You walk up a goldcolored hallway and 2 flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. The host stand is farther inside.....which will make sense once you are physically in the space. The workers were very friendly and funny. I had a great time bantering with them. My friend from 8th grade and I reunited for the first time in 21 years over dinner. This was one of her picks, and I am deeply grateful she chose it. Appetizers: Rock Shrimp, Fatty Tuna Nigiri, Crispy Rice Tuna Entrée: Jidori Chicken Drinks: Sangria, Champagne Dessert: Yuzu Citrus The rock shrimp was delicious. We loved the sauce it was tossed in. My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart. They also put a little "Reunited" note on the dessert plate, which we both thought was such a sweet touch. Definitely pricey, but definitely worth it. Recommended it to my Toronto friends, I really want to go back and get that king crab rice.

The service was excellent--well worth the tip! P4 Sashimi Platter A beautiful platter featuring five different types of sashimi. The high visual appeal is definitely a highlight. P2,5 Nezo9 This is a chef's secret dish--nine compartments filled with a surprise selection of fresh ingredients based on what's available that day. It's unique and definitely worth trying. P6 Lamp Chops The lamb chops were perfectly tender, and cooked medium, they were absolutely spot-on. P3,7 A5 Wagyu Caviar Roll A5 wagyu beef sushi topped with caviar--this was such a treat! The refreshing yuzu pepper really cut through the richness of the beef, balancing the flavors beautifully. P4 Ribeye The charcoal-grilled ribeye was delicious, accompanied by three sauces that each complemented the dish perfectly. Cooked medium, it was just the right balance of juicy and tender

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides. There was 3 different kimchi, braised potatoes and 2 others that I'm not sure what they are, but they were delicious. My favourite was the potatoes and kimchi! Overall this is an amazing place to bring those close to you for delicious korean food!

TLDR - Affordably priced. Good portion. Reasonable taste…read more There were so many Korean restaurants on Bathhurst and Bloor that were highly ranked on Yelp that we decided to choose one based on the second most reliable pointer - there were many Koreans dining inside. Hence we entered Jin Dai Lae. Good decision (yes, I am patting my back). Entree pricing was $3 to $4 lower than Markham/Richmond Hill. Portion was so big that you would be full, and might have to doggy bag. Most importantly, food tasted good. Short ribs stew had many pieces of beef. Squids hot plate was saucy. It wasn't too spicy, so it was good for me (menu didn't have a chilli sign either). For people who like it hot, you can ask for some chilli sauce.

The booths are quite private and the ambience is relaxed and downscaled. No pretentiousness here! Our server,MJ, was bubbly, fun, and attentive. We ordered beef short ribs and beef tenderloin. There were multiple sides that came with dinner. See pictures. The food was amazing. We finished absolutely everything. I must say that the service is speedy and it's not a wining/dining experience. They don't have desserts. It's great for a preconcert dinner though. We will be back.

Staff were nice and attentive. It was quiet but the restaurant picked up closer to noon.

Korean Grill House chain has existed for a long time. I would recommend going for the weekday lunch…read morespecial which is $8 and includes a bento box (protein choice of chicken/pork/beef +$2), miso soup, and pop. Note that recently the pop has been replaced by "free jasmine tea", which is what they normally served anyways even with the pop. It was a better deal when the pop was included! Service is a little slow as they are normally short staffed. For the lunch special, they automatically add a service charge on the bill. I am not sure if they do it for the all-you-can-eat option but I would assume so.

The portion size is large and came with a free miso soup. I did order a side of kimchi however it seems the shopkeep forgot to include it when she handed me my takeout bag. The side of kimchi is $1.75. As I only found out after I got home, there was nothing I could do at that point. The quality of the food itself was good but I think for the price there may be better Korean eats more north in the city. If you are by the harbour and craving Korean, this restaurant has you covered. Rating is lower due to missing kimchi :(

The chicken was extra crispy and the sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and mild spice. The octopus balls were a great small appetizer along with the chicken.

We ordered the spicy squid with rice and combination soon tofu with hot stone pot rice. The spicy squid was yummy, flavorful, and hit the spot. The soon tofu was a bit on the bland side compared with the Korean tofu soups I'm used to in the L.A. area. They include banchan with the food. There was kimchi, bean sprouts, and beans. Service was attentive and very friendly. The restaurant is on the smaller side, maybe 10 or so tables.

Love this location of the popular Korean BBQ chain!…read more Super friendly service from all members of staff; clean and spacious restaurant to fit all group sizes. We got the pork belly and the beef short rib plus drinks and steamed rice. All the side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed salad, corn cheese, egg, lettuce, garlic, potato salad, etc.) are refillable except the complimentary soup and the glass noodles. It's a great place to go if you are hungry! The meat portions are very reasonable and more than enough, I recommend you go with a group and order 1-2 portions of meat per person, so you can share and try the different cuts of meat. Washrooms downstairs, inaccessible.
