Expect to pay slightly higher prices for a meal compared to other meals in Mac hall, but the price is completely worth it. Their portions are huge, and they give you tons of meat and sides if you choose their classic bbq combo. The sides that they provide include a variety of options (including healthy ones) to pick and choose from. I would personally recommend getting their glazed potatoes. They also have other options such as wraps, soups, and curries.

The Salmon and Shrimp meal was great! Good price and a lot of food. I opted for no rice, so they gave me more veggies! Wonderful :)

I usually buy La Fe and Korean BBQ house for lunch. Would it be possible for you to have a Hinbor App or Kiosk Reward system too? I have been using the Hinbor App to order from a bunch of Calgary restaurants in UC and Chinatown. Pls keep me updated

I wish I could earn rewards by ordering on the kiosks, just similar to Tim Hortons/La Fe Dim Sum. Currently, it’s hard for me to do that with your store. Plus I wish I could order from app ahead too with rewards, which I’m also doing regularly.

One of the best eats on campus is still open, even on Sundays! Just wish they had more traditional Korean banchan like kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radish, etc.

Great place on campus for halal food! The chicken was sweet and the thin-sliced beef was delicious. They are very generous with their portion sizes and their sides are really good too.
