Came to this restaurant with my friend and her family, they said it's the restaurant they always go to when they crave Korean. I ordered the kimchi bibimbap, which was good, but nothing special compared to other bibimbaps that I've had. When coming to Korean restaurants, I find that half of the reason for my rating is the side dishes that they give to you alongside your meal. The side dishes here were lacklustre, and all four side dishes had the same taste -- spicy, sour, sweet. It's this reason that I'm giving the restaurant 3 stars; if you're going to get a typical bibimbap, might as well go to a restaurant that serves better side dishes! Although it was not busy at all on the day we came in, we still had difficulty getting our waiter's attention. However, this type of service is to be expected in an Asian restaurant setting. Verdict: Do not think I will be coming back, as I feel like there are better Korean restaurants in Mississauga. read more

Man Doo Hyang - Kimchi bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Despite the same rating, I still wanted to update it because apparently it's under new ownership. I cannot confirm this as it's been a few years since my last visit. The food is solid, but they really either need more staff or more attentive staff. I was seated shortly after arriving, but sat at a table without a menu for quite some time. As I observed, staff was running back and forth like chickens with their heads cut off! One waitress even had her baby on her back in a carrier...while waitressing! It was a bizarre scene to say the least. Never saw anything like that, not even in China. I wish I could ignore these things, alas my eyes see everything... read more

A great Korean restaurant in Mississauga! I have been here a few times. ATMOSPHERE: It's very spacious, so it can accommodate large families/groups. Décor is pretty sparse, but it's clean and bright. There's traditional floor seating, but lots of table-and-chair seating as well. SERVICE: Average. Service was there when needed, and they weren't pushy. Didn't have trouble ordering in English - which sometimes can be an issue in smaller restaurants. PRICE: Reasonable for the large portions! They have lots of fair-priced, family-sized grill sets or soup and rice/noodle combos - all great for sharing. FOOD: Good banchans, including mini mandoo (dumplings) which they are known for. Their fried mandoo appetizer is highly recommended! All the other usual Korean fare - pork bone soup, bibimbap, etc. - are fairly reliable here. read more

This is my (Korean) family's go-to place for Korean food when we're in the Mississauga area. That, in itself, should be high enough praises to check this place out, but let me continue. Man Doo Hyang, like its name would suggest, is known for their homemade dumplings. These dumplings are large - like, almost comically large. They are also delicious. Make sure to bring along a few friends and get the hot pot to do it properly. It's spicy. It's flavourful. And there also happens to be a TON of it, if you happen to have an appetite. If you're looking for some Korean comfort food and you're in the area, I would highly suggest giving Man Doo Hyang a try! read more

We came for an early dinner on a Saturday. November is the birthday month for my mom and mother in law so they chose to have their birthday dinner here. There were 7 of us in our group but were able to get seated promptly. Unfortunately for us, our table was by the glass windows and the people seating in front of them, could feel a cold draft on their backs. The restaurant tried covering the windows up with bubble wrap but it wasn't working. The service was prompt even as more people were coming in. They refilled our banchan a few times and they were attentive. The food was a little above average overall. The Dumplings Soup was good according to the birthday ladies but I was disappointed with my Pork Bone Soup. Meat was a little tougher and the only vegetables they added was bean sprouts. No cabbage or potatoes like in the other restaurants. The broth was good though as it wasn't salty. The tangsuyuk was good. This place is not bad but I think you can find better Korean food in Mississauga like Song Cooks, Owl or Nuri. I have been here before as this place has gone through a few owners. At least their food hasn't gotten worse. Recommended somewhat. read more

I had my ever first Korean hot pot experience here and it was a mostly pleasant one. My girlfriend and I shared one hot pot and for around $30 it's a pretty good deal considering the portions for two. The main thing here was the mandoo dumplings which were very different from what I am used to: it's not mainly meat based. You don't see meat in there, it's a mixture of a whole bunch of things with meat and veggies including cabbage. Also Korean dumplings are pretty large in size! These things take a couple of bites and just fall apart on you. The noodles were udon based and were the nice and chewy. There was also crispy watercress and enoki mushrooms and the broth was of a mildly spicy variety. The broth was excellent and flavorful. Just try to eat the hotpot somewhat quickly as the items do get soft and mushy by the end of it. The restaurant was so chilly you could just feel it! When most of your customers are wearing jackets inside your restaurant that probably means it's too cold (even with warm hot pot). Service was almost non-existent but I suppose that's what is expected from a place like this. read more

