TLDR: Super tasty; when they say it's spicy, IT IS SPICY; bang for the buck; get the redbean waffle!!! This one was beside the HMart in Yonge and Churchill. I was just doing my daily walk goal and good thing i brought my wallet. In the first picture, you'll see the menu. It's really cheap and this is something i would spend for a snack. It was hard for me to find a spot where I can eat all the stuff I got. well, it's a street food anyway. I bought like 7 items in total but they didnt give me a bigger brown bag :( im not sure if they have but it would come handy for people who would like to buy more Flavour: Im not good with spice but for some reason, I was able to tolerate the spice on this one. It doesnt really burn and I could still taste the flavour along with the spice. I love the redbean waffle! It comes in 3 :) it was too hot so make sure you wait for a bit! It's so soft and still good to eat after a few hours read more

You get what you pay for: cheap Korean street food that's premade from frozen (except the taiyaki that's made on the spot). The soups tastes like miso soup that you would buy from the store, very salty. All the seafood are very fishy tasting. Everything is drenched in either a spicy sauce or teriyaki sauce. The taiyaki was crispy on the outside and filled with red bean paste which would taste better if it were a tad bit sweeter. I did enjoy the Bulgogi, Kim-Mari and the spicy ketchup based sauce. There was no line up when we went, staff is friendly but there is a definite language barrier; I had to repeat my orders a number of times. My food was barely warm, maybe it's better during the rush hours. The soups, however, were piping hot! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. If I was in the area, had only a few coins in my pocket (items range from $1.25-$5), and was hangry, I would stop by again. read more

This food truck is right outside of shoppers drug mart and this is my go to place for Seafood Ball $2.25 for 4 pieces and fish cake with soup $1.25, one skewer. I love their seafood ball, as the inside has some chewiness to it and the exterior is dry but inside when you bite into it, it's tasty. I can sometimes each 8 pieces by myself. They will ask you if you want spicy, I enjoy the spicy sauce, and it is not too spicy. The fish cake with soup comes in a skewer, it's perfect for winter. Sometimes I come here before dinner or if after dinner I am not full, I will also come here for snacks. The flavour is always consistent for my two go to items. read more

I will always get something from this family-run food cart when I passed by. This food cart kinda reminded me of street food in Asia. It is near Finch station. I usually get something from it when I saw it or I passed by it. What I recommend: red-bean fish waffle (for sure), fish cake soup, spicy rice cake It is super clean and it looks pretty clean. High recommend for a quick bite near finch station. read more

This is SO SO SO Neat!! A food cart in the middle of the street in North York selling Korean snack food!! I don't believe my eyes when I saw the food cart on the sidewalk and I scream with delight "Karl!! This must be the Korean thing you yelp about!!!!" So cute with the little gold fish cake maker and they are light and crisp and warm for $2/3! Thanks for Lauren M for sharing! I think they are better than the one at Green Mart! There are also other Korean snack food that all reasonably priced. I for sure will going to back to try them all! I wish one the day there will be one for Thai, Chinese and other Ethnic food cart appearing in the Toronto area instead of just boring HOT DOG stand! read more

I would rate this place a 4 star if I were to rate just the food since they serve decent food for cheap. However on my last visit (a couple months ago), I got ripped off. I order 3 fish cakes, and their squid balls. They told me that their squid balls were going to take a while, so I asked if I can get the fish cake when they're done making the squid balls. They agreed, and they told me to wait for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, they gave me the squid balls and not the fish cake. I told the lady that I also got the fish cake but she disagreed. After a few back and forths, she finally gave me one fish cake and told me that I may have ordered 1 but not 3. And since they don't keep a record, there was no way for me to prove it. I liked the place but I was disappointed by their service. read more

One of Toronto's hidden gems I swear!!! I always have to make a stop here whenever I'm in the area. Korean street food -- noodle dishes, fish balls (spicy or teriyaki flavour) & more. Fast service and the people who work the cart are always so nice. I HAVE to get the red beans waffles every time I go. (Always freshly made) (I am aware these photos aren't the best but since I found the business on yelp I will be posting another set when I visit again ^.^) read more

