Probably the best atmosphere of any restaurant in the Edmonton area as well as having some amazing food. The vibe may not be for everyone but it sure is an experience. The menu is limited but everything that they serve is top tier. Not anything special about service as it's the basic place your order and wait for your number to be called system. Overall, I give a 9.5/10
Visiting Steel Wheels is a right of passage in Edmonton. This place definitely gives dive bar vibes, with graffiti on every surface, however has its own unique charm. Staff is super friendly and food is great! My go tos are the Bulgogi pizza and the spicy squid For real tho, it’s quite spicy, so not for the faint of heart. If you want to avoid the lineups you should arrive before 2am, when all the bars close down. Between 2-close there will be line ups out the door.
My boyfriend and I come here extremely often, and the food is just unmatched! It is the best comfort food in the city, the vibes are always great and the staff are always incredibly kind and happy! 100% recommend the cheese corn bibimbap and stir fried pork!
Steel wheels has always been the spot for a number of years. Bulgogi rice is always my go to and it just hits the spot. Bulgogi pizza is also another banger. Now it used to be a lot bigger but since inflation, the portion is now a bit smaller but the taste is still great. Good spot to have drinks and chill after a night of clubbing. Highly recommend this place. Oh and they close late too!
Steel Wheels is one of the best places to get some quality food. Been going there since 1999! The booths with the graffiti... the signatures on the walls... the amount of amazing talent that have sat in that building to eat drink and be merry is extraordinary. HUGE ups to the steel wheels fam and friends. A staple in Edmonton and the music scene off whyte Ave. Rezpekt.
Food was beyond exceptional and prices are good. The atmosphere is unique with the graffities. I can without a doubt recommend the stir fried squid, kimchi soup, and kimchi bulgogi pizza. This is also a family owned and run restaurant so I'm more than happy to support them. I had the Kimchi Backbone soup and the Stir Fried pork.
This place on Whyte Avenue quickly became one of my favorites. It's well-known among many Koreans for its friendly service and delicious food. I visited three times just this week. That's how highly I think of it.
They don't get paid enough for dealing with all the drunk people omg, but I always end up going at 3am for spicy veggie udon. Plus you can just save out and read all the random stuff on the walls and tables 3
