Came here on a Friday. Lots of parking in the back. Lots of seating too even though they probably…read moremostly do takeout. Owner was nice. Let us try Tabokki which was good. It was very soft and not too spicy. Kids liked the Spam daebop and the spicy pork cupbop. Found the beef soy one a bit too sweet. We were all super full after. Wanted to try the Hwachae but it's only a summer item. Amazing overall and look forward to come back in the summer to try the Hwachae

Location/Service This place is right in the intersection of…read moreBayview/Major Mac, but it is in a smaller plaza right across the high school. It is a little tricky to access the plaza, but there is actually plenty of parking behind the store front that no one never realizes. Inside is pretty big, a lot of tables available to dine-in. You can have it to-go as well, which I seem to see it's like that most of the time. The owner, Peter, is a very nice guy. He explains all the items very clearly, provides good recommendation and makes sure you feel welcomed and enjoys the food. Food This place specializes cupbop - which actually is a classic staple street style food in Korean. It's kind of like a bibimbap, something you add together and mix it up. But cupbop usually also have macaroni salad, stir fried kimchi and a choice of protein like spam, pork, beef. It is a very hearty bowl, definitely good portion size and filling. And it's only $12.99 - that's pretty affordable in this current economy. Besides cupbop, they have street style Korean snacks like their toast, skewers and I think they started doing tteokbokki too. Honestly, this is a small business that deserves more recognition and it is very convenient for kids across the school and anybody in the neighbourhood.

Ahzimae Zipbap is one of my favourite Korean soup restaurants in Toronto. The vibe is like a…read morefamily-operated restaurant, very cozy. My friend and I ordered Busan style pork soup & spicy pork noodle soup. Food was seasoned well and had good flavours. Both delicious, and the noodle was a bit chewy, I love it. Soup looks big in the picture, meal came with three side dishes. The staff is very nice, and asked us if we need to refill our side dishes, which was very considerate! One cons - when compared to other soup restaurants, it is a little bit expensive. Overall - 4.5/5

So obviously I got intestines because we all want to look young and chalk full of collagen right? The intestine hot pot was $40 and came grainy. Like there was still poo in the tract or something.

Visited this place for their authentic Korean kalguksu (Korean knife noodle). This is hands down my…read morefavourite place. Their kimchi is absolutely delicious! They have a 10% cash discount promotion currently. Don't miss out this deal! Kalguksu knife noodle soup $12.99 is a must order. The noodles are so fresh and chewy. It comes with minced spicy pork meat, carrots, zucchini and onion on the top and it pairs well with the noodle. Broth is flavourful yet light. Perfect for winter. Steamed king size mandu $14.99 is one of the top mandus I've tried. The minced pork fillings are juicy, tasty and flavourful. It has small diced onions mixed in for a crunchy texture. Braised pork meat $38.99 comes in a steamed pot to keep it hot while you eat. The portion size is huge and I loved the thoughtful idea of steaming while they serve it. The pork meat is tender and good fat and pork skin ratio. Dip this in gochujang (korean red chili paste) or wrap with lettuce and kimchi altogether for a refreshing bite. I will definetely come back whenever I crave for authentic Korean dishes.

A family style Korean dumpling and shabu shabu restaurant in a quiet plaza with lots of parking…read more Love their giant dumplings, which can be ordered in 3s or 6s on its own, or as part of a noodle bowl. We also tried a garlic Jokbal this time. It comes as a hot pot and with a variety of wrapping veggies. I m surprised at the size and the sweetness of the yellow garlic paste. The noodles soup is very good, both in the chewiness of the fresh noodles and the beef broth with pepper. Service is hospitable, decent and kind, even though servers don't seem to speak too English well. There's lots of smiles. Korean side dishes are lacking, here they serve only kimchi, although the kimchi is very tasty!

