Bear in mind that when you do come here, the side dishes are limited to two free rounds. The main dishes however are large enough portions that you will probably need to take them home. I got the seafood jeon and it was very delicious. I most likely will come back to try some noodle dishes!

Hongdae serves authentic Korean dishes that are the ultimate comfort foods - from the bibimbap and…read moremandu (dumplings) to noodle dishes, everything here is excellent. Ambiance is casual, interior is clean, and service is fast and attentive. We ordered a couple of dishes and they all came out relatively quickly. The banchan (small side dishes) are refillable once only. My favourite banchan of the day were the bean sprouts and eggplant. There were lots of vegetarian and vegan options, such as the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, Vegetables Bibimbap, Mushrooms Bibimbap, Vegetables Udon, Vegetables Fried Rice, Kimchi Pancake, Soondubu-jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew) in different variations, and more. The menu was pretty extensive, covering the most typical Korean dishes from the stews and grilled items, to a few Korean-Chinese dishes (such as Jajangmyeon) and everything in between. Steamed Vegetables Dumplings were quite small individually, but came in a sizeable portion. I liked the green onion garnish. Taste-wise, they were alright. Vegetables Bibimbap was excellent - good amount of mixed vegetables (spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot strips, lettuce, bean sprouts) and the fried egg was perfectly crispy on the outer edges, with a still gooey and runny yolk. Grilled Croaker was also decent. It had a lot of small bones as it was a whole fish. It came served with purple rice, and we chose to add on extra lettuce. Seafood Knife Cut Noodles came in a big portion - with lots of slippery, thick udon noodles, pieces of seafood (mussels, clams, squid, shrimps, octopus), and a little big of vegetables (zucchini, carrot, onion). They came in a nice seafood-infused broth - perfect for a cold winter day. I'd come again for the variety of menu items they offer (especially the wide selection of vegetarian options), satisfying tastes, and great & efficient service.

We ordered the Spicy Cheese Pork Ribs, Gamja Tang, and Corn Cheese, and honestly, everything hit the spot. The spicy cheese pork ribs were really good, a little spicy but not overwhelming, and covered in plenty of melty cheese. The portion was generous too, so I would definitely recommend it for cheese lovers. The Gamja Tang was classic and comforting, with rich broth and very flavorful pork bones that made it feel extra hearty. We also ordered the corn cheese, which is something I almost always get at Korean restaurants, and this one did not disappoint. It wasn't greasy at all, and the balance of sweet and savory made every bite really enjoyable. If you love warm, comforting Korean food and dishes that are fun to share with friends, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Service was very quick , and it wasn't very busy for a Friday lunch. - noise level was good, and you talk with ease. I know I should of had the KBBQ - but it seemed a little heavy for lunch, so we got lunch combos - I got the Spicy tofu soup - all the side dishes were delicious - The soup however, was for me not even close to spicy, and also temperature was closer to luke warm, when I cracked the egg in, it barely could cook the yolk. (not sure if that was the idea, but it threw me off a bit) The rice had some hard bits which was fine when you eat it with the soup, but still strange to have harden pieces of rice when it's fresh. Will probably re-visit for the BBQ.

I feel like this place has been around for a very long time. Lots of Richlane turnover and…read morerestaurants seem to be rotating on and off but this one has stood the test of time. They're one of few korean places that cook the meat for you and insist on doing so. That aside, they have a lot of selection and all your korean staple dishes are going to be on their menu. Last time I went I got the Jajangmyun (black bean noodle) and it's solid. Great flavor and great texture on the noodles. I will say their side dishes are really good and a cut above other korean places I've been to. Hoping this one sticks around for even longer as its so consistent and reliable everytime!

The service was okay after that, not as attentive as they could've been and we had to ask for things a couple times but I understand as they were very packed. Everyone was still very kind regardless. We had the pork belly and boneless short ribs and they were good, nothing too special about it. Personally I think it was more on the expensive end for what it was. They were served with many sides and the cheesy corn was our personal favourite. Their other sides were also alright but again nothing too special. It was a very packed day so it was quite loud in the restaurant and we were almost yelling at each other from across the table, so if anyones looking for a more intimate spot, I'd go elsewhere. But again this is not their fault and is to be expected in larger popular places. It is a drinking spot too so that was the vibe they had with lots of chatter and fun bring had. Overall a decent spot for kbbq and I'd say go here more for the atmosphere more than just the food!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!…read more Everything is super fresh. The broth is hearty and feels like a hug from the inside. The dumplings are HUGE and go perfectly with their fresh kimchi on the side. They make the best kimchi out of all the restaurants I've been to, and I would come back just for the kimchi. Casual atmosphere with quick service.

