    Best place in Ontario for raw marinated crab! The spicy crab is amazing and the soy one is great if…read moreyou like sweeter flavours. The kimchi stew was extremely flavourful and a must try if you like rich kimchi flavours. The marinated shrimp was not bad but the crab is the star of the show. The free sides are great as well as the complimentary barley tea! The restaurant had ample seating and I did not feel rushed at all. The place was clean and the workers were kind. Must visit if you're in the area!

    I came here during Korealicious to try traditional Korean soy-marinated crab and shrimp…read more The complimentary side dishes were great. My favorites were the sweet soy-braised tofu skin, japchae, and spicy cucumber salad. The hot barley tea also paired really well with the marinated seafood. Marinated Crab The platter comes with six half pieces of soy-marinated crab and six half pieces of spicy marinated crab. The soy-marinated crab tasted very traditional, with a strong sweet soy sauce flavor. Compared with another Michelin pop-up restaurant I tried before, this version was much richer and saltier. The blue crab meat had a soft, jelly-like texture from the curing process, which was impressive. However, the soy sauce became quite dominant after a few pieces, so I highly recommend pairing it with the beef tendon soup or barley tea to balance the flavors. The spicy crab, however, wasn't my favorite. Instead of the sweet, savory heat that I usually associate with Korean gochujang, it leaned more toward the direct heat of Korean chili flakes, similar to the spice level in tteokbokki. I felt the spiciness overwhelmed the natural sweetness of the crab rather than enhancing it. Marinated Shrimp I was worried that eight shrimp wouldn't be enough, but the plate was huge. They use giant tiger prawns, each about the size of my hand, so two or three are already quite filling. Because the prawns are so large, they are only lightly cured, so the meat stays firm and springy instead of becoming soft like the Cantonese-style marinated shrimp I'm more familiar with. The sweet soy marinade penetrates the meat very well, making every bite flavorful. However, after a few shrimp, the soy sauce becomes increasingly dominant and the flavor starts to feel one-dimensional. Personally, I prefer the layered flavors of Cantonese-style marinated seafood, where the freshness of the seafood is complemented by ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and fish sauce. Beef Tendon Soup This ended up being my favorite dish of the meal. The broth was rich with beef flavor and had a wonderful silky texture from the collagen released by the tendon. It paired perfectly with the marinated seafood. A sip of the soup cleansed the palate from the strong soy sauce, making the next bite of crab or shrimp taste fresh again. The tendon itself was tender and well-cooked. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the mustard soy dipping sauce served on the side. Overall, this meal felt more like experiencing two very different marinated seafood traditions. Korean-style marinated seafood emphasizes the deep savory flavor developed through soy sauce curing, while Cantonese-style marinated seafood highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood with layers of ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and fresh aromatics. Even though I personally still prefer the Cantonese style, I enjoyed experiencing this traditional Korean approach.

    Since the move to Markham, Jeon Ju Hyang has become one of our favourite places to grab dinner…read moreafter work, especially when I have a fried chicken craving! It is a smaller location compared to the one at Midland & McNicoll Scarborough location; nonetheless, the food here is amazing too! The service is very speedy and courteous - there is always this one lady that takes care of FOH, cleaning up and taking care of everything! You order via QR code online, and the staff will immediately bring you some Korean appetizers to start - all very yummy, and you can ask for refills too! But save room for the food; the food is very satisfying here. I often get the Galbi Tang with beef short ribs, veggies and sweet potato noodles. I love their fried chicken a lot but I can't eat too spicy, so I ask for the sauce on the side for light dipping :) They offer gloves to eat with your hands, and an extra metal bowl to put your bones - very thoughtful!

This location is small but the tables are spaced out so you can sit comfortably. It is in a busy plaza but it is never too crowded. You can order via the QR code and they are pretty quick! Side dishes are my favourite and they are delicious but limited to one refill. The portion sizes are pretty decent. I like the seafood pancake here. It is great for sharing.

    Came here for lunch with my hubby, we ordered the Monday special and gumjatang. The restaurant is…read morequite spacious with tables and some private rooms. After we placed our order, they serve us caa cup of hot somen (so good), it warms your stomach. Later the meals came with 5 banchan, they all seasoned perfectly, my favorite is the lotus root and Kimchi. Slice pork broth soup lightly salted and comes with 2 dips (mini sauce pot) on aside, personal preference would be gochujiang mix on the right which gives you a punch of spice. It's hard to find good Korean restaurant in Markham/scarborough. This is definitely a hidden gem, will definitely come back with the boys.

