This is kalguksu at its best outside of Korea in my humble opinion…read more This small restaurant keeps the flavors authentic by not dumbing down spice levels. Their Jjam-pong kalguksu packs a serious punch and for a spicy food lover like me, it was a welcome change. The signature beef kalguksu was delicious with lovely beefy broth that wasn't too heavy. The star of the meal was their fresh kimchi (gut-jeol-ee). The cabbage still retained a nice crunch and the kimchi paste was robust with heavy fish sauce notes that was so delicious. This kimchi also packed a good level of heat and paired very well with their handmade giant dumplings. I will be back to sample more of their offerings soon. For now, I will dream of their kimchi until my next visit!

Tried Korean kalguksu and king-size dumplings for the first time, and really enjoyed both…read more The Kimchi King-size Dumplings were huge--almost fist-sized, with six filling up the whole steamer. The wrapper was surprisingly thin and the filling was packed with kimchi, tofu, glass noodles, pork, and green onion. Very juicy and flavorful. The Jjamppong Kalguksu had chewy, handmade noodles with a nice bite. The seafood was fresh, though I found the broth a little mild. Definitely try it with their house kimchi--the cabbage was crisp and the seasoning was much richer than at most Korean restaurants I've tried. The two dishes came to under $40 with the 5% cash discount and were easily enough for two. A great place to try a different, more home-style side of Korean food.

She even gave me a complimentary hot tea as I waited for my take out order. I ordered a pork bone soup ($15). Cheaper than other Korean restaurants. You receive a small container or rice, kimchi, and some banchan with your order. You get a lot of meat in your dish, but I wish it was spicier. Flavours were decent. The side dishes were good. Overall, if you're looking for a quick and hearty Korean meal, I would come here and get some take out.

It didn't take too long for our pork bone soup to be ready. It came with some rice, japchae (glass…read morenoodles), kimchi, and a small cup of tea. Since a traditional stone bowl and metal spoon are used for the meal, they ask that you bring them back to them when you're finished with your meal. It was odd that this pork bone soup did not have any potatoes. We inquired, and they said that with rising costs, they substituted potatoes with a piece of radish. We were expecting more meat and bean sprouts with the soup. With the high price of eating at food courts these days, it's getting closer and closer to restaurant prices, but without the service. Overall, this would be a filling meal for one, but we were a bit disappointed that what we got was not what the dish usually consists of. Perhaps if they had told us about substitutions when we ordered, we wouldn't have been so caught off guard and not gotten what we were expecting.

Despite it being packed, you can get a table pretty quick as the turnover is fast and the service is quick. Most of our table got Special #1 with the soon tofu soup of mussel, shrimp and beef.

The only thing I would say is I wish they had more variety in their banchan options like perhaps a fish cake dish or japchae? We definitely liked the variety of menu options other than soon tofu soup for those in your group who may not prefer the hot soup items. Great addition to the area!

For $15 I got a comforting bowl of pork bone soup, rice, seaweed and pickled radish. As it was close to closing when I ordered, I decided to do takeout. Even though the food court closes at 7:30pm on Sat, the staff still allowed customers to dine in and finish their food. I love that the PBS has veggies in it. Not sure what it is but it kind of reminds me of mustard greens which I love. Rich and flavourful, and not too spicy if at all. I had a bit of left over and I was able to enjoy it as a light meal the next day. Even though it was take out I'm happy that the portion size doesn't seem too off compared to dine-in. Though I think the pork bone soup could be better if there were a bit more meat to the bones. Overall I think It's still a 5-star experience because I would gladly return. Casual spot surrounded by other food court stalls of mostly Asian food options, mostly Korean.

They have all the standard options and the price is pretty reasonable. I got the pork soup for about 14 dollars. They use a buzzer system so it's super easy to know when your order is ready. My pork soup came out sizzling and it was such a hearty meal. My only complaint is that the side dishes looked a little sad and I felt like it was old, especially the sausages. The rice was also stale, but made no difference since I like to eat the rice in the soup. Overall a solid Korean place if you're planning on grabbing a meal in the area.

Location/Service This place is right in the intersection of…read moreBayview/Major Mac, but it is in a smaller plaza right across the high school. It is a little tricky to access the plaza, but there is actually plenty of parking behind the store front that no one never realizes. Inside is pretty big, a lot of tables available to dine-in. You can have it to-go as well, which I seem to see it's like that most of the time. The owner, Peter, is a very nice guy. He explains all the items very clearly, provides good recommendation and makes sure you feel welcomed and enjoys the food. Food This place specializes cupbop - which actually is a classic staple street style food in Korean. It's kind of like a bibimbap, something you add together and mix it up. But cupbop usually also have macaroni salad, stir fried kimchi and a choice of protein like spam, pork, beef. It is a very hearty bowl, definitely good portion size and filling. And it's only $12.99 - that's pretty affordable in this current economy. Besides cupbop, they have street style Korean snacks like their toast, skewers and I think they started doing tteokbokki too. Honestly, this is a small business that deserves more recognition and it is very convenient for kids across the school and anybody in the neighbourhood.

I've tried a range of their offerings (and there's a long list on the menu!), with varying success. My favourite was probably the naengmyeon, smooth and chewy noodles in a refreshing, delicious broth. Their rice dishes like the bibimbap and fried rice are also excellent, as are their pancakes (loved the potato pancake) although the latter is definitely on the oily side. I was much less impressed during the time I tested one of their stews - the soondubu jjigae - which came with a thick layer of what seemed to be chilli oil floating on top but contradictorily still possessed very little flavour (other than numbing spiciness). All of my orders have arrived unfailingly quickly and generally well packaged (there were a couple of spills). However, I do have to note that they are TERRIBLE at following instructions. Four times I selected "non-spicy" for the cold noodles and four times it arrived with a huge dollop of spicy sauce which I then manually spooned out. Of course, any attempt at customization is promptly ignored. Given the price though, this place nonetheless provides a delicious, filling meal with reasonable quality - as long as you're not too picky! :) I will certainly be coming back for my Korean food fixes.

DT all-you-can-eat Korean buffet…read more Kachi has recently brought back the AYCE buffet at this downtown location on Dundas. We were excited to try this ($18.99pp) on a weekend for early dinner but were somewhat disappointed by the quality of the food. Despite having perhaps 25 dishes, dish trays like tteokbokki had little left while some other trays like the crispy wings & shrimp were either too dry or too soggy from being left out too long. Our favorite dishes in the AYCE buffet were the potato noodles and gimbap, while the flavours of the marinated pork bone and bulgogi tasted off balance, which was surprising considering Kachi's pork bone soup is one of our family's go-to's. We were able to try many of the dishes as it's unlimited refill. But you can also still order from the regular menu instead during this AYCE buffet period, and some tables did that. For dessert, there was a good selection of fruits including cantaloupe, grape, orange and pineapple along with a couple flavours of ice cream. The pineapple was unripe, and hence on the tough and sour side. Miso soup and rice were available as well to help down the meal that was on the saltier side. Service was friendly, clearing plates regularly and the basement level restaurant was nice and cool on a hot summer's day. Skip it or hit it? Korean AYCE buffet was neat to try but for the quality, we will skip it next time.
