I love Korean food....and for me The Kitchen is one of the best places around Point Grey for my Korean grub. I really enjoy the stone pot (dolsot) bibimbap and the bulgogi especially, which is very flavorful and strong (perfect for my taste!) This time I was curious about the ramyun which I never tried at a Korean restaurant but always seen it. I got the shabu-shabu ramyun, and chose mild spice (not really a friend of the heat so much). The noodles really sucked up the soup really fast. There wasn't really enough noodles but the soup was flavorful (don't drink too much, very salty) and the other components were perfectly balanced. Poshness: A cross between home-made midnight instant ramen and ramen at a high-ish class place (Jinya....?) I wish there were more side dishes for the ramyun and maybe they also should have given us the side dishes at the beginning of the meal!
I really like Korean food, and this is one of my favorite places to go to for my Korean food fix. Compared to other Korean food I've had, this is definitely one of the better places out there. Pricing for the food is pretty reasonable, and portions are also reasonable for one person. I believe there is an extra group tax on groups above 6 people, so I prefer coming here with just a few friends or by myself.
We picked this place because it was walking distance from our friend's place. The place is a little small, and quite popular. We ordered the BBQ pork, BBQ chicken, seafood tofu soup, and vegetarian bimbap. All of them were quite good and we cleaned up every dish, including the side dishes!
With a name like “The Kichen”, we expected it was another one of those Western, rustic, and farm2table restaurants. However, upon closer inspection, The Kitchen turned out to be an authentic Korean family restaurant. We loved the ambiance of The Kitchen. The interior was lit by natural sunlight, and cooled by the breeze outside. Free parking was also easy to find because this wasn’t a busy neighbourhood.

Alright, let’s get to the food. As mentioned earlier, The Kitchen serves authentic, home style Korean cuisine: pork bone soup, BBQ short ribs, bibimbap, and hotpot, etc. For convenience, we ordered an appetizer and a hotpot.
Regular-size yeonuh salad (salmon salad) – $6
It came with “The Kitchen Sauce”. We had no idea what it was made of, but it tasted sweet and tangy. Refreshing starter.
Bulgogi-Jeongol (Bulgogi hotpot) – $36
For the level of spiciness, we picked “mild”, but the soup wasn’t spicy at all ._. It was flavourful nonetheless, and a bit on the sweet side. Ingredients-wise, you get a fair share of veggies proteins. There was also vermicelli in the hotpot as well.
Our hotpot was losing liquid very quickly because:
The soup was boiling rapidly
The ingredients soaked up all the soup
Near the end everything tasted a bit too salty, and only then the did waitress offered to fill up our pot with more soup. >_<
The hotpot came with two bowls of rice, and unlimited side dishes (you’d have to take the initiative to ask for seconds). We really loved the fish cakes! It was a good alternative to the typical potatoes.
Yippee!! I'm so glad I found an awesome Korean restaurant a few minutes away from UBC!! Nothing like some good ol' homemade Korean food to fuel you through those lectures! The Kitchen is a gem of a place ~ I love coming to little family restaurants like this!! :D. The Kitchen is a small mom and pop operation, with the daughter taking orders, and the couple cooking up a storm in the back!! During lunch time the place was packed, and there was even a lineup outside!! I actually just found out about this place 2 weeks ago, it's kind of hidden off to the side, so it's really easy to miss.
Went to the Kitchen for a work lunch today - excuse the blurry pics, I had to take them quickly before everyone started digging in. The decor was nice - clean and simple. Generally a good meal. Price-wise, a little more than other Korean Restaurants, but I guess that's what you have to pay in the Point Grey neighbourhood.
Service was quick and friendly, tea was free and delicious. Lots of free neighbourhood parking. I probably won't return, but would recommend it if someone was looking for Korean food in the neighbourhood.
Good Service, nice food. The food choice is limited, but they are delicious. The most thing I like about it is the lady worked there are kind and nice. I believe they are a family-run restaurant. They make me comfortable and welcomed in the restaurant.
Delicious!. The food is clean, well prepared, and tastes like what mom would make. it doesn't have any mysterious goopy sauce, no weird MSG flavors, it's not greasy - but solid honest food with some true korean flavors. if i could, i would eat here every night and not feel bad about it - cause i'm a bit of a health nut. love the dumpling soup and the stone bowl bibimbap. i've had the bibimbap at places like hapa where you can taste the butter and other weird flavors - the bibimbap at the kitchen is straightforward, healthy, flavorful.
This ultra-casual spot in Kerrisdale serves authentic homestyle Korean food. Don't expect an extensive menu, tableside grilling, or even real plates. But for a satisfying Korean meal, give this place a try.
