It is also well known for its excellent Soy-Marinated Crabs (Ganjang-gejang) and Spicy-Marinated Crabs (Yangnyeom-gejang). If you haven't tried these delicacies yet, consider visiting this cozy spot. We had the BEST Soy-Marinated Crabs (Ganjang-gejang), Spicy- Marinated Crabs (Yangnyeom-gejang, Kalguksu and DolSot-BiBimBap. Everything was freshly cooked and very delicious including the complimentary side dishes. The service is fast here and the owners are friendly. They are located in a plaza and offer ample parking spaces. read more

Came to try the raw marinated crabs in soy. It was my first time trying it and it tasted really good. Although I did not try to bite the claw with my teeth as I was worried about breaking my teeth. Almost every table has the crab as well as the Korean seafood pancake. It was huge and we had to take a lot home. I also really enjoyed the steam egg and the soon tofu with seafood, I got it less spicy and it was still a bit spicy for me. Overall, I enjoyed this place, the price was a bit higher for other Korean restaurants, but everything was fresh and tasty. read more

Seriously the best place to get raw marinated crabs! There's two to choose from - soy sauce or spicy sauce. From the two, I like the soy sauce better. I love combining rice to the head and eating it that way. read more

A few of my Korean friends introduced this place to me and I've been a few times to this location and the one at Finch. I love the homey Korean restaurant vibe. For the raw marinated crabs there's 2 options: either have it in soy sauce or a spicy sauce. The spicy sauce is yummy, but if you want to enjoy the crab flavour more, get the soy sauce version. I haven't tried their other foods yet, but I see a lot of people ordering their other dishes besides the raw marinated crabs! read more

Jung Soo Ne - Korean Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Overall rating 4.1/5 I've been wanting to try raw marinated crabs for quite some time, so I was really looking forward to Jung Soo Ne because I've heard good reviews. Came with a few friends, and we all enjoyed the food! Soy sauce marinated raw blue crabs: these were definitely the highlight of our meal. Super savoury, creamy, and didn't have that unpleasant fishy smell that seafood sometimes has. Mixing rice in the crab shell for maximum roe and crab guts was a culinary delight. My only gripe with this was that we didn't have any tools to break/cut the legs and shell, so it was hard to get all the flesh out. While the crabs were on the smaller size (which is to be expected), it was so delicious! Tteokbokki: chewy rice cakes, spicy-sweet sauce, and fish cake slices. Don't be fooled by the appearance - it may look like a simple dish, but it is packed with flavour! Seafood soft tofu stew: there's nothing quite like a Korean stew to round out a meal. Served boiling hot in a cast iron pot (the proper way!) with a raw egg on top. This stew was a bit spicy, hearty, and you can't help but sigh/groan after that first sip. In terms of the restaurant and service, these were just ok. Service was efficient, but I wouldn't say it stood out. The decor is a bit dated, and I found that it wasn't as clean as I'd like, but it didn't bother us too much. read more

This establishment has the best raw marinated crab ive ever had. Admittedly, I haven't had it often, but the soy sauce marinated crab was so satisfying. I had this and the spicy one, and they were both so good. Meaty crabs that reminds me of uni. the kalbi was also really good, though at $40 it is steep. Come for the crab. You won't regret it. read more

Love the soy raw marinated crab from here, I have tried the spicy one and it was actually way too spicy for me to enjoy. But if you love that spice definitely try it out! The soy marinate is delicious the perfect combination of salty and sweet, they also give so much different banchan with your meal. The were so fast with our order as well, but it is a smaller restaurant so if you do have a bigger party just keep that in mind read more

Like everyone else, I came here for the crabs! They were really good but incredibly difficult to open with just our gloved hands. They were creamy and a little sweet, and the soy sauce was really delicious. It probably would have tasted amazing on rice too, but it was easier to suck the meat out than to get it out with my fingers. There was a lot of banchan which is always nice, and the food came out pretty quickly. It was all very tasty. read more

Having lived in the neighborhood for several years, I've revisited this restaurant a couple times. Their HaeMul PaJeon (seafood pancake) is consistently one of the best I've had in Toronto. Crispy, fluffy batter with a good amount of octopus, onion, and scallion, all alongside a delicious soy-based dipping sauce on the side. While this dish definitely hasn't dodged inflation (now $26), it's a must-order whenever I visit and is a great shareable for the table. However, I've come to realize that the rest of their menu is overpriced and doesn't really stand out. Their raw crab used to be their "known-for" delicacy dish but this is now offered by various other Korean restaurants and you can even buy it at H-mart! One item in particular that I'd actually recommend you avoid is the $22 Galbi Tang (beef rib soup) - when I ordered this, it only had 3 small pieces of beef rib and the meat was tough and chewy. It was so difficult to get the small pieces of meat off the bone that it wasn't even worth the effort. The rest of the soup was also lacking in flavor and was mainly compromised of vermicelli. It was pretty bare bones (literally) for the price. Another thing I've come to dislike about this restaurant is that they're very stingy on refills. In the past, we've been refused more than 1 refill on side dishes (even when the whole table is ordering at least one entree each, not including shareables). At my most recent visit, we were told no more refills on our complimentary tableside tea! How ridiculous! For a menu that already seems overpriced, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth that they'd cheap on out on things like tea and side dishes. Unfortunately, this does affect my impression of their business model and decreases my future desirability to return. read more