Cute food truck located near Finch Station. I got 3 taiyaki (3 for $3 and 1 for $1.25) and they were still hot when I ate them. The edges of the taiyaki are and taste a little burnt though. However, compared to other taiyaki stores, this taiyaki is not filled with batter and more with the red bean filling. read more

Pojangmacha Food - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I came here last winter and forgot about this review in my drafts! My friends and I got the Pan Fried Rice Cake and Red Bean Waffle Dessert. The rice cakes were great, they were nice and chewy, especially chewy from being fried, and the sauce was nice and thick, coating the rice cakes beautifully. They were nice and spicy too! I didn't really like the waffles though. The batter was thin and a little rubbery, and most of the fish was the red bean filling. I would have preferred if the outside was crispier! A great place to get something cheap to eat if you're in the area. I recommend the rice cakes! read more

Pojangmacha Food - Pan Fried Rice Cake - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I always wondered how they can operate in such a tiny space! The food they make are hot and ready when ordered. I got the odeng (fish cake) and it was really good, first time trying it street food style, especially the soup that came with it. The pan fried rice cakes were chewy but delicious. I will for sure try their other menu items!! read more

Pojangmacha Food - Odeng & pan-fried ddukbokki - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This review is based purely on the waffle cake fishie. For ~$3 we got 3 fluffy and hot taiyaki! The taiyaki was crisp on the outside but soft and HOT on the inside. It seemed like they were made on the spot. Service is FAST. They know that people want their desserts around 6-7PM. This is a must try if you ever walk by their little food truck. There are lots of other things on their menu (how do they fit everything inside???) and I will return soon to try them! I believe they only take cash. read more

The food items are pre-made(maybe they make a huge batch during the busy hours) so the wait for food is not long. For what you get and the price I think it's a bit overpriced, especially since it's from a kart, very small portions for the price. The red bean fish dessert is delicious! If you need a quick snack, this is a great option. read more

Pojangmacha Food - Red bean waffle dessert - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a family-run spot and it reminds me a lot of Seoul so I decided to stop by and order some Odeng with some broth. For the price it was okay. Friendly and fast service - only come here if you want a quick snack since they don't have any seating. Note: They only accept cash. read more

Pojangmacha Food - Odeng with a tasty Broth - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I can't imagine how they could improve their hot, delicious, freshly-made waffles, baked in a vintage cast iron mold over real flames and stuffed full of a sweetened red bean paste that is perfection, and even the price is great! Other items on the all-snack menu are rather pedestrian and range from "not very good" to "just ok", but the waffles are the best I've found. They're open all kinds of crazy hours, on Yonge St. Just below Finch, in front of Shopper's Drug Mart, and are perfect for a late-night treat, and at just $3 for 3 crispy packed full red bean fish waffles, you really can't go wrong! read more

Pojangmacha Food - Delicious Bungeoppang red bean paste filled waffles made in vintage cast iron molds and served hot and fresh when you order them. - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I never buy taiyaki from those overpriced crowded nightmarkets. The taiyaki here taste way better and are cheaper. This food cart offers varieties of small snacks like rice cake, squid balls, fish cakes ,etc. the prices are all around 2-3 bucks. The portions are small since they are snack and which is fair for the price. Love to come here in winter, it is so cozy(minus the walking/ waiting in the cold part). Would be amazing if they have soju and beer with a few set of chairs and tables like the night markets in Asia(take my money(yo we need dai pai dong here in t.dot) 4/5! Perfect for people who can't eat much and want to snack on a bit of everything. read more

I happened to be in the yonge and finch area and found this really cute cart. got the red bean waffle (3 for $2.50) and it's soo delicious; cute fish design that is crispy all over. Dough is not tough and chewy because they used rice flour to fry. Inside, the red beans are not too sweet, which i'm happy about. Seriously recommend. Too bad i came here after dinner, or else i would've tried a lot more! Definitely coming back one day! read more