This is a take-out only restaurant. I believe it's run by a older Asian couple and they're both…read morevery kind. They are located on Hwy 7 in a small lot with four parking spots at the front. We ordered the bossam, seafood pancake, and budae jeongol and the bill came to ~$100. The bossam was quite a large portion and the flavour was quite delicious. Our favourite item was the seafood pancake. We devoured that and if given a choice to only order one dish, I would definitely recommend the seafood pancake. The budae jeongol (as a solo dish) could easily feed two people. They pack the soup in two large circular soup-like takeout containers and the ingredients in a square container - same as the ones that the bossam and seafood pancake came in. There were plenty of tteokbokki, sausages, cabbage, and ramen noodles. We put the dish together in a wok and kept it heated on a portable induction cooktop. They gave four containers of banchan: fish cakes, japchae, radish kimchi, and mandu. My only complaint about this experience (4.5/5) was their inaccurate waiting time. I called in around 5 PM on a Wednesday to place my order and they quoted that the order would take around 20 to 25 minutes. I showed up ~30 mins after I called and they didn't have the food ready until 5:50/5:55 PM. I understand that they're busy, but I would have appreciated a more accurate wait time.

My go to take out Korean food spot!…read more This spot is on Highway 7 between Kennedy and Warden. It's a take out spot only and has no tables for dine in. I usually call in advance to order and pick up. Things that I love the most: Pork bone soup 5/5 - So hearty and tasty. On the spicier side but a must get! I usually get their hot pot size of pork bone soup to share with others. It comes with lots of pork bones and a huge piece of potato. Bossom 5/5 - I love their bossom here. The only complain is that their bossom comes with lettuce rather than napa cabbage. Still super delicious though. Banchans 5/5 - Their kimchi is the best banchan they have. I often times also buy just their kimchi to take home as it's very garlicky, fresh and delicious. Spicy pork rice 3.5/5 - A good rice option, but I still prefer their soup better. Jajangmein 3.5/5 - Another one of those dishes that I can skip. Only get it so that we can have a variety saucey noodle dish. I can't recommend this spot enough. Make sure to get their kimchi! But also make sure to check your order before leaving. One time I was there, there was a flustered teenager working the front of house. Because I'm a regular there, I touched my order he handed to me and noticed there was no hot soup burning my hand while holding the take out bag. When I brought this up, the chef came out and also mentioned that he had forgotten to pack my two containers of soup. Thank goodness I checked. Unfortunately when I got home, I noticed that he also forgot to pack my two white rice that comes with my soup. So just make sure to double and triple check before leaving when you get your take out! Other than that, it's a solid 5/5 for me!

Homey and hearty noodles and dumplings…read more Atmosphere: This is a cozy restaurant with a very comforting and homey atmosphere, with food to match. There were smaller tables throughout and it was quite casual, with families and friends gathering. Food: The kimchi tasted very fresh and light, with a hint of spice but less fermentation than grocery-store kimchi. The bossam set was nice with some radish and vegetables to balance out the richness of the pork. The noodles tasted very springy and fresh, and had a great texture and chew to them, with some beef and a couple of nicely filled gyoza to tie the dish together. Overall, the food tasted very hearty but the portion was on the smaller size for the price. Service: The staff were warm and inviting, and the tea brought out quickly and food arriving shortly after. Servers were out of the way and you pay up front/at the counter. Great bowl of noodles and gyoza on a cold Wintery day

This has to be my favourite Korean Restaurant of all time! Perhaps it's because of the kimchi. It's…read moreon the sweeter side and I can truly eat so much of this because it's not that spicy, mild for sure. We always order the chicken katsu box, pork bone soup, and boneless chicken soy from time to time. The chicken katsu I feel got better and better as time passed. The pork bone soup is almost always tender and falls right off the bone. It's absolutely delicious. The boneless chicken soy kind of got worse as time went by. They gave big pieces of boneless chicken the first few times we got it, now they give small pieces of chicken, good portion of course, but some of the pieces were just batter. It is tender though so that's not too bad. I completely forgot to take pics but I will be ordering here again. Forgot to take them because we devour the food immediately as soon as they arrive... Can't wait for Korean food again! On a side note, we always ask for extra kimchi and they always give more!

Absolutely LOVED this place!!…read more Ventilation was good so it didn't feel stuffy. It's a very causal, homey kinda feel. The server lady was very nice. She speaks cantonese. She checked if we enough side dishes and all! Lamb was very good, and it was a $23.99 combo to pair with the mini pork bone soup, which was very filling and tasty! Although mini, it was still a good portion. I was told that the bibimbap was amazing and it was very hearty. I'd def come back. I recommended this place to another foodie friend and she loves this place too!
