This is one of my fav spots for authentic & hearty Korean cuisine they are often quite busy but still able to give off that homey feel They're known for their massive dumplings & kalguksu (knife-cut noodle) so ofc I had to try them - the dumplings are perfectly steamed and packed with filling while the kalguksu is a super clean & comforting dish though they're know for their huge dumplings & kalguksu, I loved the spicy ddukbokki the most - so flavourful with a perfect texture Prices are pretty good and on top of that, they offer 10% off orders over $30 when paying with cash read more

Jin was showcased all over my instagram for a period of time, especially those "GIANT DUMPLINGS". Now, that alone had persuaded me to go try this place. I called up my bff and we drove there IMMEDIATELY. lol. I guess everyone in Richmond Hill and Markham had the same idea :( Cause the line up took 45min +, to the point that people in line started to call other restaurants around the area to book a table. So what did we order: 1.) Big Dumplings= Ok, I wanted to like these dumplings... like I do when I eat dumplings anywhere in Richmond Hill. But to be honest, it just did not hit the spot. It just tasted a bit bland. And I really really wanted it to taste good. Like the wrap was good, but the inside meat and chives/noodles was not as tasty as i thought. :( 2.) Bossam (**cause ya girl loves her bossam**) = I quite enjoyed this dish, it was filling and tasted exactly how I would imagine it. Yes, there was sauce to give it a little kick which helped. 3.) Noodle combo with the stir fried beef on sizzling plate= it was not bad.... nothing special. But my friend was in the toilet for a bit mid meal... he wasn't sure if it was the food. Hard to explain. The noodles were average. Is it worth the long wait? Yes and No. Depends... if you were super hungry like the 5 girls that were ahead of us in the line up, then I guess not. lol But if you are willing to read more

this place is one of our go to places for amazing authentic korean food! the clam kalguksu was very fresh and had an assortment of seafood, which paired well with the homemade style soup. each piece of gyoza was very big and stuffed with meat and vegetables in there, making it very filling. we love coming to this place when it is cold out, we can't wait to try more items from the menu! read more

I was craving for nangmyeon after watching the Netflix Korean cold noodle rhapsody. It definitely hits the spot. My son ordered the Gyoza Kalguksu and he devoured it. The nangmyeon was very good, the broth refreshing. The servings weren't as big but it was so good. This place is busy, we arrived past 8pm and they close at 9. Many people were still coming in later on. I guess that's a good sign that the food is good read more

Hearty goodness that hits the spot on ANY DAY!! The place is neat clean and refreshing to step into, the service is fast and top notch. The flavour in the soup is SPOT ON!!

I really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere here! read more

I was blown away the first time I ate here. The noodles are so chewy and the broth is so comforting. All the side dishes are delicious (they give free refills by the way), and the kimchi they give you comes in this large bucket and it is delicious! I don't know what their secret is, but it is one of the best kimchis I've ever had! I usually like to get the bossam and noodle combo, and share the bossam with one other person (because I cannot finish both myself). The combo also comes with rice and all the side dishes. I've tried the dumplings because of all the great reviews, and everyone is right- they. are. huge. Like, I can only eat one otherwise I can't eat the rest of my meal. But honestly I probably would not order them again as it is just too filling and I prefer having the noodles. The service is super friendly as well! This is now one of my go-to spots, especially in the colder months! read more

We had a wonderful experience dining on their patio over this weekend! Absolutely amazing service, we were so impressed! Our party of 4 arrived at around 8PM on a Saturday and as expected, their patio full. We were 3rd on the wait list and were seated in about 25 minutes. We could tell that the servers were busy with all their patio and take out orders but they were still so polite and friendly. We all got our own entrees along with the king size gyozas and the medium bossam to share. They also gave us a plate of their ddukbokki on the house as a way of apologizing for the "long wait", but it wasn't even that long!! See? Amazing service. Anyways, it was way too much food for the 4 of us and we ended up taking most of the apps home. I really recommend getting the bossam - the pork meat was so juicy and tender and they steam it on this butane gas stove on low heat to keep it warm. We've actually gotten the bossam as a take out dish before but eating it in person is a different experience, and of course it tasted better. I decided to try something different this time and got the bibim naengmyeon and it was delicious! The spicy paste tied everything together and the broth was full of flavour. Make sure you ask for a pair of scissors to cut the noodles! Highly recommend if you've never tried cold noodles before. We were also very impressed with the precautions they had in place for covid. The tables were spaced out nicely and we watched them sanitize everything before we sat down. Overall, we had a great experience dining on their patio and can't wait to come back! read more

