I love little hidden gems in Metro Vancouver. I’ve been on the look out for Kim’s Korean Waffles and Pancakes but didn’t get a chance to until I was on Maternity leave. I never knew the hours until I finally spotted the stand.
Ever since spotting this place, I love to stop for a snack whenever I go grocery shopping.

Menu
Korean Waffles
The Korean Waffles come in 3 flavours:
- Red Bean
- Custard
- Vegetables
The exterior is nice and crisp when freshly made. The inside is hot and has the beautiful filling inside. Of the 3 flavours, I loved red bean the most. Second was custard and third was the veggies.
Pancakes
The pancakes start off as a ball of dough will filling inside. They comes in two flavours:
- Sweet Rice Pancake: Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, and Peanuts
- Vegetable Pancake: Savoury Mixed Vegetables
The pancakes are more oily than the waffles as its cooked in oil. Texture is very different as well. Of the two flavours, the Sweet Rice Pancake was my favourite. Can’t go wrong with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I love the Korean Waffles shaped like fish because it’s made fresh and the exterior is still crisp. As for the pancakes, they were a bit too oily for my liking, but the Korean sweet rice pancakes were still decent.