Man Doo Hyang - Noodle and dumplings hot pot - more than enough for two people! - Korean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

It has been a year since I last visited. Side dishes were just meh. We ordered BBQ pork belly you must order min two exactly the same item for table cooking. Each order came with two pork belly and it was around $10/ pork belly ( please see my picture) which was expensive. We also ordered family share seafood ja jang noodle, the portion was small for a family. We had 6 of us. We each got one small plate of noodles thats it. The noodle was very bland, noodles were soggy- not impressed. Our third dish was rice cake with cheese- portion wise it was small again. This dish actually tasted not so bad. We were not impressed with the services. The waiter was clumsy. Overall, the experience was not good. We will still visit Song Cook which it is about 10 mins away. read more

Stopped by for lunch and was pretty impressed with my meal! Not only that, the ladies working were super sweet which made my whole experience a lot better. For appetizers, they gave us three kinds of Kim chi. The Kim chi was super spicy though... the spiciest Kim chi I've ever eaten ahah but the other two dishes were great. We ordered the fried dumplings, spicy pork and kimchi stir fry and spicy seafood noodle soup. The fries dumplings was my favourite out of everything. I got 6 dumplings for $7.99... it seems a lot but trust me the dumplings were huge! The right amount of crunchiness and filling. It was totally worth it because there was so much filling in each dumpling. Seriously each dumpling is the size of two ping pong balls LOLL. Couldn't even finish this so I ended up packing it. I had the spicy pork and Kim chi stir fry. This was my least favourite but it was still okay. I didn't enjoy it as much because it was way too sweet for me... I killed the rice really quick to balance out the sweetness Lol! However there was a really good amount of meat, but for $15.99... not sure if this is worth the price :P My boyfriend got the spicy seafood noodle soup and he really enjoyed it! He really loved the hand made noodles and broth. I also had a taste of the broth and it was fantastic. It looked so delicious even these two old ladies walking by had to ask what it was! I believe this dish was $8.99, which i feel is really fair given the portion and quality. I really enjoyed this place as well because the restaurant is spacious, so you won't be siting right next to strangers like you would at owls haha. Overall, our bill came up to about $42 after tax for all three meals and a beer. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good Korean restaurant in Mississauga :) price and service is on par! read more

ALERT ALERT THIS IS AN ALERT, FYI I hope that caught your attention because this restaurant is now under new management. What was a solidly average restaurant is now a must-go destination because of the new chef and operations manager. This gentleman was previously the main dude at Lim Ga Nae on Bloor st (see my previous review, pls). He has now brought his talents to Mississauga so get your mouth ready for pleasure! Wait. That doesn't sound right but you know what I mean, right? My wife and I had bo ssam and gamjatang. Delicious. The panchan? Mmmm, yes indeed. The service? Cmon, it's Mike. He's the mfing man, bro. I am very excited for the new direction this restaurant will be taken by the veterans that are now running the show. Is this the best Korean restaurant in the city? YUP. read more

