Potter's Garden Korean BBQ - Burnaby

Potter's Garden has undergone a significant renovation since our last visit two years ago. We were curious to see if the food was still as good as it had been in the past. Unfortunately, our experience got off to a rocky start when we discovered a hair in our bean sprout side dish. It was not a good first impression for Potter's Garden. Although they replaced the dish, the hair was still present in the batch they served us, so we chose not to eat it. Additionally, the potatoes, which are usually a favorite of our little one, were disappointing as they were bland and pale. Overall, it was not a great start to our dining experience.

Potter’s Garden has been around for a long time. They are one of the first Korean restaurant in Burnaby that are still around. The exterior appearance of this restaurant has always been very subtle. Most people come here due to reference from friends or online reviews. Potter’s Garden is located on Kingsway near Imperial Street in Burnaby.

It has been a long while since we last visited Potter. Potter is always one of the best Korean restaurant in town! They have renovated with better seatings (however, its ventilation is bad after the renovation! It is quite smoky when many tables ordered BBQ).<br/ <br/ We ordered some spicy wings, susuage, seafood pancake and hotpot. Highly recommend their wings! It is really yummy!

Our most recent experience was a good one. We ordered from their Cheese selection- cheese with pork belly. My favourite was the Galbitang beef rib) soup, oh so flavourful yet beautiful in its simplicity. The ambience is revamped so it's more modern and edgy. If you get a cheese dish make sure they turn down the heat within a couple minutes or your cheese will burn.

I have visited this restaurant a few times and have enjoyed my meals on each occasion. During my most recent visit for dinner, I tried their beef short rib soup with potato noodles, which I found to be delicious. The dish had a slightly sweet flavor and the beef was tender. We also ordered the spicy pork and squid, and were able to request it to be less spicy, which suited my taste preference. The dish had a good balance of squid, pork, and vegetables. Overall, the food was tasty and the service was satisfactory. I appreciated the convenience of the call buttons for servers, especially during busy times. I would definitely return to sample more of their dishes.
