  1. Location and food quality are still proving to be "key" for our restaurant's success. We are actually now known as the "Best Korean Restaurant", primarly due to those "two"specific items... (marketing on my blog site has also helped attract non-Koreans interested in trying something new....- see my profile for the link). While owning and operating a restaurant is expensive and a lot of work, patience and a passion for quailty make it all worthwhile...! The "numbers" for our new restaurant are strong enough for us to start considering other investment options after only 4 months..... We are thinking of taking a visit/tour of restaurants in the New York area next year. You'll have to keep us posted in this thread as to where you decide to invest!! Good luck!
  2. Yes, I am involved with the ownership of the restaurant Insadong. There are four families which own the restaurant. As a customer, I was hoping to bring attention to our very new restaurant without appearing biased in this thread. My sincere apology for any confusion - Bandy.
  3. Hi Bond Girl, Interesting thread... It sounds like you got a lot of great advice from folks here at eGForums regarding your idea and venture. I just recently opened a Korean restaurant with some friends here in Vancouver. It seats aproximately 200 people and often there is 15-20 minute wait due to sellout. It's still early, but I have a good feeling that our restaurant will do fine. For more information you can see a few pictures of our restaurant, menu (available in 3 languages) and a map at website: http://www.insadong.ca or our Blog site http://spaces.msn.com/members/bestkoreanrestaurant/ If you are ever in Vancouver feel free to drop by and say "hi". Our live seafood aquariums and traditional Korean art displays are attracting a lot of tourists to the area! Good luck! Bandy
  4. Hi Pearl, Taking the skytrain out to Coquitlam takes about 30 minutes. We went to the Korean restaurant INSADONG near the corner of North Road & Lougheed Highway. They have the largest neon sign in the area so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Their food was very good... maybe the best korean restaurant in Vancouver. We're friends with the master chef at INSADONG and he left Norboo on Robson street ,had some other great Korean chef's join him and opened his own restaurant. He has a great website (including menu) http://www.insadong.ca Good luck with your folks in Vancouver!