A prior luncheon engagement cancelled, I came to visit this place as I read from c---hound recommendations about this place for their Noodle and Dumplings. All I have to say to the person missing out in my bad soup Nazi interpretation is "No Soy Milk Soup Noodle for YOU!" Looks pretty crappy from the outside, It actually looks like a rundown pub from the outside. Inside is a totally different story, it has that perfect setting that I love as they have normal seating as well as TATAMI area. Korean TV is on the LCD and there are some whimsical white boards with various notes and scribbles displayed on the side walls. I came in for lunch being greeted by "An nyoung ha seh yo" as most of the other few tables of patrons where either a couple of mid-age Korean ladies or single elderly Korean gentleman, I'm the EXCEPTION of course. Looking through the Menu I stuck with the first 2 pages which was the reason I came. Page 1 was Specials such as Cold Noodle, SOY MILK SOUP NOODLE, Fried Dumplings, Boiled Dumplings, etc... While Page 2 was where my meal was decided because they had a HANDMADE Noodles with Dumplings in Beef Broth($7.99). Best of both worlds and 2 birds with 1 stones DEAL. The lady serving didn't really react much when I ASKED if I can take a photo as if she didn't understand my English, but she was friendly and didn't seem to mind. As she served 3 banchans(Kimchi, Sour Radish, Spicy Radish) and SURPRISE a small delicious! dish of tiny dumplings. The Noodle came and it was a BIG portion but what made this meal was the Dumplings which looked so PLUMP and the skin was handmade and perfect chew to it. It was so plump and round that I was waiting for it to explode but somehow the seams never gave way. The Handmade Noodles were just as amazing as the Dumplings, cooked to exact doneness and great consistency and texture. The broth was OKAY as well and its unfortunate that us Non-Sauga Yelpers cannot get this day in day out. I saw other patrons got various other items as well so it's not that everyone preferred one dish over the other. There was a SERVICE BELL right on my table at the corner spot but the cashier was sitting right behind my back because that was where the cash register was. Does someone know what this says: http://www.koreatimes.net/kt_weekly_korea/63706 read more

So after passing this Korean/Afghan stripmall almost everyday, I said to my friend, hey, let's see if there's anything good in here to eat. To my surprise, there are quite a few places including this one, K-Pocha (korean Fried Chicken), a bakery and an Afghan take-out place. My friend was like "this place looks ghetto, let's go somewhere else" and I said "let's go in and see first" and he reluctantly agreed. I knew all along it couldn't be that bad because there were some good Yelp reviews ;-). After we walked in, we decided to stay since it was quite pleasant and cavernous inside. Our food: pork bone soup, Korean Kimchi and beef stew, and Korean Fried Dumplings. First the banchan came out and it included kimchi, sweet radish, sour radish and rice. Nothing special, all decent. Love the fact that they served rice though. Then, the Korean fried dumplings came out and they were massive. and as most people said, these were the size of a toddlers first and packed with meat, with a crispy shell on the outside. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!. As for the entrees, my friend said his PBS was okay, However, my Korean Kimchi and beef stew was really good. It had a perfect spice level for clearing your sinuses (which I appreciate in Korean soup) but with good flavour. The only thing that could have improved was to have more beef. I felt it was mostly kimchi and tofu. Still though, very enjoyable. So if you are thinking of going to Owl for Korean, think again. For PBS, Owl is great, but if you want something other than PBS, this place is great to visit, despite the sketch mall. read more

One of my favourite Korean restaurants in Mississauga! If you come here, be sure to order the Budae Jjigae (Korean army base stew)! It's 25 bucks for two people and 34 for three but you can seriously feed more than suggested (if you're not ravenous). I would suggest splitting the smaller one between three and the larger one between 4-5. Being able to feed three people for $10 on quality Budae Jjigae is amaaaaaazing. It's a kimchi based soup with ramen, rice cake, pork, ham, sausages, enoki mushrooms, tofu, green onions, onions, and so much more. It even comes with rice! Get friendly with who you're with and just eat straight from the pot: super Korean thing to do and it just makes everything taste better for some reason haha Each pot only comes with the amount of rice for the suggested amount of people, so be sure to order an extra bowl of you plan on sharing it between more! I also love their dolsot bibimbap and I heard crazy good things about their Korean barbecue. Things I don't recommend: jjajangmyun (it's alright but honestly nothing special... I would go to that place across the street instead) or their fried dumplings (crispy, but tasteless). Pro tip: there's a Korean bakery in the same complex with awesome cream filled pastries. Don't miss out and grab some dessert afterwards! read more

My favorite Korean restaurant in Mississauga! The food and ambience is top notch with authentic Korean dishes that always deliver in terms of quality and taste. If possible, try to eat at the heated floor area if you want to change things up a bit. You must try the pork bone soup (no brainer), bulgogi, or if you're with a group, their hot pots which are all delicious (especially during the winter). A must visit if you're ever in Mississauga. read more

