    Cold noodles with raw skate
    Stephanie N.

    Heard they were closing due to location issues so we had to come for one last meal until they are able to relocate! Got my usual raw skate cold noodles and it hits the spot! The noodles are chewy and bouncy. The raw skate was marinated well and I love eating the cartilage. It is very spicy so just a heads up!

    Spicy beef tripe soup
    Christine L.

    Visited this authentic Korean family owned restaurant which operated since 2004. This is were locals and Koreans go to for it's traditional home-style cooking. Tried their signature slushy Naengmyeon (cold noodles). The buckwheat noodles were thin, chewy and bouncy which was perfect texture imo. Soup is icy, cold and refreshing. Comes with half an egg, radishs, cucumbers and pear which pairs well with the light sour soup. Spicy beef tripe soup was umami and flavorful. We requested to lower the spicyness level but it was still quite spicy like Nongshim instant noods level. The beef tripe and turnips was soft and tender. My only complain is that there wasn't much brisket at all and it was mostly brisket meat thins. Tons of cabbage in the soup and it comes with a side of purple rice. Overall the flavours were great and service was attentive and friendly. It's free parking so make sure to come early because parking space is limited.

    For $50.95 the price of the gamjatang jeongol may seem steep but it's the equivalent of three (if not four) pork bone soups. Even though the menu states it serves two, the dish is enough for four people if you add an appetizer and extra bowls of steamed rice. In fact, when the metal platter first arrives with uncooked glass noodles sitting on top, it's so full that our server removes two bones and soup into a separate bowl to make room for the noodles to cook down. The pork bone was boiled long enough so that they easily broke apart, allowing us to get to the meat without much work. Yet, the broth just wasn't flavourful enough. Yes, it satisfied but didn't contain enough spice to really whet the palette. Luckily, Cho Sun Ok's kimchi had more than enough heat to make up for the tame gamjatang broth. Combining a hunk of meat, a scoop of rice, and a piece of the crispy fermented cabbage made for a great bite. I was so impressed by the side dish that I got a small tub to go ($11.99). The meal arrives with a nice selection of banchan including fish cake slices, kimchi (cabbage and daikon), sesame oil laced bean sprouts, and chewy gelatin slivers. It was more than enough for our duo, but they regularly came by to see if we needed anything else anyways. If anything, what stood out most about this visit was the attentive service. Despite being packed and us sitting in the far corner of the dining room, food arrived quickly and there were always people walking by at regular intervals, so no one felt ignored.

    This is one of my favourite Korean restaurants along Yonge. When it's cold out, this is the type of food I crave for, a stew with a side of soondae. This is a good amount of food and I usually leave with leftovers for the next day. I need to cross the city for them, but it's worth it. Be prepared to wait for a table, but they usually turn over very quickly.

    Came for lunch on a Sunday and was seated right away. This restaurant is known for the cold noodles. As it was cold out only tried one. The cold noodles were very tasty with the broth coming from ice slush. The other dishes were quite good as well and the identities were good. Service was decent and efficient.

    Kimchi jjim jeongol
    Cynthia Y.

    Small korean restaurant known for their cold noodles. This time we tried the cold noodles with a side of steamed dumplings along with a kimchi jjim jeongol (hot pot). The hot pot is nice and comes with 2 rice and side dishes (refillable). Nice variety of side dishes, we had 7 different kinds :) portion size is generous. Overall pretty clean as well, but small tables, so not good for big groups. Service is quick and friendly.

    Heat wave is here, so the only correct option for a hot day meal is too cool off with some korean cold noodles! We each got the classic cold noodles and paired with fried and steamed chives dumplings. The slushy broth is actually so flavourful and has such an amazing umami flavour. Noodles are nice and chewy, plus the cucumbers and radish adds a nice crunch. It's such a refreshing dish, sooo good!! Just keep in mind this place is always packed so go early to leave your name down.

    Kalbi
    John Y.

    Sunday is Korean food day, highly recommended by a friend, why not. Went for lunch, get there before 1230 to avoid a wait. Check out the menu, descriptions sound authentic, however never judge a book by is cover. Far from being a connoisseur, I've been to enough Korean restaurants and even to Korea to know what is good and what is fake wannabe (can I use this word) Korean food. Ordered the Kalbi Tang (friend's recommendation) and Bibimbap. The Kalbi Tang broth had a clear, rich savory slightly beefy flavor profile, honestly it was in my opinion no different than many other broths I've tasted. The glass noodles were firm, the star of the show was the Kalbi short rib beef (bone in). 6 large pieces, meat was thick. tender, falling off the bone good. In fact. I thought the ratio of meat to noodles was too much, sorry meat lovers. Their BiBimBap is now one of my favorites. The stone bowl was scorching hot, really gave you a nice even layer of crispy rice at the end. Vegetables, mushrooms, meat plentiful and with the added gochujang sauce, each spoonful was a flavor bomb of textures, freshness and Korean goodness. Staff were kind and efficient, they even came around and asked if you wanted extra side dishes, yep, they asked before you asked, no kidding. Sorry, no BTS or ATEEZ music playing in the background to distract your eating so bring along a lucky someone that will keep your attention., you know who they are.

    Kimchi jjim with pork belly
    Chloe C.

    Food was tasty! It was a hot day so the cold noodle hot the spot although a little pricey. Kimchi jjim was great and a huge portion. We had leftovers. Such a great variety of banchan too. It gets busy very quickly, but service is pretty efficient so you'll get seated relatively quickly.

    Kim chi pork belly soup

    Great Korean eats. Very friendly fast service and nice private booths. We ordered the Kim chi soup and Korean short ribs. Very good!

