Red Devil is a Korean cozy izakaya that serves BBQ robatas, fusion Korean/Japanese Tapas.
Me and my husband went to this restaurant on a whim, we walked by, where curious and sat down in one of the boots.
He ordered skewers, and I ordered the spiciest dish I could find on the menu..something with chicken, I forgot the name.
The food was good, could've been more spicy, but hey, I understand that most people can't handle it too spicy so I can't blame them for keeping it tolerable.
The ambience was very nice, the place was busy and the boots where just private enough.
We ate until we couldn't eat anymore, when we got the bill we where pleasantly suprised.
Good value for the amount of food you get, no it's not gourmet food..but I wouldn't expect that in a place like that, you have to stay realistic. The service was how service is in most places..not great, not bad.
This place isn't bad if you want to go for drinks and experience a semi-authentic Korean styled restaurant. The private rooms are nice and it's nice to go there with friends, even late at night (open till 2am). However, the food quality was pretty poor. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees and the portion sizing was good. The appetizer was pretty good and one of the entrees was okay too. One of the entrees we got was a kimchi spicy noodle dish. I couldn't believe the noodles were instant noodles. They straight up used those ramen/instant noodle/kimchi bowl type noodles and soup and then added sausages (not gourmet sausages) and vegetables to it. I don't like eating such unhealthy food so that turned me off. I wouldn't return unless it was midnight and we had nowhere else to go for drinks around that area. I would never order food from there again though.
My friends and I used to like going there for drinks at night. They have private rooms where you need to take off your shoes kind of place. They have some main dishes like pan fried noodle, rice, and etc. Also tapas style, small dishes and BBQ skewers.
Their food isn't bad at all. In fact, I like their yakiudon (pan fried japanese noodle) and it's got food price ($8.99 I believe). Their drinks however, aren't stable. I mean that by sometimes the drinks (the soju cocktails) can be very different at times. More alcohol or more lemon and the amount of the drink is usually different. It's frustrating sometimes. Their skewers and korean soup and food is good too.
The thing I hate about this place is however is the service. Not all the servers have bad service but quite a few of their "waitresses" are really MEAN and not polite. Quite many times we went there and sat down, we don't get service right away, it's ok since they can be busy sometimes. BUT when the lady (usually it's the same lady who's got rude attitude) gave us water and side dishes (the salad and oden soup) she was like NO smile (fine) and put down the cups real hard (like BANG). We were surprised when it happened. And whenever we order, she's got this "so what do you want huh?" kind of face. It's hard to explain but many of us stopped going for long just becuz their service is very inconstant and not so good.
However, I'd still go back to have drinks with friends or just for their food. On a side note, they open night which is great for Coquitlam and Port Moody people :)
The ambiance is great for enjoying a few drinks with tapas. There are private rooms you go in without your shoes. The ambiance is very Korean/Japanese
The robatas from the grill are all very good as are the rice dishes.
The service is friendly although they are understaffed on the weekends.
Red Devils is a good example of what a Korean izakaya should be: affordable, no frills izakaya for enjoying a bottle of soju with friends.
Driving down St. John's street we thought we'd give the place a try. Arrived around 6pm and the place was pretty quiet, probably only 3 other parties there.
We ordered the Beef Rib meals and their supposedly famous skewers -- chicken and beef.
The order came with little Korean appetizers that were ok. They asked us if we wanted it instead of just giving it like other restaurants. I guess they want to save on costs.
We've been to other Korean places and the little dishes that come with it are a lot better. This restaurant consisted of a little kimchee, some soup, and a small dish of some edame's. It was.. ok.
As for the main meal, it tasted decent and wasn't bad.
The overall price was quite expensive at the end of the evening.
And afterward they kinda forget about you, but it may be normal cause maybe its a hang out type of place.
Went to another restaurant in Port Moody for my husbands birthday (quiet dinner, just the 2 of us) and it was 15 minutes before closing...they told us to go away (am I the only one who hates that?). With nowhere to go, we found Red Devils. Decided to give it a try and will absolutely go back! The food was delicious (fried rice and bbq squid) and more than enough for 2 (had the leftovers the next day - fed both of us for lunch!) Bill came to something like $23. After the meal, the waitress forgot about us, but I think that's cultural...it's kind of a hang out place - open until 2am every day! Great alternative to a pub for a group - saki was SOOO yummi! Can't wait to make up another excuse to go there!
