    Came here on a Monday lunch. Been hearing great things about their marinated crab, and cold noodles Food: - Korean Spicy Cold Noodles. Came here on a hot day, so it was super refreshing to order. The tangy, spicy soup base was mild, and fresh with veggies beef and egg. Yummy, and delightful. - Marinated half/half gejang. Half soy sauce marinated crab & half spicy marinated crab. It was sooooo good. My first time having marinated crab and it did not disappoint! I would recommend this for sure. Sauces were complimentary to the crab flavour. The spicy sauce is the one I preferred and enjoyed. Highly recommend ordering this in season! - King Tonkatsu. Pork cutlet served with brown sauce. Tbh I've had better, I would stick with the soups & crabs on the menu. If you want added protein go for it! HUGE portion to share. Brown sauce is mild, served with rice. Service: attentive and quick. Friendly and polite :) was not busy on the day we came in, so we were attended to in a timely manner. Ambiance: casual, tables for groups of 2-6. Bright natural light. Parking: beside the strip of restaurants there is free parking. Overall, would definitely come back, and recommend to friends!

    I really enjoyed the cold noodles here. They were nicely prepared, with great flavor and the perfect noodle texture - chewy without being too firm. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable, making it a nice place to dine. The service was attentive throughout the meal as well. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

    Half and half raw marinated crab

    We came here on a recommendation of a friend. It's located across the street from J town in a pretty industrial area. There was sufficient parking and other stores nearby for other treats. Service was good though they were quite busy for a weekday lunch, which is a good sign but can be hard to get a hold of someone. Otherwise, it was great service. Raw marinated crab - warning: this is a super messy dish! You get plastic gloves to help keep your hands relatively clean. We got the half spicy and half regular. The regular soy flavor helped to accentuate the natural fresh flavor of the raw crab. The spicy version has a really nice heat that grows over time. It was nice to have both options. The texture is something to get accustomed to but the crab pairs well on a bowl of rice. The beef stew we got was the seolleungtang. The broth was delicious, light yet flavorful. The beef was super tender and the sauce that came with it also pairs well. Noodles inside and nice and soft. Banchans were also great. The mashed potatoes was smooth, silky, and had a nice sweetness. Radish was spicy and acidic to cut the main dishes. Kimchi was crunchy and spicy with good acidity. Finally, the japchae was freshly made, noodles were good texture, nice hint of black pepper. Price: Arguably a few dollars on average than other Korean restaurants but the quality of food is good.

    After hearing good things about Naju, I finally got a chance to try it myself! Had dinner here on a Thursday evening. When we arrived we were seated right away. The server was super friendly and checked in with us periodically to refill our sides and make sure we were okay. Great service here! The restaurant itself is located at the plaza at steeles, east of woodbine. On the other side of steels from J-town. Plenty of parking. Inside is clean and spacious with enough tables to serve decent size groups. Decor is also clean and simple and nothing too fancy. I felt that you can have a casual meal here. The menu itself is extensive but not overly so. I think they're known for their gookbap (soup and rice dishes) so I went with their original beef gookbap and I have to say it was as tasty as the gookbap I had in Seoul. Super flavourful, hot and the meat was tender and tasty. Even my friend had a taste and immediately said he'd come back for that too. We also ordered the kimchi jeonggal (kimchi stew?) with tonkatsu, marinated raw crab, kimchi pancake and tteokgalbi. Everything was really good and we immediately said we'd come back for the food here. I want to try the rest of their menu! Recommended 10/10

    Raw marinated crab (half/half) and shrimp
    Holly K.

