The kimchi stew was extremely flavourful and a must try if you like rich kimchi flavours. The marinated shrimp was not bad but the crab is the star of the show.

Must visit if you're in the area!

I came here during Korealicious to try traditional Korean soy-marinated crab and shrimp…read more The complimentary side dishes were great. My favorites were the sweet soy-braised tofu skin, japchae, and spicy cucumber salad. The hot barley tea also paired really well with the marinated seafood. Marinated Crab The platter comes with six half pieces of soy-marinated crab and six half pieces of spicy marinated crab. The soy-marinated crab tasted very traditional, with a strong sweet soy sauce flavor. Compared with another Michelin pop-up restaurant I tried before, this version was much richer and saltier. The blue crab meat had a soft, jelly-like texture from the curing process, which was impressive. However, the soy sauce became quite dominant after a few pieces, so I highly recommend pairing it with the beef tendon soup or barley tea to balance the flavors. The spicy crab, however, wasn't my favorite. Instead of the sweet, savory heat that I usually associate with Korean gochujang, it leaned more toward the direct heat of Korean chili flakes, similar to the spice level in tteokbokki. I felt the spiciness overwhelmed the natural sweetness of the crab rather than enhancing it. Marinated Shrimp I was worried that eight shrimp wouldn't be enough, but the plate was huge. They use giant tiger prawns, each about the size of my hand, so two or three are already quite filling. Because the prawns are so large, they are only lightly cured, so the meat stays firm and springy instead of becoming soft like the Cantonese-style marinated shrimp I'm more familiar with. The sweet soy marinade penetrates the meat very well, making every bite flavorful. However, after a few shrimp, the soy sauce becomes increasingly dominant and the flavor starts to feel one-dimensional. Personally, I prefer the layered flavors of Cantonese-style marinated seafood, where the freshness of the seafood is complemented by ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and fish sauce. Beef Tendon Soup This ended up being my favorite dish of the meal. The broth was rich with beef flavor and had a wonderful silky texture from the collagen released by the tendon. It paired perfectly with the marinated seafood. A sip of the soup cleansed the palate from the strong soy sauce, making the next bite of crab or shrimp taste fresh again. The tendon itself was tender and well-cooked. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the mustard soy dipping sauce served on the side. Overall, this meal felt more like experiencing two very different marinated seafood traditions. Korean-style marinated seafood emphasizes the deep savory flavor developed through soy sauce curing, while Cantonese-style marinated seafood highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood with layers of ginger, garlic, cooking wine, and fresh aromatics. Even though I personally still prefer the Cantonese style, I enjoyed experiencing this traditional Korean approach.

We were greeted by the host, and taken to our table. Our server was nice and got our orders in pretty quickly. The meats were good as usual, but the rib eye steak was on the chewy/tough side. They added sushi to their menu and it was okay, I wouldn't order it again as I'm really here for the ayce meat. My kids enjoyed everything and ate everything up. I love their crème brûlée and their deep fried rice cake with brown sugar. Needless to say, we left with our bellies were full and we will be back soon.

In the past there was seafood that was unique to that menu. Looks like there went cheaper as there is less premium seafood. Added the fish bites like gyubee has. You can still get the old dipping sauces if you like them. I love the garlicky soy sauce one and they can give it to you. Otherwise you can just make your own at the station. Overall still good. Love the sukiyaki

Always love their hot food section, but recently I found that their home diffuser and skincare/ makeup section also has a large variety to choose from.

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.

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.

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!
