The restaurant is super popular and busy with take out and dine in until they closed. When we arrived at the restaurant it was an hour before its closing time and there was still three teams were waiting before us and a couple people came after us. We(3 people include me) had two original kalguksu, one kalguksu and bulgogi set, one kimchi mandu and one original mandu. The soup was very flavourful and both of mandu were very very good. Service was very quick but they were too busy to be friendly(which is understandable, they weren't rude or anything) My criticism for this restaurant, when we arrived at the place, there were no one telling us to put our name on the waiting list and the waitress were super busy. I find food is generally a bit salty side. The portion was not that big and the size of the bowl between regular order or noodle soup and set menu noodle soup was different but the actual portion of noodle in them seems about the same. If I am not craving bulgogi, I would order regular noodle soup and mandu, if I need more food, I wouldn't mind order side rice for $2. Two of the people who went there with me weren't not a big eater but there was only three mandu for leftover after this meal, so the portion is not big. All in all, I would go back and have mando and kimchi. Kimchi was good and not too salty(soup was more salty) read more

One of my go-to places in Richmond Hill for Korean food, namely kalguksu, massive dumplings, and bossam. You can see the staff making the flavourful and aromatic dumplings in house. You know they're legit when a lot of the patrons frequenting the restaurant are themselves Korean. The kalguksu broth and hand pulled noodles are like a warm hug. Have been here a handful of times already. Some staff can be a little brusque at times when it gets busy but the food is really what keeps me coming back for takeout. Great patio during warmer months! read more

I love this place! I did take one star off because the service was lacking a tiny bit,l. The staff was very friendly but it's hard to get a hold of them, maybe because we were there on a weekend. The food was super tasty, the broth was very flavourful and you can really taste the beef bone. The noodle is chewy and cooked perfectly, you do need to eat the noodle right away because if you leave it in for too long, it could lose the chewy texture and become soggy. I personally prefer the original kalguksu versus the spicy. The spicy pork was my favourite because you can taste the smokiness of the grill and it's seasoned well! Highly recommend it. The kimchi mandu giant compared to regular dumplings, it's good but nothing stands out. I would def come back and try the other items on the menu read more

Decided to check out Jin Korean Noodles because a) I was in the mood for Korean and b) I love checking out new restaurants. Upon arrival we left our name and contact information for contact tracing and had our temperature taken. We were torn between ordering noodles or trying their hot pot and decided to go with noodles since this a noodle place after all and we're so glad we did! We ordered Meat Kalguksu (noodle soup), King-size Dumplings, and Jaeyuk (spicy pork) & Kalguksu Combo. The star of our meal was definitely the noodles, they were absolutely delicious!! They were so soft and silky and had a great texture, the broth had a deep flavour as well. The combo came with a number of side dishes as well which were all tasty but the best side dish was definitely their kimchi and they provide a very generous portion. Everything we ate was delicious and we will definitely be back to try their hot pot next time! read more

First time here and it was amazing. We came on a Saturday 5pm ish and there was no wait, however soon after the restaurant was full! We got the Mandu Hotpot it was delicious and big portions, good value for money. The kimchi here also taste good, I don't know if they make it in-house. Food also came quickly. Would come back again. read more

My bf and I stumbled here last September on a whim and it's been one of our favourite places ever since!! We always get the meat Kalguksu, and it is seriously one of the best I've ever had. (And this is coming from someone who's lived in Korea for a year!). The portions are fair and the milky soup is always full of natural, clean flavour. I dream about it sometimes. We have ordered takeout from here a couple of times, and the taste has always been consistent. The packaging has been great too! The soup is still very warm after a 15 minute drive. Please order from here so my favourite place never closes!! read more

This is my go to for authentic Korean food. They got limited selection but still a decent sized menu. Everything on the menu is delicious. But their must try includes the seafood pancake and their Bulgogi & Kalguksu Combo which includes BBQ Beef Gulgogi with their signature soup with noodles. The portion sizes are also very generous too. read more

We ordered the bulgogi and kalguksu combo, king size gyoza. All were amazing and reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only downside was the space (quite cramped) and waiting area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was freezing and all the people had to crowd near the door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope they expand to other locations. read more

