I was in the city for an appointment and found In Cheon House. I ordered the Spicy Seafood Bibimbap (3.5/5) for pick up, and it was ready pretty quickly. It was such a comforting dish and the portion was big. It had a diverse array of seafood (shrimp, squid, scallop) with fried egg and assorted veggies. The veggies were fresh which cut through the spice nicely. The dish was slightly on the saltier side. One important thing to note was that the server wasn't friendly at all which I was taken aback with. I walked in and I wasn't even greeted or acknowledged until I said hello. I let the server know I was picking up and was simply told to check the bag on the table myself. It felt like I was being a hindrance even though there was no one else in the restaurant. I would rather go to a different place to satisfy my Korean food cravings to be honest because of the bad service (hence, the low rating). I wouldn't come back here again. read more

In Cheon House has been serving up good Korean food for a while. They are available for delivery which is very good for the days you just don't feel like cooking and their food travels well. My favourite dish used to be their mind blowing Soon Tofu Soup. It is served hot and bubbling as it arrives at the table. The owners are very hard working and deserve to be rewarded with generous tipping. read more

I hate leaving a restaurant a bad review but its a must for this place. I ordered an pork cutlet and a beef soon tofu stew. The price was 38 dollars, the service was good but the food was not. The beef soon tofu stew had no taste and was completely bland. The pork cutlet had a nasty aftertaste, it tasted like old meat that was in the freezer for weeks/months. If you want good food, do not visit this place read more

Korean food | Chinese Owned | LLBO | Opens late So I feel like this post-pandemic experience was definitely not like how I enjoyed it before. A very Korean menu but served by Mandarin speaking servers and kitchen staff. They were quite loud with their conversations so it wasn't hard to pick up. The service was quite meh. The lady started mopping at 9:30pm while I'm the only table dining in and their closing time was 11pm. The smell was such a turn off. And to think you're that clean .. the path to the washroom was filthy. Another single patron came in at 9:45pm asking to dine in and the server kind of gave him the cold shoulder and said to him 3 times that they're closing at 10:30pm "is that ok". And all 3 times the patron acknowledged and said ya that's okay. Clearly she didn't want him in. The food was okay. Tempura was good. The lamb soup came booking hot and generous in size. However there weren't much "vegetables" other than onion and slices of potatoes. The kimchi fried rice was ok but I found it too sour and not spicy enough. I feel like Chinese people took over the old location to be honest. But they open late with lots of delivery options so that's a plus. read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Saturday night. Pretty small shop overall and it got decently busy throughout the night. They offer a very typical set of korean dishes that you'd expect that every restaurant. I ordered the Jjamppong (15.99) and thought it was just ok. It was actually a very large bowl but I thought in terms of taste it was spicy. I couldn't really taste anything else other than spice. The noodles were good and there was a ton of seafood and vegetables so I was definitely full after finishing the bowl. Service was surprisingly slow and we waited probably 25-30 minutes before everything showed up at our table. Wouldn't come back since the food was very average at best. read more

My friend recommended this place and normally I wouldn't even really trust his judgement when it comes to food as we have different palettes. But then our friend had said that she's been there quite a few times too and she's compared it to another place we've both been to. So then I thought, okay I'm willing to give this a try. The place is a hole in the wall in Scarborough and these places generally have really good food. Fried Pumpkin in Salted Egg - Sorry, I don't know what it's actually called but this was delicious. Not overly greasy but it had enough crisp to it. If you like tempura, then I'd recommend this. Would definitely order this again. 5/5. Pork Bone Soup with Ramen - I love me some pork bone soup so I got excited especially since I've been craving for a nice hot bowl of soup with the rainy weather we've been having. I generally get the original with just the potatoes but I figured why not try the one with ramen since I also love noodles. The broth was delicious with just the right amount of heat. The amount of pork bone was also quite generous, as well as the ramen which was all at the bottom. One thing though is that the noodles will absorb most of the broth, so not great if you have leftovers. What was very sweet though was that I had asked for some extra broth to take home and the woman (possibly the owner), gave me an entire to-go container. So my friend took some and I still had most of it left. I offered to pay for it but she just comped it. Very generous! 5/5. Their prices were definitely reasonable given the amount of food you get. I still have my leftovers which probably taste even better now. read more

