Two things I liked and will bring me back are: they are celiac friendly, and, have a 1 to 10 scale for the level of spice you want to have. We are are an extended family with some odd food allergies and food intolerances, so finding a restaurant that makes everyone happy is gold. I did spice level 2. I would try 4 the next time, as my dish ended up being good, but a bit bland. It was the XO dish. The person who had the best experience ordered the Pad Thai, level 10 spice. They found their meal to be perfect. I will note he has a very high heat tolerance. I had some Sashimi to start, and it was perfectly prepared. Decor is brown/black and gold with lots of windows. It's casual, but in a nice way. Overall everyone was happy and we will return.

Ambience is nice, it's pretty inside and on the darker side. The chairs/furniture can use an upgrade. The food unfortunately has not been the same. All the sauces have a similar taste. The pad Thai sauce was so thick and had way too much of it :( Same with the black bean. My daughter ordered a second round of avocado rolls, and it came out in less than a minute and was warm :/ It's heartbreaking because I truly appreciate all the waitresses hard work however I will not be going back.

I had lunch here today and overall the food was excellent, service was nice and ultra fast, but…read moreportions were tiny! I've been meaning to check out Raon Kitchen for several years now, but it's in an industrial wasteland and a part of town that I'm not too often in. As luck would have it, I was about 3km away today running errands and so I decided to pop by. It was a bit after 1pm (on a Wednesday) so the lunch rush was over. I parked in one of the 2 parking spots out front that are reserved for Raon Kitchen customers (there's a big parking lot, with lots of businesses, but most spots seem to be reserved for certain businesses only. All unmarked spots were taken. The parking lot was pretty full). I went in and was immediately greeted. I ordered the Beef Bibimbap ($9.73) and paid. I had enough time to sit down and undo my coat and my food was pretty much ready! The beef bibimbap consisted of purple rice, cabbage, carrots, spinach, julienned omelet, wood ear mushrooms, and bulgogi beef (it usually comes with kimchi, but I asked them to omit it). The food itself was delicious. I love wood ear mushrooms! I liked how the different flavours came together. The beef was tender and lean. I added a bit of hot sauce which gave it a little spicy kick. The only thing is that the portion was tiny. With taxes, I paid $10.99 (and that was just the bibimbap, no drink or anything else), and for an $11 lunch, I expected to not still be hungry afterwards. I'm 5'0" and 102 lbs. I was still really hungry afterwards! :( The place is really small, industrial-looking, and more suited for takeout. I believe that they are the central kitchen for their other locations (a food cart on Bank St. and a restaurant on Laurier Ave. West). There are 2 tables, 1 that seats 2 and the other that seats 4, then there are 2 seats facing out the window (bar seating), which is where I sat, that's it for seating. Staff were friendly and service was really quick. This place would be great for a quick lunch if you work in the area and either have a really small appetite or don't mind shelling out $22 for lunch and get 2 orders :)

Great start so far. Ordered bibimbap with spicy pork and mandoo. Both excellent. Can't wait to see…read moretheir menu expand. Hopefully soon. Also picked up a jar of kimchi and some spicy Gochujang sauce.

The Moody Foody - Seafood Boil or Seafood *Spoil*?…read more I've always loved coming here to satisfy my seafood boil cravings, but after my last visit... I'm *shook*. Ordered a snow crab and shrimp bag for both myself and my fiancé, and right away, the crab was way too salty. No big deal, right? Wrong. Because I'm pretty sure I ate a bad one--cue five *brutal* days of food poisoning. Now, I *want* to give this place another shot, but honestly? I'm terrified. When seafood is fresh, it's unbeatable, but when it's off... well, I don't need another horror story. Hoping this was just a one-off, but they *really* need to step up their quality control. Proceed with caution, seafood lovers.

They have a good selection and apps and also noodles which are more individual meal portions but we decided to share and try everything. On Tuesdays, they have yakitori and I would love to come back to try that. The scallop crudo was lightly seasoned and fresh. I feel like it could have used a bit more citrus but overall it was good! The Korean fried chicken wings/drums were saucy, with something that tasted like a gochujang based sauce, as well as a ranch with dill. I didn't really taste the miso in the ranch too much, but I did enjoy the flavour profile. We also had the chicken karaage, which was lightly breaded and fried, and paired with a mayo. It was ok but a little plain. Next, we had the dan dan noodles. Dan dan noodles are traditionally very chewy have a nice bite to them but these noodles are a bit on the softer side. The flavour profile was good though. Lastly, we had the beast ramen. The smoked pork belly was nice and crisp and the soft boiled egg was nicely cooked. The noodles seem to be the same ones used in the dan dan noodles. It was enjoyable but the broth wasn't exactly ramen broth that I am used to. I would say that overall it was enjoyable, and prices were reasonable. Service was great. But there is definitely some room for improvement on the dishes. I would consider this more Asian fusion than a noodle bar.

The menu looked pretty inviting and had a good mix of meat and vegetarian dishes so we headed over. To say that I was surprised is an understatement.

The service was top notch as well and the prices were more than fair. I wish I could give these guys 4.5 our of 5. Really good. We will be back for sure.

The staff were quite rude and grunted each time we asked them for something. My mom was afraid to ask them for extra napkins because they were so unpleasant. Part way through our meal, the staff decided to eat lunch as well. It's fine that they have their meals in the dining area, however, they completely ignored the customers. Regarding my mom needing extra napkins. She ended up getting up and getting it herself. A couple came in to dine and were waiting at the entrance for a long time for someone to greet them. They finally were seated but then no one came to get their order because they were having their lunch a few tables down. Like I said, they completely ignore the customers. So the couple (who sat at the table across from us) unfortunately got up and left. The food was decent. We ordered 9 dishes and they all were good. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any photos. However, you can get just as good food at other places with much better service. I do not recommend this place due to poor service.