Il probably come here often because It's so cheap and convenient (right across the road from the subway). The foods decent... Definitely worth the price Cash only read more

Cute little cart to grab some snacks. First time trying the Fish Waffles and I love them! Cute bite size desserts. Very delicious when they are fresh and crispy! They are now $2.50 for 3, and if you are watching what you eat, can get one for $1. I've had other snacks here before, but I thought they were pretty average. It is pretty brutal to have to line up in the cold. But when it's warm it's alright. Will come back to try more varieties! read more

Pojangmacha Food - Red bean fish waffle @ Kim's A La Cart - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Been here so many times and they never disappoint. I wish there were more food carts. These make for great snacks to pick up on your way home once getting out of the subway. I love the taiyaki as well as the SPICY sauce in their rice cakes! I have no idea what there hours are like. I think they close during certain times of the year (winter?) read more

Love this place! It's great when you're in the go and you want a small filler or a whole meal! It's really cheap and tastes great! the people inside are very friendly and very close to the finch subway station! Love their spicy rice cake on the skewer with their fish cake soup! Most items are a dollar :) read more

Pojangmacha Food - Spicy rice cake skewers and fish cake soup! A must try :) best in the winter time but still amazing during all other seasons :) - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This little cart serves a list of korean staple snacks. Very affordable and convenient for on-the-go or just to satisifes those tastebuds. I absolutely love their Red Bean Waffles as many yelpers have expressed their contentment. Crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside; filled with a read bean paste. It is also in the shape of a fish, how cute! Their rice cakes with teriyaki sauce and the spicy sauce was mediocre. But I mean, it is grab&go food and you do pay for what you get. I found it to be a bit on the tougher side rather the tender side however, it was acceptable with the sauces. The Rice Cake & Sausage skewer pretty much taste like how it's advertised. Again, rice cakes were on the tougher side and as for the sausage, it was made well. Sausage had flavour, similar to a pack of sausages that you'd get from the grocer. Like the rice cakes, you get to choose to have it with a teriyaki sauce or the spicy one. Haven't tried all the items yet however, winter is approaching and I will be back for their soups and dumplings! read more

Pojangmacha Food - Red Bean Waffle - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Mm so nom nom good -stuffs mouth with fish shaped red bean waffles- Mmmmmm.. Delicious hot red bean waffles, pork belly skewers, and squid balls! Came here on a freezing Saturday night with no lineup and no wait time. They had a special for $2.50 - 2pcs pork belly & 2pcs squid ball. It was amazingly flavourful!! Looove the red bean waffles. Crunchy on the outside and full of sweetness inside. Portions were small but it's about the right size for the right price. I don't think it can get any cheaper. Hooray for street food/street cart/street snacks etcetc! read more

One of the fave street food for people in North York. Especially those live just upstairs.. like me. Fish shaped red been waffle is my fave. $2 for 3 fresh made crispy waffle is such a steal. Pan fried dumplings look good. Tried the fish cake once too, not a big fan. Pork belly Skewer is another famous product and OF COURSE, they have spicy rice cake. Just love street food more than anything. Want a simply tea time, grab a red bean waffle and get a green tea latter from Starbucks steps away, then your afternoon will be perfect. Welcome to North York again :) read more

I think it's decent for street food but just okay. Quality-wise, the fish cakes taste like side dishes from Korean restaurants. I always get the red bean cakes and they're fresh, softer and smaller than the usual ones you can get from a Korean supermarket. Pretty good price and easy to grab for on the go. Bring cash and don't expect a receipt. read more

