Nor Boo in Vancouver has received mixed reviews, with some diners calling it an embarrassment to Koreans due to the poor quality of the food and service. Complaints included small portions, slow service, and a general lack of cleanliness. However, positive remarks were also made about specific dishes such as the ox tail soup, the pork steamed dumplings, and the soondubu. Among the highlights were the beef short ribs and the beef stone bowl. Overall, Nor Boo provides affordable meals and filling portions, making it a unique find in Downtown Vancouver.