Man Doo Hyang - Dumplings with noodles and veggies hot pot. Sooooo good. - Korean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I went here for the first time yesterday and I was impressed. My friend and I ordered the bulgogi ($14) and seafood pancake ($16) and noticed that the prices were a bit higher than other places in the area, but as soon as the food came, we realized that was because the food portions were considerably larger than other areas. Both of us really liked the seafood pancake; unlike other places I've had it in, there was a lot of shrimp and squid and they didn't skimp on the seafood. The pancake itself was really big and tbh, we could have shared it between us instead of ordering another dish. The bulgogi likewise was quite large, but because there were so many vegetables, there wasn't as much meat and it wasn't as filling as in the bulgogi from Downtown Toronto. Both dishes tasted great though. There wasn't as much variety in the banchan (3 types only), but I felt that the flavours were different enough so that the 3 were sufficient. Their banchan is spicier than other places and overall very good. Service was good too. I like that I didn't really notice the waiter/waitresses walking around too often and that made the restaurant quiet; a good place to chat with friends. Maybe that was because I didn't go during the lunch/dinner rush hours. When I was about to leave, I asked for a takeout box, then I asked for more kimchi. Other places usually don't give you refills if you're about to leave since they don't want you to take it home. That or they give you very little. But our waitress was very generous and gave us a large refill, allowing us to take some kimchi for the road. I really liked how they weren't stingy on ingredients or kimchi. I've had that in other places and it became an annoyance. When we were finished, we had to get up and pay at the cash register by the door. Tax is not included in the menu prices, but my friend told me that she didn't see a place where she could leave tips so she didn't. So I guess tips aren't necessary there. I definitely will be coming back, probably in the winter so I can try their hot pots. I read other reviews and saw there was a traditional on the floor seating area and I'm disappointed that I didn't even see it when I went. Next time I'll try that seating area, the hot pots, and their famous dumplings. read more

My friends and I love this place! We come specifically for their homemade rice wine. We are always debating who will be the designated driver for the night lol. There are two kinds, regular and premium. The premium goes down more smooth, and the regular is more cloudy (from the rice) and tastes a bit more salty... If that makes sense. Their dumplings are also very good. But my go to favourite is their Korean style spicy sausages in hot pot. Its a big dish that you use on the cook table. It comes with instant noodles, hot dogs, spam, tofu, pork and veggies in the spicy Korean soup. Its all my favourite things in one!!! I'm drooling thinking about it. read more

The pork bone stew here is great but so large!!!can feed four ppl. It was my husband and I so we had so much leftovers. The pork ribs were tender, broth super spicy, and they give you two huge dumplings in the soup. I would recommend for authentic Korean food that's fresh and hot! And I agree with another reviewer they only give you kimchi as an app...but the kimchi is soooooo good! read more

Yesterday was my second time having dinner at this Korean restaurant with the same group of friends. On my first visit I had their pork bone soup so I decided to try out their soft bean curd in seafood soup. Service is almost non-existent here as the server only comes by to take your order and give you your food. My seafood soup was disappointing because there was barely any seafood in it and mostly soft bean curd (tofu). The shrimps were puny and the one mussel was small. However, the soup was tasty. It was an alright dining experience. I'm pretty sure there are better Korean restaurants in the city than Man Doo Hyang. read more

I am glad I found another authentic Korean restaurant in GTA! We came here on Saturday for lunch, and the place was packed with Koreans which is a good sign. We already knew what we were getting: the shareable dumpling hotpot. It came in a huge pot with six big dumplings, rice cakes, noodles, kimchis and veggies inside just for two people! Dumplings were very delicious, packed with the filling and a thin skin. It could be a bit spicy for people who don't have a high tolerance to spicy food. If that's the case, ask the server to make it milder. Overall, a very tasty, authentic Korean dish that I would order anytime. I loved their freshly made kimchi too! Friendly service and reasonable price. I would definitely come back to check out other dishes. read more

One of the very rare place that offer Gochang (Korean Grilled Intestine) in the menu. Food tastes good enough but not really something that stands out among other Korean restaurants nearby. For the price of $40 for 2 servings of BBQ platter, the portion was quite like a snack size. I hope that they might consider looking into the portion being offered. Service was okay.

