This food here is simply fantastic. First off the banchan (side dishes) are amazing, probably the best I've had anywhere and their kimchi is the star! I order the Gamjatang almost everytime I'm here and it never disappoints. The pork is fall off the bone and the soup is rich, hearty and full of flavor. They mix purple rice into their steamed rice which is a nice touch. I've also had Bibimbap here once and it was very good. While I haven't ordered it, the ssam (lettuce wraps) seem to be very popular and look very good. Will definitely need to try this some day. The only reason I don't give this place 5 stars is b/c of the decor and service. The decor could use some refreshing as it feels a bit aged. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but every time I've been here there is only one person doing cash and waiting all tables. So expect service to be a bit slow and it's common to see uncleared tables Regardless, I will keep coming back... read more

Came here on a friend's recommendation and now I understand why the reviews are so good. It is probably one of the better Korean restaurants that I have tried! It seems like all the best food joints are in the hood. Located in the Scarborough-Wexford area in a random plaza beside a Korean grocery store and of course under the Kim's Convenience billboard sign, this is a small restaurant with about 10-15 small tables. The first time we tried to come here there was a lineup and this time it was the same but throughout the night. We knew that this place must be good if people don't mind waiting minimum 15-20 mins. So after we sat down we also waited another 30 mins for our food but it was super busy and clearly the 3 servers wasn't enough to handle the volume of customers. It's okay though it was well worth the wait because the servers apologized for the wait and were even friendly. We decided to order the lettuce wrap combo with two meats and the pork bone soup that everyone was was raving about in the reviews. And ...wow must I say that despite the level of spiciness of the soup, it was delicious. The portion was massive, they definitely didn't cheap out on the meat and not to mention so much flavour and literally fell off the bone as you were eating it. The wrap combo we got to choose two meats: chicken teriyaki and bulgogi...both came on a sizzling plate bursting with so much flavour as you eat it wrapped up with lettuce and sauce. The combo also came 2 bowls of purple authentic Korean rice and tofu soup. The entire combo was only $30 enough to feed two people. And last but not least the appetizers were so good!!! There was a variety with kimchi, rice cakes, sweetened potato, bean sprouts, and eggplant! You can ask for unlimited appetizers if you'd like. If you are looking for a place to satisfy your pork bone soup craving, come here, you won't be disappointed. This restaurant doesn't take reservations so try to come before or after dinner hours or just wait in line. I assure that the wait isn't that long. :) read more

My friend brought me here last night with much excitement and now I know why. This Korean restaurant is very authentic with incredibly delicious food and a very warm staff. The place was busy all throughout the night with customers constantly flowing which means that the food is fresh. Their portions were also very generous and were nicely presented as I'm sure you can tell by the pictures. Bul-go-gi - Sometimes when I look at bul-go-gi, it looks as though it won't have much flavor because of the colouring. Theirs however, was bursting with flavor. It was served on a hot iron dish that was literally steaming. The portion was also large enough to serve 2 people or 1 very hungry individual. The meal was served with many assorted cold side dishes such as eggplant (5/5), kimchi (I'm not a big fan so I'll skip the rating to be fair), japchae (5/5) and so on. The dish also came with rice which was absolutely delicious. 5/5 Pork Bone Soup - Perfect for a rainy night like last night. The very tender meat fell off the bone and the broth was also very flavorful. I would definitely go back, just for this dish. 5/5. Squid and Pork Wrap - Their vegetable wrap was nicely presented. It also came with rice, which you can add to your wrap, but being the Filipino that I am, I just kept eating the rice with whatever protein there was on the table. The dish also came with Ssam sauce which complimented the meats very nicely. And of course, both the squid and pork were incredibly delicious and flavorful. I did wish that the ratio between the 2 would be more equal. And whatever sauce they cooked it with, was on point! Made you want to just drench your rice or dip your lettuce wrap in it. 5/5. If you're looking for an authentic Korean restaurant and want to avoid Korean BBQ restaurants, I highly highly recommend this gem in Scarborough. read more

