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.

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.

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.

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!

Both orders came with 3 sets of meats (chicken and beef) for you to grill), and dessert was either: strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate (choose this!) ice cream from Chapmans. Soft drink included. For lunch that's quite a deal! Only at this location though I heard that their RH location has this too but after 9:30pm. Interior is spacious. Accessible friendly though a bit tight. Service was quite. Go get fat ;)

The experience was good overall but because the menu was short I don't think I would be coming back.

Crispy gyoza, fried greens, japche, and kimchi were all so generously placed into my bowl! So much flavor, so many textures! Highly recommend. Price cant be beat for the portion size!
