Equally delicious is the Bulgogi & Glass Noodle, featuring thinly sliced grilled beef with tender glass noodles and fresh scallions, creating a perfect harmony of textures and smoky sweetness. Another highlight is the Spicy Pork & Chive, boasting tender pork slices glazed with a special sweet and spicy sauce and topped with crunchy sprouts and chives—each bite is a perfect balance of heat and savor.
Zannchi doesn’t stop at savory; their dessert menu is a delightful finale to any meal. Don’t miss their Homemade Basque Cheesecake available in luscious flavors like vanilla, strawberry, passion fruit, and seasonal varieties — each slice creamy and decadently smooth with a beautifully caramelized crust. For a sweet brunch treat, the creative options like BanaTella (banana and Nutella), Verry Berry, and Oreo & Chocolate bring playful twists to the table. The Injeolmi, combining red bean, rice cake, and soy powder, offers a traditionally inspired, satisfyingly chewy bite that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

This place is always so good! The food is fresh and hot and flavourful. Also love the new drunk menu. I got a real fruit mango and pineapple smoothie with coconut jelly and fried pork mandus. Both so good and the people who run it are so friendly
Food is a good 4.5 but I find it difficult to give it 5 stars. The price is good and for a place like Campbell river, this place is great if you are craving Korean or Eastern Asian food. There’s lots of variety in choices and the atmosphere looks great.
Simply amazing and authentic food. It was worth it to come from Ottawa and eat here. Twice. Kimchi is simply the best in my life. We had Korean Army Stew: one cheese & spam, second tofu & mushrooms. We had no room for cheesecakes but took it to go for breakfast and it was amazing too - one rose flowers second passion fruit. The next day we ate again cheese & spam stew and dumplings (they tasted the right spices and very juicy). The plum tea was just great. And cheesecakes again for the breakfast. This owner definitely knows what he's doing.
Took our family from Vancouver here after swimming at Campbell Lake. Amazing home cooked high quality food and best service! Bubble tea here is great too and very big cups
Amazing Korean food! Extremely unreliably open in my experience, please fix that your food is awesome. Used to be Kung Fu Cafe.
Best Bi Bim Bap in Campbell River by far! A ton of veggies, delicious spicy kimchi, and tender beef. Perfect for a rainy day. I’ve been here 5 times and will return.