NOTE: I'm almost confident that there was an ownership change and whoever is cooking here does not know Korean food as what they serve here is NOT KOREAN FOOD. I'm always sad when I have to write a bad update. I haven't been to this restaurant in some time and when my mom came in to visit me from Korea, I happily took her over to Incheon House for some soon du bu and kimchi jji gae. The restaurant looked different as they took away the booths that used to line the front of the dining room and replaced it with basic tables. They had expanded their menu by good 4-5 pages to include many questionable items and the alarm bells were going off in my mind at this point. Lo and behold, the banchans that arrived were sad sad sad. The kimchi was the worst I've had as under-pickled cabbage slices were haphazardly tossed in pasty kimchi seasoning. The bean sprouts were bland, the japchae tasted like tsuyu and the obligatory mashed potato was goopy and mushy. The braised beans were possibly the most edible thing. The mains arrived and the kimchi jjigae was the most unappetizing and confused version of the dish I've ever encountered. Bean sprouts, ham slices, rice cake slices, overly chewy pork slices and potato noodles were swimming in a broth that was way too acidic and didn't taste anything like kimchi jjigae. It was almost as if they had thrown in a bunch of leftover banchan into a stonepot and boiled it with some kimchi juice and water. Truly disgusting. My mom's soon du bu wasn't any better with palpable taste of ajinomoto they used as the flavour base and the old/freezer burnt mixed seafood swimming in a pot of confused broth full of potato slices. Who puts potatoes in soon du bu? Needless to say, I felt so awful about taking my mom here for lunch and will never return to this place for food. EVER. read more

Went to this place on a weekday night, and it is a pretty hidden spot in scarborough that serves korean food. This restaurant has been around for quite some time. I have to say though that overall i'm a bit disappointed in this restaurant. Although the price was decent, and the food selection was wide, the actual food itself wasn't that great. We had ordered several dishes included the hot plate pork belly that korean are famous for, and the chinese inspired korean sweet and sour chicken, along with the pork bone soup. Overall the food isn't that great, and doesn't stand out. The side dishes are slightly better as the side dishes are not bad and pretty average. i would say if your in the area and you crave korean food, you can go to the place if you want to simply satisfy that craving, but i wouldn't go here if given a choice, and probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Customer service was mediocre. Once they get your orders, the waitress will rarely check up on you to see what you need. Sometimes, it's very hard to get their attention too, so I consistently had to put my hand up for them to notice. Their side dishes isn't my favourite either. Their kimchi tastes a little dry and different from what I'm used to. The food itself is good. The pork bone soup is my favourite, and I usually get deep fried dumplings. read more

Let me start firstly by saying this place is literally the hardest little hole in the wall to find, but it's in the plaza that is right next to Sheppard road if that helps! I got the E9 bulgogi with rice and I really enjoyed it! I love bulgogi and this did not disappoint! We also got the spicy rice cakes to share and I really enjoyed those as well, def spicy! Its not the best koreon place in the area, but I was satisfied with my food! (3.5 more than a 3) read more

We did not dabble in much, we only ate the buddae jung-chol (?) For 2 people $30. In English it's called Army Stew. It's basically ramen noodles in a spicy broth with everything in it (pork, hotdogs, spam, rice cakes, tofu, beansprouts, kimchi). It's pretty awesome for a cold day if you ask me. And honestly , you can't really mess it up . It's on the spicier side, as the broth cooks it gets spicier. Comes with 2 rice. It was nicely heated inside and there were maybe a few empty tables . Considering it was boxing day, and none of the nearby sushi houses were open we were happy with our visit. Waitress was attentive but didn't talk much. read more

I was reeeeeeally craving don katsu, and didn't want to drive far. Opened up Yelp and this is what I got. A 5minute drive to satisfy my craving. Small place, watch your step before you enter. The katsu was exactly what I wanted, and the side salad was yummy. My bfs noodles were verrrrrrry bland, and the kimchi lacked flavour on all fronts. This pace also offered sushi, but we didn't try any. Would've been nice if they had bento boxes with the Don katsu. Probably won't return, unless craving katsu again. read more

The price isn't too bad either. $10 for pork bone soup is pretty common. They do take card read more

BITCH THERE WAS A FUCKING HAIR in my food. I came here with my family etc after watching a movie for some new food, we've had korean food before and this is by far one of the worst places I've been to. The prices are a little too high for the quality of food and the time we had to wait for it, others that came before us got their food faster when we had ordered the same things, spicy rice cakes. Me and my dad both ordered a stew and while I was eating, I found a single hair in it, and another hair in the side dishes. I went out of my way to write a yelp review on how bad our service was. I wont be coming here again. read more

