    Lunch - Hwaemul yaki-udon, kimchi jjigae and panchan - kkagdugi, miyuk and kongnamul (take out)
    Deb P.

    Authentic, 100% Korean food straight out of Halmonim's kitchen. It's a wee place, consider yourself lucky if you get a seat/table. It's like being in Jeolla-do all over again with the ajumonis and ajossis. Great food. QUIET and Zen atmosphere.

    Very hidden gem if you're looking for a good Korean spot, super affordable and so yummy. I was a little sad they didn't have jjamppong when I went, but I ended up getting the soft tofu soup, and my boyfriend ordered the gamjatang. Honestly, no regrets because both were delicious. They came out boiling hot, which was perfect on a snowy winter day and made everything extra comforting and cozy. It's a true mom and pop shop, run by a couple, and the place is super small with only about five tables. Even so, they were incredibly kind, welcoming, and efficient. The food was hearty, flavorful, and felt very home-style. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    To call this place tiny is an understatement of the century! There are literally 4 tables crammed into 400 sf of space and it is also dark inside, which really did not help. We snagged the last available table and ordered donkatsu and bibimbap to share. The banchans were good and our food came out pretty quickly. The side salad on the donkatsu platter was really good with a tangy vinaigrette. The donkatsu was thin, but crispy and the sauce that came on top were just ok. We should have asked for the sauce on the side, but that's our fault. Bibimbap was well prepared with actual namul (cooked veg) and came with gochujang sauce in a squeeze bottle. But the flavour of the bibimbap was so underwhelming no matter how much extra gochujang we added after the initial mixing. The complimentary soup that came looked like miso, but had a weird flavour that I could not put my finger on. Our overall experience here was just ok here, but I may give them another try next time I am in the area.

    This is a true hole in the wall and we would never have found it if not for online reviews. This small family run restaurant is in an industrial area and you definitely have to seek it out on purpose. The decor nothing to speak of, with four small tables and one large people available for dine in. At peak meal hours, there will be a wait or you will have to share a table with strangers. However, the service is prompt and hard-working, so all this just adds to each charm. My partner ordered the bimbimbap and I got the cold arrow root noodles. Both were of excellent quality and delicious. I really like my noodles, as the broth was icy, refreshing, perfectly balanced. I've been craving this dish and I was completely satisfied. Will definitely be back for more menu items!

    Small mom and popcorn shop. Very few seating so be sure to come early before the rush. Ordered the fried seafood udon and tofu soup. Food was decent for the price. The restaurant needs a little renovation though imo.

    This Korean restaurant is a hidden gem that's worth the effort to find. It's a place where you can truly experience the flavours of Korea. They offer an authentic Korean menu, and the food was incredible. It felt homemade, providing comfort with every bite. My wife and I ordered kamjatang (pork bone soup) and bibimbap. The pork bone soup had a creamy and rich flavour, with a depth of taste that was simply amazing. It wasn't too spicy, just perfect! The bibimbap was also delicious, but the homemade gochujang truly elevated it to new heights. I was thoroughly impressed with the food! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place. It's evident from the Korean customers who dine here that it's amazing. The seating capacity is limited, probably less than 30.

    Thin sliced beef soup!

    This hole in the wall/ mom and pops Korean restaurant in the industrial area. Menu was small but the food was excellent. Came here due to Yelp recommendation. This place did not disappoint. Service was timely even though she was by herself. The place seats 20 good thing we were the first customers. The food came out bubbly hot and it stays hot while eating. Decent prices as well. I Highly recommend this place.

    Must try hidden spot if you're looking for homemade Korean food. The place is located in a pretty hidden industrial area in North York but still somewhat easy to navigate. Pork Bone Soup (Gamjatang): The soup has lots of flavour and has a home-like feel. The portions are quite big compared to other places I've been, good for around 2 meals. Spicy Beef Soup (Yukgaejang): I never had this soup before, so I decided to give it a try. Highly recommend if you prefer beef and like a more spicy kick. The menu is all quite reasonably priced, with soups being around $14 after tax, which is a steal given their big portions! It's definitely one of my favourite spots to go to for cheap eats. The place is a bit of a "hole in a wall" type of place, but there's still some seating if you want to dine-in with small groups. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area.

