Since this was the new restaurant I had never been to before, so I would like to try the beef soup as well. And my hubby wanted to have the seafood pancake. The food came fast one by one. I really loved their Apps, all little dishes, but they all Korean famous Appetizers. They were allowed to be refilled if customer ordered good enough dishes. The beef tofu soup was really small, not the traditional soup that we knew. And the seafood pancake was big enough, but too much flour and green onions. It was good amounted of seafood, if less flour and green onions would be much better. The service was ok. We were not really picky about it.

We ordered Ddeok galbi (grilled short rib patties), Ddeokbokki (rice cakes with sweet and spicy sauce), and Tangsuyuk (deep fried pork with sweet & sour sauce). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS! Portions were big and everyone was full and satisfied after the meal. :D We're definitely going to come back here - it will be our go-to place for Korean food!!!

Tteokbokki is C$13.95, Japchae C$12.95, veggie kimbap C$12.95, Bab chicken C$15.95 (7 pieces), they charge you $2 to get the spicy sauce added to the app fried chicken. C$65.31 / $41.55. Their entree Bab Spicy sauce chicken is C$37.95 or $28, that's highway robbery for fried chicken to me. Worse if it's not out of this world good. It's rather unsettling. The banchans: cucumber, bean sprouts, fish cake and kimchi. The kimchi is crunchy and fresh. The Bab chicken with the spicy sauce is crispy and sauce is good, meat was tender too. Some fully intact tendon that looked like a worm coming out of the meat. I am done eating the chicken. The japchae comes with bulgogi beef. Potato noddles are hard to chew down. The tteokbokki is okay, rice cakes a bit too soft for me. Sauce isn't bad, has good heat to it. Comes with two dumplings. The veggie kimbap is mostly rice, quite weak for $10 for a roll. The round metal chopsticks are rather challenging. I prefer the metal flatter ones or wood. Staff are attentive. Food comes out quickly,

We really enjoyed the food. Would definitely recommend getting the Korean fried chicken or getting one of their hotpot as their portions are huge. We also got their Tteok bokki (rice cakes), the sauce was really tasty but a lot of their rice cakes were cracked or broken. Staff was nice and food came out fairly quickly! Would definitely recommend checking them out.

I've not had the best experience getting meals from bakeries, and Cafe Cocoro continued that trend…read more Don't get me wrong: the place itself is great (clean, spacious, inviting; it's the type of place you can lounge in for hours), so plus points for that. It's the food that was just meh. Stopped by for lunch and got: - Korean Pancakes: Prepackaged, it still was pretty good (i.e., didn't just taste reheated). The dipping sauce accentuated the sweetness of the pancakes. - Bulgogi Bibimbap: Bulgogi was really bland and a tad dry, so had to put a lot of gochujang on the bibimbap. - Bulgogi Japchae: Agaìn, band and dry bulgogi. The japchae was good - soft and sweet. Also, generous serving that is shareable. - Mango Banana Smoothie: A bit lumpy, and more mango than banana. But great for a hot summer day. Maybe it's the bakery stuff we should have tried, because everyone is raving about this place. The meals were just ok.

Quarantine Day 3: I'm really a sucker for cafes with awesome drinks AND real food (although baked…read moregoods do well too). For lunch fare for 2, I ordered way too much food: 1. A medium-sized side order of kimchi 2. Korean pancake 3. Bulgogi bibimbap 4. Bulgogi japchae 5. Bagel with bacon, egg, lettuce, and tomato And of course, 6. A small matcha latte. I thought that the medium was a pretty good portion of kimchi. Probably enough for 3-4 people to share it as a side dish. The korean pancake was very yummy, especially when paired with the dipping sauce. I liked that both the bibimbap and japchae had a good amount of veggies. I found the bulgogi just a tiny bit dry. The bagel was panini pressed which was nice but it did toast up the lettuce which wilted it. The rest of the toppings were really good. The one thing I really didn't care for was the matcha latte. It was so sweet I didn't think I'd be able to finish it. The other thing is that it hardly tasted of matcha. The latte itself was pretty much white. That kind of told me that it wasn't mixed well and just didn't have any matcha in it. I'd skip this on my next UberEats order.

After one of my fav kfc spots closed this became a better replacement. The chicken is very well…read moremade and all the sauces are excellent. One of my complaints of many popular kfc establishments is that the sides are lacking - well not here. They have an array of sides and i am sure they are all excellent. Keeping their inclusion philosophy in mind they also have a vegetarian option for the non meat eaters. The atmosphere is decent i side with lots of places to take photos for those who like to have selfies. The food came at a reasonable time and overall very satisfied with this location. They do pay their employees well and discourage tipping, which is reflected in their slightly higher cost of food. Will revisit soon.

There are three big pieces of pork bone FULL of meat in the soup, the soup is perfectly seasoned, the fishcake udon has soooo much fishcake on top, and the soup base has so much umami I love both dishes very much.

I was starting to get really hangry and irritated after walking around the city all day. We started with Korean beer and shots of Jinro Is Back Soyu. It was a good idea. Overall the food was quite good. I recommend everyone to check this restaurant out for themselves. The Korean pancake with seafood and vegetables was huge and much crispier than the one I've tried before. My beef tartare bibimbap was perfect. Just thinking about it makes me want to have it right now. The sizzling hot plate with pork and squid also looked very impressive. It must have been delicious as well, because one of my companions ate the whole thing with no problem. The spicy shredded beef brisket stew/soup 'Yukgaejang' was something which i wouldn't survive, but my man finished everything to the last drop.

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.

Due to the weather, I decided to try: 1) Mool Naang Myun (buckwheat cold noodles with mixed veggie, beef and boiled egg in cold both) 2) Dolsot Bibimbap - Assorted veggie beef and egg on steamed rice in hot bowl 3) Seafood pancake I really enjoyed the cold noodles as it was quite authentic, the cold broth was really refreshing and came with yellow mustard sauce to be added in the broth. Its a must try in the summer months as its a seasonal item. The seafood pancake was also fantastic. In the pancakes, they gave generous amounts of seafood (cuttlefish, shrimp etc.) and was not over-fried. It had 10 pancake slices, which is perfect for group sizes of 3 to 4. They also serve Korean side dishes that can be refilled! I also enjoyed the service at this restaurant. Originally we were seated in a two two-seated table. However, when they noticed the food we order did not fit the table, they switched us to a four-seated table instead, allowing us to enjoy our meal! Overall, if you are in Stouffville, and craving Korean food, this spot is a must-try.

No one else was there that day except the front person helping us and people in the kitchen, no guests. He was friendly and did a little small talk, and said that they included an extra gochujang sauce for us to try (you get only one per bibimbap, but we did like dipping the kimbap in the soy sauce = not included). They make the soy sauce on site. We got Japchae, two types of bibimbap (one per person), and some kimbap for the kid. They are all tasty but I prefer my bibimbap with a little more flavour. This one, I only tasted that flavour when I added the gochujang sauce, but in other bibimbaps I like, the flavour is cooked into the toppings. The Japchae is good and I like that it doesn't taste strongly of garlic. It has wood ear mushroom and carrot and sesame. The kimbap was a bit more on the Bland side as well. We have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow. 9 items on menu and each meal is about $17-19 with tofu an extra $3 and bulgogi an extra $4. Friendly service though!
