This is a great local Korean spot located in the food court area of the Galleria. I often come here…read moreif I want decent Korean food with no strings attached. FOOD (3/5) We always order a Soon Tofu stew and Kamjatang (pork bone soup). Both stews are served in a traditional hot stone bowl and comes with rice and some banchan (side dishes). Both stews are have a flavourful and mildly spicy broth. The Soon Tofu comes with a decent amount of tofu but is a bit shorter in seafood with usually a shrimp and pieces of squid and mussels. The same can be said for the pork bone soup as it doesn't typically have as much meat on the bone as other Korean restos. The side dishes it comes with are bean sprouts, kimchi, and pickled turnip. SERVICE (n/a) Since it's part of a food court, it's all self service and served on tray which you bus yourself back on the rack in front of the restaurant. VALUE (4/5) The dishes are usually about $3-4 cheaper than comparable Korean sit-down spots (eg. Owl, BCD). Because it's food court style, you don't have to pay for the service or tips. OVERALL (3.5/5) Jinmee is great spot for a quick hearty Korean meal. If you're looking for a nice sit down spot with homey ambience, this isn't it. Quick, easy, tasty, and good value. Will continue to be a go-to spot for me.

We had the pork bone stew (#1 on the menu) and the spicy seafood tofu stew (#3 on the menu). Both were $10.99 so pricing here is pretty decent considering most places charge upwards of $15 these days. There was a sign emphasizing that they don't use MSG in any of their dishes. Stews are served with purple rice and 3 side dishes - kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. The pork bone stew was good but the meat wasn't "fall off the bone" and could have been softer. The spicy seafood tofu stew was as expected and had a bit of seafood, zucchini, tofu, and an egg in it. Both soups for the stews were flavourful!

This take-out restaurant has unique Korean style burgers as well as conventional ones. This store…read moreis a combination of convenience store, fast food take out and gelato shop. They make everything to order so service time can be longer than you would want but cooked fresh. They are not very busy but have a steady amount of customers. I ordered the bulgogi burger combo ($10~). The bun is a little larger than a regular burger. I would have liked a little more meat but it tasted good. The server forgot I ordered a combo so it took longer to get the fries ready. The fries were similar to Costco fries. Thick, crispy but there's not that much. For $10 I think I would get more value ordering a bulgogi rice dish. You would get more meat but it's not surprising they would put a price on this unique fusion idea. I would recommend just getting the burger though

I had lunch at Huh Ga Ne in the same plaza, and saw that this place was advertising homemade ice…read morecream, so I went to check. Turns out it was gelato. This fine food mart is cute. It's more like a Korean convenience store (mostly food) than it is a fine foods store, but that's alright. Upon entering, there's gimbap and soy sauce eggs and stuff. They have a plethora of cup noodles for you to choose from (+$0.99 if you want them to cook it for you). There's also plenty of snack foods. At the back, they have a small gelato bar (10 -15 or so flavors) and a cooked food bar. Gelato starts at $3.99 for a small (includes one topping). Toppings are contained in large ice cream cups with lids? Something like that. Couldn't really see what was in them though. I had one of their tirimisu gelato specials (prepackaged. $2.99). It came with a sprinkle of cocoa powder on the top, for some added visual appeal. Taste-wise, it was almost like butterscotch mocha, but not strong at all. It also wasn't as creamy as gelatos I'm used to. It's okay, but it isn't great. Side note: They have daily $5 hot meal deals. If I'm in the area, I might come try them.

I love Kim's a la cart primarily for the experience. Literally everyone I brought here would be…read moreguaranteed to have a good time, standing beside the stance and eat. I especially love eating the fish cake soup when it's snowy in the winter - it really makes you feel like eating street food in Asia, which is one of the most nostalgic experiences I had in my childhood... Don't get me wrong - the snack is still delicious and affordable (tho they usually come in small quantities). It is ALWAYS a fun, cute and cozy experience though

Korean food cart attached to the outside of H Mart!…read more Items are very hit and miss. My gf and I have come back on numerous occasions. In particular, their rice cake skewers is the best item imo. The rice cakes are nice and crispy on the edges. The chicken and pork belly skewers are ok. I think I prefer the pork belly skewer more but the chicken was still moist. I think it's got more to do w/ the teriyaki sauce being kinda mid haha (I'm pretty sure it's not homemade sauce). We've also tried the brown sugar pancakes and they were prolly the worst item. They weren't crispy at all (kinda soggy actually) and there was almost no brown sugar in each one. Definitely wouldn't recommend these. Between the custard and red bean waffles, I personally prefer the custard flavour while my gf prefers the red bean. The only thing that kinda piques my curiosity still on the menu is the udon, the meatballs and the fish cakes. Debit and cash only. No parking lot nearby.

TLDR: Super tasty; when they say it's spicy, IT IS SPICY; bang for the buck; get the redbean…read morewaffle!!! This one was beside the HMart in Yonge and Churchill. I was just doing my daily walk goal and good thing i brought my wallet. In the first picture, you'll see the menu. It's really cheap and this is something i would spend for a snack. It was hard for me to find a spot where I can eat all the stuff I got. well, it's a street food anyway. I bought like 7 items in total but they didnt give me a bigger brown bag :( im not sure if they have but it would come handy for people who would like to buy more Flavour: Im not good with spice but for some reason, I was able to tolerate the spice on this one. It doesnt really burn and I could still taste the flavour along with the spice. I love the redbean waffle! It comes in 3 :) it was too hot so make sure you wait for a bit! It's so soft and still good to eat after a few hours

You get what you pay for: cheap Korean street food that's premade from frozen (except the taiyaki…read morethat's made on the spot). The soups tastes like miso soup that you would buy from the store, very salty. All the seafood are very fishy tasting. Everything is drenched in either a spicy sauce or teriyaki sauce. The taiyaki was crispy on the outside and filled with red bean paste which would taste better if it were a tad bit sweeter. I did enjoy the Bulgogi, Kim-Mari and the spicy ketchup based sauce. There was no line up when we went, staff is friendly but there is a definite language barrier; I had to repeat my orders a number of times. My food was barely warm, maybe it's better during the rush hours. The soups, however, were piping hot! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If I was in the area, had only a few coins in my pocket (items range from $1.25-$5), and was hangry, I would stop by again.

