Sowon Korea Dining - Waterloo

One of the best chicken place I’ve ever been to!!! It’s SUPER crispy but tender/juicy inside!! The portions are amazing as well for the price. The owners are super friendly and nice: I would definitely comeback here in the future

This is like traveling back to Seoul, South Korea. I had the bulgogi mushroom stew and it’s very authentic tasting. I appreciated the cost per portion and find this restaurant to be super consistent. I usually prefer takeout but the space is cute and pretty much what you would expect. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for some Korean comfort food.

On a neverending quest to find good Southeast Asian food in Waterloo, I headed down to Sowon Korea Dining.When my friend and I went there, we ordered a spicy bulgogi with rice (which was their daily lunch special) along with a seasoned Korean crispy fried boneless chicken. Due to the spicy bulgogi having just the right amount of spice to not make it overwhelming, the meal was utterly delicious paired with a tangy pickled radish, the bulgogi was a mixture of several delectable flavors! It was made only better with the crispy fried boneless chicken eaten hot, the boneless chicken was crispy, yet tender, making for a filling dish despite ordering a smaller portion. Comfortably recommended!To hear about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

I had a lovely time! The couple that owns the eatery were lovely and the food was perfect! While I can't say they were always paying mind to those eating for the sake of getting beverage refills and one would have to go up and ask, it was never an issue and still wouldn't impact my review of saying it was decorated well, had a friendly atmosphere, was superbly cooked food, and most certainly would promote others to stop in. :

I would rank this as a middle of the range Korean restaurant. It's not going to blow your socks off. The service was okay and could have been better for a sit down restaurant, like offering to refill water when glasses are empty. The fried chicken was good, and I'd recommend that be tried. Overall, I found it to be pricy for 3 dishes we ordered, which came out to $60+ (not including tip).