Had to come back and write about the thing I love from here the most- the salmon lover maki. Maybe it's the different play of textures with the spicy salmon sashimi on the inside, the extra layer of salmon sashimi on the outside, sprinkled with tempura bits on the outside and then drizzled with spicy mayo. Or maybe it's their sushi rice mixture...something about this maki keeps me going back for more. So much so that the waitress told me today, "it's been an long time" (since I last saw her). Well I'm back. And sharing with you this yummy dish. Yes it's a Korean resto. But what the heck- they serve a really damn good salmon maki! Call me a Salmon lover for real! read more

I have been going to this restaurant for about 4 years now. I agree with other yelpers that the side dishes are average. But my favourite here has always been the pork bone soup, kimchi fried rice and the crispy chicken! Those three dishes have never disappointed me! It's pretty busy on Fridays and Saturdays so I suggest you to come in earlier before it gets packed. The servers are nice, but there's always a shortage of them especially during peak hours. Overall, good service, good food and is definitely one of the better Korean restaurants in Scarborough in my opinion! read more

In Cheon House - Kimchi fried rice! One of my fav dishes from here :) - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I finally found a Korean restaurant that's close to perfection. And just around t Ambience Service Food... try their gamjatang. It's unbelievably delicious. With the pork bones simmered on low heat, it's so tender. Goodbye, Downtown resto. read more

Coworkers and I went to this place because it was close to our workplace. Though this was not MY first visit, it will be my last. Food quality: food quality is okay. It's not the best or the worst, it just isn't really worth the price in my opinion. Service: when we came in, there were a couple who were just leaving, apparently they went into the wrong restaurant? So the waitress took away their hot tea that was served and put them by the cash register. When we sat down, she asked what we wanted to drink (water or tea), we chose to have tea and she brought over the ones she just took away from the couple's table. Now...if they never touched it, I personally do not mind having the tea because I don't like to waste...BUT how would anyone know that was the case? We don't know and we will never know... ANYWAY, the waitress was nice and served us well throughout our meal. Our order was: C3 (tofu stewed with seafood, $9.99), D3 (house noodles with beef and vegetables, $10.99), and pork belly and kimchi stirfry. I cannot find the item on the menu pictures posted here and I forget the exact price of the dish but our bill came out to $46.50. We each paid for our own with cash and gave, in total, 2x$20s, 1x$10, 4x$1, and 6x$.25, which comes out to be $55.50. the waitress grabs the tray just as we put down our last coins and walks away with the money. We waited for about 10min to get our change back and it never did. We then ask the waitress to bring back our change as we are in a hurry to get back to work. To our astonishment, she says "there were only a couple dimes left, I didn't think you wanted that back." What???! We tell her that is impossible because we paid $55.50. Her reply was "No I did not get $55.50, I only got 20, 20, 10, 2 loonies and some quarters." So according to her, we paid only $52 and at least $0.50. In that case, our change must have been way more than just a couple of dimes. We tell her that, she thinks for a second and says "usually when guests pay with coins, they don't want the change back." I have NEVER heard of anyone tell me this before and am confused as to what gave her the idea that we don't expect any change back at all. Even if we did only pay enough to have a couple.of dimes back, wouldn't you want to bring the change back even faster so you get your tips? So we argued with her saying this is definitely not the correct procedure and that this way of doing is incorrect, all she could do was to repeat that same bullshit excuse over and over again. We debated for about 5min, which was a complete waste of time because she was like a broken record that did not make sense, she opened the register and gave us $6 back. We took our money and left. If I could, I would rate this a negative experience. If the waitress would have just apologized for her mistake, whatever it was, I would not be here writing this horrible review. Like I said earlier, I will never go back to this place, they do not deserve any more of my money. Moral of this review, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PROOF OF HOW MUCH YOU PAID AND TO ASK FOR YOUR CHANGE BACK!! read more