Boy were we disappointed. We ate here yesterday night for dinner. It was quite busy, and we took that as a good sign. We had high hopes for this place based on the Yelp reviews. I really don't understand how highly rated this place is. Parking, location, setting (3/5): The neighborhood is catered to cheap eats. Walking in the entrance way of the restaurant, it's covered in cheap cardboard. There's also a sign posted informing customers not to park in the nearby Indian grocer. It's a small little joint with tables tightly packed in together. It's quite casual based on the lack of decor. The ambiance is similar to Pho Metro nearby, except the tables are so close to each other that you'll hear every bit of conversation of your nearby neighbours. Seeing that we live in Scarborough, we're familiar with it. Small parking lot in small plaza in the Warden and Lawrence neighborhood. I can appreciate the free parking. Extra point for convenience since we live in Scarborough. We don't really go downtown on weeknights. Another thing: The pictures posted in the photos on Google make it look much more upscale than it is. The place looks nothing like that. It looks and feels like a "cheap eat" place. Fabric is not wrapped on the chairs as it is in the pictures. They're the standard cheap, scratched-up chairs you see at any cheap Korean restaurant. They must have rented/borrowed the nicer chairs and nicer place settings for the photos. Service (1.5/5): How could I speak to it when there it didn't quite exist? None of the two servers were rude, but they were rather inattentive. To place our order, we tried to wave a server down three times before they took our order. We ordered tea, asked for refills twice and stopped asking for it since the two servers stopped responding. They did give us a larger jug of water, but it was rather troublesome to wave the servers down repeatedly to refill the water jug/tea pot. The Steamed Pork and Kimchi we ordered was very spicy, and so you can see, we needed to have our water refilled. We turned off the burner by accident, and one of the servers stared at us. She did eventually come over to turn the burner back on. No one came to check on us during our dinner. Admittedly it was quite busy when we first came in at ~730PM. However, the crowd had died down when our food started to arrive. We ran out of napkins and had to get up to retrieve our own napkins. Food (2/5): We ordered the Bulgogi in the Hot Pot, Beef and Leek Soup, and Steamed Pork and Kimchi. Both the Bulgogi and Soup each came with purple rice. Side Dishes Banchan: Standard fare. We received eggplant, potatoes, kimchi, sprouts, green beans, glass noodles, and some other dish that I can't remember. Sadly, one of the better parts of our meal. We didn't finish them. Beef and Leek Soup ($14.99): The soup was alright; not bad. It had beef, Chinese leeks, onions, and sprouts. Wish I could comment more on it. It wasn't very memorable and we didn't finish it. Bulgogi in the Hot Pot ($14.99): We both love bulgogi and glass noodles and it's such a popular dish at any Korean joint. Both the beef and the noodles were noticeably overcooked, but very tasty. Beef was nice and soft with a flavourful kick. Noodles were sticky from the sauce and being overcooked, but delicious. We finished all of it. Steamed Pork and Kimchi ($39.99): Don't order this. This was really, really, really terrible. Laughably so. Awful. It had kimchi, tofu, and steamed pork. The kimchi was a giant uncut block of cabbage. That's fine. What's not fine is the sauce in the stew. I would not consider us noobs to spicy foods and we generally love spicy food (we like food in general). The sauce was so spicy that it was inedible. The cabbage was very soggy and must have been sitting the stew's sauce for some time because it tasted like it completely absorbed the sauce. The tofu was the egg tofu you buy in Asian grocers. It was just thrown in the hot pot and did not have a chance to absorb the sauce (which was probably a good thing). We both love that stuff but for ~$40, we expected more. Now to the highlight of the dish, the steamed pork. The pork was okay in itself; nothing special. The sauce, as mentioned repeatedly, a nightmare. We barely touched this dish. We took the pork and tofu home in a container because we hate waste. Yet I'm sitting here wondering if any of us will touch it. Bill (1/5): We paid $90 in total for two people. Rather high considering the dining experience we received. The bill itself with taxes was $79.07. ($14.99 + $14.99 + $39.99 + $9.10 HST) At the time, I tipped ~10% ($9.03). Reflecting on it now, I feel I shouldn't have done so at all. Overall (1.8/5): The place is priced for a sit-down setting but the food, setting and service do not match. We will not be returning. The highest marks were for parking and it's convenience. There's better food at the Galleria. Go there, go anywhere! read more

