Came in for KBBQ In Scarborough and did not disappoint. 2 meat minimum great for 2 ppl with regular…read moreappetite. Cheesy corn, steamed egg and Banchan Unli refill. Free sondobu! Although the rice is additional, I love how they serve the purple rice instead of plain white! Priced reasonably about CAD $30 pp but expect to pay more if you get alcohol. Service was great! Food came fast and instructions at table for newbies. Huge air vents so you don't smell greasy after. I just wish they have a covered container for jackets. Lots of parking in the back lot.

Daldongnae's lunch specials remind me of a tiffin where the main dish is circled by seven banchan…read morecreating a colourful fulsome platter. Unlike their Korean barbeque sets, lunch takes longer to arrive as the kettle pot rice is made to order. It's worth the wait to allow the purple rice to develop a bit of crust on the bottom and to allow the beans, chestnut, pumpkin, jujube and chickpeas to soften and seep into the rice. Given how long it takes for make the starch, I'm surprised the pork bone soup ($21.99) doesn't arrive bubbling... this stone bowl is for show only. It also lacks flavour and needed to be stewed longer as the bones were difficult to tear and grizzly to eat. As kamjatang go, this is mediocre at best. The spicy soft tofu stew ($21.99) was better, even the "medium" spicy level came out flavourful without being overpowering. And while it wasn't bubbling, this was hotter and more comforting feeling. It's just a bit stingy on the protein with few slices of beef but adequate amounts of tofu and vegetables. Each arrives with an array of banchan including crispy kimchi cucumber, vegetable laced japchae, a flavourful stewed eggplant, a hefty portion of rolled egg omelette, a scoop of overly sweet potato salad, savoury gelatin, and a slightly sweet creamy lotus root. Two lunch specials can be shared amongst three people, otherwise expect to leave with leftovers. Given Daldongnae wasn't busy during their weekday lunch, their service was spectacular. Still, if you go for lunch, I'd stick with their wheelhouse and order table BBQ as the stone bowl mains were not impressive. If Daldongnae wants to pump up their weekday lunch service, I'd recommend they switch to something they can execute better. Perhaps something like Haidailao where they offer table BBQ but instead of having diners ordering proteins separately, they create a mixed platter priced per person (with still a minimum of two people required).

Disclosure : i am writing the review based on the experience by my spouse…read more My wife signed up for a weekly icing class and was impressed by the amount of in detail instructions provided by the teacher. I know she wil be signing up for more courses.

Place was a little harder to find we had to walk around a bit. The place is also very small and…read moreextremely crowded. I had a groupon for learning how to use fondant. She taught us for about... 5-8 mins in total? and then the rest of the hours we were able to design our own cakes or cupcakes. She taught us how to make flowers 2 different ways and how to use fondant moulds and change the colors of the fondant. They provided us with the tools and we were able to decorate on our own. I still feel like i learned nothing from this class. It was more just recreational fun. There was a woman that ran late and they ran out of spots for her to sit so she had to sit behind the counter. She was not happy as these seats were pre-booked ahead of time. The moulds were on the side of the room on the window sill. Everyone had to bend down and wait for another person one by one to grab them and had to go around the tables to ask for the spray bottles, food coloring and moulds. It was a fun experience for a one time thing to do. You won't learn anything you don't already know. If you want a few hours to feel like you're doing an arts and crafts kind of thing... then this is for you. I did not end up eating the cakes or the cupcakes, they tasted really bland. Really all just for looks. Will not be returning.

A Friend came to visit and watch the new Demonslayer movie. So we brought them here for a pre movie…read moredinner as they never had something like this. Service 10/10 - today they had 3-4 waiters/waitresses working so there was always somebody coming in to check if things needed refills. Our waiter (sorry the name is escaping me.) was a newer parttime worker but was providing us 10 out of 10 service!! Food - 10/10 we got alot more sides than normal today for our friends to try. The tteokbokki was nice and had a deep flavor. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Rice balls was nice and soaked up the tteokbokki sauce. This time we got the half half with spicy bossam and Bbq jokbal. They were both really good flavors. The store had kpop playing at a moderate volume. But we had no issues chating away while sipping on soju. Definitely recommend!

Came here to introduce our friend to Jokbal. We ordered the half and half (spicy Jokbal and the…read moregarlic Jokbal) along with the seafood pancake. We love how the sides are refillable but I don't think we ever ask for refills more than twice as the portion is so generous. Hanyang Jokbal has always been consistently good, and it's why we always come back. The portion of food is always plenty, the taste is unmatched and the sides are delicious. While the food took some time it was understandable as it was very busy. The waiter was very apologetic about the wait. In terms of the interior, it's just one more thing that makes this place such a good dining option. The interior makes you feel like you're not in Toronto. While it does get quite loud, I think it just shows how much people are enjoying the food and the vibe. Hanyang Jokbal is definitely a must!

Service was good and food was delicious…read more We got fried rice and bulgogi, overall it was yummy! We got here at 5pm on a Sunday. It was only a couple of tables that had customers. Shortly after, the whole place got so packed! So I guess that's something to watch out for in terms of timing. I specifically preferred this place because of the location and good parking spot. Overall, I'd go back here again.

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.

Took forever for…read moreme to finally try this spot and I wish I had tried it sooner-- everything from the broths, meat/produce selection, sauce bar, service, and atmosphere really impressed my friend & I. All of their meats were fresh, well tempered (not stale/straight out of the freezer). Condiment bar was self serve and had a wide selection to customize your sauce. Their veggies were also very fresh & the appetizers such as wings & the squid ink dumpling were AMAZING. Soft drinks are also included in the Premium AYCE price at $45/pp after tax. All of their waitstaff we interacted with were kind, patient, attentive, and helpful. Their seating layout is also notable-- each individual table was enclosed, it gave a more cozy/private feel rather than loud & overstimulating despite dining during peak hour. If I could critique even just one thing, it'd be the dessert options, almond pudding and ice jelly were a bit disappointing to end the meal with cuz they weren't great in our opinion, but not problematic enough for me to dock a star. Next time I'm craving hotpot, Daimaru will absolutely be at the top of my choice list moving forward!
