    Spicy and not-spicy beef ramen
    Shabbir S.

    It's a cozy and clean family restaurant. Quite traditional. The inside and decorations has loving family touch. We had Beef and veggie ramen (spicy and not-so-spicy both). My wife loved it. Good service. Parking is available in the private lot in front of the restaurant.

    We have driven by this place so many times but finally decided to try it for the first time this past weekend. We didn't have high expectations because we haven't had good Korean food in Mississauga. However, we were very surprised at how good all the food was. It's very comparable to the korean restaurants in North York. The service is pretty decent too & the food came really quick. Each table has their own tablet to send in our order. The restaurant itself is pretty old looking but it was very cosy.

    April 2/2022: This is a very simple Mom & Pop run family restaurant. The place itself is small, maybe seats 30 ppl but it was clean. A very large menu considering the place itself. The food was very good but not off the charts good. Great variety as well. We had the Fried Chicken. Good tasting but little actual meat on the chicken itself. The glass noodles were tasty as was the variety of small tastings they supplied. The highlight of the meal was the hot beef. It's was my best dish. I wouldn't come back again as the dishes didn't really impact. I do recommend that you try this place, however.

    A small business run by lovely owners! Portions have gotten smaller for some dishes and the ginseng chicken soup no longer has ginseng anymore. But there banchans, leek seafood pancake and Kalbi Tang are all still great! Happy to support a local mom & pop shop.

    One of my favourite Korean restaurants in this area. Family owned business, been around for a very long time. I love the bibimbap, and their dumplings amongst other things.

    Leak seafood pancake

    A good traditional mom and pop shop, the service is fine, the owners are nice, and the side kimchi dish are delicious!! Not sure if we can refill though, we didn't ask. A bit pricy ($16sth for the pancake, $13 for the soup which is okay and can't remember the price for the noodles) We enjoyed the pancake! It's crispy on the edge and the shrimp and squid are delicious. The soup is good but average good. We possibly won't drive there on purpose but next time if we're nearby and need some Asian food we'll revisit

    Anniversary special pricing
    Gray R.

    I've been purposely avoiding this place for the past few years because I couldn't shake the feeling of being wronged from my past experience - but, my mother wanted to come, and so I went. I had the pork bone soup since it was a chilly autumn day. They were doing their anniversary special so many dishes were about $2 off; the pork bone soup I had was $9. Portion size is good; there's a lot of rice so the meal is definitely enough for one person. The meat is tender and the soup has a more subtle flavour that my mother likes. The soup came out piping hot and all the side dishes were good. It all comes down to preference; I've tried this pork bone soup a couple times and while it's not bad by any measure I just prefer the stronger, sweeter type of broth that I've had elsewhere. The venue is clean and quiet; we were the only ones there, which was kind of weird on a Saturday afternoon. The type of service hasn't changed - to get it you have to ask for it. It's good if you prefer being left alone to chat with friends, but don't expect above-and-beyond customer service. Overall, decent, but I've had better PBS. Normally, their prices are a bit higher than other establishments in the vicinity, so now is a good time to try this restaurant.

    I didn't realized it went through a renovation until I saw it on a photo on Yelp. (I've tried it like 5 years ago.) So I went to check it out and surprisingly it was clean, spacious and welcoming. There's a small parking area in front of the place. There are six small side dishes which were good and I love the variety. The nutritious rice came with some yam which was a nice touch to it. However, the rice could be more chewy. The down side to it was that my soybean soup looked darker than I'm used to at other restaurants, so it ended up too salty to my liking. It was mostly tofu, onions And zucchini pieces. The tofu was not the silky type which I love how it can melt in your mouth. My partner got the pork bone soup and he was satisfied with his lunch. The potato could be cooked longer. Verdict: yes I would go back to try their other dishes.

    Good to know as I find many Korean restos quite salty!

    One of the "better" Korean restaurants in Mississauga! I don't like Owl, Sikgaek is pretty solid, and Buk Chang specialises in soon tofu, so limited menu. Not having been here in a few years, I gave it another chance due to a hankering for Korean, but not wanting to go to any of the places listed above. And you know what? Offerings are solid, esp for my cold weather staple, PSB! There was enough meat and purple rice w/ pieces of pumpkin accompanied it. Side dishes were also plentiful, with a good variety! Yes, it's a Ma 'n Pa, but don't let the location stop you!

    Went in for lunch a couple times. I found overall great spot to have variety Korean dishes. Portions are generous and friendly service from the owners.

    Free side (I asked to add kimchi)

    This really was a wow! Just wanted to pick up a bite after work and I came across this place. The spicy fried chicken was killer (I personally didn't find it spicy at all and would say the sauce is mild, but I imagine that's perfect for some). The chicken was so so yummy and paired so well with the cold pickled veggies. I will definitely be eating here again! Not to mention the very kind and friendly staff, it seems like a small family run business.

    Banchan
    Tania L.

    Had major cravings for Korean food, so decided to come here today to satisfy these feelings. They had the doors wide open when we went there, probably to air the area out. Since it was a little chilly today, we found it to be quite cold upon entry. Fortunately, we warmed up pretty quickly after eating. I was astonished to see that they offer Korean chicken ginseng soup for only $10.99, the same price as their seollangtang (beef bone broth). The soup was quite clear and light, and you can see the chicken oil floating on top. The serving size was decently large; it came with four sizeable pieces of chicken. Although there wasn't much of a ginseng flavour, there were two pieces each of red dates and onion, and quite a bit of black pepper bits at the bottom of the dolsot. The chicken was fall off the bone tender. The accompanying rice was very delicious, and pleasantly surprising! It came steaming hot in a silver pressure cooker (in fact, since they have an open kitchen, we were able to see how they cook all these pressure cookers individually), and was a lovely mix of glutinous rice, black beans, forbidden (black/purple) rice, and orange sweet potato. A great healthy choice! My parents also ordered a gamjatang, or pork bone soup, to share. It was decent, and like the chicken, the meat was very tender. The vertebrae ribs literally fell apart at the touch. I really loved the assortment of banchan provided. The waiter was also very attentive; he came over twice - once to ask whether we needed anything and whether everything was all right (we ended up asking for an extra serving of banchan), and another time to refill our tea. A great restaurant that we will definitely revisit!

    Pork bone soup
    Wendy L.

    Ordered items: Soft tofu soup - you get to add a meat which is nice since most soft tofu soups I've tried don't have that option Pork bone soup - flavourful, but the meat was a little hard to remove from the bones Overall, my favourite part is the rice with sweet potato, but nothing too special!

    Spicy Stir-Fried Squid and Pork Belly…read more I could hear the wok going absolutely crazy in the kitchen, so my expectations were high before the dish even arrived. It came out sizzling on the hot plate, with the oil still crackling. The pork belly was thick-cut but perfectly sized for one bite. The real surprise, though, was the squid. It had that firm, springy chew you get from grilled squid, but the flesh was also surprisingly thick and substantial. It felt like an indestructible little fighter that just wouldn't give up. Every bite turned into a tiny tug-of-war between my teeth and the squid, and I genuinely loved the texture. The shredded onion, zucchini, and carrot each added a different texture, with the zucchini especially helping cut through the richness. Almost every chopstickful had some meat plus two or three strips of vegetables. The ratio was pretty much perfect. It is on the expensive side, though. I checked Jindallae afterward and a similar dish there is around $22, making this one roughly 30% more expensive. A little disappointed that I didn't get the eggplant banchan I'd heard so much about. The side dishes I did get were simple and very home-style in their seasoning.

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 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.

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.