    De Chou has a lengthy menu to match with dishes made for a crowd. The kamjatang jeongol ($47.99) is…read morea hot pot stuffed to the gills with pork bones, potatoes, rice cakes, zucchini, and even enoki mushrooms and jalapeno garnishes. The broth wasn't very salty but still flavourful and once you let the peppers steep into the broth, they add a lovely spicy kick. Another substantial dish is the steamed pork bo saam ($49.99 for large) where slices of pork belly are kept warm on a hot plate. Diners tuck these soft meat slices into lettuce, Napa cabbage, and turnip with a smear of the savoury bean sauce for a protein packed bite. Our table was split about the haemui pa jeon ($28.99). The size of a medium pizza, it's made for a group. Personally, I found it way too thick and didn't contain enough ingredients to balance out the doughiness of the Korean style pancake. Conversely, my relatives preferred the heft as it contrasted the crispy exterior and soft interior. I guess it depends if you're a thin versus pan crust type of pizza lover. I'm firmly in the Neapolitan camp. I thoroughly enjoyed the crust that develops on the bottom of yachae dolsot bibimbap ($18.99). And the hot stone rice bowl contained a good combination of ingredients to ensure there was plenty of vegetables and beef to go around. De Chou's LA kalbi ($34.99) was rather neutral with very little sauce, so you mostly taste the beef. I personally would have preferred more sauce to help caramelize onto the beef ribs, but the older members of the family appreciated the plainness and liked that it was tender. This is a long review for the rest go to Gastro World.

    A Friend came to visit and watch the new Demonslayer movie. So we brought them here for a pre movie…read moredinner as they never had something like this. Service 10/10 - today they had 3-4 waiters/waitresses working so there was always somebody coming in to check if things needed refills. Our waiter (sorry the name is escaping me.) was a newer parttime worker but was providing us 10 out of 10 service!! Food - 10/10 we got alot more sides than normal today for our friends to try. The tteokbokki was nice and had a deep flavor. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Rice balls was nice and soaked up the tteokbokki sauce. This time we got the half half with spicy bossam and Bbq jokbal. They were both really good flavors. The store had kpop playing at a moderate volume. But we had no issues chating away while sipping on soju. Definitely recommend!

    Came here to introduce our friend to Jokbal. We ordered the half and half (spicy Jokbal and the…read moregarlic Jokbal) along with the seafood pancake. We love how the sides are refillable but I don't think we ever ask for refills more than twice as the portion is so generous. Hanyang Jokbal has always been consistently good, and it's why we always come back. The portion of food is always plenty, the taste is unmatched and the sides are delicious. While the food took some time it was understandable as it was very busy. The waiter was very apologetic about the wait. In terms of the interior, it's just one more thing that makes this place such a good dining option. The interior makes you feel like you're not in Toronto. While it does get quite loud, I think it just shows how much people are enjoying the food and the vibe. Hanyang Jokbal is definitely a must!

    They've brought Korea to Markham! Although it is a takeout-only place, they bring better value…read morecompared to other famous Korean restaurants in the city. The taste is at pat or even better than the well-known Korean places around while the portions are much bigger. We ordered takeout a few times already. The owner is super friendly and even prepared some special side dish for us as my son has a particular one that he liked from another Korean place. Overall, if you are craving takeout for a big group, their family pack is the way to go. Do order a few hours in advance of lunch or dinner time as the prep time can require some time. Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of "wait". As they say, you can't rush "art" (in Korean food prep and cooking). Our favourites - bolgogi, kimbop, fish cake sides, japchae, and seafood pancake.

    This is a take-out only restaurant. I believe it's run by a older Asian couple and they're both…read morevery kind. They are located on Hwy 7 in a small lot with four parking spots at the front. We ordered the bossam, seafood pancake, and budae jeongol and the bill came to ~$100. The bossam was quite a large portion and the flavour was quite delicious. Our favourite item was the seafood pancake. We devoured that and if given a choice to only order one dish, I would definitely recommend the seafood pancake. The budae jeongol (as a solo dish) could easily feed two people. They pack the soup in two large circular soup-like takeout containers and the ingredients in a square container - same as the ones that the bossam and seafood pancake came in. There were plenty of tteokbokki, sausages, cabbage, and ramen noodles. We put the dish together in a wok and kept it heated on a portable induction cooktop. They gave four containers of banchan: fish cakes, japchae, radish kimchi, and mandu. My only complaint about this experience (4.5/5) was their inaccurate waiting time. I called in around 5 PM on a Wednesday to place my order and they quoted that the order would take around 20 to 25 minutes. I showed up ~30 mins after I called and they didn't have the food ready until 5:50/5:55 PM. I understand that they're busy, but I would have appreciated a more accurate wait time.

You get 1 hour 45 minutes for lunch and can choose 4 soup bases for free, which was nice. We picked sukiyaki, spicy sour soup, tom yum, and beef tallow broth.

The menu for dinner is quite robust and everyone was able to find multiple things that they enjoyed. I particularly love the japanese glass noodles. It goes amazingly with the tomato or sukiyaki soup base. I also love that they provided us with a soup skimmer so we could get rid of the oils as we continued to cook. Compared to the Scarborough location, I'd say this one felt calmer even though it was still pretty packed. I think it's just the way the booths are spaced out and it's really well staffed. It wasn't a long wait for anything, and always easy to flag someone down if we needed to order or just needed some help. The parking here though is quite difficult compared to the Scarborough location. Theres a ton of competing restaurants and the lot isn't large enough to accomodate all of them. There's more parking in the underground space though so you can walk through the plaza if you like.