    Mom 'n pop in industrial area, very small inside.

    Tip: They have lunch specials - just under $13!!! It wasn't specified that it was only during the weekday, so I'm pretty sure it's available everyday. The definition of tiny, hole-in-the-wall, mom 'n pop shop, hidden in a super industrial area! I was in the area, love Korean food, so I honed in on Dolsoe. Menu is concise and traditional - there's no cheese stuff! Interior is pretty small with a handful of mismatched tables/chairs. When I arrived, it was full of middle aged Korean people, so these were all good signs for me! The pricing was also pre-COVID, but shh...I hope the owner doesn't read this and change them. Average was just under $13 for all the Korean staples like Pork Bone, Spicy Beef, Soft Tofu Soup, & Bibimbap. The young girl who was busy serving the larger table took some time to take my order, but she did acknowledge me. As soon as she took my order, she told me that it would take 15-20mins, so I just went to my car to attend some business. My PBS was delicious! Seasoning/ratio of meat vs soup was on-point. I really liked the flavour as other places, PBS can be too salty, have too much ginger/bean sprouts, etc, but this place was just right. Meat didn't taste cheap quality. I didn't have the Bibimbap, but apparently, it was very good with good amount of meat, quality ingredients. BONUS: They even included 3 sides/miso soup in the takeout which is pretty unheard of!

    Donkatsu

    So yum. Gamja tang was so delicious and other menu was also great. No expatiation but was very satisfied.

    Amazing. Bibimbap and gamjatang were both really good. The side dishes too. It's a small unassuming place but the food is very good.

    Hongdae is a family-owned restaurant serving classic Korean meals rather than Korean BBQ. What…read moreimpressed me most was how balanced everything tasted. I often find Korean food too salty or spicy, but the dishes here were flavorful without being overwhelming. The portions were generous. My pork bone soup was not too spicy, and the pork spine had plenty of meat. The ginseng chicken soup included a whole spring chicken, the shrimp fried rice had lots of shrimp, and the seafood pancake contained more filling than batter. The dining room is spacious and comfortable, and even the washroom was very clean. It is a solid choice in Richmond Hill for a family dinner or a meetup with friends.

I saw this place had good reviews and wanted to try it since we were out this end. We ordered sweet and sour pork, black bean noodles, beef stew and seafood pancake. The staff was quite busy and sometimes hard to get their attention, our waiter was writing our order on napkins. Did they run out of notepads? Our side dishes came with our food and it wasn't too spectacular. The food was good and hot, but I've had better Korean food. Overall, I feel this place is good, but pricer end. Our 4 dishes with 10% cash discount was $85 before tip. Just the japchae alone is $27.99! Anyways, I think I would try other restaurants if I am in this area due to prices and service.

Definitely not my first time here as I've come with family or friends over the past 15+ years, every time, leaving very satisfied. Made sure to arrive for opening time to get a table right away since based on past experience, the wait can take some time, especially for dinner or on the weekends. Of course, had to order my two favourite menu items: 물냉면 - Mool naengmyun (Cold Noodles) and 김치찜 - Kimchi jjim (Braised Kimchi with Pork Belly). Have tried their other dishes in the past, which are pretty standard, but always find myself still gravitating back to these two. The slushy broth is always so tasty and refreshing! They also bring out a good variety of 반찬 - banchan (side dishes). Parking was easy to find this time since we got there early, but sometimes you have to circle around a few times or park at a neighbouring plaza and walk over. Hoping they reopen somewhere else soon!

    This is thE place for AUTHENTIC Korean food…read more No "cheese rings", "tteokboki in rosé sauce", or "cheese snow" here! This is REAL Korean food. It was packed with the usual high-decibel level. This food is the closest taste-wise (spice levels) to Korean food which we have enjoyed in South Jeolla Province in Korea. I devoured a lovely doenjang jjigae (fermented soybean stew). Perfectly seasoned. Sooo satisfying. Spouse had the yukkaejjang (shredded spicy beef soup with lots of gochugaru - chili flakes). Both ttukbegae bowls came with purple rice and banchan. DIVINE. Service was efficient. Polite. PRO-TIP:.They've opened a store directly next door which sells house made banchan, Korean sausage (chapsal sundae) and other prepared dishes.