I actually had 2 options fighting for top spot as my Lunch-of-the-day. One hand, the pricier($11.00+) Galbi Jjim looks authentic on paper. Two hand, a less costly Kal Guk Soo. Noodle, me, noodle, me, noo... Upon asking staff for suggestion, I chose C3 as it happens to be her Fav. C3 - Incheon House Kal Guk Soo($7.95) - Special Food Category Noodle indeed has textural chewy biteness, surprised to get quality. Broth more flavourful than Clear Broths(that need salt/pepper to taste). Portion is undeniably an intensive Meal in itself, time consuming in fact. The only downside, Oil from Pan-fried Toppings were poured on top. Leaving the top of the soup broth more oily than needed. 3.5'd I think I will stick with the Special Food Category also for next time. At least to figure out why 6(!) Kimchi Wang Mandu would cost $8.95(?). Koreans must know something different about Dumplings Chinese don't. read more

this place is expensive and terrible Korean food. it does not taste like authentic Korean food! the four side dishes they give you taste awful and are not comparable to the variety of side dishes that other places give you. service was slow-only one waitress was working. the dish I ordered was stir fried pork with veggies - warning do not get this! it taste like poorly made Chinese food with tons of msg. way to salty and the pork was too chewy. skip this place next time you want Korean food! there are many other places that offer real Korean food with a good variety of side dishes and food at a reasonable price! read more

i came to this place because i wasnt feeling for OWL, i wanted to try a different korean restaurant and it was already very late. when i saw the menu, i instantly regretted my decision. Its definitely on the pricey side for a typical restaurant. Im okay with that if their food justifies the price. But the problem is it doesnt. 1. crappy sides 2. portions are small (especially the side dishes.. i provided a pic) 3. i left hungry 4. pricey bottom line.. it was a one time thing.. i would not come back here. read more

In Cheon House - Really crappy sides. And portion is lacking. This is for 2 people. Two pieces of Kim chi - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Depending on the dish you get, your opinion of this restaurant changes. Some dishes have good portions and are really filling, while some dishes are really lacking in size. The side dishes they give are average, and so is service. Incheon House provides both Korean and Japanese food, and the quality of each dish changes depending on your order. It really is a place where you have to try a bunch of different things in order to figure out what's good. Pork bone soup is usually consistently decent, if you're wondering what to eat. The salmon lover's maki is also filled with salmon pieces and can be very filling, but it is only available after 1PM as of late. I wouldn't seek this place out, but I would return. read more

It's nice that it's a Korean option in Scarborough (there aren't very many at all around here) but they have pages and pages of dishes which makes it more likely to pick a dish they're not particularly good at making. If you do come here, indeed the park bone soup is okay and you'll be safe ordering that. I tried the ramen rice cake (it's flavour was very off- it was really really salty, but is supposed to have a sweet taste) and the seafood pancake (which was also pretty bad). Anyway it wasn't worth it, think the total came to around 40 for 2 people (pork bone soup + ramen rice cake + seafood pancake) and we didn't want to take it to go. Probably won't come back unless I'm dying for pork bone soup and am very unwilling to drive an extra 15 min read more

The service is not the greatest. Not sure of the server was having an off day or she's always like that. We came here on a whim. The menu is overwhelming and not well organized so it took us awhile to get through it all and decide what we wanted to eat. Some of the items printed on the menu aren't even served. Or weren't being served that day? I got my food (bibimbap) right away and we got our shared plate (Chicken Katsu) but my friend's lunch main didn't come for ages!! Later we asked for separate bills and were told they couldn't do that. They could print out 3 bills (one for each item ordered). We said okay but instead got 1 bill with all three items on it. It just seemed like the place was disorganized with poor service in general. Our server was dropping glasses full of water near other patrons on her way back to the kitchen and just not seeming to care how her behaviour translated to customers. Maybe the food is amazing? I'm not sure... My dish was good but nothing extraordinary. Neither was the chicken katsu. So I wouldn't go here again. I'm sure I can find better places with better, more friendly staff. read more

One of the better Korean restaurants in Scarborough. Reasonably priced and friendly service with a nice variety of Korean (and some Japanese) dishes. Be sure to try their "house special" beef soup noodle. The noodles are home-made and definitely taste like it (chewy and not soft / soggy). Soup is a little bit on the garlicky side but I'm okay with that! I would not bother with the sushi there though. Slices are quite thin with minimal selection. Definitely a great alternative to driving all the way downtown to Koreatown or finding parking along Yonge/Finch to have a decent Korean dish. read more

I found this place due to my fellow yelpers. It can be a little confounding when you're in the immediate vicinity, and craving something other than Chinese cuisine. Located in an older strip plaza, there's plenty of free parking on hand. I ordered the soft tofu with seafood and it definitely delivered the savoury flavour and soft texture that I was looking for. The portions are substantial. My dining companions had the pork bone soup and the noodles with black bean sauce, both satisfying according to them. read more