A great place in Markham for an authentic and satisfying fix of Korean food! They have a lot of combos which include a main dish paired with a bunch of side dishes and their signature hand-made soup noodles! We got the beef bulgogi set. The bulgogi was good, and the noodles themselves were really tasty, super springy and chewy. I also loved the in-house kimchi they give you with the food, super large portions and not overly spicy or salty. Would definitely come back here! read more

So glad I came to try this Korean restaurant. They had a very comfy patio set up . It was close to home and the taste is perfect to me. Comfort food that hit the spot. Bone broth wasn't too salty and was just right. Dumplings were huge , I guess that's why they said it was King Sized. The dumpling skin wasn't thick which is what I prefer. Lots of size dishes and came with huge pot of kimchi. Love the bulgogi jungsik also as is not too sweet .. right balance of flavour. I really enjoyed my meal. After you can head to Duo in the same plaza for a latte or dessert. read more

Seems like another restaurant with great food! A note to mention, we went there on a Monday and arrived before 6pm, there are already quite abit of ppl but at least there are tables still available for us. And by around 6:30pm, already packed with line ups... come on less busy time if u want less waiting time as I read other reviews this place can get long line ups and I see why now... We tried the combo (Bulgogi and KalGukSu) and also the jumbo dumplings! The jumbo dumpling, must try in my opinion, u can order half with regular pork and veggie , the other half with kimich. Good options! This jumbo dumplings is such comfort food to me for some reason. Each individual food items and side dishes are just ok but for some reason, when eating all together, goes so well together ... even the tea goes well with the food. Lol! Don't know why, maybe my mood.. lol... the food all came out very fresh and piping hot, so be careful but they are good when it's hot! For sure will visit again... 4.5 stars. read more

Finally got a chance, recently, to give this place a try. There's definitely lots of authentic Korean dishes and they make an amazing seafood pancake. I've tried this dish at so many Korean restaurants and this was by far the best one! We also got the mandu (Korean dumplings) which they are well known for but I still like this dish a bit better at Myeongdong Gyoza Kalguksu restaurant. It might be because the dumplings got cold by the time we brought it home. There's still a lot dishes that I want to try here such as the Bossam Jungsik set meal (steamed pork belly, beef bone soup and side dishes). We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Since visiting the noodle place near Bayview and John Street, this is the only other place I know of that serves the massive king size gyoza! I was excited to try as I love Korean dumplings and a good bowl of noodles in soup. I ordered their kalguksu, the seafood pancake and the gyoza to share. The gyoza does not disappoint! They are massive, the wrapping was thin and it was stuffed to the max! It was extremely delicious and something you must order! There was a staff that was constantly making them in the back and there's constantly people coming in for takeouts and Fantuan delivery staff picking up orders. This was at 11:30am, shortly after they opened! The kalguksu was also amazing! The broth was light and flavourful and the noodles were fresh and chewy. If you're in the Commerce Gate area, you should swing by! My friends and I arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday and we secured a table immediately. Staff were masked and was extremely friendly, they also took our temperatures for covid protocols upon arrival. read more

