When I started coming here a couple years ago the pork bone soup was $6 and super cheap. Now, it's…read more$9 which is still a decent price, but the taste of it is so good it keeps me coming back,especially after trying the same dish in other Korean restaurants. Tbh, a lot of the stir fry type dishes have very small portions. I've tried a bunch of them (my favourite being stir fried squid and bulgogi/beef) and while they aren't priced highly (maybe $2 - $3 cheaper than sit down restaurants w/ servers) but the portion sizes are tiny. They always give you very little meat with too much rice and the dish ends up being expensive for what you actually get. My advice is don't cheap out and just go to a normal restaurant and order the dish, you'll get more value for your money there. The pork bone soup is honestly addictive though. Good portion size; enough meat and enough soup. Really rich and sweet soup, which is just what I need in the winter to heal my bitter soul. Meat is fall off the bone tender and super flavourful. When I come I see most people eating either pork bone soup or bibimbap. I've tried enough Korean restaurants to know that the kimchi is fantastic here. Hands down the best I've had to date. It's weird that some dishes don't get kimchi though (I think it was the seafood soup or jajangmyun). And they don't allow refills or sell their kimchi. But, it's consistent every single time and both the cabbage and cucumber kimchi are knock your socks off type good. I always look forward to coming here and having my pork bone soup. It's consistent every time and the kimchi is too. I'm definitely a regular here by now so I'll be coming back soon, especially since it'll probably start snowing soon.

This couple has been feeding me for 30+ yrs starting from my university days. Nostalgia is real whenever I speak with the aging owner while waiting for my food and I am honestly so surprised that he still recognizes me after all these years. I love their spicy bbq (beef, chicken and pork) with pork being my favourite. I am always amazed at how skilfully they can prepare such quality Korean food from a tiny food court kitchen. The meat is so well seasoned in a balanced marinade (not too sweet just the way I love it) and comes in huge portions alongside 2 perfect scoops of rice. Accompanying banchans always knock it out of the park and I love that they still go out of their way to prepare the pan-braised tofu dish. I will continue to eat here until I can't anymore, as there is no other eatery like Yummy B-B-Q in Toronto. Not even close.

It's hard to find this deal nowadays. Their gamjatang portions were quite generous - three pieces of pork bone, but no potatoes. It was okay for us because they served it with rice and some complimentary kimchi and it was quite filling. I ordered the seafood soup. I loved their soup as it was so flavorful. They also served a fish. Surprisingly, there weren't many bones. Additionally, we got the grilled mackerel, which we both loved. It only cost $5. The grilling and seasoning were perfect, and it paired well with the sour sauce.

I went with the bulgogi bibimbap. I like that it came with purple rice. The ingredients were well seasoned, and I ended up with the perfect crispy rice at the end! Two of my friends ordered the veggie bowls and the server took extra care to ask if they were vegetarian as the side sauce also came in a veggie option. When the banchan came to the table they also pointed out which items weren't vegetarian. I think a lot of times this ends up being assumed, so this was a nice touch, not at all expected but definitely welcomed. Overall vibe of the place was casual, great for family dining and return visits. I'll be sure to come back again whenever I'm in the area!

This Koreatown fixture trades in the classics of the Korean table: a well stocked banchan spread, comforting soups, and a seafood pancake that regulars swear by. Each dish arrived competently prepared, yet none reached the height that the online chatter had promised. Service moved at an even, unhurried pace, attentive without being showy, though the room fills quickly and a short wait is not uncommon on busier evenings. The booths and tables offer a comfortable, low key setting suited to a casual gathering rather than a special occasion. What Damda delivers, ultimately, is reliability rather than revelation: a solid, unpretentious rendition of Korean comfort food that will satisfy an appetite without lingering long in the memory. Worth a visit for the classics, but temper the expectations set by its online reputation, and you will likely leave content, if not enraptured.

We also ordered their Dubu Kimchi which is Tofu Kimchi. You cannot go wrong with the Owl of Minerva Gamjatang. It's the best version found in any Korean restaurants in the GTA. The meat is so tender that it falls off the bones and the broth is to die for. Yukgaejang is a hearty and spicy beef soup that consists of shredded beef, scallions, gosari, bean sprouts and mushrooms. We also ordered the Tofu Kimchi with their aged Kimchi. It's a great dish too. This franchise has been around but it's still worth a visit. They do take out and dine-in. Recommended!

There are several mispelled words and other issues with spacing and formatting printed in the menu which for me personally gives off a bad initial impression and lowers the overall vibe of the dining establishment. The food and service does make up for it a little bit. Our waitress was quick to offer house tea early on after we have arrived. The complimentary kimchi and onion for each diner was also always welcome. As an appetizer, I enjoyed our order of small Boneless Fried Chicken flavored with Cheese *Sprinkle. (The other available flavors include Sweet & Sour, Soy Garlic, Honey, Spicy, Spicy *Honey) There were enough pieces of the chicken for sharing between our group of 5 people. Something else I appreciated was the authentic feel of the rice being served in a hot stone pot inside the wooden crates. My main order was menu item #1 Combination Soon Tofu (Beef, Shrimp, Mussel) + Hot Stone Pot Rice. I find the order OK to good. There was too much going on in the soup to find any unifying or distinctive taste. If I have to order again, I would choose a different soup dish sticking to 1 main topping instead of 3. Another main dish I have gotten to sample was menu item #12 Pork Bone Soup. I wouldn't rank it among the best Korean Pork Bone Soups (Gamjatang) I have tried. The meat could have used more time cooking as it was not as tender as I normally expect for this dish. Lastly, I find the overall theming of the place lacking. Considering the restaurant's name, I expected them to specialize with tofu dishes or at least to have a signature menu item having tofu as the main ingredient. The tofu I did have included in my dish was nothing special.
