I LOVE THIS PLACE!!…read more Everything is super fresh. The broth is hearty and feels like a hug from the inside. The dumplings are HUGE and go perfectly with their fresh kimchi on the side. They make the best kimchi out of all the restaurants I've been to, and I would come back just for the kimchi. Casual atmosphere with quick service.

Jin Korean Noodles…read more Parking: Parking can be difficult during lunch time, especial on the weekend. Atmosphere: Modern interior and good space between each table. 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.

A Friend came to visit and watch the new Demonslayer movie. So we brought them here for a pre movie…read moredinner as they never had something like this. Service 10/10 - today they had 3-4 waiters/waitresses working so there was always somebody coming in to check if things needed refills. Our waiter (sorry the name is escaping me.) was a newer parttime worker but was providing us 10 out of 10 service!! Food - 10/10 we got alot more sides than normal today for our friends to try. The tteokbokki was nice and had a deep flavor. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Rice balls was nice and soaked up the tteokbokki sauce. This time we got the half half with spicy bossam and Bbq jokbal. They were both really good flavors. The store had kpop playing at a moderate volume. But we had no issues chating away while sipping on soju. Definitely recommend!

Came here to introduce our friend to Jokbal. We ordered the half and half (spicy Jokbal and the…read moregarlic Jokbal) along with the seafood pancake. We love how the sides are refillable but I don't think we ever ask for refills more than twice as the portion is so generous. Hanyang Jokbal has always been consistently good, and it's why we always come back. The portion of food is always plenty, the taste is unmatched and the sides are delicious. While the food took some time it was understandable as it was very busy. The waiter was very apologetic about the wait. In terms of the interior, it's just one more thing that makes this place such a good dining option. The interior makes you feel like you're not in Toronto. While it does get quite loud, I think it just shows how much people are enjoying the food and the vibe. Hanyang Jokbal is definitely a must!

We also had the budae jjigae (army stew), which was hearty and comforting. Everything came with classic banchan and rice, rounding out the meal perfectly.

First time in my life seeing a Korean restaurant give 2 tiny portions of side dishes when ordering…read moretakeout. Stingy and bad service at the same time. When I picked up the order, I knew I didn't ask for utensils, so I requested for them in person. The lady took the extra mile by pulling the receipt in my face to prove that I didn't ask for any in my order. When I reached out to the store regarding this, they didn't read my message and went back to blaming me again! They refused to offer any further assistance in remedying the issue.

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!

The most bang for your buck! The server filled my bowl with so much food she used aluminium foil to…read morekeep the lid and bowl together as it did not snap shut. When you order the beef bowl, you get so much more than you pay for. The first time I ordered this, I wasn't fully aware of everything that would be included in the bowl. So I watched the server add in item after item after item. I was surprised as each addition was dropped into my bowl! Crispy gyoza, fried greens, japche, and kimchi were all so generously placed into my bowl! So much flavor, so many textures! Highly recommend. Price cant be beat for the portion size! Limited to no seating, more of a grab and go type setting.

100% Korean A Must-Try Spot for Korean Food Lovers…read more 100% Korean is definitely a staple in my books. The food is always consistent, the prices are more affordable than most other Korean restaurants, and the portions are huge. One thing I really appreciate is that every meal comes with 3 banchan of your choice and the lady always loads them up generously. My goto dish is their gamjatang flavorful, hearty, and comforting every single time. Whether you're craving a satisfying meal or just love authentic Korean flavors, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommend for anyone who loves Korean food!

The food was delicious, and the lunch specials (11:00-15:00) are definitely worth checking out if you're visiting during the day. As a nice bonus, if your bill comes to $50 or more, you get free cheese balls, which were a fun surprise. Overall, a great spot and one I'd happily come back to.

De Chou has a lengthy menu to match with dishes made for a crowd. The kamjatang jeongol ($47.99) is…read morea hot pot stuffed to the gills with pork bones, potatoes, rice cakes, zucchini, and even enoki mushrooms and jalapeno garnishes. The broth wasn't very salty but still flavourful and once you let the peppers steep into the broth, they add a lovely spicy kick. Another substantial dish is the steamed pork bo saam ($49.99 for large) where slices of pork belly are kept warm on a hot plate. Diners tuck these soft meat slices into lettuce, Napa cabbage, and turnip with a smear of the savoury bean sauce for a protein packed bite. Our table was split about the haemui pa jeon ($28.99). The size of a medium pizza, it's made for a group. Personally, I found it way too thick and didn't contain enough ingredients to balance out the doughiness of the Korean style pancake. Conversely, my relatives preferred the heft as it contrasted the crispy exterior and soft interior. I guess it depends if you're a thin versus pan crust type of pizza lover. I'm firmly in the Neapolitan camp. I thoroughly enjoyed the crust that develops on the bottom of yachae dolsot bibimbap ($18.99). And the hot stone rice bowl contained a good combination of ingredients to ensure there was plenty of vegetables and beef to go around. De Chou's LA kalbi ($34.99) was rather neutral with very little sauce, so you mostly taste the beef. I personally would have preferred more sauce to help caramelize onto the beef ribs, but the older members of the family appreciated the plainness and liked that it was tender. This is a long review for the rest go to Gastro World.

(3/5) De Chou Korean Restaurant - Lunch Review…read more We stopped by De Chou Korean Restaurant for lunch today since we happened to be nearby. The sign said it opens at 11:30 a.m., and true to their word, the doors opened exactly on time. The restaurant itself is quite large and impressively clean -- that was my first good impression. We originally went in because of the sign outside advertising Korean ginseng chicken soup, but when we asked the server, he told us it's no longer on the menu. A bit disappointing, especially since my wife wasn't feeling well and I thought that soup would've been perfect for her. We ordered two Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbaps ($21.99 each). The portion was decent, but the flavor was a bit bland and not salty enough for our taste -- overall I'd give it a 6/10. We also tried the Japchae ($13.99). Unfortunately, it was too greasy, a bit slimy, and overcooked -- about a 4/10 for me. They served five small side dishes, which were just average (5/10), and a small cup of noodle soup that was lukewarm and slightly sweet -- not to my liking, as I prefer savory over sweet in Korean food. The total came to $65.51 before tip, and we left a standard 15%. To be fair, by the time we finished lunch, there were quite a few tables filled, so maybe other dishes are better. But based on what we ordered today, the food didn't live up to the price. Would I go again? Probably not.