Came here 30 mins after opening on a Saturday and it was already filling up quickly! I called earlier in the week trying to book a reso but they said that they don't take reservations at peak hours. Luckily we were the last ones to score a table before the wait list came out so come early! Everything on the menu was very well priced, I ended up ordering the original kalguksu as well as the mandu (dumplings). The mandu was huge! It came out first and was super filling. The noodle broth was subtle but still flavourful and had a strong pepper taste. They were quite generous with the portion and I had trouble finishing the bowl. I think one bowl might be good to share with another person if you want to order more dishes to try. In terms of sides, we only got kimchi and some dipping sauce for the mandu. Overall, great price, big portions and super delicious. Will definitely come back to try more of their dishes soon! read more

If you want some good kimchi then this is the place. This is not your typical Korean restaurant and thier specialty seems to be their noodle soup and dumplings. We tried the kimchi dumplings and also got the bolgoki combo with noodle soup. The kimchi dumplings caught me off guard and I really liked them. Its hard to describe and you just have to try them. The bolgoki combo was also very good. Thought the beef portion was a bit lacking. It also came with some small side dishes but the main side dish is the kimchi. They give you a huge bowl of kimchi and this one is definitely a unique flavour flavour. I usually like my kimchi sweet but this one had strong punch of something else and wasn't even that sweet. It was so good I bought a container of kimich to go. We had a table of 4 and we asked for a second serving of kimchi which they did ot hesitate to provide. read more

Came here on a holiday for dinner and it was packed! Definitely worth the wait though. We got the clam soup noodles, and like all the reviews say, the noodles are super fresh, chewy, and delicious. We also got the pork with rice set, which was good and we loved all their side dishes that came with it! We also tried the seafood pancake - this one is probably one I wouldn't get again. It was so pricey and it felt very doughy with less seafood than we expected. Lastly, we got the dumplings and omg I loved them! The dumpling skin was thin and there was so much filling! Service was really good, but a little slow as they only had two waitresses for the entire restaurant. Interior is pretty and has a nice vibe and environment. Highly recommend this if you're craving some good noodles. We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

A great find on our quick trip to the Toronto area - the portions were generous and extremely flavorful Would definitely go next time I am in the area read more

I came twice in 2 weeks. That's how good it is. I had the cold noodles and seafood pancake on my first visit. Those were a perfect combo for a hot day, which was almost everyday this summer. On my second visit, I got the clam kalguksu, gyoza, and of course the seafood pancake again! Everything tasted great! I know Koreans like to use a lot of garlic but the gyoza wasn't very garlicky, which I love. Highly recommend the seafood pancake. Service was excellent. The lady there showed us which sauce goes with which food. Although they missed my order on my second visit, but they were very quick in getting the order up at the end. read more

Had the bulgogi kalguksu combo. Cannot go wrong with the food here. It fit my purposes very well. It's a very balanced meal for eating out. I'm trying to lose weight and also don't want overly greasy food. If you're looking for food that is inoffensive that's not too bland and not too intense, Korean food hits the spot. I have a sensitive gut and even though I am adventurous with foods, some days I don't want to deal with the aftermath. The beef kalguksu- 5/5 for me. Noodles had a nice texture. Soup was a nice clean flavor. Doesn't try to dress itself up to be anything more than it's supposed to be. Simple and does the job. Little bit of msg, little bit of real meat + broth. Good amount of black pepper for a slight surprise. Chef's kiss. Rustic, as Gordon Ramsay would say. Bulgogi- 7/10. Does its job. Good amount of seasoning. Good flavor. good texture. Kimchi 10/10. Nice. Seems like in-house prepped kimchi. Juicy. Flavourful. Seasoning balanced well. A generous serving of kimchi. Nice presentation. A pleasant surprise. Well done. Chefs kiss. Banchans 7/10. Ingredients are fresh. Seasoned well. A good variety. Bean sprouts, Jap chae, fish cake ribbons, cucumber kimchi. Rice. I mean it's rice. You can't mess that up. It's not low quality rice though. So that's a plus. I can't believe how utterly amazed I am at how simple yet well seasoned preparation of ingredients, in a well balanced meal, including a variety food groups - can be such a delightful experience. Well done. Nicely done. read more

Bossam and banchan a bit scant for the money the dumpling taste under seasoned (sorta home style) quality was good, though not very filling for the price. read more

Saw a lot of good reviews and wanted to try their giant dumplings. Saw a lot of good reviews of their kalguksu, so decided to try their Gyoza kalguksu. Definitely love their beef bone broth with their chewy noodles, was kinda disappointed with the dumplings. Maybe its soaked in the soup and the whole dumpling fell apart and soggy. Love their side dish kimchi too, taste fresh and spicy. Would definitely give another try when they reopen for dine in again. read more

