Tasty Korea is definitely one of my favourite places to eat. All this time I had been driving all the way to Korea town, while this gem has been here all this time. Delicious authentic food. The service was efficient, warm and friendly. I felt right at home. My friend and I had stopped by and they were really nice and the ambiance was amazing. From the lighting to the decorations to the Korean music. After it was just my friend and I left they played Kpop demon hunters music (were teenagers) and we felt so happy and were having a great time. We left stuffed and in high spirits each only paying $10.12 for our split dukbokki. read more

Got around to a neighbour spot. Enjoyed the beef teriyaki (some parts that could definitely be cut off (fat/stringy). Challenge was $18.50 for a relatively small dinner.... What's next!? Hungry again 3!hrs later :) read more

Tasty Korea - a variety of birds painted on a refrigerator - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Terrible and scary service since the Owner's son took over. I went a number of times when the mom was there. she was so sweet. I went recently and the son was in a rush to take our order and was very annoyed when we asked a question. While we were there, he actually got in a verbal altercation with 2 separate customers who didn't like his attitude. It was so bad they got up and left in the middle of him taking their order and then he followed the 2 ladies outside and insinuated that he would fight them. The 2nd customer was a women on her own and he did a similar thing. I was really shocked and would have left if I wasn't already eating. I can't believe the behaviour. The restaurant wasn't even busy for him to be stressed. The food is expensive, but I supported them because of the mom, but I definitely WON'T be returning read more

This place was a total lucky find! I was in the Etobicoke area for a sailing regatta (drove up from Rochester, NY), and after setting up our boat at the Etobicoke Yacht Club and doing a test sail, my skipper and I wanted a place to eat for dinner. One of the other sailors suggested we just drive down Lake Shore until we got to this strip with small local restaurants, park, get out, walk around and see if anything struck our fancy. So that's what we did! As we drove up and down the road there were a bunch of places to choose from and we were happy to see a wide range of small, ethnic restaurants like Mexican, Japanese, Greek, Indian and a few others. Then we saw the sign for Tasty Korea. I love Korean food, so quickly looked it up on Yelp. It seemed like it was possibly just a take-away place, but I convinced my skipper we should check it out. We parked on the street (there was plenty) and went in and were greeted by the very friendly owner (I think), who showed us the menu, told us her specials and confirmed we could dine in. I immediately loved the homey feel of the place with every inch filled with plants and art, colorful furniture, and lots of teas, herbs and spices. And we were the only people in there at that hour (around 6 pm), so not only did we have the place to ourselves, we had the attention of the owner as well. I ordered the beef bibimbab on the recommendation of the owner, and my skipper got the pork and tofu kimchi stew. Both dishes were delicious. Freshly prepared while we watched, very good portion size, and very reasonably priced for the freshness and the experience. My bibimbab had meat which was seasoned like bulgogi, plus pickled mushrooms, carrots, cucumbers, fresh pea shoots which she picked from a plant right in the place, and a sunny-side up fried egg with a nice dark orange yolk. It was served with a pepper paste/sauce that was also really good. My skipper's stew had lots of big pieces of pork and a rich flavorful broth. It was bubbling like crazy when it arrived to the table and he had to wait a good 5 minutes til it cooled off enough to eat. It was served with a side of rice, plus a couple other items including what looked like a marinated or cured boiled egg and dried seaweed 'crackers'. In addition he had the iced coffee and I had iced tea. The owner actually brought the dry tea leaves to the table so I could smell them (amazing) before she made the tea and I loved that! And, she had dairy free options for 'cream' too. This place does not serve the banchan (small plates) like other places; it is focused on a few dishes done well. There are also lots of take away options and prepared foods in large coolers. The owner is very conversational and willing to make things to your preference, and she can also make recommendations if there is something you are looking for or not sure about. I highly recommend this place and I will try to visit again next time I am in the area! read more

Our food was delicious and the flavors were very authentic Korean. The kimchee made by the chef was his grandmothers recipe from Korea, and it was excellent. If I lived closer, this would be my go to Korean restaurant! read more