    Just ok! The food was fairly disappointing considering the value and I don't think I'll be returning. I came here with 2 friends on Sunday for dinner and the place was surprisingly pretty empty. We were all craving raw marinated crab which is why we ended up here, along with hearing about this spot recently opening and wanting to try somewhere new. We ordered a plate of half/half raw marinated crab plus marinated shrimp to share, and our own mains. I got the gomtang. We were disappoint by the crab. Unfortunately, they weren't super meaty and lacking some flavour. Squeezing one half of the body only really gave me a spoonful. The soy sauce marinade used for both the crab and shrimp in general was pretty bland. I tried to dip it in the sauce further just to see what the flavour was but still didn't taste much. The broth of the gomtang was yummy and cozy... I enjoyed the hint of sweetness it had. But I feel the portion was on the stingy side. I wish it had more noodles and substance to it. The beef was nice and tender but they were very thin. You wouldn't be able to just have that on its own and be full. However, my friends really enjoyed their mains -- the tteokbokki (I tried it as well and the sauce was amazing... of the best I've had) and soontofu (which I did not try). Overall, it seems they have mastered a few select dishes but the items we were excited to come for fell short. The cost for our meal was just over $50 per person after tax and tip which is up there for a meal that didn't hit the mark. Their service was pleasant and attentive but my cravings weren't completely satisfied after. I'll be trying another competing spot nearby for their crab next.

    Came here for dinner on a weds night and it was pretty empty, we got a seat fairly quickly. We ordered the half/half marinated crab, the pork bone soup and beef patties. The marinated crab was well seasoned and had a good taste. The pork bone soup was different from what I was used to but it was good and flavourful, however the pork bone was not fall of the bone meat. The beef patties were delicious! I absolutely loved them, they reminded me of kalbi without the bone! Overall very tasty and the staff came by to check to make sure that everything was ok and if we needed additional side dishes. FYI: 5 star reviews may be because of the promo they offer which gives dumplings or pop.

    Seolleongtang & Kimchi Jeongol
    Jenny Y.

    Went for an early dinner today. I ordered the Seolleongtang (설렁탕) which was very good! Seasoning was spot on. My friend ordered the Kimchi Jeongol and enjoyed it very much as well. Not spicy, but well-rounded in flavour. Service was great and the place is very clean!

    New Korean spot at this plaza! Minimalist decor. Nice and bright in the afternoon. I was not able to try their marinated crabs since it was sold out. But tried the shrimp and galbi tang was delicious. Love their kimchi as well as they were not very tart, just how i like it

    Pork bone soup. They use beef broth for all soups.
    Michelle T.

    Tried a new Korean place and it was pretty good! Their soups are all made from beef broth. Service was attentive and the vibe was casual and modern. They have only tables of 4 so if your party is more than 4, be prepared to squish someone in on a side chair. We loved the side dishes and I heard that the crab was excellent! Pair it with a soup and it's quite good :) I had the pork bibimbap. I think they could have put more veggies and the pork was a little dry, but otherwise it was tasty! Would recommend, but I hope they have more non-beef options.

    Eddy Z.

    The cold noodles and bulgogi combo was delicious, especially on a hot summer day. We went here during lunch hour, and it wasn't too packed - service was great as well! Our food came out quickly, and there was a good amount of noodles and meat. The restaurant is located in an area with lots of parking, which is free for 3 hours. Although a bit pricey, the food is worth it!

    Kimchi Pancake
    Nancy T.

    First time coming here, we didn't order much as we tend to order a lot and end up having to pack it home. We ordered only 3 dishes, and I would have to say, the pancake and raw crabs were decent. For the raw crabs, the sauce could be stronger, but everyone's taste is different. The soup was great; it is one of my favorite soups, so I had to try it. The service was not bad, but they were busy and kept running around. We did get half the things we asked for, but it's all good. The noise level is decent as well, and I would come back for the soup and maybe try other things on the menu.

    Decided to come back to this restaurant for their limited time lunch special. They have 4…read moredifferent noodles between 12-14$ which is a great deal. We tried their pork kalguksu which comes with nice thick slices of pork, torched on each side. Tender and meaty. The noodles are cooked well, al dente. The pork broth is rich and flavorful. The cold noodles are very refreshing for hot summer days. The broth has a slightly sweet, a little tangy flavor to it. Lots of glass noodles also cooked al dente. Comes with an egg, sliced beef, cucumbers. Also really delicious. Banchans are fresh and have a good spice to it for those with spice. Service was good, it wasn't too busy so there was only 1 server working. Definitely recommend trying their noodles for a quick, affordable and delicious lunch.

