Original fried chicken. Boneless.
John D.

Visited twice. My table was one of a handful. Service was quick. Staff was very polite and attentive. First time. Fried chicken and rice cracker in veggie soup. Rice cracker in veggie soup was.. different. I really liked the appetizers. Kimchi. Glass noodles. Pickled turnip (I may be wrong about the turnip). And pickled bean sprouts. Waitress brought out takoyaki AFTER I paid the bill. What a cute gesture! Thanks for making my birthday! I really appreciated it. Second time. Fried chicken and tofu veggie soup. I enjoyed it more than the previous soup. Appetizers were on point - which was expected. Staff was, again, polite and attentive. Thanks for having veggie options!

Sad banchan
Tania L.

Compared to the last time I came here, I found that the quality of the food has decreased. Service is almost non-existent, and the banchan is quite boring/bad. I ordered a kam ja tang (classic Korean fare) - and for $10.99, I was expecting as much if not more meat as other places. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed to find that I had three big hulking pieces of bone... with not that much meat on said bones. That said, I did enjoy the addition of the bean sprouts and I liked having more napa cabbage - I just wish that it wasn't at the expense of protein. The flavour was good, slightly spicy and very salty. Last time I came to Song Cook's, my favourite part was the purple rice - this time, I found the purple rice to be quite dry, stiff, and not really earthy nor rich. It was quite saddening. My friends ordered the seolleong tang and spicy stir-friend pork on a hot plate. The guy who ordered the ox bone soup wasn't used to its very pure and clear taste; he found it tasteless and hated it. The banchan this time was kimchi (decent), some stringy and chewy seaweed salad (weird), bean sprouts, and japchae. The bean sprouts are usually my favourite, but these weren't your standard sesame oil ones. They were lightly salted, but were still good. However, the japchae was disgusting. We left it virtually untouched. There was none of the rich sesame goodness, and it actually had a very stale flavour. I'll probably not return - I loved Song Cook's before, but I now find it grossly overpriced and not that good. With so many other Korean options, there's no reason to come here anymore.

Was craving for some Korean food and came across this place so my friend and I decided to check it out. When we arrived on a weekday afternoon, it was not busy at all and there was only one other table seated. Not sure if our server was the owner or just a worker but he was really helpful in suggesting what noodles to get, and very welcoming. He recommended I get the seafood stir fried noodles and mentioned that he made the sauce himself. I enjoyed the food, and the noodles were very saucy as well which I couldn't finish in the end. Overall, the food was good and filling, and workers are very nice.

Kung pung gi- jajeungmeung- rice cake- spicy pork bulgogi
Larena L.

Came here with my sister for lunch- and dang was that the best decision we've made in a while ! We got the rice cakes (Dok bokki), spicy bulgogi (pork) and then the combo with jajeungmeung and kung pun gi Everything was awesome. Best dishes were definitely the spicy bulgogi and the jajaeungmeung. But everything was good don't get me wrong. The rice cakes were just the right amount of chewy not too fishy either and just perfect tang of spice. The kungpung was crunchy but the sauce was little too sweet ish. Still good but I like another places sauce a bit better. Coming back for sure

Pork bone soup
Tyler D.

My friend and I came here on a Saturday around 4pm and there were only three or four other people in the restaurant, which we were a little skeptical about. But I guess that's a good time to come to avoid any lunch or dinner rushes. My friend ordered the beef bibimbap which she liked a lot, and I ordered the pork bone soup which I had been craving for a few weeks. The soup was great - really flavourful, had a good amount of pork and a bit of a kick to it as well. Service was good as the restaurant wasn't very busy - the food arrived only a few minutes after ordering. The prices were very reasonable as well. I'm not in that area too much but would return if I happen to be there again, and would recommend checking it out if you're looking for Korean food!

Pork bone soup. Pork Kalbi. Eaten side dishes: Kimchi, pickled radishes and onions
Elaine S.

This is by far the BEST korean food I've ever had. I'm in Mississauga a lot during the weekends and this weekend I was craving some Pork Bone soup. I've been to 3 different korean restaurants (all my finds were through Yelp), but this one definitely beats them all. This place was small on the outside but when my boyfriend and I walked into the restaurant, this place was a lot bigger then expected, filled with Korean families enjoying meals. The menu was at least 5-6 pages long with a wide variety of different apps, entrees and combos. All of the meals were reasonably priced and instead of calling the servers... there were bell buttons at each table (which makes it extremely convenient). I had asked our server what was popular on their menu and he was really kind and showed me four different recommendations and popular dishes. I ordered their famous pork bone soup and replaced my white rice for Brown rice, barley and beans (additional 2 bucks), my boyfriend ordered pork Kalbi with white rice and we got a take out meal of spicy pork Katsu that came with rice and a side of kimchi. Our side dishes that came were onions that were marinated with a sauce, pickled radishes and kimchi. The pork bone soup came with two scrumptious extremely meaty pieces of pork bone, cabbage, potatoes and topped off with bean sprouts. The brown rice, barley and beans were so good and healthy... it hit the spot. My boyfriends pork Kalbi was delicious too. The service, atmosphere, and overall experience was great. The food was the best Korean food I've ever had and i would most definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. I would come back to try other things on their menu.

Spicy pork with rice
Angelica D.