Wooooow this place! I'm so glad I discovered them here on Yelp. Somehow they came up as one of the top searches when I looked up "Shanghai" when they are actually Korean. Like how Owl of Minerva is kinda known for their pork bone soup, Jin korean is known for their beef bone soup, huge dumplings and Kalgusku/knife cut noodles. This review is for the current covid-19 lockdown so only takeout is available at this time. Our family ordered their king sized dumplings, rice cake and dumpling soup, Bossam & Kalguksu combo (pork belly and knife cut noodles combo), and BiBim Kalguksu (Kalguksu noodle with spicy sauce with a variety of vegetables). Their dumplings are definitely king sized alright. They were super packed with meat and vegetables and the texture and flavour was amazing. they wre 5.99 for 6 large ones for the CNY special. The beef broth was really hearty and like I could drink two bowls of this. The pork belly was amazing too and came with lettuce and sauces to wrap them with. Of course, many side dishes were included and their kimchi tasted great. Not too sour, not too sweet. I appreciated the staff putting the soup separate in containers and also in a tied plastic bag (although super bad for the environment :( ) because it kept the soup piping hot during the 15 minute ride home, wont cause leakage and may (?) decrease the likelihood of things leaking from the styrofoam into the soap. 10% off if paying in cash Overall, I really enjoyed having another Korean restaurant as an option in the GTA. I'm for sure coming back again read more

Food - The food was fresh and pipping hot. Really reminds me of my aunts cooking. Each dish was so satisfying and they really used great fresh ingredients in each dish. The Noodles had a very peppery and umami soup in the noodles were very chewy. The dumpling had great flavorful filling in the skin was very thin. The bosam was part of the dumpling combo it was the perfect portion for two people. Staff - The staff is also very friendly although some of the staff may not be super fluent in English. Feels like a small mom and pop shop. Interior- Clean comfortable and spacious. Definitely would recommend to go with your family or friends for a quick simple meal. Their menu is quite small with very selected items so they specialize in a few specific dishes. read more

Decided to visit this place with a friend after seeing all the good reviews on Yelp and I can definitely say it's worth the hype! We got the bulgogi & kalguksu combo as well as the kimchi king-size dumpling. The bulgogi was very tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The kalguksu was pretty decent, however I did not find it up to par with the bulgogi (take this with a grain of salt; I find that all kalguksu more or less taste the same). The kimchi king-size dumpling was huge! Although I prefer a thicker dough, I still did enjoy them (I found them pretty spicy though). I also tried the bossam which was hands down my favourite dish! I wasn't the biggest fan of bossam until I tried it here, which was (very) surprisingly better than when I had it in Korea. The pork was very soft and absolutely delicious with the sides. The only complaint I had was the portion size, which I found quite small. However, I would most definitely get this again as it was delicious. I believe most dishes come with a good assortment of sides. The sets are also nice if you're looking for a variety of dishes, which is great if you're the type to get sick of eating the same thing bite after bite. Highly recommend! read more

This is the first restaurant popped up when I searched for Korean cold noodles, the best thing to have in a hot weather. This restaurant seems just newly opened. It has an indoor sitting area as well as the outdoor sitting area. I ordered a Bibim Naengmyun Cold Noodles. It came side a side dish of meat, a side dish of turnip slices, a small container of vinegar, a small container of mustard and a pair of scissors. I am speechless after taking the first bite. Other than "Delicious", "Exceptionally good", "Excellent"....I don't know what else to say. I didn't even use the pair of scissors to cut the noodles but kept taking in. I would want to go back to try order items. I hope that there would be more variety of different cold noodles in the future. read more

Their seafood kalguksu is really good and it's not frozen seafood chunks like most other restaurants give you. The broth is tasty but not too salty. Their king sized dumplings are also really good and filling. I would highly recommend those 2 items compared to the other rice dishes which I think are just average. They give you a variety of banchans (side dishes) but in tiny quantities so I wish they would be more generous on those. read more

Newly opened Korean restaurant that's known for its delicious and comforting noodle soup and gyoza/ king dumplings. The ambiance is spacious, clean and their service is friendly. Our table of three decided to try a few of their dishes, their popular KalGukSu (homemade noodles with veggies and pork bone soup), gyoza (king dumplings) and Rice cake soup. All dishes were a hit and their prices and portions were more than enough! Great we'll definitely be back to try the rest of their dishes. Glad we came here! read more