I REALLY like this place because their food is actually amazing and they don't cheap out on side dishes BUT be prepared to wait. Wait for someone to clean your table so you can sit (because they're pretty busy), wait for someone to bring you water/tea and menus, wait for someone to take your order, wait for your side dishes, wait for your food and finally wait for your bill (walk up to the counter to speed this up). Your 1 hour lunch/dinner just turned into a 1.5 - 2 hours meal. BUT I am completely okay with waiting because I really like their food and staff. It's a family run restaurant so they do take a bit (as in a long time) longer than other restaurants. Overall, yes I will come back when I have time ;) read more

Ahh I'm so happy my friend introduced me to this place! I've been looking for comfort Korean food at affordable prices other than the usual mainstream spots which aren't even that great. It's a cozy and small restaurant which is perfect for what they serve - super clean as well. My girlfriends and I went on a Friday night to find that it was pretty packed! Luckily we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the tuna kimchi stew, kimchi fried rice and the bulgogi with rice! Everything tasted great, including the side dishes (bomb side dishes are key to a great Korean restaurant!!!) However, it would've been a lot better if the kimchi fried rice wasn't so oily - there was oil collecting at the bottom of my bowl. NOW TO SPILL SOME TEA. Unfortunately the only thing that made me dock one star was with how slow the service was. It was understandable that it was a busy night, however - we would ask for a pitcher of water and the servers would never bring it for us, rather we had to repeatedly ask them for some water. Also, when we asked for some refills on the side dishes, the servers gave us a very rude look or ignore us when trying to call them. I'll be giving this place a second chance just because the food was so good. Hopefully the next time around the servers won't be so ignorant as they were during my first visit. read more

Hands down, one of the best Korean restaurants in town. This place is authentic, the food is delicious, the menu has lots of options and the price is fair. I'll certainly be coming back with my family. read more

We had the combo A veggie wraps with grilled pork and bulgogi. It came with 7 side dishes, bean paste soup and 2 bowls of rice for $27.99. Food: 3.5/5 I liked the veggie wraps since they give you many different types of veggies. You can make a wrap with the meat, side dishes and rice. I personally like the grilled pork with lettuce wrap. The side dishes were okay, kimchi was good but others were average. Bean paste soup tasted weird and sour, didn't seem too fresh. Overall it was good but not very memorable. Although it was a lot of food in the table, you get hungry quickly since it's mostly vegetables. Service: 1.5/5 Don't expect much from the service, you gotta wave them down for everything and they don't bother to ask you about the food. read more

SUMMARY: One of the notably great things about this place is that each meal comes with at least 6 in-house made side dishes! This place is really out of the way for me but if I crave for pork bone soup that much, I definitely will think about having it at Makkal Chon because it was that good! The restaurant itself is small and pretty run down, so don't expect much. But I'm there for the food and the food definitely made me happy! MY MEAL: Dish: Spicy Pork Bone Soup Review: Best thing in the world to fill me up and keep me warm! It wasn't all that spicy and for everyone that knows me, I can't handle that much spice to begin with but I still always try and for pork bone soup I would in a heartbeat! Always so messy to eat but always so goood!! My friend showed me this place and it's so great because it always comes with at least 6 house-made side dishes! read more

Makkal Chon is one of my top restaurants in Toronto. Service isn't always great, but honestly, I don't really care. Every single dish I've had has impressed me so much. They are made with so much love and care and their ingredients are fresh and delicious. Would recommend it for any Korean fans. A LOT more authentic than 99% of other places I've been. read more

Food is nice but very poor service. One woman band (cashier, server, cleaner) alone is not enough for customers coming in.

