We started walking in that direction when I saw the Royal Seoul House across the street. We've wanted to eat there, but I find the food items on the menu expensive. I realized that all Korean restaurant in Vancouver is costly (comparing to the Philippines).

We still decided to have dinner there. The design from outside looks excellent already, and what's inside doesn't disappoint. We were asked if we had a reservation, we said. The host asked if we will be having a BBQ because a table with a grill will be a long wait. We said no, we're not grilling tonight.
We ordered the Man Du (because Korean dumplings are my favourite!), Seafood Pancake, and Japchae.

Honestly, the food we ordered could have been better. I prefer the Seafood Pancake from Dai Jang Kum in Richmond, BC. The Japchae is the blandest I have tried while the Man Du is unexpected - it's tiny. The reason I love Korean dumplings so much is I am used to them to be bigger compared to the Japanese and Chinese dumplings.

Though, the highlight (life-changing) event of the evening is when I had the kimchi. I remember disliking kimchi. It was too sour for my liking (at least the one I tried years ago). For some reason, I tried the one they served and loved it! I added the kimchi to the seafood pancake and japchae, and everything tasted so much better.