I came in yesterday to get beef Kimbap (Korean roll)and it was phenomenal. Big portion and quick service too! My friend and I shared the whole thing and we were both satisfied. I will definitely be coming more often to get some more Kimbap and to try out their other menu items. Also, the service was nice. I already knew what I wanted, but since I couldn't find it, one of the workers helped me find it. So excited that I found this place! I wish them continued success! Unfortunately, I have no pictures because we ate it before I remembered that I wanted to give a review. But if you get the beef kimbap (Korean roll) you won't be disappointed! read more

Tasty Korea disappointed with its meager portions, leaving diners hungry. The owner's rude demeanor overshadowed any attempt at customer service, as requests were met with resistance or outright refusal. A disappointing dining experience overall. read more

Super fresh salmon and avocado sushi and the tenderest beef in Japchae. The folks were kind, and funny. You get a discount if you use cash, and more if over $30. Walked in for take out and waited outside. It works! read more

Unique tea / ceramic shop / Korean food joint on a gentrifying area of Lake Shore! As you watch people walk by, it's an interesting slice of life. Upon entering, I told the owner that I was looking for something to eat and she handed me a simple menu. The is a mishmash of furniture and other items in the store including deep freezers, shelves with Asian ceramics, and even a piano. ***Some item menus weren't available, so it may depend on the day you visit!*** We ordered 2 items: Kimbap ($5.50) & Beef Stew ($10.50). Out of the 2 items, the Kimbap was the star! Kimbap came with sides, including Korean glass noodles and kimchi. Kimbap was freshly made! As far as I'm concerned, this is a must-order! 5/5 Beef Stew, on the other hand, came out piping hot, salty, & quite spicy. (Definitely a more than just medium spicy!) There seemed to be more veg (kimchi, onions) than small slices of meat. I also had to pick out some pieces of fat. Not sure if this was Yukgaejang, but the beef was in small slices, not shredded. 2.5-3/5 If I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop by and pick up a Kimbab and perhaps try another kind of stew - asking if it can be less spicy/salty. read more

I was looking for potential lunch spots for when I don't have time to commute home between classes and I stumbled upon this place. It's super hard to find, as it's nestled in among all the other businesses lining Lakeshore, but I'm so glad I ended up going. It's small, so maybe not the best if you want a secluded spot to eat or plan to get some Korean food with a large group. The ambiance is that of the owner's home. You can see the ingredients and all the cute little plants and decorations around the restaurant, and you can watch your food being made. The menu is simple, and covers at least one of the staples you might crave when you're in the mood for Korean. I tried Gimbap for the first time and it was just as good as I imagined. The ingredients were fresh and it's clear that the woman who served us knows how to cook and loves doing so. She was extremely kind and added to the comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely be back! read more

Tasty Korea - Vegetable Gimbab - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went back here many times more and will update my reviews again. Never get disappointed with this place. I will very miss the owner and her food when i graduate from Humber. I love her food, very quality and ask u for how was the food. But i think she doesnt need to ask me about it, bc i also enjoy her food and content with it haha. Even her menu still like that, not too much, but i still not get bored of it. For me, this is the key to help her food get the balance of quality. She invests a lot for her food, i feel like she gives all her love in them. Not only me, an Asian girl, my friends from Western also love it. Pork bones soup, kim chi soup or beef soup, i love all!! Dont be shy to ask her for hot sauce to make tasty, some kimchi for banchan, because she is very generous, like ur mom, never say no to feed u, trust me! read more

My favorite hidden gem in this neighborhood! I always a yum very authentic Korean meal here!

Really great home cooked Korean food. They make all of their kimchi in house and you can taste the difference.

The menu is small but everything is freshly cooked and delicious. The kimchi fried rice is fresh and spicy, but not overwhelming. The Chicken gangjyng..amazing. It is crispy but not greasy and the spicy sauce..I want to bottle it! I have also had their dumpling, bibimbab, janchar and tubular shushing. There has not been a dish we have not enjoyed. read more

Horrible customers service, app error they Took my money and I got no food in the process..rather than helping me women started to yell at me saying she has nothing to do with the delivery service. No matter how bad the food has been on every restaurant I've been to never gave a bad review until now. This is just a warning to others. I literally did a 12 hour shift and am a frontline worker and this is the things I have to deal with. Never again. read more