    Decided to have lunch here on a Saturday afternoon and I was very pleased!…read more The quality of the meats were amazing - they were tender and very flavourful. The banchan were very good and we were able to get refills on them which is always a plus when going to KBBQ. The dining experience is interactive, with staff providing grilling assistance to ensure guests cook their meats properly. The ambiance is stylish and modern, making it a great spot for date nights and group dining. Also a plus is they do validate parking if you've parked in the garage! I highly recommend trying this restaurant out if you're a KBBQ lover. Definitely will be coming back!

    High quality, great service, pricey, but worth the dime!…read more A premium Korean bbq spot that is worth the hype and price tag. It's dry aged meats so you can expect the pricing to be higher than other Korean bbq's. The service was top notch with servers coming to check in with us throughout our meal. The food was amazing here and the quality of their meats is definitely the highlight. Here's what we got: Yukhoe (raw beef tartare) 5/5 - So fresh, so delicious and a must get appetizer. Pairs perfectly with the sweet pear slices and delicious crisps. Cold Noodle Soup 5/5 - Chewy noodles with a cold broth that is the perfect carb and contrast to the bbq meats. Refreshing and delicious. Heritage No Name 5/5 - Such bang for buck in my opinion. $25 for 240g of this premium heritage pork. When cooked, there was no porky flavour at all, it got so brown when cooked that it almost looked like beef. A must get! Marinated bone-in short rib 5/5 - This was so good and was one thick piece of short rib. My favourite meat of the night for sure. Like all Korean bbqs, this spot also serves a variety of banchans and kbbq comes with a complimentary soup that I thought was the best compd soup ever (compared to all other kbbq places). I loved this restaurant and can't wait to be back! A must try that is worth all the hype.

    A comforting brunch at Bonjuk Canada - perfect when you're not feeling 100%…read more My partner and I finally sat down for a proper brunch at Bonjuk this afternoon, and it was exactly the kind of meal we needed. I've been dealing with some dental pain, and my partner is just getting over a nasty cold, so we wanted something gentle, nourishing, and easy on the body - not a heavy, greasy brunch. Bonjuk's whole vibe of "comfort food with heart" really delivered. We'd only done takeout before, so this was our first time dining in. The space is small but really welcoming - warm lighting, clean and simple decor, and comfortable seating that makes you want to slow down and relax. It's not a huge place, so there aren't tons of indoor seats, but that also gives it a cozy, intimate feel. Service was friendly and low‑pressure, which we appreciated when we were both feeling a bit under the weather. We ordered the Chicken Porridge ($23) and the Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap ($24), both for dine‑in (prices don't include tax and tip). The chicken porridge was savoury, and soothing, with a rich broth that felt healing without being heavy. It was easy to eat with my sore teeth and left me feeling comforted, not stuffed. The beef bulgogi bibimbap was a nice contrast - colourful, fresh, and full of flavour. The bulgogi was sweet, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the mix of veggies and egg made it feel like a balanced, healthy meal. It's definitely a step up from typical brunch fare if you're looking for something lighter but still satisfying. One thing that really stood out was their baby porridge menu. It's such a thoughtful touch - separate, gentle, low‑salt options for little ones. As someone who's seen new parents struggle to find safe, easy meals out, this felt genuinely helpful and kind. It's easy to see why their marketing feels like they actually care about making food that's good for people, not just trendy. If you're looking for the best value, I'd say go for takeaway. We noticed a steady stream of takeout orders, and the overall costs are slightly lower that way, especially when there are discounts offered by different order platform. Overall, Bonjuk Canada is a good spot when you want something comforting, healthy, and easy on the stomach - whether you're recovering from illness, have dental issues, or just want a more mindful brunch.