A really nice little Korean spot that seems to be a local gem in Scarborough. A couple of friends and I ordered quite a few dishes to really see what was good on the menu, so let me briefly break it down. 1) Appetizers (These come for everyone before your main order, also can order more too) - The apps were so damn good! - 7 different samples of food: Green veggies (forgot what these are called, - see pic), bean sprouts, kimchi cabbage, sweet potato (BEST one), Eggplant, noodles, and green beans which were delicious. - 5/5 for the appetizers no doubt!! 2) Beef Short Ribs - 5/5...heaven in your mouth! - Can't say much more but how delicious the beef ribs were. These are a MUST order if you come here. They were tender and had so much flavour. Yes, we ordered them twice! 3) Seafood Spicy Soft Tofu w/ Beef - 3/5 - I'm not a big fan of tofu and stews in general but we still gave this dish a try. - You can have it either with pork or beef - It's one of those stews that you have to pour over your rice to really enjoy it, by itself not so much. 4) BBQ Eel Over Rice - 3.5/5 - First time trying eel and it was just okay in my opinion. Eel doesn't have too much of a fishy taste thankfully but I think that's probably because of the bbq flavour with it. - Main issue is the ratio of eel to rice. There was way more rice than how much eel given. Granted seafood is expensive but then I think that dish needs to be changed someway. Maybe less rice? Lower the price a bit? A bit more eel? All possibilities. 5) Dol-Sot Bi-Bim- Bab -- 4/5 - This was a hot bowl of assorted vegetables, an egg and beef over rice. It comes to you the way it looks in the pic, and then you mix everything together and add some hot sauce if you like some heat to it! - Definitely would recommend ordering this. It was a light but really good dish that complemented the other dishes. During our stay here, there was a lineup out the door the entire time. The positive reviews are rightfully justified because I enjoyed almost everything that I had and would surely come back very soon! read more

Makkal Chon - Spicy Bul-Go-Gi with Veggies on Rice & Chicken Cutlet on Rice - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place was highly recommended by a friend so we decided to try it while we were in Scarborough. As usual with my first time visit to any Korean restaurant, I ordered the pork bone soup. My husband ordered the spicy pork and squid vegetable wrap. The pork bone soup tasted different, not the usual pork and spice flavour - hub said it had a strong tofu taste. Strange, but not distasteful. The vegetable wrap was a thumbs up and would definitely order it again. Side dishes were plentiful and the variety was different from the standard bean sprouts and kimchi. The eggplant and spicy peppers were our favorite! Staff was pleasant and polite. We would certainly come here again but only if we are in the area. read more

Defiantly my go to place to take my girlfriend, friends and family out for a nice dinner. This place is small and hard to see when you are driving in the area. But the food here is amazing! Hands down the best Korean food I've had. Im a pretty picky eater when it comes to foods and I really like eating the same thing a little more than I like trying new things on the menu. So I always go for the chicken cutlet. Not only is the chicken cooked to perfection, the rice is outstanding in my opinion. My girlfriend on the other hand gets either the pork bone soup which is a must try, or the veggie wrap combo that can come with either 1 or 2 choices of meets. Now I've witnessed her eating the food and her expression says it all. Defiantly a place to go and check out! read more

Great authentic Korean food. Never disappoints. A little expensive, like most legit Korean restaurants.

Very authentic Korean. Got the bean soup and soft tofu soup. Tasty and not overly spiced.

Simple menu. Quality food. Good service. No hype. No frills. Just down-to-earth goodness.

This place is medicore at best. I understand that side dishes are important to some people, but they aren't to me. Although they have good side dishes, their main dishes was medicore. The service is slow and spotty. Try avoiding coming here during weekend lunch hours as the wait is long! read more

Makkal Chon - For all you side dish people - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It's only ok. This is the only Korean place I have gone to in Canada, and I am comparing it to Korean food in New York and Boston. I'm my experience, there is a typical taste for bulgogi and the spicy sauce, which was not present in this place. The staff is very distracted and the girl is always on her phone. We were waving like crazy people for 10 minutes to get her attention! read more

This is so far the best Korean place I've been too, there is a wait for the food during the busy hours but thats only because the place is quite small so it didn't bother me that much, there was a wide variety of side dishes we had 6 where most places I have gone to usually give me about 4. The purple rice is also a good change from the usual white I always get and it tastes so good paired with the dishes you receive. Workers are nice and service was good, would definitely come here again for my Korean food cravings read more