Been wanting to come here for a while now. I love kalguksu, even in the summer. I usually go to the one on Bayview but we wanted to try a new place. The prices here are cheaper and they have more options such as spicy rice cakes and cold noodles if you're into that. I ordered the Kalguksu and spicy rice cakes obviouslyyyyy but it wasn't comparable to the one I normally go to. The noodles are slightly different and kimchi the most important part wasn't up to my standards. The rice cakes were over cooked and was so sticky it got stuck in my throat... :( there were some pieces that were just right though...don't think I'll be coming back :( read more

I think I've found my new favourite local noodle place! Decor & vibe: 5/5 Cozy and cute korean noodle shop. The decor is all light and bright, and the restaurant is bright and yet still cozy. It looks a little more like a daytime cafe in Korea than a traditional noodle restaurant. Food: 5/5 The food portions here are huge! We ordered the $17.99 kalguksu combos that come with a sizzling plate of meat & rice. It's honestly the portion of two full meals. I ate the bowl of noodles and a bit of the meat and I was stuffed, and had to pack the rest of the meat and rice for my lunch the next day. On top of the huge portions, they were both also sooo tasty. Service: 4/5 The service here is great. The server comes to check in on you very frequently. The entire week after eating here I was recommending it to everyone I spoke to. It's so yummy and the food is such good value. You need to try it! read more

1. gyoza (king size dumpling) $9.99cad : if you think that 6 dumplings is not a lot, you thought wrong. the size of each dumpling was huge, and they were super filling. they had a lot of different ingredients inside, such a zucchini & bean spouts, which gave it a really good texture 2. rice cake dumpling soup $10.99cad : the broth was super flavorful, and they didn't slack on the ingredients and preparation when making it. there was a lot of rice cakes and 3 huge dumplings. i couldn't make it past half of the rice cakes and had to take the rest out (ig: feedingnerris) read more

I finally had a chance to try out this place, a new Korean restaurant in Richmond Hill, known for their mega-sized dumplings and kalguksu (knife cut noodles). I got a bit of everything for take-out, was quite impressed with all the packaging and portions. The noodles were good, very smooth and chewy, a bit soft for my liking probably because it was take-out. The dumplings were yummy, wrapper was thin, pork filling lean and had lots of veggies. The bossam was the best - so tender and flavourful. I'm sure everything is even better when dining in - can't wait to revisit! read more

I've been here a couple of times now, and will continue to come back! Their Kalguksu is super yummy, and I love getting the set that comes with Kalguksu, Jaeyuk, and rice. Their kimchi is really fresh and portions are good. Overall restaurant ambience is quite nice, but head's up it's really loud inside and often have to wait for a table in the evenings. Def recommend though! read more

Perfect in every way!!! With the weekend rush, waited approx 20 mins for our table. Service is very fast, the food unbelievably good. Large dumplings perfect, Kal guk su perfect, bibim kal guk su perfect! The noodles here are perfectly cooked and the broth perfectly seasoned, this restaurant will definitely be in our regular rotation. read more

I had no expectations when I first came here, but I was pleasantly surprised how good a value it is. Ordered the Kalguksu which is their noodles, veggies, mince pork in beef bone soup for $8. You can add 2 mandu (large dumplings) for an additional $2. The noodles have an incredible texture, just the right amount of chewiness. The beef bone soup was very flavorful, and the portions were very generous too. Highly recommended. read more

It's obvious here that everything is homemade goodness. We come for lunch and dinner, and there's usually a good lineup. Every stand of noodle and every drop of broth gets slurped up to the very bottom of the bowl. Def order their dumplings - fabulous thin skin dumplings bursting with meat or kimchi stuffing. Will be coming often! read more

