We got the army ramyun and bulgogi bibimbap. I was SO excited to see them advertise gimbap by using Extraordinary Attorney Woo (kdrama) and when I wanted to order, the waitress said they were sold out :( I was quite surprised by the bibimbap portion and veggie selection. Overall it was delicious but the soup was a disappointment because I think it was just ramyun powder soup base..... The army ramyun was very cheesy and flavorful. Personally I would give it a 3.5 and I might come back for gimbap!

This is the first Korean restaurant that I've been to, that did not offer free side dishes. (And I love Korean food that I've probably had it for over 22 years!) It was indeed a big disappointment. My friend did mention that one could buy it since it was on the menu. I did not see it. But still!! Not happy. The soon tofu soup did come mild in spicy which was nice. I like how it came in a small tray. Standard soup, but $2-4 more than other places that I've been to. The rice was not hot at all. Water was provided instead of the standard hot tea. Verdict: I would not go back.

Although I did not try to bite the claw with my teeth as I was worried about breaking my teeth. Almost every table has the crab as well as the Korean seafood pancake. It was huge and we had to take a lot home. I also really enjoyed the steam egg and the soon tofu with seafood, I got it less spicy and it was still a bit spicy for me. Overall, I enjoyed this place, the price was a bit higher for other Korean restaurants, but everything was fresh and tasty.

Definitely not my first time here as I've come with family or friends over the past 15+ years, every time, leaving very satisfied. Made sure to arrive for opening time to get a table right away since based on past experience, the wait can take some time, especially for dinner or on the weekends. Of course, had to order my two favourite menu items: 물냉면 - Mool naengmyun (Cold Noodles) and 김치찜 - Kimchi jjim (Braised Kimchi with Pork Belly). Have tried their other dishes in the past, which are pretty standard, but always find myself still gravitating back to these two. The slushy broth is always so tasty and refreshing! They also bring out a good variety of 반찬 - banchan (side dishes). Parking was easy to find this time since we got there early, but sometimes you have to circle around a few times or park at a neighbouring plaza and walk over. Hoping they reopen somewhere else soon!

We also didn't see the previous owner when picking up. We totally regret that we didn't come back sooner to support the old man owner while he was still there. We really like him and his passion for his food and his generosity. I hope the owner who ran the shop before is enjoying his happy retired life and finally gets to move back to his country and reconnect with his family. Food-wise, it's been a while since we had the collagen soup, but it feels a bit bland compared to what we had in the past. However, I'm glad they gave us some salt and pepper on the side because adding that does elevate the soup a lot more and you can add to your liking. It's just a bit odd that they packaged the warmed soup in a plastic bag for takeout. The fried chicken is good but needed a dipping sauce (which it came with on the side) for flavour; it's not as juicy and the batter isn't as fluffy as I once remembered it. Also, the prices are higher, which could be due to the rise in costs, but there are no more takeout specials; we're paying the same rate as if we were dining in. Portion-wise, it's just barely enough to feed two for $45, including tax. Though I did have a side piece of bread at home, which was all that's needed for a more filling meal. The soup includes rice and two side dishes. All in all still a delicious meal.

Disclaimer: this review is for my visit in the summer of 2023…read more I can't get over all the 4-5 star reviews for this place. I have been wanting to try this place for a while since there aren't too many Korean restaurants that specialize in Seol-lung-tang in Toronto. So when I invited my sister out for our monthly lunch date, I was very very excited. Entering the restaurant, I was shocked by how dumpy the place was as some reviewers described the place as cozy. There were maybe less than 10 tables with wobbly wooden partitions haphazardly strewn about in between them. The black tabletops had visible wipe marks from being wiped down with unclean cloth. There was also an off putting smell that I couldn't quite pinpoint to and this should have been my cue to leave but we decided to give it a try since we drove some way to eat here. Since Han Oak claims to specialize in their soups, we ordered their Tteuk-Seol-lung-tang (Special beef bone soup) in both regular broth and spicy broth. Our soups arrived in tiny earthen bowls that the word "Tteuk" describing the menu item was put to shame. Despite that "Tteuk" was supposed to have extra meat and larger than their regular size, our portions were dismal. However, the small portion in this case turned out to be a blessing as I knew that the off putting smell I had smelled upon entering the restaurant was coming from the actual soups themselves. Against my better judgement, we ate the soups and both got sick later that day. There was nothing special about the flavours of their soup nor was it really a product of a long-boil as they claim. The soup was milky (typical of Korean bone soups) but light on depth and flavour which was beyond disappointing. Also, typically in Korea, any restaurant that specializes in these types of long-boil soups have superb kimchi; unfermented napa cabbage kimchi and well fermented radish kimchi. The kimchi that came out with our meal, both napa cabbage and radish, were too sour and well beyond being acceptable as a banchan. They should have cooked with it instead of serving it as a side. The lone server was busy staring into her phone the whole time we were eating and this ridiculous meal came to a little over $50. I will not be returning to this restaurant and my search for an authentic Seol-lung-tang in Toronto will continue.

The portions here are massive and very reasonably priced, so come hungry. The jap tang had a generous amount of seafood, all cooked perfectly, and the mapo tofu was silky soft, nutty, and had just the right amount of heat. The tangsuyuk portion was huge, with pork that stayed crispy on the outside while still juicy inside. The sweet and sour sauce was ridiculously good. The jjajangmyeon was much larger than we expected and honestly could have fed up to six people. The noodles had a perfect chewy texture, and the sauce was rich and deeply umami without feeling greasy at all. We also appreciated the added shrimp and scallops in the sauce, which made it feel even more satisfying. We easily left with enough leftovers for two full meals.

The restaurant itself is large and spacious which was perfect for our large family gatherings.

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.