This is it! A convenient spot for hearty Korean noodles and more. I've been here a couple times (once on patio, twice for takeout) and have been impressed by both the food and the takeout measures. In person, I've had the meat kalguksu and the side order of gyozas. Six humongous dumplings that are filled to the brim. The pork slices were nice as well but highlights were mainly the noodles and soup. You can definitely taste the beef bone flavour, with a nice balanced thickness for the noodles. They also give you a jar of kimchi and other small sides. My group was checked on often and made for a nice patio experience. Takeout wise, similar things to note - takeout portions are definitely good. In fact with the bowl that they use with the noodles, I usually have one soup portion left over (among 2 orders) to use in future! The seafood pancake was thick and neatly sliced. Prices are reasonable and I've had timely service each time. Good stuff! read more

This is my second time visiting and while the food was good, I'm unimpressed. A little disappointed too, to be honest. 2 reasons. First time visiting, it was raining outside and the table we were sat at had some leaking on the roof. Things leak, it happens to the best of buildings. The leaking spattered into our food but the staff didn't offer to replace it, and that's leaning towards poor customer service. Didn't push the matter though, since they were on last call and I didn't want to hold them from closing. Second time visiting this place was for takeout. Brought the dumplings home to see a dead bug. It's not a gigantic bug and it's not alive, BUT it's still pretty gross to find the corpse inside the box. If you're still interested, the soups are good - light flavour, good change of pace from other heavily flavoured restaurants. Dumplings were fairly big and filling, priced lower than the usual places I visit. My experiences were tainted by bad luck so it's probably not representative of what you'd experience here, but my review reflects what happened to my visits. read more

Found this place through yelp as I was in the area and wanted noodle soups. Upon entering the restaurant, it was a small space with about 10-15 tables. There was a whiteboard which we had to write down our names and party size. We expected to wait for a table as we did go on a Sunday afternoon. They had different combo sets that come with rice and/or noodles, along with side dishes. We both ordered a combo set and dumplings on the side. The noodles were very good as it is chewy and on the thicker side. The soup pairs well with the noodles. Everything tasted fresh and it was priced less than other places ! read more

Really good. Got takeout from them about a month ago as I was craving that good kalguksu. Ordered via UberEats as they had a pickup promo code going. Seamless pickup and good COVID measures with hand sanitizer at the front and all employees wearing masks. Ordered the gyoza kalguksu, and was pleasantly surprised. Excellent packaging, kept the soup nice and warm without leaking. Portions were still huge considering it was takeout. Dumplings - massive and delicious filling. Noodles and soup, full of flavor and great texture. Their kimchi is pretty solid too. Food-wise probably on par with MyeongdongGyoza Kalguksu which I consider to be the best all around for kalguksu. Always loved kalguksu and am always looking for new places to satisfy my cravings! Will be a frequent here as it is really close to home! :) read more

This restaurant has now been open for two weeks. I wish I had known earlier so I could've taken pictures of the menu in secret! Ha! They have a special right now that the kalguksu AKA homemade noodles in a beef broth soup are 6$ instead of usual 7.99$. I like how they told us about the special in the beginning and it wasn't a secret, and that they said their specialty was the big king dumplings. I had the rice cake soup for 10.99 and it was good broth flavour with tons of egg and rice cake! They had jalepenos and kimchi on the side, I found the jalapeños had a nice kick to the soup without changing the entire flavour like kimchi does. Usually I know this style of restaurant to have the young kimchi instead of the older kimchi but it didn't actually taste young. We had ordered at maybe 845pm, and then we were still waiting for our dumplings to arrive. They came to check our table but they said the dumplings were still being made. A few minutes later I see all the staff eat their dinner and low and behold they were eating king dumplings. Were those supposed to be our dumplings? Did they forget about their order when they went on break??? Not cool... We had eventually finished our soups and then they finally noticed we never received our dumplings at like 930pm.. they felt bad and gave us free pop as an apology but I still felt like it didn't meet the disappointment of watching the staff eat the exact dish you were supposed to get.. LOL! The dumplings were very crunchy with veggies and meat with a very thin wrapper, so very good. Overall they had great customer service before they forgot about our dumplings so I feel like I could give them another chance. I just hope this was an isolated error!! read more