Happiness. On a night where it's -25 (with windchill -35) degrees, all I want is hot pot or spicy Korean soup. We opted for the latter tonight. My first time at In Cheon. My brother's recommendation. Sides: Kimchi, bean sprouts, japchae, beans in sweet soy, mashed sweetened potato. The last one was delicious. Had I not been trying to watch the carbs, I would have eaten quite a bit more. Ordered: Gamjatang Jeongol ($22.99?)- Pork bone soup, family style. Four big, meaty pieces of pork bone, potatoes, 4 dumplings, rice cake slices, sprouts, veggies, kimchi and enoki mushrooms, plus two bowls of rice. They supposedly make their broths without MSG. Good stuff. Would definitely feed a minimum of 2 people, if not 3 people. Grilled mackarel with soondubu chigae ($11.99) - Grilled mackarel was a good sized piece of fish. Super fresh. Served on a sizzling plate. Skin was crisp. Flesh was tender. Soondubu chigae, or soft tofu soup, comes with either seafood or beef. I chose seafood. Shrimp, mussels, mussels. Lots of seafood in this soup. I was impressed. This combo comes with rice. For $11.99, it's a super deal! It thrilled the cheap Asian in my father's blood. It was tasty too! Seafood Pa Jeon ($13.99?) - BIG portion. Lots of seafood. Inside was lovely and soft. Outside was crispy. Everything I want in a giant seafood pancake! Oysters, squid, shrimp...my brother even found a tiny whole crab in there! If they had nothing else on their menu, I would still come back here just for this. Once again, if I wasn't watching the carbs, I'd have eaten so much more of this. Sigh. I want more. NOW. Other notes: Big tables. Lots of space. Bright space. Clean. Server understood enough English to get us our food. Spoke fluent Mandarin and Korean. She was ethnically Korean, but had spent a number of years in China. Total damage for the night after tips and before tax: $55 something for 4 people + leftovers enough for lunch tomorrow (if we cook rice). I believe I will be coming here a considerable amount in the near future. =D P.S. It's been about half an hour since I left the restaurant and my tummy is still warm and happy. Good times. read more

I ignored their rudeness in past visits, but after spending money and getting screamed at, I'll take my business elsewhere. I ordered cooked dishes and a sashimi tray, and wanted to confirm that they packed the sashimi because I assumed they wouldn't ignore food safety and pack the cold and hot dishes together. I was told to "check the order" as that helps with the bacteria issue and the lady scolded me for my troubles. read more

In Cheon House - I think B6 combo - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am a huge frequenter of Korean restaurants and this is my favourite one in Scarbs. All the food we've ordered have been good. My favourite dish is definitely their kimchi stew and I am very picky about that. It is comparable to Buk Chang Soon Tofu, but Buk Chang's is definitely the best. Their side dishes are good, sometimes under or over seasoned, but not the worst. Service is usually speedy and fast and we don't have to wait long to be seated. read more

I've lived in Scarb for years but never know this place until my friend brought me here last winter. Honestly, it's not that impressive on my first visit. Free side dishes are just so so, kimchi is not well-fermented. The owner and waitress are Korean nationality from Northeast China, and the menu is more like a mix of Northeast China dishes and Korean dishes. foods were average quality but charge a high price. The only dish I found is not that bad is the fried rice cake. It tastes good but there were too many cabbages and carrots here, maybe only 10-12 piece of rice cake can be found in that dish. I went to here a couple of times later since you can't find authentic Korean restaurant in Scarb but really want Korean foods sometime. I tried pork bone soup, bibimbap, bbq buffet and most of them disappoint me. What makes me more uncomfortable is the short fat ugly stupid waitress's attitude. Every time I drop by, she shows me a shit face like I owe her something. Once I got a gnat in my tea and she said it's normal in summer without saying a sorry. She refused to refill my side dish for no reason, with saying'it's just not allowed to refill specified dish'. That's ridiculous. She always smiles and chats with her colleagues or rich young men, and change to shit long face immediately when talks to me. I really don't know why she did that. I felt being unfairly treated and don't even want to give tips more than 10%. Like many Chinese or Korean restaurants, In Cheon offers almost ZERO service and foods are always of not good quality. I won't visit here anymore and never recommend this place to my friends. read more
