At Kook, we are CRAZY about BBQ and we are here to set a new standard to your Korean BBQ experience. Serving only premium meats, every table is equipped with the Rolls-Royce
of smokeless grills (Shinpo Systems). The restaurant is perfectly air balanced with the best ventilation system to ensure you smell the same way you came in.

We want to ensure that we please your eyes as much as your taste buds. Our interior design is themed around the ancient five core elements (Gold, wood, water, fire, earth). From our golden ring of banchan to the cherry wood bench you are sitting on, you will find this theme throughout our restaurant. Let our energy channel your inner chef to take control and cook, or simply sit back and let our BBQ experts take over.

Our dedicated team is here to serve you with one goal in mind:
“A Korean BBQ dining experience you won’t soon forget!”

    Excellent food as always and great ambience, keeps getting better and more exciting every time I go there! The side dishes put around the grill make the meal more appetizing! I hope they start making up space for a bigger group; can’t reserve for a group of more than 6 guests unfortunately, unless you contact the restaurant directly, if you’re lucky.

    We got a combo for four and usually it could feed the five of us because we have an elderly and a tween and make up to one portion. Normally that could feed us well at other Korean restaurants but now this time, we ordered three more dishes including two bbq meat. Staffs were super helpful and they were always around, I just wished the branches would have some cushions for us to sit on, not a big deal though.

    Fantastic food for value! Server is so nice and constantly check in if we need to change the grill plate or lettuce and appetizer. Very nice experience! If u are looking for a restaurant to talk, that might not be the one as music is high. I would not say this is bad cuz it fits the vibe. For celebration with a group of friends with party vibe, it’s perfect!

    The best KBBQ spot in Vancouver! The meat is fresh and well-seasoned, and the service is always friendly and attentive. The combo meals are great for groups

    Great food - we had the combo for 4, which filled us all very thoroughly. Service was notably excellent, with servers being very helpful in giving advice and monitoring the grill for us. Strongly recommended.

    Honestly, Kook serves the most yummy beef for Korean BBQ. I tried expensive Korean BBQ in numerous countries including Seoul and Busan. Kook wins by far. It is very expensive. But it is worth every penny. Nowadays, it is not the quantity that matters. It is the quality! Go treat yourself, your family and friends there for important occasions, especially for birthdays. The staff there sing " Happy Birthday" so well which makes the atmosphere so celebratory.