We had a group of 6 for our monthly get together. We wanted to try something new. We've done Korean BBQ but never an a-la-carte. We were seated immediately and our waiter was actually the chef of the restaurant. He treated us all so well, made us feel welcome and was very helpful and informative when it came to choosing items off the menu. I can speak on behalf of our group in saying that this place was really great. I ordered the spicy pork with rice. It came on a sizzling plate. When they brought it to us you could smell the spiciness of the pork (I love spicy food so I was excited to dig in). The chef came and checked on us every once in a while. They are priced fairly - no complaints here. The restaurant itself was very clean. There is a pot of fresh green tea on the table when you're seated and they refill as needed. Overall a very good first experience of Korean a-la-carte. Will definitely recommend and return.

This is our to go Korean restaurant in sauga. We come here very often and we are always happy and satisfied with the food. The service is pretty good compare to most asian restaurants. I love their "special" menu and it is different from time to time. You can actually save some money from ordering there. Korean restaurants are known for their side dishes. Song Cook's may not have the best varieties, however their main courses (noodles, soups, bbq...ect) are pretty amazing. I recommend this place and we will definitely come back!

After bringing our food, she disappeared completely and never once checked on us. We ran out of water and spent about 15 minutes trying to find someone. When we finally got another server's attention, we asked for more water and a few additional side dishes since the portions were so small. He only brought one small dish and never returned. Throughout our meal, not a single staff member asked how everything was or if we needed anything. When we left, the person at the front didn't even acknowledge us or say goodbye. What was even more noticeable was that the other tables around us weren't receiving much attention either, so it didn't appear to be an isolated incident. We work in the service industry ourselves and are usually very generous tippers because we understand how demanding the job can be. Great service goes a long way, but unfortunately this restaurant completely missed the mark. There are plenty of excellent Korean restaurants with friendlier service, more reasonable prices, and much more generous side dishes. Sadly, this won't be a place we'll return to.

Our side dishes came with our food and it wasn't too spectacular. The food was good and hot, but I've had better Korean food. Overall, I feel this place is good, but pricer end. Our 4 dishes with 10% cash discount was $85 before tip. Just the japchae alone is $27.99! Anyways, I think I would try other restaurants if I am in this area due to prices and service.

Their cuts of meat are just so good, as well as the sides. We always order multiple rounds of the pickled cucumber and get several refills on the corn and kimchi. The tofu stew that comes with the set is also super comforting and delicious. Don't skip this! Oh it's also annoying that rice is $3 BUT to be fair, they pack this and one bowl is enough for me. I like that it's not plain white rice either. I pretty much tried every beef option but can't remember them all. However on my most recent visit, we ordered: BEEF TENDERLOIN BEEF RIB FINGER MEAT BEEF BONELESS SHORT RIB BEEF SHORT PLATE My favourite was defs the boneless short rib. I loved the marbling on it and it was easy to eat. The tenderloin took FOREVER to cook, but once cooked, it was tender and meaty. Exactly as described. I wouldn't order the short plate again, as it was a little too fatty. All of this including the rice came up to $131 and split between 3 people it was $43 with tax. So not bad at all and it ends up being around the same price as any AYCE bbq spot. Thats why I don't mind coming here cuz of the quality and sides. Service is also super friendly and they come around often asking if you need anything else. I made resos for a Saturday at 12:30 but it wasn't really needed because the place was only about 1/5 full. Even when we left at 2:30 it wasn't packed.

There are several mispelled words and other issues with spacing and formatting printed in the menu which for me personally gives off a bad initial impression and lowers the overall vibe of the dining establishment. The food and service does make up for it a little bit. Our waitress was quick to offer house tea early on after we have arrived. The complimentary kimchi and onion for each diner was also always welcome. As an appetizer, I enjoyed our order of small Boneless Fried Chicken flavored with Cheese *Sprinkle. (The other available flavors include Sweet & Sour, Soy Garlic, Honey, Spicy, Spicy *Honey) There were enough pieces of the chicken for sharing between our group of 5 people. Something else I appreciated was the authentic feel of the rice being served in a hot stone pot inside the wooden crates. My main order was menu item #1 Combination Soon Tofu (Beef, Shrimp, Mussel) + Hot Stone Pot Rice. I find the order OK to good. There was too much going on in the soup to find any unifying or distinctive taste. If I have to order again, I would choose a different soup dish sticking to 1 main topping instead of 3. Another main dish I have gotten to sample was menu item #12 Pork Bone Soup. I wouldn't rank it among the best Korean Pork Bone Soups (Gamjatang) I have tried. The meat could have used more time cooking as it was not as tender as I normally expect for this dish. Lastly, I find the overall theming of the place lacking. Considering the restaurant's name, I expected them to specialize with tofu dishes or at least to have a signature menu item having tofu as the main ingredient. The tofu I did have included in my dish was nothing special.

My dining companion ate the soup for which the place is known and he was pretty much blown away, so it's a safe bet to say I'll be returning if only to try that for myself.

I've never had a truly bad food/service experience here and in a city where everything is closed by 11 pm, I like that I can always rely on this place for a midnight craving (it's open till 2 am). I think I go back here time and again because this place fills a void in the types of restaurants available in the city. There aren't many late-night sit-down Korean restaurants so I inevitably find myself here. The corn cheese is something I get every time I go here. I really enjoy the salty and sweet combination!