If you're looking for authentic Korean food in Mississauga and you're willing to brave a suicidal left turn into a sketchy strip mall, this place is it. Most Korean restaurants focus on Japanese entrees and sashimi / sushi with bimbimbap as an add on. Here, large jugs of fermenting rice wine are prominently centre stage in the dining area and the staff only speaks Korean. Tables are fitted for Korean hot pot experience and the soups are filled with seafood or chunks of meat. My order of the Korean dumplings, man doo, and a spicy seafood tofu soup left me completely full. The smiling but silent waitress takes our order quickly and returns with two hot cups of tea and 3 ban chan plates of kimchi and pickled vegetables. The kimchi is young and not fiery but it's flavourful. The kimchi white radish has a nice crunch while the pickled white carrot has a nice sweet and sour profile. A plate of steamed dumplings arrived quickly. The 8 dumplings are $5 and they were the size of a medium peach. They're stuffed full of pork with cabbage and green onion. The skin is a bit thick but cooked well. The soup is a giant red broth filled with shrimp with the heads on, clams, mussels, and calamari. It's light on the heat but I was told to ask for Korean hot next time. There was a lot of soft silky tofu as well to provide a custardy texture to the soup . A raw egg is provided as well to add into the broth. The side of rice is not your plain sticky white bland starch. It is filled with forbidden rice, sticky white rice, beans, dates, and butternut squash. Definitely bonus points for this! They also pour in broth into the crusty rice bowl to create a watery congee. It's light on flavour but if you're still hungry somehow, you can finish off with that. For the 2 entrees and dumpling plate, it just hit the $30 mark. Good flavours, silent but courteous service, and homey Korean food in Mississauga... For those of us that live away from Yonge Koreatown or Christie Station, this is a fantastic alternative. read more

Located in a nondescript plaza off Dundas, Man Doo Hyang is a popular Korean restaurant and a great way to experience Korean food beyond AYCE BBQ. The name of this restaurant translates to Dumpling House, and these dumplings certainly don't disappoint. You can order them fried or steamed; I prefer the latter as I find it lets you taste more of the dumpling. Note: the soy sauce/chili for the dumplings is contained in a tiny squarish porcelain jar with a lid to the side of your table. We rotate through a lot of options when we come here, so I'm entering list mode: 1) For groups of two or more, the Kam Ja Tang is popular here. Unlike other restaurants, the pork bone soup is brought out on a burner and cooked at the table. Koreans seem to possess the inherent ability to consume liquids while on the boil...I prefer to preserve my taste buds. If you want to sound like a snob, make a comment to your table on the potatoes, as they're specific to these Korean dishes. 2) Typically bulgogi at restaurants is horrible, and one of the cheaper meat options. Not here, where (again, cooked at the table), the bulgogi is thicker, flavourful and delicious. 3) If you're not looking for group items, try the Handmade Noodles with Dumplings in Beef Broth. This soup has a deep, rich flavour to it and is very satisfying. Add the ddok (rice cake medallions) if you want more starch. 4) For something different, you could try the Jajang Myeon. Derived from a Chinese dish, these noodles are smothered in a thick (really thick) black soybean paste, minced pork and veggies. I typically can't finish a whole order myself (it's thick stuff), but Koreans can wolf this down like school girls at a Big Bang concert. Ask for scissors to save your wrists from chopstick-related strain. The service can be hit or miss (I find there's a revolving contingent of young Korean males with varying degrees of competence), but don't be afraid to wave down anyone. Older Korean men typically don't give a damn and just shout out what they want. You could use the service bell glued to each table, but these are only responded to half the time. read more

