Very good authentic Korean food. Excellent service. Felt like traditional family run business. Felt like having authentic Korean food close to the airport before our flight. Did not disappoint. read more

I was traveling through and stopped for dinner. The food and service was great! The best Korean food I've had I've had in a long time!

Great food and affordable prices, family owned and managed restaurant. The owner is very nice. My favourite dishes are the yukgaejang and the kkanpoongi! Authentic korean taste. . read more

My friends and I had dinner, and we loved the food. A small place with big line of delicious Korean food. I will be coming back there. read more

Portions have got significantly smaller and the flavour lacks what it used to be, unfortunate.

Today was our first visit, and we were all thrilled! The side dishes were excellent, and refilled! My kids, who don't like kimchi, truly enjoyed today's kimchi. The mains were also really good - excellent pork and beef, and enough for tomorrow's lunch. We will absolutely be coming back to try the shared dishes. read more

Amazing hotpots! Haven't found many Korean restaurants like this that serve massive pots. We ordered the big spicy seafood hotpot. Really great for a cold winters night. Good options for pescetarians and vegetarians. I don't know if it's vegan friendly. They might have some tofu stews and stuff. The seafood is great though and it's traditional Korean. You will not get a sad little hotpot with a little sprinkling of shrimp. They are very generous at Insadong. It was a bit spicy for my friend but if you're able to handle spicy chili stuff like myself, you'll be fine. It's casual dining so good for families, students and people who are going for home-cooked meal style rather than junk food grub style. Good filling, solid food. Great service as well. The owner was really nice. It might be awkward eating a big soup on your own so do bring a friend or family member along ;). The portion size is huge and I had only one friend to help me. We managed to finish it but you gotta pace yourself lol. That soup is no joke. Amazing! read more

Ordered soon du bu and bibimbap.. How deceiving the 4.5 star rating it is for this place. I could literally make soon du bu better than this '4.5' restaurant. If a Korean restaurant messes up bibimbap, they should be in business and it was just midiocre level.. The purple rice that came with soon du bu was literally just 70% cooked I thought I was gonna crack my tooth.. However, the service was good and someone who seemed to be the owner/manager went around every table to check if everything was OK which is a rare move from any Korean resto hence my 2 star. Will not likely return to this place. I dunno what I need to do to ensure the accuracy of the rating for Asian restaurants on Yelp.. read more

I have eaten Korean food all of 2 times before coming here so I guess you may want to take my review with a grain of salt lol. I live in the area and have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came tonight for the first time. Many of the reviews here say this place makes pretty traditional Korean food so I am going to trust that is true, although I don't really know myself. However, I can say I really enjoyed my meal tonight and the service was excellent, so I will return in the future and try other things. They bring several sides like kimchi, pieces of potato in some type of sauce, and a few other things free of charge to start with and refill them as much as you want. We had dumplings to start, I had the bibimbap, my parents had a pork dish and a soup (sorry I forget the names!), everything tasted fresh and the serving sizes were excellent. The service was very friendly and one of the owners came and asked us how everything was going, if we needed refills on sides or anything, and wished us goodbye - I always appreciate when the owners are engaged with their customers. There were Koreans and non-Koreans eating there, a mix of people is always a good sign! We enjoyed our meal and will be back in the future. read more

Second time here - friendly service, clean restaurant and food is very tasty and good portions (I got the kimchi jjigae and my fiancé got the soontofu) There's lots of free parking in the back. Glad we found this gem! read more

A local Korean restaurant that serves decent food in good portions at fair prices. The menu offers a good selection of dishes including the classics like pork bone soup and chapchae. Park in the Dollarama parking lot to save a few doll. read more

Good place to get Korean food. I don't mind driving to North York to get Korean food, but it's nice to have a more local option. The owners are super friendly and the food is authentic. Good stuff. read more

Among the best Korean food I've had outside of Korea. The bibimbap was excellent, and the kimchi was perfect. Very friendly wait staff, and one of the owners came over and chatted to ensure everything was to our liking. We'll definitely be back! read more

Love this place! A true hidden gem in the islington village! We usually have the navy hot pot, love the spicy sausage! It is only $25 for two people! The staff are helpful and super friendly! I've had the chicken teriyaki and really enjoyed it, the chicken was cooked well and great quality! There was enough for two people to share. Overall each time we visit we are surprised and full! Give it a try, this place is unpretentious, simple, yet clean and quite delicious! Enjoy! read more

