. My partner and I found the service to be quick and gracious. The restaurant is not large but is very comfortable and modern. We started with Deep Fried Tofu. It came very quickly and was very light in color so that I was suspicious that it had not even hit the oil. But it was hot and crispy and much more delicate than what I expected (sort of expected agedashi tofu). We tried a couple of lunch specials as recommended and we were not sorry. My partner had the Gpanpoong Chicken on Rice. It was amazing! Garlicky and tender and I recommend it to everyone! The shredded cabbage on the side had a sublime wasabi dressing. I had the Gamjatang (pork bone soup) which comes as a single portion at lunch time. There was no room for even one more small bone in that bowl! Now I'm not sure what good manners dictate but this was difficult to eat with chopsticks. I soon gave into my baser instincts and made a bit of a mess (amazingly, my white shirt survived unscathed) using my fingers. There was so much tender pork on those bones. The broth was wonderful and I loved the greens (that I could not identify...minty?). I concur with Pickycat and other and recommend this place to everyone!

Came here on a Sunday night and it wasn't really busy. They aren't that big of a restaurant, so if you have a large group, a reservation might be a good idea.
We ordered the seafood pancake, LA galbi, and the bossam. The seafood pancake was pretty good. It was crispy and had a decent amount of seafood. Only thing I didn't like was that it looked burnt when it came. But luckily it didn't taste very burnt. The LA galbi was pretty good, but it wasn't that tender and large in portion. I don't think it was really worth it for the price, but it tasted good. My favourite item was the bossam. We actually ordered this after we ordered the first two because we still felt hungry. I'm glad we did. It was very large in portion and the pork belly was really tender and flavourful. It was also presented very beautifully. I would order this dish again. The side dishes were basic with the kimchi radishes, beansprouts, and potatoes. They were good and I got seconds for them.
Overall, food and service was good. I would definitely come back to try out more dishes. Maybe come back for the lunch specials.
○good service

Absolutely my favourite Korean restaurant in the Metrotown area! Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and of large portions!
My go-to dish is definitely the seafood tofu soup! You are able to customize the spiciness of your broth to your preference and the soup is packed with shrimp, clams and scallops.
I also ordered the spicy bbq pork belly and squid this time and the dish was a pleasant surprise. The dish was served on a sizzling plate and the portion for a bbq dish priced under $20!
Morak also has lunch specials where you save a couple dollars off of their top menu items. Definitely going to go in for lunch next time and give it a try!

I haven't actually been to the restaurant itself, but I have ordered takeout via Skipthedishes. I've had their Gganpoong Chicken Rice, Bossam, Bongchu Jjim Dak, and BBQ Mackerel.
Gganpoong Chicken Rice ($12.95): 4.5/5; If you like popcorn chicken, you'll love this. It was fragrant and crispy, and the meat was nice and juicy. I ordered during lunch time, so they have a smaller sized version, which is $2 less than their regular size. The "small" size is already quite substantial and enough to make a filling lunch on its own.
Bossam ($23.95): 4.5/5; Probably their most popular dish, and for a good reason. The meat was tender and flavourful. The portion was also generous and enough for probably 4+ people.
Bongchu Jjim Dak ($28.95): 4/5; Although not as outstanding as the other two dishes, it was still very good, with the chicken being very tender and flavourful. Again it was a large portion (1 entire chicken, I think), and perfect for sharing.
BBQ Mackerel ($14.95): 3/5; Although I would have preferred one of their meats (specifically their beef shortribs), since I already have 3 other meats, I felt obliged to get a fish dish instead. It was good for it was. Mackerel does tend to have a "fishy" taste, and although I could detect it in this dish, it wasn't too bad.
I have no idea of what the restaurant is like in terms of ambience or service, but based on their food alone, I'm quite impressed and will continue on ordering from them in the future.
Pretty good restaurant. Fast and friendly service. I really like their single person Spicy pork bone soup. Will go there more because parking is also convenient.
Decent Korean food for decent price! I've only ever gotten their lunch combos and they're pretty good. Their food has gotten better over the years 😋. Good choice for Korean home style food in South Burnaby. And their servers speak English!
Morak Korean Restaurant 謀樂 (韓國風味小餐館)
位於本拿比市Kingsway大型購物中心Metrotown對面有一家鮮為人知的韓國小餐館，它雖然跟在大溫有多家分店的台式餐飲集團“牛仔餐廳”處於同一座商廈內，亦享用同一個兩層室內免費停車場，但由於店面面向橫街而非大街之故，所以即使行經Kingsway的車輛和行人都極少察覺它的存在。這家韓國人開的餐館就在“老山東牛肉麵”旁邊，網上食評却超高！地方原是家台灣人經營的Tomoya Japanese Restaurant 友居酒屋，當年我去光顧這家店時已察覺到大不對勁，所有餐椅都破損非常亦未予維修，原來是要結業的先兆。
Morak由於面積不大，所以桌椅間的距離也較為貼近，幸好配搭上淺白色坐椅，令觀感上不會過於侷促。店家自命主打韓式fusion菜，但我從他們的餐牌上却找不出任何fusion菜的影踪。對於不懂韓文的顧客在這裡點菜完全沒有言語隔膜，因為菜單上都有貼心的中文說明。餐館每天由11:30am-3pm都會提供午市特價套餐，雖然優惠的差價不算多，但勝在來吃午市套餐也送可續的韓式小菜，更令我驚喜的是服務生會主動為客人加添免費韓式小菜啊！這店還有兩個特色，其一是不設韓式燒烤，其二是營業時間長達到凌晨及提供類似日式居酒屋的餐飲服務，各位喜歡夜蒲人士在本拿比市又可以多一個選擇了。
Pork Cutlet 炸豬排午市套餐 $8.95 (4/5分)
午市套餐的炸豬排比正價平$2元，如果想將白飯改為泡菜炒飯則要補加$2元。這裡的炸豬排有兩隻手掌大小，非常壯觀，味道口感都不錯，加上拌碟的酸甜四季豆及青瓜，十分好吃
Seafood tofu soup with bulgogi 海鮮豆腐湯午市套餐 $10.95 (3/5分)
豆腐湯可以選擇辛辣程度，隨湯附送一碗白飯及一碟炒年糕牛肉。豆腐湯裡除了豆腐外，所謂海鮮就只有幾隻蝦和幾粒蜆肉，連魷魚都沒有，味道雖然不錯但份量太少，覺得有點不值
