Don't underestimate the spice here LOL. My spice tolerance isn't the greatest to be fair, but it…read morewas a bit too spicy for me. The staff did warn us when we asked for medium, but even the mild was too much for me. Eventually I was able to enjoy the flavour, but the first half hour was painful not going to lie. The selection isn't that big but they carry all the essentials. It is pricier than other malatang places I've been to though. My bowl landed at a little over $30. The restaurant is fairly small and casual, nothing too fancy! Would be good for a quick bite if you're around

This is located in the plazas right outside of Vaughan Mills (same plaza as Starbucks)…read more My other half and I came on a Friday at 1pm and the place was quite full. The concept of this place is that they have a wall where you get to choose all the ingredients you want/like, you head up and get it weighed, choose a soup base and then go sit down. At each table there is a bard code scanner where it takes you to a website where you can order extras such as skewers, drinks, sides etc. It's about $3 per 100g with 400g minimum for the soup. Rice is $2.99 extra or you can get noodles from the wall. Service was solid and friendly and the food itself was ok but that's all the good I have to say about this place. Unfortunately my visit was tainted as they took about 20 ish minutes to make our two bowls of soup. I understand they were busy but since most ingredients and the broth was pre made I don't understand why it took so long and it doesn't help when your hangry. The wall of ingredients was crammed so it's super hard to tell what's squid, what's tofu, what's beef aorta etc Overall just be ready to WAIT and deal with a tiny bit of confusion as you choose your own adventure on the ingredient wall.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

I always appreciate thoughtful packaging and solid execution, and this spot nails both. The sushi…read moreis consistently fresh and flavorful, with every roll hitting that sweet spot of texture, fish quality, and balanced seasoning. The Aburi Hamachi Oshi had a great char and was the standout because, honestly, blowtorched fish just wins every time. The Double Salmon Maki might look basic on paper, but it surprises me on every visit with how good it actually is. The seared butterfish in the Forbidden roll was rich and silky, and the seared scallop in The Fantasy roll was just as satisfying. No notes, just great sushi.

I tried the mandu kalguksoo and I really enjoyed it. The soup was very flavourful. Portions were pretty big - it had a lot of noodle but only two mandu.

Everything was authentic and fresh. They were not stingy on refills. Came here around 6pm on Sunday. It got pretty busy around 7pm. This is a great spot and I would come here again!

I recently visited Seoul Kyoja. The place is newly opened, very clean, and the staff were friendly…read more We ordered the Seoul Kalguksu, dumplings, and the dumpling kalguksu. The dumplings seemed like they might be handmade (I'm not 100% sure), but they were pretty good overall. Unfortunately, the kalguksu noodles had a rancid smell and taste, which was really disappointing. The noodles also didn't seem handmade, so it was surprising that something as inexpensive as noodles would taste like they had gone bad. It's confusing because everything else about the restaurant -- the cleanliness and the service -- was great. But serving noodles that taste almost spoiled really ruined the experience. Because of that, I probably won't be coming back.

Came here twice during my Toronto trip last month - and both times were overall solid experiences…read more Place was very clean and bright, however I find the tables a little tight, especially when you have large winter jackets to deal with. Service was relatively fast despite it being very busy. Team was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the second time i was there, my bun bo hue toke way longer to arrive, the table was halfway done there meals when my bowl finally arrived. A little bit of communication would have been nice, just got the "it's coming" the two times I asked about where it was, no timeline or anything. Spring rolls were kind of bland, no real flavour - however the crunchiness hits the spot. Bun bo hue when it arrives is truly amazing! The perfect amount of spice - makes you sweat a bit without killing you - you can still taste everything you're eating! I do prefer Toronto's Pho Anh Vu over the Vancouver location, somehow the Bun Bo Hue doesn't hit the same over here.

I've read great reviews on Pho Anh Vu so I decided to give it a try. The server was funny and…read moreentertaining which made our visit fun. The place is quite small and they get busy so expect some crowding. The food was delicious and had exceptional flavour and quality. My partner and I had the Bun Bo Hue (5/5) and the Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice (5/5). Bun Bo Hue was filled with meat and blood pudding. It was not as spicy as I had hoped it would be but the flavour profile was irresistibly good. Grilled Pork and Chicken on Broken Rice had ample portions of meat. They were tender and juicy. As I mentioned, the place gets busy and packed. We were a group of 8 and I tried to book a reservation a couple of days prior to our visit. To our disappointment, they did not accept reservations at all. The wait time was quite long since we were such a big group. This was quite hectic and stressful for the servers. Hopefully this can be considered in the future for big groups (8 people and above) to make the service smoother.

Service was good, and the place had plenty of seating space which was nice…read more The ramen was just so-so. The pork char siu slices were very thin, and for the price, it didn't really feel worth it. Flavor-wise it was okay, but nothing beyond expectations. The chicken karaage was even more overpriced. $9.2 for just 4 small pieces - so basically ~$2.5 a bite, not worth it. Overall, it didn't really aligned with our expectations. We thought it was in a corner of the plaza so the price would have been reasonable, turned out that it wasn't really. Probably wouldn't revisit.