We were here one evening at the end of Sept. Life has been crazy so I didn't get to writing this review until now. I had the bim bim bap. Hubby had bulgogi or something like that. Delicious, and we ordered this delicious chicken dish (its for 2 people and a little over $20). You need to try this. Cute place, and they clearly get a lot of regulars. It was really tasty and I will be back. read more

This is our go to spot for take out. The food is very authentic Korean, definitely my favourite in the West end area. The staff are all quite friendly in comparison to other Korean restaurants. My favourite dish is the kimchi pork belly. It's a large portion good enough to feed two people. I also really like their Kimchi, which is served fresh. Some prefer the aged kimchi which they sell in the refrigerator for take out. I've tried it once and it's just as good! They have a large parking lot at the back. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Was in Toronto on a work trip and found this place through Yelp. Incredible food and service. Was in the Fall so the meals warmed you up and left you feeling full and content. Definitely some great homemade food that is full of flavor. Huge fan and will stop by any time I am in town. read more

I believe there is BETTER Korean food in West TO/Etobicoke. I won't name any, don't wanna get this review removed or anything... i felt the bulgogi was average at Insadong, had friendlier eating experiences in West Toronto/Etobicoke (not to be named...). read more

I have been going to Insadong since it first opened back in March. It is a family run restaurant with lots of authentic Korean dishes. My favourite is the boodae jeongol (army hot pot) and their kimchi. It has a large parking lot at the back which is really convenient. It's fairly priced and the owners provide warm service. read more

I've eaten here quite a few times since I discovered this place a few months ago. Insadong is currently our go to spot for Korean food. They are consistent, courteous, and have really good Korean food that is easy on the wallet and great for the belly. My partner and I have tried the following dishes: Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) - with fishcake and sliced vegetables. This dish is good but can get spicy. It's the type of heat that builds with every bite. Jae Yuk (Spicy Pork) - which is sliced pork with carrots red peppers and onions cooked in a sweet spicy sauce. It's actually not that spicy for my taste. We get this almost every time I come with a group. There are two serving sizes, the family size (larger portion) does not come with a side of rice but the regular size does. Purple Rice - GET IT AND THANK ME LATER Donkatsu (Breaded Pork Cutlet) - a generous potion for one and great for sharing. It's like having a thick boneless pork chop sliced in half, breaded, fried, and the cook finish it with a generous amount of katsu sauce. I swap out the white rice for the purple rice. Dolsot Bibimbap (Rice pot)- it was the first time I tried this and therefore have nothing to compare it to. It was a nice medley of sliced beef with beans sprouts, pickled radish and a fried egg. I would get it again...with purple rice instead of white. Tang Soo Yook (fried chicken) - bite sized pieces of deep fried chicken with onions and peppers tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. Great for sharing as it is a large portion. read more

I have been to Insadong for the first time since the restaurant changed (used to be Taste of Korea), this past week. Myself and one other person shared the Samgyubsal Kimchi Bokkeum (fried pork belly with Kimchi & vegetables) and got a single side of rice. The food was delicious, and the portion was very large. The spice level was great, not too much, but definitely built to a good spicy level. There was a nice variety of vegetables in the dish that were all perfectly cooked. I wish the rice had been included rather than needing to be ordered as an addition. The woman who was (presumably) the restaurant owner was very nice, making sure that we were happy and were enjoying the food. The environment inside is very nice for dine-in, my only complaint would be that they had those 'diner' napkins in the metal boxes which is frustrating when eating spicy Korean food. Went for lunch on a weekday, it was very quiet and a great atmosphere to chat with your dining company. read more

I ordered spicy beef soup it was delicious and she even wrote me a note 'stay safe'. I was more happy about seeing the staff taking extra precautions wearing mask and providing me with hand sanitizer. I accidentally walked into the wrong store just before and they were not wearing masks. Overall the food tastes great I'd come back read more

Went there for dinner with friends. We had the Insadong special stew made with lobster. crab, and other assorted seafood and vegetables hot pot. Very delicious and we all left stuffed. So good, will definitely be returning. read more

Love this place. Quaint quiet place. With lots of seating. The food is delicious and plentiful

Fresh, fast and clean this simple restaurant reminded me of walking into a Kimbab Chungguk in inje, S. Korea. I had dolsot bibimbap and the service was fast, friendly and the quality of the food could not be improved. While the decor is nothing to sing praises about, you can tell every inch of this place has been sanitized. I'll definitely come back. read more

Insadong - Dolsot bibimbap deeelish - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

the food was very good, loved the service and very nice workers . Definitely recommend they come here .