I'm a sucker for this place. Each time I go past, it's hard not to grab a snack, especially as they're ridiculously affordable. $1.25 gets me a stick of odeng (fish cake) with a cup of steaming hot fish broth. That'd be amazing for winter. Also summer. I had this when it was like 25 degrees Celcius outside. Still good. $2.25 gets me 3 pieces of gimmari (sweet potato noodles wrapped in seaweed, battered, and deep fried) with either sweet hot sauce or teriyaki. I got hot sauce this time. They were fairly generous with the hot sauce. The extra sauce went into my odeng broth. Extra yums right there. My snack cost me $3.50. Not bad, given that this actually has nutrition in it. Their red bean fish waffles are fresh, more often than not, given how many people buy them. I've also been to Red Bean Waffle House, which is also owned by them, but the atmosphere here is so much nicer because it's actually on the street. read more

I ordered red bean fish cake, odeng,kimali and fried rice cake ($6.50 total cost). I recommend the red bean fish cake, it was crispy outside and lot of red beans inside! Spicy rice cake was a must try for only $1! Odeng was one of the worst odeng street food i've tried, nothing comparable to Korea. kimali was just ok! I'll get more red bean fish cake next time im in the area. Good price and decent quality street food for what you pay! read more

My favourite taiyaki place! Cheap. Quick. Delicious. What more do you need? Whenever you pass by, do yourself a favor and order 3 taiyaki for $3. Thank me later. read more

I come here just for the fishies. Which is the taiyaki red bean filling fish shaped waffle baked goods. $1.25 for 1, 3 for $3. Just get 3+, don't even hesitate for a dollar each. They are usually made on the spot, you can see them filling each mold to be made fresh. The Hmart by Churchill also have the taiyaki. I found this stall usually makes it crispier, and thinner batter. The street stall is right in front of Shoppers. This is one of the few stalls left from the old Toronto initiative to have more variety then just hot dog for street foods. While most stalls closed down - this one remains successful. I've been going to this for over 10 years now!!!!! Cash only read more

I was walking back from Finch station when I noticed Pojangmacha next to Basil Box; it seems to have moved from its previous place in front of Shoppers. Since I haven't had it in a while, I decided to get my usual order of red bean waffles and pan-fried rice cake. The waffles come in 3s and are made fresh on the spot. I like that the batter is slightly crisp w/o being oily at all and that the red bean filling was not too sweet; a nice cheap treat esp. in this cold weather. As for the pan-fried rice cake, it had a nice crunchy layer before getting to a soft chewy center. The spicy-sweet sauce also complemented it quite well. However, the quality is a bit inconsistent, I've had times when the texture was just tough all the way through. 3.5 stars. read more

the place isn't gone, it moved over to the other side of the street (near where basil box is) not to fear! you can still get delicious korean street food :d read more

**SPAT IN MY FOOD** As much as I've loved this cart before - I, like many people have had terrible experiences. My boyfriend and I ordered two fish cake soups, and both skewers came in one cup. Not a hard problem to fix, right? Wrong. When we asked for a second empty cup, the cranky old lady replied with: "no, you should've ordered separately". I believe you are as baffled as I am. After nicely asking her again for the empty cup ( we assumed she didn't understand the first time), she proceeded to take an empty cup ***SPIT IN IT*** and throw it at us. As convenient as this cart is- It is dirty and has not passed health inspections multiple times (pay attention to the health inspection signs posted and you will see). Spare your change and get some clean and non-questionable korean food. read more

To hell with the current food truck craze. I'm surprised to learn Yelp has an entry for this food CART, because it is friggin awesome and flippin cheap! This is probably the only cart left from the miserably failed "Toronto a la Carte" food cart program the City ran a few years ago that is still in operation. It is usually set up in front of the Shoppers Drug Mart at Yonge/Finch. And it will blow you away with awesome Korean street foods for the streets. All you need is a handful of change to try it all. Teriyaki rice cakes? Yummy! Squid balls? Omnomnomnom! The sauces they use pack a punch of flavours and/or spiciness. The old aunties serving the freshly cooked to order stuff to you are cute in the grandmotherly way. The cart is convenient for transit commuters and office workers in the area. But not for lazy downtowners and hipster-foodies who rarely trek anywhere north of Eglinton. Of course they should, but I feel compelled to disclose they also have another location in one of the shipping container booths at Market 707 (Scadding Court CC, Dundas/Bathurst). read more