    Decided to have lunch here on a Saturday afternoon and I was very pleased!…read more The quality of the meats were amazing - they were tender and very flavourful. The banchan were very good and we were able to get refills on them which is always a plus when going to KBBQ. The dining experience is interactive, with staff providing grilling assistance to ensure guests cook their meats properly. The ambiance is stylish and modern, making it a great spot for date nights and group dining. Also a plus is they do validate parking if you've parked in the garage! I highly recommend trying this restaurant out if you're a KBBQ lover. Definitely will be coming back!

    A comforting brunch at Bonjuk Canada - perfect when you're not feeling 100%…read more My partner and I finally sat down for a proper brunch at Bonjuk this afternoon, and it was exactly the kind of meal we needed. I've been dealing with some dental pain, and my partner is just getting over a nasty cold, so we wanted something gentle, nourishing, and easy on the body - not a heavy, greasy brunch. Bonjuk's whole vibe of "comfort food with heart" really delivered. We'd only done takeout before, so this was our first time dining in. The space is small but really welcoming - warm lighting, clean and simple decor, and comfortable seating that makes you want to slow down and relax. It's not a huge place, so there aren't tons of indoor seats, but that also gives it a cozy, intimate feel. Service was friendly and low‑pressure, which we appreciated when we were both feeling a bit under the weather. We ordered the Chicken Porridge ($23) and the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap ($24), both for dine‑in (prices don't include tax and tip). The chicken porridge was savoury, and soothing, with a rich broth that felt healing without being heavy. It was easy to eat with my sore teeth and left me feeling comforted, not stuffed. The beef bulgogi bibimbap was a nice contrast - colourful, fresh, and full of flavour. The bulgogi was sweet, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the mix of veggies and egg made it feel like a balanced, healthy meal. It's definitely a step up from typical brunch fare if you're looking for something lighter but still satisfying. One thing that really stood out was their baby porridge menu. It's such a thoughtful touch - separate, gentle, low‑salt options for little ones. As someone who's seen new parents struggle to find safe, easy meals out, this felt genuinely helpful and kind. It's easy to see why their marketing feels like they actually care about making food that's good for people, not just trendy. If you're looking for the best value, I'd say go for takeaway. We noticed a steady stream of takeout orders, and the overall costs are slightly lower that way, especially when there are discounts offered by different order platform. Overall, Bonjuk Canada is a good spot when you want something comforting, healthy, and easy on the stomach - whether you're recovering from illness, have dental issues, or just want a more mindful brunch.

    TLDR: Premium rice porridge made in a Korean way so all of the flavors are Korean ones like bulgogi…read moreor kimchi. The portion given is generous so the price does reflect that too. -[OCTOPUS KIMCHI PORRIDGE] $20 The octopus doesn't have that strong of a flavor and there didn't seem to be that much of itbbut the kimchi definitely packs a punch. Loved all of the sides it came with, especially the pickled radish (?). Would be interested to try their non-porridge dishes by dining in next time. The woman who took my order was super kind and provided an accurate ETA on when the porridge would be ready. Would come back again!

    Comforting Korean soft tofu stew any day…read more Buk Chang Dong is still the most popular spot in the city for Korean spicy tofu stew. It's dotted all over the city, with a popular following. My better half for one can't resist going when we are in the mood for Korean food. Especially when we encounter cool weather, as was the case during a stormy downpour outside. There are rear parking spots and it's possible to walk through the back door though staff frowned at us going through this while a group did the same later. The menu is still simple: a small selection of Korean spicy tofu stews along with dishes like Bibimbap that pale in comparison. We always order #1 & #3. Soon Tofu ($17.50) with beef, mussel, shrimp for me; kimchi, beef, pork for her. Following the individually-portioned banchan, boiling red cauldrons loaded with silky tofu arrived hot out the kitchen and we quickly cracked an egg in to cook raw. Soup broth was rich savoury seasoning plus adjustable heat. Unfortunately the Bibimbap ($19.50) only came in one level of spice in the sauce, which was a level of heat that was too spicy for our child to enjoy. We noticed the prices were raised recently. The purple rice bottom accompanying the Soon Tofu makes for a good after-meal rice soup for which I enjoy having with the refillable banchan. Do as the locals do, and we always see this restaurant packed with Koreans. They also offer a 5% cash discount at the front counter. Skip it or hit it? Hit it for a warm Korean meal especially on a cold day.