This is one of those hole in the walls, being that this is a family restaurant I kind of expected a much more friendlier service which is exactly what we received. We looked at the menu and was going towards the big seafood hotpot but we had to say no since that big thing serves 4 and I don't need a food coma so we ended up with the yukgaejang. Because I judge a Korean restaurant by their kimchi, when it first came out I was all over it....and man oh man was it just right! I was on cloud 9 with a big grin until the main course came and with first taste...I was in heaven!! It was so freaking good, think this place has the best one of all the ones that I ever ate at. I love Canada!! For the food that is read more

Food is solid. Traditional dishes done properly. Small appetizers before meal are a bit disappointing. Nothing special compared to other Korean places. Also I find them treat non-Koreans differently thank Koreans-less welcoming and less care. read more

Went in for dinner. Super nice staff. Very polite. Had the kimchi jjigae. So delicious. I ran out of some of the side dished they give you and they gave me some more when I asked. Prices are reasonable. Definitely my main Korean food spot read more

Delicious, each dish was well prepared and to our taste. Highly recommended. Had the spicy rice cakes, tonkatsu, bibimbap and beef bulgogi. Just the right amount of fire and savoury. read more

Came here for lunch with my coworkers after seeing many good reviews. The food is indeed very tasty and the price is reasonable. We ordered the stir fry rice cake, bibimbap, bulgolgi and kimchi soup. And we shared everything. It's so tasty we finished all and will be coming back. read more

The food is great if you don't like spicy food. The staff who work at the restaurant are super lovely, welcoming atmosphere. The prices can be quite expensive, but if you come with friends it should be fine. It's in a nice neighbourhood, the aesthetic of the restaurant is nice too. I would totally recommend this place who is looking for nice Korean food. read more

I ordered take out from the restaurant for pork katsu and kimchi stew. I regret not ordering from my goto Korean restaurant. The reviews for this restaurant seemed so promising. But when I got the food, the donkatsu had a weird smell and kimchi stew was just watered down kimchi. Im so disappointed :( I hope this is a one time fluke but im not going to order from this restaurant again. read more

Insadong was a great Korean spot! Best friend's mom is full Korean and the sea food hot pot was just like growing up at my best friends!

This is my favourite Korean joint in South Etobicoke. You know it's legit because all the Koreans come here too. The Ban Chan game is on point, especially the Kim Chi and Potatoe in the amazing sweet salty golden sauce. It's well priced and the servings are huge. The staff is super attentive. I am a big fan of their seafood hot pot, it's a great value. Interior was it's pretty simple, great for a casual date, or family meal. If you are in the area, they also have free parking on the back side of the building, with an entrance to get in from their, so save your money on street parking. The Bulgogi and Bi stone bowl Bibim Bap are my absolute fav and they knock it out of the park. read more

Had the hot pot version of the pork bone soup, the donkatsu, as well as the spicy rice cakes. Thought all 3 dishes were very well made and delicious, they had the feel of a homemade dish while having that professional and well rounded taste. Nice cozy environment and great service! Over all really enjoyed my experience! read more

Awesome family owned restaurant, great tasting Bibimbap - try the cold kimchi in the fridge too if you're getting takeout

Best Korean restaurant in the area I been a regular customer since the day I bought my wife and kid to this restaurant and when I'm getting take out and would bring a casserole the owner knows me food is excellent wish they could serve Korean beef stew and Korean black sauce noodles that would be perfect read more

The food was definitely one of the better korean spots to eat at. We got the spicy rice cakes, shrimp tempura, pork bone soup, galbi spicy pork & sweet and sour pork. Have to say that everything tasted really good. But I'm giving this place a 4 because the waitress seemed really confused and didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. She seemed really overwhelmed. She packed my pork bone soup and didn't even cover the lid with the liquid. I hope she was just new and this wasn't her usually self. read more
