The pizza is mediocre. It really is comfort food at most, and the cheese on the bulgogi pizza is nothing fresh (it doesn’t stretch). There were barely any pieces of meat on the pizza, but considering the $4 price tag, you cant complain. I will come back for something other than pizza next time. The concept of this restaurant is something you’ve never seen before, and like others have stated, you either love it or hate it.
Wow shocked when you walk in the door. Graffiti everywhere in this old train station restaurant. Up to the counter to order pizza or Korean. Beef veg and.rice for one and chicken rice and veg for the second. Flavors are great ! Dishes are cooked perfectly. Drinks are beer domestic and Korean or pop. Owners behind the counter cooking and taking the cash. ( cash only).
Get over the appearance the food is great!
The dumplings are amazing! I started coming here so often for them, they now know me by name haha! Pizza is great for the late night cure, not the most amazing when sober but still tasty and really you can't beat the pricing here. Family run business and they are all very friendly and nice, love coming back to support them.
This place is a Whyte Ave. staple!
It is the furthest thing from fine dining...and that is fine!
It's been many years since my drunken days on Whyte. Closer to 15 than I'd care to admit...
But as I drove up, A hazy memory of stumbling in here came to mind. Steel Wheels has been here for quite some time. And what a unique little anomaly it is. The fact that they are still going is testament to the sheer volume of buisness they must get on any given night. I can imagine a long line of revelers looking for a late night snack.
As I stopped in at 7:30 on a week might, there was no one else in the place. This was great as it gave me ample opportunity to appreciate their one of a kind decor.
Graffiti...EVERYWHERE. It is litterally the patrons who have scrawled their presence onto every surface they can reach. I have heard a rumor that every few years they paint over everything and start fresh...but I can't confirm this. As for complaints I read about the cleanlines...well...it is "painted" with permanent market...so what does anyone expect!
At $4 for two slices (which many a "light eater would suffice), the value is second to none. I myself indulged in 4 slices. Two of their famous Bulgoki and two pepperoni . Topped off with a bottle of water (which at $1...is almost unheard of), total was a mere $9.00. Fantastic value!
Pizza is as simple as it can be. The crust is a unique bread which was quite good, but not "crusty" at all. Sauce...minimal. A few pieces of meat respectively...and i mess of cheese. That's it.
To sum it all up.
This is the perfect place to come if you are one who finds themselves hungry on Whyte after...or during an evening...or even morning...of good times.
If only these walls could speak...
I'm not a huge fan of their pizza but everyone else seems to always rave about it. They do however have great green onion cakes. I also love the atmosphere, it's such a classic place that all whyte ave partiers know about, and it's the perfect way to end off a silly night on whyte. Props to their late hours and awesome interior.
Excellent place for non judgemental folk. Sure the inside looks different then your normal establishments but the food is amazing the prices can't be beat. I've been going there for years now and years to come 😆😆
After bar eats!. Best post bar eatery around Whyte Ave!
A gem. Great Korean food, tasty pizza and very reasonably priced to top it off. The owner/employees are all great, they remember your face after a few visits and are possibly the friendliest guys I've ever met.
The inside, well I've had a few friends who were not fans at all but I personally really like it. It's a unique experience for sure and it's a great conversation starter. For a cheap meal with a few buddies or drunk food you simply can't beat steel wheels! Also you can buy soju by the bottle and it is pretty much the same price as a liquor store. A great casual place to go eat and drink.
Best place for late night food. This is the best place for night time food, it is open till 3am every night and the food is great. Spicy Bulgogi beef on rice is amazing, simple but great. They also have some pretty unique pizza (Kimchi, Bulgogi beef), which is worth a try. This is definitely one of my favorite places to go at night. This is not a place to bring a girl on a first date though.
I don't care what them haters say, This place is the absolute best place for Korean food. Not only because of cheap price, but because it tastes amazing compared to other places I went to in the city. Also their pizza amazing!! Never knew kimchi bulgogi would go well with pizza. Their dumplings is also a must have as well!!