Nice and quiet on a Monday for lunch. Gamjatang feels like it needs a potato. Loved that we could…read morehave a refill of potato banchan though. Portion size was great! My friend had galbitang which she enjoyed. As for accessibility, there is a step up to the doorway and stairs to go down to the bathroom.

This is a pretty average Korean restaurant in Toronto's Koreatown. Given how competitive the area…read moreis with so many great options, it didn't particularly stand out. We ordered the army stew (budae jjigae), and it was decent but nothing memorable. The flavors were just okay, and overall it felt like a standard experience. I think the menu could benefit from offering a wider variety of soup dishes to stand out a bit more. With so many strong competitors nearby, a bit more uniqueness would make a difference.

Cupbap is basically the Korean version of a rice bowl -- rice, meat, sauce, and different toppings…read moreall mixed together in one bowl. It's especially common around university areas in Korea. Their signature dish is the grilled pork belly Cupbap, and you can customize it with extra toppings. I added corn, mashed potato, and roasted seaweed flakes, and it also came with sweet-and-savory Korean glass noodles on the side. What surprised me most was that the pork belly wasn't just placed on top straight from the pan -- it was actually grilled first. The edges had a slight char that brought out the pork fat aroma even more, while the inside still kept that juicy, slightly chewy texture you want from Korean BBQ pork belly without becoming dry. Once mixed with their house-made Chungneon sauce and Korean spicy sauce, it became seriously addictive. The kind of meal that leaves you completely satisfied -- honestly, even thinking about this bowl later makes me smile a little.

A really nice spot with indoor and outdoor seating! Although it's right between Chinatown and…read moreKensington Market, it's fairly quiet. Right now, they're playing FIFA games, so go there for a very mellow watch party. We tried the original fried chicken, and a small order was enough for both of us, with about 8 pieces that were cut small so there could be more crispy batter. I liked their sauce, Chungneon, which is made in-house.

Great spot in the Emerald building food court!…read more I got the steamed beef guokui platter, which consists of the bun, some side dishes, and millet congee. First off, I pretty much ignored the millet congee, since it's not really my thing. It was pretty plain, but that's to be expected. The guokui is in a completely soft bun, different from the "crispy on the outside, soft on the inside" buns you'd find in Chengdu. However, these soft buns are still very nice and fluffy, and I enjoyed it very much! The side dishes are also very tasty and have some spice. I'm personally not a fan of the numbing spice (the one that isn't spicy but just temporary coats your tongue to be void of taste or feeling) which this dish does contain quite a bit of. It was a little difficult to avoid eating those bits, which conflicted with me still wanting to eat it because the side dishes themselves were very delicious. Perhaps next time I'll try something else, or simply ask if they can skip on the numbing spice.

I found the taste somewhat artificial, and it was a bit too sweet for my preference; I'd probably request less sugar next time. The service was quick, and the store wasn't crowded.

Tip: Sign up for Edo Cash. You can earn cash towards discounted meals…read more After work on Wednesday, I had picked up an order at TSC, Canada's shopping channel. I was ready for an early dinner. I found out that Heartland Centre has an Edo Japan. I love this franchise. It's Canadian and I like the food offerings. It took me nine minutes to drive over to this eatery. It's across from Best Buy and JYSK. Skechers is nearby. What I like about this location is that it's sandwiched between Starbucks on the left and Copper Branch on the right. I love all three businesses. I was pleased. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into an available one and walked over. This eatery is large and clean. A male staffer was taking a break and chowing down. There was one customer waiting for his order. His order was ready. As he went to fetch it from the counter, it allowed me to look at the chicken ramen deal. The ramen has tonkotsu broth and it comes with a fountain drink. Sold! I got a nice, friendly woman who took my order. I went with the chicken ramen soup combo. I had my Edo rewards barcode scanned. I earn points that convert to dollars that you can use towards the cost of a future meal. Sweet! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got a cup for my drink. She gave me my order number and said that it would be called out. I used the fountain drink machine. I filled my cup with ice and then Diet Coke. I put a lid on it and fetched a straw. My drink tasted crisp and great. I refilled my cup before I left. I sat closest to the window. The male staffer was where I would have liked to have sat down, because it was a two-seater table and I'd be closer to the machine. I got another two-seater table closer to the window. The nice female staffer came over with my ramen. It was a nice service touch. I appreciated the gesture. She said that she was happy to do it. So great! It's one reason why this place gets a perfect review. The service was stellar. The chicken ramen was excellent. Sure, it's fast food. It was good. The chicken was tender. I loved the veggies. It had corn, which was awesome! The ramen was thicker than I had imagined it to be. It was yummy. I liked the broth. It probably had more pepper than I would have liked. However, it was delicious. It wasn't salty. The pork flavour was mild, but good. I drank it all up. I put away my tray and disposed of everything. It was easy throwing away each item, as the garbage area listed which items go where. I used the washroom before I left. There were two single stalls. One had a large button to open the door for accessibility. I used the one without it. The stall was clean. I also liked the hand drier that allowed me to put my drink on top of it. I enjoyed dining here. The food and drink were awesome. Staff were friendly and excellent. I'd return again when I'm in the area. (17)