Makkal Chon - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Will update when i get home. But for now, the sides are amazing, service is great, but unfortunately lots of traffic xD edit: Alright, home is where I am. This place is somewhat hard to find if we lived in an age where there isn't GPS. But this place lived up to its reviews and I think this is one of the best Korean restaurants in the area for the masses. If you plan on coming here with anything larger than a group of 2 for a weekend meal at a prime time, seriously consider making a reservation. The 2 times I tried to come here, it was full and we had to go elsewhere as we had to wait for an hour for just a table for 4. However, if you have some time to spare and you are hungry, it's definitely worth the wait. The inside of the restaurant is sort of small as it can't host too many people. At most it was about ~50 ish. So, it gets filled up fairly quickly. It's a typical korean restaurant and their prices are on par, or slightly higher (a few bucks more) than the ones in markham, but the quality of their dishes are better and the quantity is slightly more. It's also worth mentioning that their side dishes are miles better. The sides that they included were: honeyed potatoes, eggplant (apparently, they reached a deity-level), kimchi, glass noodles (jap chae), spicy rice cakes (!!), seaweed, and some mashed potato thing. Price: 5/5 (A few bucks more, but the sides more than made up for the difference in price) Service: 4/5 (Great service and the waitresses on the floor knew what they were doing, but the waittt to sit was quite a bit) Food: 5/5 Price Point: 5/5 read more

Pros: 1) Amazing food. Got the Combo A - 2 meats w/ lettuce wraps ($29.99). Chose the grilled pork and bugolgi. 2) Purple rice. 3) Made resos (apparently you weren't able to before). Waiter was super nice. 4) Great/unique apps i.e. eggplant, rice cakes, etc. Cons: 1) The lettuce wraps were difficult to eat imo. Maybe I'm just a noob, but it was difficult to keep the meat and sauce in the lettuce wrap, thus it was a bit messy. read more

Visited Sat Sept 16 for dinner. Be prepared for a long wait, there is no hostess to keep track of how many people are waiting in line. People end up waiting in the tiny entrance to the restaurant. Pros Really good side dishes as mentioned in many reviews. Amazing pork bone soup it's a pretty big portion, and we ended up taking most of it home. Chicken cutlet was crispy and tasty. Cons Wish they had more photos on the menu so we can see what the food will look like. Be prepared for a 20-40 min wait! Damage - $28 includes tax, before tip. read more

One of our favourite Korean restaurants. I always get the pork bone soup and it's consistently good.

The best Korean restaurant I've tried. Ample portion sizes, great taste, and a variety of side dishes all at an affordable price. We've been going to Makkol Chon whenever we are in Scarborough. If you come on the weekends, expect a line - a slow moving one. The restaurant serves each table in a first-come-first-serve basis (meaning a table must get all their food before they start serving the next table), and it can take some time between arriving and when food actually arrives on the table. But be patient, friends, as the great things come to those who wait Our favourite dish to get and a must-try item would be their lettuce wraps. It comes with your choice of meat, soybean soup and a hefty basket of different lettuces and herbs. For meats, we usually get pork belly and bulgogi, but if you would like some heat the spicy pork is also very good. I love the fact that you can conjure so many different wrap combinations with this one dish - be creative and add some rice, other dishes and even some side dishes into your wrap! Tie it together with a spoonful of soup and you're solid. I also recommend the kimchi fried rice and pork bone soup, both classics that would not go wrong. read more

Great food but not great service . The 3 dishes we ordered came promptly but the server didn't say a word to us . Just placed the food down . Stone faced . Hard to get his attention to refill our tea as well . It was 8pm on a Saturday and their were only a few table of diners beside ourselves . Will probably be back for the food but it would be nice to be greeted with at least a smile or a hello . read more

My go to Korean food in Scarborough. Heck probably one of the best you'll ever have in Toronto. Not once have I gone for dinner and made it through dinner without a queue forming but don't be discouraged, the wait is typically not long. The notable dish has got to be the pork bone soup is probably top 3 I've ever had in the world and I've had pork bone soup in Seoul. They pile up sooo many bones with the soup (3-4 huge pieces) and everything in the soup is so flavourful. From the veggies to the potatoes to the pork and the broth. The lettuce wraps and bulgolgi are also very good. The portions for everything is huge so prepare to fill your belly with yummy goodness I've even forgotten my watch here and the owners were nice enough to keep it for me. I've noticed that they attract a lot of Korean customers young and old which makes me think that this place has to be authentic. As for the service, it has improved dramatically in the last year in a bit. They've hired more and better English servers. It's a lot faster than it used to be. I have cravings for this place every time I'm in Scarborough. read more

