Not as good as the last time we came. Food was good overall but service fell short somewhat…read more Came here with family. We all ordered our own individual dishes. I just had an Original Gimbap and a Vege Gimbap for myself. It was a hot summer's day so I just didn't feel like ordering hot food. Everyone else ordered hot food though. My daughter has been getting into Tonkatsu at Japanese restaurants for awhile now. So when she saw Chicken Katsu on the menu here, she decided to give that a try. It was just OK for her. No comparison to any of the pork Tonkatsu dishes that she's been having at Japanese restaurants. She still ate it all up though and it was a huge portion. Other dishes on the table included Seafood Noodles, Pork Kimchi Stew, Soft Tofu Stew, Fried Chicken, and Kimchi Fried Rice. My one gripe would be that they took a super long time bringing out my daughter's Chicken Katsu. Everyone else had their food for quite awhile but she sat waiting and waiting for her Chicken Katsu. When we asked about it, they said it was coming soon. But that's what they always say when you ask about something that's taking a long time to come, right? Wondering if they actually completely forgot about it and then put in a rush order at the kitchen when we brought it up.

Great little neighbourhood spot for Korean food at lunch…read more I stopped by with coworkers and this place is a solid 4/5. Favorite item was the pork belly with kimchi. It's over fire on a hotplate/pan with the meat all around and kimchi in the middle. Perfect with rice or on it's on. The Japchae had plenty of beef and veggies. The potato noodles weren't overcooked and was a great consistency. The seafood tofu soup was favorful with clams and mussels. The raw beef was too frozen and needed to sit out longer. However, the flavor was still good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. The service was excellent and attentive.

Overall, we had a great time here and will certainly return!

Our party of 4 visited on Valentines Day for brunch and received a very warm welcome. Unfortunately there were no real traditional brunch items offered, it was the standard lunch menu, but we were aware of this when we booked on open table. I don't think there is a bad table in the restaurant, i suppose the views from upstairs are more panoramic. Service was attentive and friendly, our meals came up quickly and all were tasty. Similar to a cactus club or earls, we found the food at Joey to be reasonably priced and a good value. A great choice for groups, small gatherings or solo eaters.

A rainy day called for soup for dinner. Close to our hotel…read more The restaurant was bright and airy. Plenty of tables for sitting. Tastefully decorated with Thai paintings. I ordered the Tom Ka soup. It is a coconut lemon grass soup. I added chicken to mine. It was full of thinly sliced chicken, onions, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and noodles. I ordered my soup mild. My husband ordered the Tom Yum medium heat level with shrimp as his protein. The medium was the perfect spice level for him. My daughter ordered Laksa soup with chicken and medium spice level. It was yummy. If we are ever in the area again, we will stop.

The laksa might have felt a tiny bit on the spicy side for me, but my tolerance for spiciness is also slightly on the low side, so take that feedback with a grain of salt - it might be perfect for someone else. The restaurant wasn't too busy when I went, and I think people tend to move in and out of it quite quickly as well.

We waited about 10 mins for a table on a weekend around 12:30pm. #1- blood sausage and organ soup: you can choose the spice level for this one and we went with mild. Probably could go for medium next time. It came bubbling hot and was served with rice. The soup was flavourful and comforting. The blood sausage was wrapped with an intestine which is something I haven't had before. So this was unique. The organ meats were tender as well. Seafood pancake: on the pricier side but I can see why. It was served piping hot and super crisp. It had plenty of seafood and even glass noodles inside. Again, a unique touch. The pancake was not sought at all and the seafood inside was tender. Banchan: kimchi radish was solid and refreshing. The fishcakes were marinated in something different than other places and was tender. Very delicious! The last banchan I'm not sure what it's called but it's also kind of a pickled onion and veg sort of thing. Overall, a really good meal and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area and craving something comforting. Service was good and food came out quick.

He dropped off the kids and I, then we walked from there. It was an okay walk, just dark because the route is not well-lit. Service was lovely!

Youngest son would choose fish n chips for next time; I enjoyed my salmon fish n chips. One piece was fine, no need to upgrade to two. Lemonade was nice to complement fish n chips.

Bori has a number of dishes that really stand out, like the gamjatang (spicy pork bone soup) and the Korean Tonkatsu. I would probably not recommend the sides, since they seemed too pricey, but none of the mains you can go wrong with. Banchan service was great! Nice variety and execution. It's also a well-lit, clean place that is quiet enough for gatherings.

My parents look forward to ordering from there again soon now that they know they have such a great option for Japanese food so close to home.

They have a huge menu and I would definitely want to go back to sample other stuff too.

Make sure you try the lobster bisque as it's one of the meatiest I've had to date; full of that shellfish flavour. The French onion soup is an eye catcher but the broth could use a bit more richness and flavour. Beef bourignon was suggested and I'm glad I took the friendly waitress' recommendation as it was a warm hug on a deep plate. I'd opt to swap for roasted potatoes instead of the mash but the mash does soak up all that delicious stew. The jambalaya is full of different proteins and if you're a fan of that, then I'd make sure to eat this perfectly cooked rice dish. I finished off with a banana bread pudding which was exactly that, banana bread in that bread pudding form; Personally I was hoping for bread pudding that was banana flavoured but it was still ooey gooey goodness. Burgoo should be packed to the brim with this menu for these prices and the friendliness of the staff!

We must like it, we even bought their cookbook to try some of the recipes, especially the Fondumental, which dragged us back there again and again. It wasn't nearly as plentiful or as yummy as we remembered it, but it's still good. The sandwiches and soups have always been rib sticking and tasty. The ambiance has remained the same over the years, a little dark, but the fireplace and the vintage posters are cool. Our server Gary was excellent, Johnny on the spot with all that we were looking for. Their wine and beer is all local, which is a thing these days. My lobster bisque with the FAB salad hit the spot, and the bread piece was exceptional. The lovely K had the onion soup which she liked although said it could use a little more salt. If you want to enjoy a hearty meal on the North Shore down by the water, but not on the water, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

We went on a Friday morning and the cafe was nearly full so we got the last 2 seats at the bar. She got a sandwich and I got a London fog and cinnamon knot. Her sandwich was tasty but quite pricy. Same with my items - they're all definitely on the pricier side. The knot I had was good but I wish it had a stronger cardamom taste to it instead of just cinnamon. The space is gorgeous but is always pretty busy and the staff are super kind! I would come back and try some other items.