This my favourite Korean snack cart! It is soooo good. My to-go snacks are spicy rice cake and the squid balls. If you can't handle spicy, you can also get a teriyaki sauce to go with it. Honestly though, everything from here is so good. Go get some! read more

This Korean food cart is located just right in front of Shoppers. People queue here for the fish-shaped waffle. The red bean waffle is slightly crispy on the outside and spongy inside with the piping hot red bean paste. They have 10ish Korean street food in their menu. It's hard to conquer all their snacks at one time, but Kim-mari is a must try!! The Kim-mari is so yum! Deep fried seaweed roll filled with glass noodles and with spicy sauce; superb! $2 for 3! read more

2019 December: it's located on the north east corner of the finch/yonge intersection. Tasty snacks. They only take cash and new bills. I don't think the owner or workers speak English much at all, but you can generally order in a handwavy manner. A bit more casually run, so note that it could close early by 10-20 minutes at times. read more

F*CK yeah, this place has fish-shaped waffles stuffed with red bean paste! 3 for $2. The waffles are cooked in a fish-shaped waffle iron, very similar to the walnut irons at Hodo Kwaja. 4 stars just for the novelty value. But they were pretty tasty and served piping hot! read more

The Korean Man hummed a few verse of K-tunes. Preparing the next batch of Bungeoppang. Lady prep'd my order of Daily Special O-Sam($2.50). Sauce option of Spicy or Teriyaki. 20% Tip'd. :D A skewer of 2-piece Bacon-wrapped mini Fishcakes. Take that bench seat nearby if available. Do not litter! Pojangmacha Food Cart @Finch/Yonge. Something about it reminds me of my past. I do miss ASIAN street food culture. : ( I do miss the lights, sounds, snacks. read more

Random street food right in front of shoppers drug mart! They have the popular red bean fish desserts and many other small eats that are decently priced, and great to top off the night, if you have just had another meal down the street. Most of their items are around $5 and is reheated or made to order. A few things to be aware of is that they are cash only, sometimes run out of the items that you want but stay open to sell other products, and sometimes they are just closed without notice. I've been there about two times when the cart was closed up. read more

This place is the bee's knees, the bomb diggity, the everything good wrapped into a little stand! Sure the food is sometimes a tad bit cold, but whatever, It's delicious! Everything here is so cheap! My favourites here are: 1. The Dumplings : Currently, they have 3 kinds, beef, kimchi and curry chicken. I can't decide between them, so I usually get all three. 2. The Squid Balls - My friend is addicted to them!! They're so yummy is ridiculous! 3. The Red Waffle Fish - Definitely the highlight. Three well stuff fishies for 2.50. They're such a great snack! I love this place. I will keep coming back over and over and over again. read more

I've passed by this cart over the last 2 years since I moved into the area. I really wanted to try it every time I passed by it but never had the chance. Well last week before a Yelp Event, I decided to grab a few things to try as I was advised the Yelp Event food will be limited (it was not). Grabbed pork belly, beef dumplings, chicken skewer and veggie pancake. I reallllly wanted to like this place but unfortunately did not. There was a guy making those fish shaped pastry things and obviously was busy but asked me for my order, I had a feeling he'd not remember since he was busy with the pastries but I told him it anyway. That led to a short pause as he kept doing his pastry thing, then he asked me again for the order cause he forgot (duh, stop multitasking), and he asked 1 last time, for a total of 3 times. Ok whatever, it's a cart I'm not expecting Scaramouche service. How can I describe all the items? Luke-warm mehness. Pork belly tasted and felt like beef jerky, beef dumplings was ok?, chicken skewer was nothing special and veggie pancake was no crispy but flourey like not fully cooked. Disappointed to say the least. read more