I agree with my fellow Yelpers that this is definitely a hidden gem for authentic Korean food in Mississauga. Every time I go, it is pretty busy and it seems that most of the customers who go are Korean - which is always a good sign. This is a franchise based off the one in Toronto. While I agree that the food is consistently good, the service can be terrible at times. It was nearly impossible to flag down a waiter to refill tea, take orders, etc. during busy hours, especially if you sit far away from main area. I also felt like they had a preference for customers who spoke Korean. The waiter forgot one of our orders, insisted that we take our appetizer even though since they were already "making it" after we finished our meal, and even had a busboy ignore our requests for tea. Sadly, the bad service had me dock a star from this place. Despite this, there is no denying the food. Here are some things that I would recommend: - Handmade Noodles with Dumplings in Beef Broth (great for a cold day and for $7.99 fills you up and good choice for something non-greasy and fried) - 'Jajjangmyun' Handmade Noodles in Black Bean Sauce (again cheap and comes in huge portions, really tasty meat-like sauce with their perfectly done noodles) - 'Gamjatang' Pork Bone Soup (I haven't tried this but I hear it's very delicious and endless pork bones to nom on) - Stone Pot Bibimbap (classic but they do it right here and not expensive at $9.99) - Fried Calamari with Pork & Vegetables (addictive & tasty but on the greasy side, like bacon, but also quite expensive at $14.99 - good plate to share though) What I don't recommend: - If you order anything with their any dumplings in soup, don't order their dumpling appetizers, they are the EXACT same thing but pricier - Some of their grilled/sizzling plates seem to be on the more expensive side, and they have a lot of cheaper meal options that will just as likely fill you up read more

Pretty disappointing lunch. The restaurant is so cold at lunch time (about 12:30pm) everyone seems has to keep the winter jacket on. Ordered DolSotBap, beef and seafood. The dishes were ok, nothing special or surprise (3/5), we also ordered their house rice wine (0/5), which I had it a few years back for quite few times. However, it tasted wired this time, fermentation seems not right, we could not really drink it and the owner thinks it is fine. Really bad choice. I guess the new ownership didn't improve the food much, but clearly they do not know how to maintain the rice wine quality and taste. Will not come back. read more

Overall a good Korean Food experience. Make sure you stick to their main focus of dishes -- ie Dumplings (Aka Man doo) and such. The only dish I've had there which was an utter fail is their Dak Tori Tang (spicy chicken stew). It just didn't taste great and the chicken wasn't very 'stewed'. I'm going to have to learn how to cook my own. read more

This hidden gem in Mississauga gets you authentic Korean food at downtown prices. It's not your typical Chinese owned, with Japanese fusion type place, and you'll get more than just Japchae, Bimbimbap and Bulgolgi. One of their specialities is their homemade dumplings and handmade noodles. I don't know what they put in the dumplings, but they are huge and filled with some sort of beefy goodness. I could totally come back for more dumplings. They also have Pork Bone Soup and a beef Bone soup I would love to try. I guess the one thing to mention is that we only got one refill of tea, not that we asked, but I'm just saying. They also had Kalbi but at $14.99 for minimum two dishes didn't seem worth it. Someone tell me otherwise! Note: not sure what the place used to be, but it says on the door "dress code in effect" read more

It's too bad about this restaurant because the food is really good, however the service from the female owner is horrible. It looks like this restaurant is owned by a married couple, and the gentleman is a sweetheart but the wife is extremely unprofessional. When we were paying for our bill, I was going to leave a tip in cash, so when she noticed I didn't leave a tip on the debit machine she yelled at me - "NO TIP?!?". Everyone turned around and looked at me and I felt so humiliated, I started crying and my husband had told her we were going to leave the tip in cash. I just walked out and continue to cry in my car and my husband left the gentleman a $10 tip in cash. I love the food here but I am never going back as I've never been so humiliated in my life. read more

Another favorite Korean place in Mississauga! I wanted to try a new Korean restaurant but was still looking for good traditional Korean cuisine. This place did not disappoint! I went for the beef hotpot with vegetables. I had pretty low expectations (I'm not sure why) but I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful everything was and the super quick service. Prices were very reasonable and there was more than enough food for two people. I'll be back here again! read more

Man Doo Hyang - Beef hotpot with vegetables - Korean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

For those who don't know, mandoo's are Korean dumplings. I used to come to this particular restaurant a lot when I lived in Mississauga. It's like comfort food. Noodles and hot broth just makes things just right for some reason. Great for colds - makes you feel good, not a cure for cold. I've tried everything on the menu and everything is very good. The fried dumplings are a meal itself and always a must when I come here. They are big and freshly made. You definitely want to try the mandoo and noodle soup. This is a classic Korean dish that my grandmother used to make from scratch. It will never be as good as my grandmother's but it's close enough. They also have floor seating, which surprisingly gets occupied or that authentic feeling of Korean dining. I prefer to sit on a chair but there are some that love the novelty. This place wouldn't be my first choice for Korean food but it's pretty good. This miss here is the service, which can be a pain. They always seem like they're understaffed. Can be a little frustrating. read more