There was a lot of hype around this place for these Korean noodles. Overall I felt the noodles were good and the broth was very tasty and simple (in a good way). It also helps when you combine it with her kimchi and pickled radish which was the really winner. They gave alot of noodles with the soups and a little bit of meat - which I think is standard with Korean meals. We also ordered the kimchi dumpling which were delicious. Overall, give this place a try. It gets super busy so come early or off peak times. read more

What a treat, to have a local Korean noodle shop offer savoury comfort food. Jin Korean Noodles offers Korean hand-pulled noodles, also known as Kalguksu, with a variety of proteins of your choice. I've always grown up to be a big seafood lover, so naturally, I got the Clam Kalguksu. Whenever I get noodle dishes, regardless of cuisine, I always first take a sip of the broth - a rich, umami flavour is usually a good indication of the food quality. And of course, the broth from the Clam Kalguksu was absolutely divine. I was able to taste the sweetness of the clams in the soup without an undesirable MSG flavour, and was genuinely surprised at the sheer amount of clams hidden inside! I've had many seafood-iterations of noodles, but never expected to find clam after clam after clam in my noodle soup. The Clam Kalguksu also came with a shrimp and mussel, neither of which were rubbery. At $13.99, this is definitely value. The noodles themselves were perfectly cooked, neither over nor undercooked, maintaining a firmness and chewy bite despite being submerged in the broth. My friend ordered the Rice Cake Dumpling Soup, which came with 3 king-sized dumplings. I never would've thought that dumplings would be filling, but these enormous ones definitely took some time to eat. The meat-to-wrap ratio was spot on, offering a generous portion of meat without straying away from being called a dumpling. However, I felt as if the meat inside was drier than expected - perhaps a little bit overcooked, but nevertheless, a scrumptious and filling treat! My favourite of the night was the kimchi. Our entrees were accompanied by a large container full of perfectly balanced kimchi - not too spicy, not too salty, and not too sour from the fermentation. We were given a generous portion of kimchi, but were able to finish the entire pot. Truthfully, I would come to Jin Korean Noodles for the kimchi itself, but thankfully the entrees are equally as good! Delicious food at an affordable and reasonable price, I'm looking forward to adding this restaurant to my list of regular restaurants to visit. read more

So impressed with this place! We ordered the King size dumplings, kalguksu, and meat kalguksu. The dumplings were huge - I liked that they were not too salty, though I can see how some may say it's bland. The broth of the meat kalguksu had a very clean taste and the broth of the regular kalguksu had a slightly spicy flavour. The noodles were soft and chewy. The side of kimchi was also very tasty and plentiful! Service was fast and the servers were friendly and checked on us a couple of times. Overall, loved my experience and would definitely come back to try their other menu items! read more

A relatively new spot, Jin Korean Noodles is a Korean restaurant located near Highway 7 and Leslie. Although they focus mainly on noodle dishes, they also serve hot pot and "king size" dumplings as well. The meat kalguksu came with a few slices of pork and the beef bone soup was simple but satisfying. The dumplings were great, each order came with 6 huge pieces. The environment was nice and bright, they do have a heated patio section.

I love this place! I came for a table of 2 at 7pm on a Saturday night and it took about 20 minutes to get seated. The restaurant is clean and bright with many 2 to 4 people sized tables. I got the kalguksu combos with bulgogi and bossam jungsik. The food came quickly and hot. The side dishes are all fabulously made. The kimchi had the perfect balance between sour, salt and fermented taste. They actually sell it to go for $7.99. They serve a whole jar which we almost devour it all. The broth of the kalguksu was so comforting like a warm hug. The broth is beef based with a kick of black pepper. The bossam jungsik was really good. The pork was savory and tender. The portions were generous and left me really full. Will be back for more! read more