    Are you looking for authentic Korean food? This place doesn't take reservations so we came earlier around 6pm on a Friday night and it was already packed with a waiting list. We were seated in a booth table for 4-5 people. It was so cramped with the 6 of us which made the dinner less enjoyable so I won't be coming with friends next time as it doesn't appear that they have bigger tables for 6 or more people. It was our first time here so I wanted to try everything. We ordered quite a few items to share so it was nice to try a bit of everything so I know what I want next time. The Gamjatang and and kimchi pancake were amazing and their Mool Naengmyun (cold noodle) was really refreshing. I would definitely be coming back as there were still so many other dishes that I want to try. Maybe I'll try Soondae (Korean sausages) next time if I'm feeling adventurous!

    Cold noodle
    Marianna L.

    This has to be the best Korean restaurant in the GTA. The food is phenomenal, fresh, flavourful, and really high quality. I usually get the kalbi tang or the cold noodles and they are soooo good. I honestly can't rave enough about how satisfying every meal here is. No, it's not as cheap as some of the Korean spots in Chinatown, but it's also not that much more and the difference in quality is totally worth it. I just wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time.

    Janey T.

    The pork bone soup was nice and flavourful! Dumplings were very crispy!! Always busy here and a lot of authentic Korean food choices on the menu.

    Jokbal is a unique traditional Korean feast…read more Hanyang Jokbal in North York specializes in Korean braised pork hock. Hanyang was the prior name of Seoul, where this dish gained popularity. The Half & Half platter ($44) featured their original jokbal and our pick of garlic bossam. Both braised meats were soft with savory grilled flavor, while the jokbal skin had a gelatinous texture. Pork hock isn't exactly my preferred cuts but these had no gaminess; a slight disappointment was the chunky cuts instead of slices. The meal started with a salty bean sprout soup that helped to cleanse the palate. Lettuce wraps & garnishes such as kimchi, jalapeño, scallions were provided to balance out the meaty flavour. Seafood pancake ($24) was crisp and contained plenty of scallions and imitation crabmeat. For some fun, our party added several orders of DIY Seasoned Rice Balls ($12) which came with a variety of ingredients to mix using the provided plastic gloves. The tasty rice balls were easy to make with furikake, nori, mayo, sesame & tobiko. It was so easy even kids could make them. The interior became busy on our weekend visit, in a typical Korean restaurant atmosphere that felt authentic and welcoming. The staircase down to the basement washroom needs a clean and the utensils also required a replacement. The meal itself was tasty with portions large enough for sharing, making it a worthwhile family meal despite a few misses. It's the original of 5 locations now in Canada. Skip it or hit it? Even if pork hock isn't your thing, it's a spot we've enjoyed for the occasional meal.

Everything was delicious and our servers just kept the sides coming haha. They took great care of us. My only complaint was that it was so hot in our booth... when you step away to the washroom, the restaurant is well ventilated and air conditioned, but at our booth, it felt like zero air flow, we were sweating so hard while BBQ-ing. Portion size is pretty fair for what you pay for as well. Pricing can be expensive for two people, but with a group it's very reasonable. 20260703

The restaurant isn't very large, so it's worth calling ahead during peak times. Service was very good. The staff were friendly and checked in regularly. There are three menus: SushiOne, JJAJANG1980, and a SushiOne Lunch Specials menu. We tried a couple of their special rolls, which are currently 20% off. Snow Sakura ($16.00, reg. $19.99) Torched white tuna on top, with scallop, tempura bits, cucumber, and tobiko inside. Sauced with BBQ, spicy mayo, and their house blend. Fresh and well-balanced, with flavor that didn't overpower the ingredients. Super Salmon ($14.50, reg. $17.99) Spicy salmon inside, salmon on top, with tobiko, cucumber, and tempura bits. Good texture, clean taste. Both rolls had a great rice-to-filling ratio and were carefully made. I've also tried the Kalbi Jjajang ($18.50) and Rose Jjamppong ($18.50). The jjajang had rich flavor and tender kalbi, but I do think it could use a better noodle-to-onion ratio. It leaned a little onion-heavy, and since the price increases depending on protein type, it'd be nice to see more of it in the dish. The rose jjampong was creamy, spicy, and satisfying, with seafood and sausage. The flavor was great, but topping portion-wise, it felt light since there was only two pieces of sausage and about half a handful of mussels. I'd definitely come back to try more from both menus. The sushi was excellent, and the jjajang and jjampong were solid comfort dishes. Worth a visit.

Nothing too special. I didn't really like the Jaeyuk, the flavor is there but the meat just isn't tender. But I've never had tender Jaeyuk or Bulgolgi so maybe that is just how it is. The bossam on the other hand was really delicious, tender and soft. I highly recommend it. The kalguksu was great as well.

My better half for one can't resist going when we are in the mood for Korean food. Especially when we encounter cool weather, as was the case during a stormy downpour outside. There are rear parking spots and it's possible to walk through the back door though staff frowned at us going through this while a group did the same later. The menu is still simple: a small selection of Korean spicy tofu stews along with dishes like Bibimbap that pale in comparison. We always order #1 & #3. Soon Tofu ($17.50) with beef, mussel, shrimp for me; kimchi, beef, pork for her. Following the individually-portioned banchan, boiling red cauldrons loaded with silky tofu arrived hot out the kitchen and we quickly cracked an egg in to cook raw. Soup broth was rich savoury seasoning plus adjustable heat. Unfortunately the Bibimbap ($19.50) only came in one level of spice in the sauce, which was a level of heat that was too spicy for our child to enjoy. We noticed the prices were raised recently. The purple rice bottom accompanying the Soon Tofu makes for a good after-meal rice soup for which I enjoy having with the refillable banchan. Do as the locals do, and we always see this restaurant packed with Koreans. They also offer a 5% cash discount at the front counter. Skip it or hit it? Hit it for a warm Korean meal especially on a cold day.
