South Castle Korean - North Vancouver

This is what I'd imagine real korean soondae tastes like. My korean friends took me here and I can not forget how good it tastes. The atmosphere is pretty gloomy but with friends it was fine. Definitely coming back.

Can't wait to go back!. My Korean friend took me here and got me hooked on their soup. So delicious!!!!!!

Perfect After Your Day. This restaurant is... used to be a 'real hidden gem ' for Korean crowd in Vancouver when it opened, cause their menu was 'new ' for Vancouverite at that time. Today, yes, the restaurant is still a 'mom pop joint ' or as they say a 'hole in the wall eatery, ' but South Castle stays a crowd pleaser. Even after the restaurant went through ownership change a couple of years ago. Now on to them menu!<br/ <br/ My absolute favourite is non-spicy Soondae-guk. And a bottle of Soju usually for myself and me company. Soondae means pork blood sausages in Korean and they are tasty enough to satisfy most of non-Korean people who are wary of adventurous dishes. Its taste comes off very closely to spicy cured pork. And to Koreans, you should know the soup is the great match for Soju. Inexpensive and fantastic to wash off your day with a glass of Soju. You got yourself one great time with your buddies. Recommended.

Not for the weak.. This Korean restaurant is perhaps the most popular Korean restaurant in Vancouver to Koreans. Like many restaurants in Korea, this restaurant only serves a niche type of food. Organs and of particular choice, intestines.<br/ <br/ Whether you decide to get the soup or the fried hotplate, it will likely be very spicy and if you cannot eat spicy, I wouldn't even recommend eating here. If you enjoy spicy food and don't mind the ingredients, you must try this place.<br/ <br/ The quality of this restaurant is comparable and even exceeds some of the same type of restaurants in Korea. Ask your Korean friends, they'll know.<br/ <br/ Also, they do have an English menu.

I've been here couple of times. I'm Korean and this place's soup is even better than those in Korea. Like the staffs and food; I don't see many caucasians here, but some of my white friends love bi bim bap and bulgogi.