Delicious korean food in a nondescript plaza. I ordered the pork bone soup and it was really good. I only wish that the soup was hotter. It came with purple rice and a nice assortment of side dishes. Service was friendly and we got our food after 15 minutes of ordering. There is a lettuce wrap combo for two that I definitely want to try the next time I come back. read more

It's a small restaurant, but it's worth the trip. I've ate at this restaurant numerous times and the side dishes have varied which is a good thing, as 50% of the time I get the Pork Bone soup, it's delicious. Found myself getting creative one time and adding the soup and some sides to the purple rice. Tasted great, and an example of how to play with food!! You're there for the food, not the ambiance, but, it's family run and it has the mom & pop restaurant charm. Guarantee you leave satisfied and full, then turning around to look at the restaurant and surroundings taking a mental note for when you plan your next visit. read more

Came here on a Friday for dinner and it was super packed. The place is really small to begin with so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes to get seated. I really love korean food but as a pescatarian, I found that there weren't many options compared to other korean places I've been to. I ended up ordering a spicy seafood/tofu stew in hotpot and mushrooms on rice. I really liked the stew and you can adjust how spicy you want it which is nice. That being said, as I kept eating it I noticed there was beef in it as well. I didn't feel like asking for another one since it would have taken a while and I managed to get most of the big chunks out anyway. Also, the stew came with rice on the side which I didn't realize. The mushroom on rice was nothing special, literally just a stir fry of mushrooms/veggies. Probably wouldn't come back here as there weren't many options for me, but my dad ordered a pork dish with rice and he said he liked it (plus the serving size was huge). Even the people waiting behind us in the line said the food is amazing, so if you're not a veg/pesc you'll probably enjoy this place! read more

Warden & Lawrence... Who would've known that Warden & Lawrence would be home to the best Korean restaurant I've been to in quite some time? Dining in on a Sunday afternoon, I was quick to notice the simple but well-executed wooden interior. The restaurant was totally full - always a good sign. We were quickly seated and given a serving of hot tea as we decided on what to order. Like other Korean restaurants, you're given a set of banchan (side dishes) to eat as you wait. My favourites were the potato and the eggplant, but I assure you, there will be something for everyone. Note that you CAN ask for extra banchan (enjoy!). Our table had pretty much all the staples covered - pork bone soup, chicken cutlet, and spicy pork on rice. The pork bone soup was very flavourful and a little bit on the spicier side. Definitely not watered down. The meat was soft and tender. According to my friend, it pretty much fell off the bone, which is awesome for a dish as bone-heavy as pork bone soup is. The spicy pork was simply a well done iteration of the traditional Korean saucy and spicy rice dishes - just solid. Lastly, my dish - the chicken cutlet. The cutlet itself was quite large, and fried golden brown with blackened edges that provided the perfect amount of crispness. Accompanying the cutlet was the traditional Korean purple rice (yum), and a small salad (meh). While the salad was just passable, the cutlet and rice combo was just delicious. Regarding service, I have to give them a high rating because they were quite quick on all our requests, even though the restaurant was quite busy. They also didn't mind us sitting for nearly 2 hours after we had finished our meal, just to have a conversation. Overall, Makkal Chon is as solid as it gets when it comes to Korean food. Definitely worth a visit. One thing I wanted to try but didn't get a chance to was their vegetable wraps! Check out the numerous pictures on this page, they look great. #ReviewNumber100! read more

It's interesting to see a Korean restaurant in this area, because there aren't many around here. That's smart, because of less competition, as they seem to always have lineups during lunch and dinner hours. I always get their pork bone soup or pork cutlet on rice. I think they use A1 sauce on their cutlet. Just a heads up, because people either love or hate A1 sauce. They give you a wide selection of side dishes, which are discernibly higher in quality than that of other Korean restaurants. These are included with your meal. Come with at least one person to dine with, and you get significantly more side dishes! Come here if you aren't in a hurry to get somewhere after because, again, there may be lineups... and their services is slower than average. It pains me to say that, because I love this restaurant and their friendly staff. They need to consider adding one extra wait staff to their service. Pretty good number of free parking spaces in the plaza. They are next to a P.A.T. Korean supermarket, so drop by there after to get some Korean snacks and ramen. read more