Great selection on the menu. Practice your Korean though as most items are in Korean with pictures. Very friendly. Visited on a Saturday afternoon. Not very busy but steady stream of customers. Started with the steamed dumplings. Very plump, Hot fresh and tasty. They are a 3 bite size and there had to be at least 6 or 7 of them in the order. Had 3 of us for lunch so ordered the Korean Beef for 2 and a dumpling in beef broth soup. More than enough. Beef came with 2 bowls of rice and the usual sides (kimchi, radish and something else). Served with hot tea and cold water. Prices were OK. read more

If I want Korean food, I usually come to this place or the Korean fast food nearby. Their food were alright but they have this self made Korean rice wine that makes them special in the area. Also, I like how they have the "calling bell" for each table. I would say the food in this restaurant are pretty authentic. We were greeted by the waitress when we walked in, and while waiting to be seated. The owner greeted us happily with Korean and followed up if we got our table yet or not. One thing I might not like about this restaurant is the complimentary dishes (Korean side dishes). They only give you couple dishes not like some other restaurants outside in the Scarborough area. However, I like their kimchi. I think the kimchi tasted a lot better than other places I tried so far. read more

Went with a group of 4 on a Sunday night. I ordered the ox tail soup with the knee (balls of collagen).. Sounds weird but tasted delicious and my skin loved it too. We sat at the heated floor area. Perfect in the winter. Half their menu is "Not Available" including the fried dumplings that everyone is talking about. The rice is just plain white so I ordered the purple rice for $3. The side dishes are different kinds of kimchi. Pretty bad selection for non-spicy eaters. read more

Not great. Asked for the cheque like five times, got a blank stare in response while the waiter just carried on his work and ignored us. Side dishes were mediocre/limited compared to every. single. other. Korean eatery I've been to, and consisted of merely radishes, another dish of what looked like potatoes but were more radishes, and overly salty kimchi. Overly salty/spicy Gam Ja Tang, and yes I know it's supposed to be spicy, but in a good way. I've had loads of gajatang that burnt my tongue but was still delicious to eat. This one just made my stomach feel uncomfortable and tasted cheaply done, and I struggled/failed to even finish half of it. Overly expensive for what we were served as well, which is typical for Korean restaurants, but appalling for the food and lack of service we got. I'd've given it 1 or 1.5 stars if possible, but rounded up to 2 since at least the establishment seemed clean.. read more

NOT SO COOL: maybe our server was new, but the service was off. service in asian restaurants are known to be bad, but then there's common sense: i asked for a tea refill, but she just thinks about refilling one cup, instead of everyone's cup at the table (group of 6). I had to literally bring the cups to her, so that she doesn't leave my guests with unfilled cups. the server didn't clear the table until after the dessert was served. am i silly for expecting good service at asian restaurants? ah. i can dream. THE GOOD: celebrated my birthday here. authentic korean food. delicious. great portions. wish i could tell you what i ordered, but i don't know the names! COOL: two areas of seating. you could do the traditional sit-on-floor. or you could sit on a table with a stove in the centre of the table. OVERALL: i'll come back :) the food was good. read more

I've been here several times over the past few years and I think it's gotten worse. Service is not very good here. Waited so long for everything. Waited for tea and water, waited for them to take our order, waited for them to bring out our food while others (perhaps regulars?) got everything so quickly. As I am writing this, I've been here for over an hour and still eating. The table beside us got here after us, order before us and got their meals before us. They left the restaurant 10 minutes ago. It's also really difficult to flag anyone down. We just gave up. The food is good but I noticed that they don't include as much complimentary ban chan like they did in the past and the quality has gone down - they don't include as much meat in the dishes as before. I feel like they're charging more and offering less. Too bad there aren't a lot of options for Korean food in the west end. read more

I used to love come here often. The little dishes used to have variety, but not anymore. The seafood noodle soup are extremely spicy and we told the owner it tastes different but he said it's always like this. I would not recommend it anymore. read more
