life is good korean bbq

have eaten here a couple of times and neither time was i wowed by it. the decor is amazing; very modern, and the bathroom was so spotless you could eat in it. the staff tries their best to talk to you about the food and make suggestions if you are unsure about anything. both times i went they offered free ice cream for dessert as well, which was nice. unfortunately that is about where the pros end. the atmosphere was ruined by someone in the back yelling repeatedly at the staff for not working hard enough. i get that it's an issue for them, but it should be handled in private and not in earshot of customers. the food (i had a kimchi stew the first time and a bibimbap the second time) was lacking in the flavor i am used to in authentic korean food. even the chili sauce tasted much more mild and flavorless than the gochujang i use at home to make my own bibimbap, which sadly knocks this place's dish out of the park. furthermore, their kimchi seemed hardly flavored at all, and i asked for the spicy option. it was bland in comparison even to store bought kimchi. lastly they didn't offer any of the neat vegetable side dishes (banchan) that are typically served with korean main dishes. if you want amazing korean food in regina, korea house is still the best. it's out of the way and the decor is very lacking, but they make darngoodfood.

only been their for lunch and definitely recommend this place! when my friend and i first arrived, the whole place was empty so we were thought maybe it's not asgoodas we heard but we still gave it a try and glad we did cause it was so tasty!

there's not a lot ofgoodkorean restaurants in town, but this one is definitely agoodone. the portion wasgoodfor what it costed. although we were the only ones there, i still enjoyed the atmosphere. my friend and i ordered the bibimbap and it was so delicious! highly recommend bibimbap for lunch!

will come back to see what's the evening menu like

delicious food. went for lunch and had the bulgogi stew, dumpling bibimbap, and l.a. steak between everyone. all items were delicious (loved the dumplings and bbq especially!) andgoodvalue for the meal. restaurant was good, and love the decor.

much better than the first time i went which is about two years ago, when it first opened. back then, my one meal costed almost $20 with a lot of small dishes but the actual meal wasn't asgoodas i hoped but they changed. menu's smaller than i expected but it helps deciding. i had the bulgogi korean grill and i was expecting something like korea house where you grill it yourself but nope. grilled for you! it was $5.99 for the portion, i thought it wouldn't be enough even with rice but surprisingly it was the perfect amount! i was so full, and i had a free salad, ice cream and freezies! $10 under and i got so full, definitely didn't expect it.

good food and service. i had checked here for some info on what to expect or watch for on my first visit to lig. i think the management has been checking, too. attentive staff who greeted us right away, asked if it was our first time there, and then clearly explained the menu.
we had the dinner buffet and were glad we did. $21.99 got us agoodmix of authentic korean dishes, 8 bbq options, as well as the salad bar. we arrived a little after 6 on a saturday night and within the half hour the place was packed.
i'll definitely be back for more.

new buffet!. tried the friday night buffet and the selection was excellent. the ribs and meat cooked on the korean charcoal were so flavourful and the ribs were so tender. two soups, a salad bar, multiple choices of sweet or spicy meats and veggies, rice and noodles, great options for kids like chicken nuggets and dipping sauces, and the heavenly grilled meats. try the korean punch with fruit....incredibly refreshing. no msg. going back for sure! the service was perfect....helpful, friendly and warm. we've become regulars.

very tasty food,goodportions, reasonably priced lunch menu, friendly and helpful servers. when i expressed my fondness for the hot sauce, i was kindly given the gift of a small container to take home. we have become once a week lunch regulars. anxious to try the evening menu.

if you're not familiar with sam gyup sal skip it. it's not authentic, but the presentation is a nod to korean bbq style cooking. it wasgoodenough for me and the staff was so nice. well, i tried a couple of korean and mandarin words and i got that extra service!

beautiful, clean, great!. the place exceeded my expectations. it does not look like much from the outside but it is a beautiful, modern space inside. the place is hip, clean and the staff were terrific. they were extremely attentive and very pleasant. the level of cleanliness was impressive. the food was very good. i tried their noodle dish with beef as well as their rice dish served in hot stone. i recommend that you ask for reduced spicyness so that you can fully appreciate all of the flavours. the food came with a steamed egg appetizer which was very interesting and tasty. the dessert is a cinammon drink that can be served either hot or iced; i prefer the iced version. food can either be ordered ala carte or as a fixed price full meal (the full meal is meat that you select and cook on hot stone on the table) with side dish and appetizer that comes with it. generally, a very different concept for a restaurant. what makes it unique is the hip environment where the well prepared food is served. well done, owners and staff! keep up thegoodwork, keep paying attention to detail and, if you continue like this,i will become a regular.

the results are in! supper was delicious! !!! the service was verygoodthe ambiance was also good, i enjoyed the decor, the music, and the chairs were comfortable. while the price ($77 with 20% tip) was more than we would normally spend on a weekly date night supper, i felt that it was fair considering that this was a unique dining experience in a lovely setting withgoodservice. i would definitely recommend it to a friend, and we will definitely go back there again.

very impressed. i created an account just to make this review. i've long used urbanspoon, but never felt the need to review something before. suffice to say, i was very impressed with lig. an authentic korean experience in regina, withgoodfood in a very nice setting.

i went with my partner, my mom and my in-laws, and we all liked our meals. we each got the "multi-course" meal, and each got a different main dish. i tried all of them except one, and they were all at least good, with 2 of the 4 i tried being exceptionally so.

the mixed rice (korean name is bibimbap) was fantastic, with just the right amount of spiciness to it. everybody at the table who got it was raving about it. the salad was fairly simple mixed salad with a very nice dressing, which appeared to be home-made. i had never had kiwi dressing before and it was delicious. my main was the spicy pork on a hot rock which was fantastic. the dessert was a cinnamon drink that was very strong and tasty. the only thing i wasn't a huge fan of was the soup, but i am not known to like things with cabbage in them, so that was to be expected.

meal came out to $30.44 after tax for each one of us. the portions were very generous and i was more than full (and i can eat, lol). would recommend this place to anybody tired of "chain restaurants" and would like a unique dining experience in regina (which is a rare feat in this city). my partner and i were talking on the way home that this is a place we could take guests from out of town and it would be impressive. there are very few places in regina that you can "show off" to out of town guests, this place is one of them.

way too expensive!. wow this was a let down! we payed $70 for two people and a beverage! the food wasn't verygoodat all, the meat had very little flavour. you are supposed to wrap your meat in a piece of lettuce. the serving sizes are very small and the dessert is a cinnamon drink on ice. very strange, overpriced place and wouldn't go back there.

not verygoodat all. food came out cold and the servers could not speak english. we waited and waiting for a bill to come.

friendly service and smiles all around. what a great restaurant. my wife and i decided on a whim to come here for lunch and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and service. good, tasty korean food and a very friendly server. i didn't think the language barrier was a problem, instead it added to the authenticity of the restaurant. verygoodvalue for money. we'll definately be going back - gangnam style!