I came here once when indoor dining was available and had the hotpot meal with my friend. The lady that served us was so nice and we enjoyed our food. It was definitely a big portion and we could hardly finish hahaha. Today I ordered some take out and was pleasantly surprised that everything was still hot, fresh and delicious! Highly recommend if you love noodles and big dumplings!!! The dumplings are packed with the meat filling and the dumpling wrapper is perfectly thin. I also think the kimchi here is delicious. Please supporr your small local business and order some good food from here :) read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night around 6.30 and there was no line for a table of 2-4. The inside is really new and clean and felt like the tables were well spaced out. The table by the door can get really cold though! but they were nice and switched us to a table in the back when we asked. We got the king sized dumplings which attracted us here in the first place. The size is big and the skin was soft. The flavour however was a bit bland but still worth an order. We also got the seafood noodles - the noodles itself were so soft! the soup is perfect for a cold winter day and a large portion size for one. We also got the bossam combo, the meat itself was again soft and it came with a good variety of veggies to wrap it in. The tray it came in was also really cute with lots of little side dishes. The table also got a container of kimchi but I wish they had a few more sides for everyone. read more

Terrible and bland food. They Try to use chili oil to cover the bland beef soup, can taste nothing but the chili oil and flour taste of the noodle. Terrible staff attitude. We 3 people order one combo and king size dumpling since 2 of us didnt feel hungry enough to order more. Two staffs gave us offensive and aggressive look. One by one asked us about the amount we ordered. Fine! We ordered one more noodle so they finally backed off. If you have a rule each person must order one food item, why not just impose a minium charge? We just dont want to waste food. This is the most awful experience i had in markham. read more

Very busy location due to the high quality food Be prepared to wait Generous portions with a pot of kimchi for the table! Will be back!! read more

This place is okay. Not bad but not the best. Hopefully will try again and then can update this review.

First time trying Jin Myungdong and it was sooo good! The kalguksu was so yummy - noodles were made so well and the broth was also delish. The dumplings were also packed - full of flavour and ingredients. Definitely recommend trying any of their noodles. The resto also gets pretty packed at dinner time so do plan ahead! read more

I liked each of the dishes we ordered - the bossam combo, the dumplings, and the bulgogi jungsik. The side dishes were a bit smaller than average portions for the jungsik meals, but each one tasted pretty good. As with most Korean restaurants, they do give you more if you ask. The service also wasn't particularly fast, but the server was courteous and got everything right. The restaurant was also clean, with a decent amount of seating. The best item was probably their signature kalguksu (which came with the bossam combo) - the soup was flavourful and steamy hot, and the noodles were delightfully chewy! Would definitely be back for takeout, or on a weekday evening with a smallish (3-4 people) group, even if only for the noodles! read more

My favourite place for korean noodles!!! Me and my fiance get the noodle and bossam combo, and one extra noodle soup on the side to share and its the perfect amount for the two of us! The noodle texture is chewy and the soup broth is really good. The bossam is also one of the better ones I've had in Toronto! read more

It was takeout, but the noodles weren't bouncy as advertised from the reviews I read. Also, thd dumplings were quite a disappointment. They were big, but the meat filling was subpar. It was sort of mealy. Definitely need to go back and give it another try though! read more

King size dumplings (gyoza) were filling and yummy! The vinegar that came with it wasn't that sour, but still good. Gyoza kalguksu was also good, and was kind of spicy. The kimchi side dish was way too salty but the right level of spiciness. The ordering by phone and pickup process was easy and safe (the pickup area was tight so only one person would safely fit there). Would return again! read more

4.5 stars mostly because we got delivery so that affected the noodles a little bit. Short version: The food was tasty and you should definitely try it if you're in the mood for Korean food. Detailed version: We ordered through Uber eats and got the bossam kalguksu combo and beef bulgogi jungsik. It was more than enough food for 2 ppl. Let's start with the kimchi because it was SO GOOD. I think they make it in house because it tasted so fresh and delicious. Seriously, one of the best kimchis I've had since Korea. The meals also each come with banchan which are the little side dishes - 6 total and they probably change those out often but the japchae was a little hard like it's been sitting a while or not cooked enough. The bulgogi came in one of those black plastic containers pretty much filled with a lot of meat and the sweetness in the marinade was perfect for me. The bossam in the combo came with about 8 pieces of sliced pork I think? I forgot to take a picture and started devouring it right away so don't really remember now. They give lettuce, spicy radish salad, ssamjang, and the salted fermented little shrimp dipping sauce to make wraps. Onto the kalguksu - the beef bone broth was *chefs kiss*. I don't feel especially thirsty after drinking all of it so I don't think it had a lot (if any) msg. Since we got delivery, the noodles were a little stuck together by the time we got it so that would be the only complaint. Overall, great tasting food and reasonably priced. I will def give it a try dining in when it's safer to do so and see how it is fresh from the kitchen. read more
