    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).

    We came here late on a Saturday night and it was great that they had late night hours followed by…read moresome bumping Kpop music. The vibe was great and so was the service. We tried the short rib and the tenderloin - the short rib was by far our favourite. The sides are delicious, especially the cheesy corn and steamed egg, and I love their saamjang.

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.

My buddy and I signed up for the Fondant Fun workshop (a Wilton course) which is a great intro to all things fondant. It's taught by Nimali Senaratne who shows you how to bloom flowers and coax animals out of something that resembles play-doh. We were given a 6-inch cake that was already iced, a lot of equipment, and then we went at it! She gave us a basic step by step and helpful tips & tricks as we worked. I had such an amazing time bringing out my creative side. I'd recommend their classes to anyone starting out or someone who simply doesn't have the confidence when it comes to baking. They also take cake orders and sell Wilton products if you're looking to buy.

    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!

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!

Ambiance is casual, interior is clean, and service is fast and attentive. We ordered a couple of dishes and they all came out relatively quickly. The banchan (small side dishes) are refillable once only. My favourite banchan of the day were the bean sprouts and eggplant. There were lots of vegetarian and vegan options, such as the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, Vegetables Bibimbap, Mushrooms Bibimbap, Vegetables Udon, Vegetables Fried Rice, Kimchi Pancake, Soondubu-jjigae (Soft Tofu Stew) in different variations, and more. The menu was pretty extensive, covering the most typical Korean dishes from the stews and grilled items, to a few Korean-Chinese dishes (such as Jajangmyeon) and everything in between. Steamed Vegetables Dumplings were quite small individually, but came in a sizeable portion. I liked the green onion garnish. Taste-wise, they were alright. Vegetables Bibimbap was excellent - good amount of mixed vegetables (spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot strips, lettuce, bean sprouts) and the fried egg was perfectly crispy on the outer edges, with a still gooey and runny yolk. Grilled Croaker was also decent. It had a lot of small bones as it was a whole fish. It came served with purple rice, and we chose to add on extra lettuce. Seafood Knife Cut Noodles came in a big portion - with lots of slippery, thick udon noodles, pieces of seafood (mussels, clams, squid, shrimps, octopus), and a little big of vegetables (zucchini, carrot, onion). They came in a nice seafood-infused broth - perfect for a cold winter day. I'd come again for the variety of menu items they offer (especially the wide selection of vegetarian options), satisfying tastes, and great & efficient service.

We ordered the Spicy Cheese Pork Ribs, Gamja Tang, and Corn Cheese, and honestly, everything hit the spot. The spicy cheese pork ribs were really good, a little spicy but not overwhelming, and covered in plenty of melty cheese.

The Gamja Tang was classic and comforting, with rich broth and very flavorful pork bones that made it feel extra hearty. We also ordered the corn cheese, which is something I almost always get at Korean restaurants, and this one did not disappoint. It wasn't greasy at all, and the balance of sweet and savory made every bite really enjoyable.

I especially liked the dumplings because the outside had a light crisp texture while the filling stayed juicy. The portions were reasonable, and the side dishes helped round out the meal nicely without feeling excessive. Service was friendly, although things slowed down a little once the restaurant became busier. Nothing major, but there was a bit of a wait at times for extra items and the check. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would come back again if I were in the Richmond Hill area looking for comforting Korean food in a relaxed setting.

    **FOOD SAFETY CONCERN** DANGER **…read more We are a table of 9 adults (7 of them seniors) and 1 baby. If you bring a baby, they do not have high chairs, only booster seats FYI. We called ahead since we are a party 6+. We had to try multiple times because our call was left unanswered.. Overall food was great .. until I found something shiny stuck to a shrimp in the hotpot. I was able to figure out what it was once I took it out. A flexible SHARP STEEL filament - Likely from steel wool. GROSS!!!!! And DANGEROUS!!! After I found that, it ruined my appetite and night. I became paranoid and worried about my family biting into steel. Will this result in a trip to the hospital? The server was apologetic and helped us change the broth immediately but honestly I wish there was more from management. It's not like finding a strand of hair. This is serious!!! Daimaru's lack of food safety and poor hygiene is unacceptable. I am still fuming that this happened. They are lucky I found it before any of the 7 seniors found it stuck in their throat or intestines. The nice servers had to hear our anger and frustration. Eventually after the second complaint from us did the manager finally decide to come in personally and address it. Should have addressed it the moment it happened in my opinion. If you eat here, eat at your own risk and check your food carefully. Attaching our receipt of the resolution: 10% off our entire bill. Won't be recommending to anyone.

It's well decorated and fun, but not super tacky/hipster-y or anything. For the food, my friends and I ordered 5 things and shared amongst the 3 of us. I didn't try the Fried Dumplings or Beef Bulgogi, but my friends seemed to enjoy them both! Beef Bone Kulgooksu (5/5) The broth was amazing and super comforting! The noodles were nice and chewy, and it felt like a pretty big portion and definitely worth a try. Soy Sauce Fried Chicken with Rice Cakes (4/5) There were really not that many rice cakes, but the chicken was excellent with a nice crispy outside that's not overly coated in batter. Boiled Pork Belly with Green Onion (4/5) The pork belly was pretty juicy and fell apart nicely, although the strips of meat were thinner so some pieces felt a bit more dry/overcooked than others. The green onion blends well flavour-wise and was not over-powering! Something to note is that this place is definitely understaffed, with only 2 people working the floor. My friends and I had waited a decent amount of time (~15-20min) despite there being empty tables as 4-5 groups of tables left after we arrived, and the tables had been cleared and wiped down and set. We had been at the top of the waitlist, and unfortunately we were heavily discounted that another group that arrived later than us had gotten seated before us and another couple who had already been waiting a while (maybe because they had a larger party?). At the end of the meal, we had to ask for the bill and takeout containers twice because they forgot the first time, and therefore spent 10-15 minutes waiting/trying to get a waiter's attention. Overall, I would say that it was not a terrible experience, but I don't know how I would feel coming back with a small group again