Jin Korean Noodles…read more Parking: Parking can be difficult during lunch time, especial on the weekend. Atmosphere: Modern interior and good space between each table. Service: Not bad which is a plus for this type of restaurants. Presentation: Every dish looks beautiful, even the Kimchi shines. They just look appetizing (please refer to my photos). Taste: - The kimchi taste great, I just loving it. - Clam Kalguksu broth is smooth with mild seafood flavour and the noodle is bouncy. - The Korean Dumplings is cold not even warm. I already factor in my photo shooting time. Overall: This is my first time dinning at a Korean Dumplings restaurant serving cold (not warm) dumplings. Most likely the restaurant is toooooooooo busy and pre-steam their dumplings.

The broth is super flavourful and just right, not too bland and not too spicy. I've had Gamja-tang at other Korean restaurants but this one is my favourite.

I came here once before the pandemic and my impression was not bad…read more But this time I ordered the beef tendon soup with glass noodles. It is absolutely tasteless. It tastes just like hot water and even after I added salt in it, it tastes just like noodle in salty hot water. This is by far one of the worst Korean noodle I have had. Not to mention this cost $17.99. We also ordered a seafood fried udon and the portion is very very small. Less than a bowl of udon with 2 small pieces of squid and 1 shrimp. This is unacceptable. Service was slow but the waitress was very polite.

The Galbi was melt in your mouth and hits all the right notes of flavors Lastly the cold noodle was very refreshing and brought back many memories Definitely a hidden gem and the price is very competitive in today's new economy.

Gamasot, a relatively…read morenew restaurant quickly becomes one of my favourite ones, and in the "Korean food category" cannot think of a worthy competitor, not just in Richmond Hill. The restaurant is relatively small, but the flavours are great, and the hospitality is first class. It was easy to like the restaurant right from the first visit as the first dish I've tried was the Korean pancake. A very generous in size with two options (seafood and a vegetable one). This, with an excellent selection of side dishes made the first trip an invitation to repeat visits to try some other dishes on the menu. Since that first visit, I've had a chance to enjoy dinner at Gamasot a few more times. My favourite dishes are Hot Pot Bulgogi, Galbitang, Pork Cutlet and Stir-Fried Beef. The portions are very generous, and all of them have that touch of home-made cooking. Overall, an excellent experience, and the one that you feel will never disappoint

Ordered takeout from this place…read more Ambiance - 4/5: it is a small Korean restaurant located in the Starbucks/No Frills plaza. Since it is in a plaza, there are plenty of parking spots. The place is small but they have maximized their seating arrangments. Decor is simple and clean. Service - 4.5/5: I called in the order. They were pretty fast with food prep too. Unfortunately, no takeout menu available. I found the menu on Uber Eats. They said that they don't make takeout menus anymore because they change their menu often. Food - 3.5/5: ordered the following: Banchan (came with the food) Seaweed salad - tangy, had shredded cabbage Kimchi Cucumber - smoky spiciness, slow burn Kimchi radish - crunchy, more spicy than the cucumber, tangy Oxbone soup: - came with salt on the side, add to taste. I only needed to add in about 1/3 of the salt - broth is bland at first but the ox flavour comes through later - no bone, just beef brisket slices - comes with glass noodles Pork belly - small for a whole pork belly, came on a bed of raw onions, a little dry - the nappa cabbage was shredded so I couldn't make it as a 1 bite wrap - the garlic was not fully cooked but surprisingly did not that raw spiciness (which I appreciate) - came with saamjang on the side. I didn't use much. I found it too salty and overpowered the pork belly - not sure if the rice is for this or the oxbone soup but I ate this with the rice Bulgogi dolsot bibimbap - not dine in so no hot stone bowl - lots of rice but there were still a decent amount of toppings!¡à - bland, came with gochujang on the side - added soy sauce, seasame oil and a small amount of gochujang when I ate it Accepts debit/credit/cash. 5% discount with cash, 10% if order is more than $100 before tax Overall 4/5: I would like to try dine in and take a look at the physical menu

If you like Korean food, here's a neat spot to get your fix in Richmond Hill…read more This restaurants used to be a BCD dine-in location but still serves the famous Korean soon tofu soup. The location isn't very well known as you have to make a bend at this grocery plaza. However it's much better than the tofu soup that's at the nearby food court. Silky tofu soup comes with a raw egg inside that cooks in the boiling hot soup. Heat levels can be chosen to fit your appetite. It's a standard meal but feels just right. We also had the dolsot bibimbap as well in the hot stone bowl. The taste was bang on, we enjoyed the crispy rice bottom provided by the hot stone. Four banchan side dishes were provided with our meal including kimchi, mung beans & soybeans while no refills were offered. The only difference here is they do not provide a pitcher to pour water for the stone rice bowl after the main meal. Skip it or hit it? We'll hit it up again despite the menu being on the pricier side. Good Korean food is worth it especially in the cold of winter!

I also got the seafood pancake & it was so big and filled with lots of seafood. The side dishes were just okay. Place is a little run down and service was alright. Nothing special to note about