Unfortunately, the crabs were extremely salty. I know they're soy-marinated, but the saltiness was so strong that even the rice and soup couldn't balance it out. It honestly felt like I ate spoonfuls of salt for dinner. I liked the soup, but the crabs not so much. read more

Ever craved a stew so comforting it feels like a bear hug? Jung Soo Ne Bonga delivers exactly that with their Ground Soybean Stew (D22 or D27). It's thick, savory, and warms you from the inside out. Don't sleep on the Grilled Mackerel either; the crispy skin and smoky finish will have you nodding in pure fishy satisfaction. The Spicy Stir-Fried Pork (D15) was less impressive. Let's just say it's lacking that "wow" factor. But the rest of the menu keeps the good vibes flowing. Bonus points for the free Wi-Fi and the polite nudge from a digital bell whenever you need the server's attention. If you're looking for a laid-back Korean spot with comforting dishes, give this place a whirl. read more

** There's a few places with a similar name so just make sure you're going to the right location. This one is on Steeles, not Yonge. ** Same as many of my fellow Yelpers, I came to try the marinated raw crab - a Korean specialty that I've been craving since stumbling across Korean Market documentaries and watching short recipe reels. They don't take reservation, so if you're more than 4 people, you might wanna try coming for an earlier dinner. Service is really quick though so I did notice tables turning over fairly often. We ordered the marinated raw crabs (both soy and red) and a gamjatang. Wow that raw crab was delicious. I thought I'd enjoy the one marinated in red sauce more, but I actually preferred the soy marinated one. It was all quite a bit salty, but wow that crab meat is so delicious and sweet. It's got a similar texture to raw shrimp if you've ever had that at sushi. At $26+ per crab dish, it was a bit of a treat for us, but given that it's unique to this restaurant, I'd say well worth it. We also ordered the first set meal which came with mackerel, seafood pancake, army stew, and kalbi short ribs. The ribs were good and the army stew was quite a bit spicier than expected. The seafood pancake though was the best! The crispy fried bits had the best flavour, and it comes packed with seafood and onions. I'd definitely order that alone. And it was huge! I think I'd be back for the crab, and a side of that delicious pancake. read more

3.5 - My family and I decided on Korean food while in the area and this location popped up so we stopped by here. Lots of seating, we went during lunch time and there was only a table of people occupied. Their menu is extensive, offering a variety of common Korean eats that other Korean restaurants have as well. From what I have seen lately, this place is one of the few restaurants that offer raw crab in the GTA which has been trending a lot online. Some of the dishes we got was fried chicken katsu and stir fried chicken with vegetables. Prices were a bit more expensive than we expected but portions were not bad. I took some of the stir fried chicken home as leftovers and had it the next day. It was still tasty. What I found ok was the cheese, I was anticipating for shredded cheese like mozzarella but got sliced cheese on the dish instead. read more

Hole in the wall Korean restaurant in a shopping center. We had the soy marinated raw crab (2x crab) and the spicy marinated raw crab (3x crab) and the seafood tofu soup. The crab was fresh and not fishy (almost every table was eating this) and pretty affordable. The soy marinated crab wasnt overly salty, but I wish they split the crab in halves like they did on the spicy marinated crab. The claws on the crab werent cracked, and the restaurant doesnt provide crab cracker tool so the claws become hard to eat. They only provide two gloves per person and they dont provide seaweed for the crab (rice is provided). read more

Finally got to try some Ganjang Gejang - absolutely in love! For those who haven't tried, Jung Soo Ne offers the delicious marinated raw crabs! Make sure to order both the soy sauce (Ganjang Gejang) and the spicy (Yangnyeom Gejang). The dishes use a small blue crab for marination, which is left raw for the process. It results in a deliciously sweet crab meat that's soft and tender. The Ganjang Gejang comes with 2 crabs inclusive of the top shells. Make sure to squeeze all the crab meat out from the body and mix it with your rice! The top shells also come with an insane amount of tomalley - a sweet, orange paste-like part of the crab that you don't want to miss out on. The Yangnyeom Gejang comes with 3 crabs, but no top shells. A big contrast to the soy marination, but the Jung Soo Ne does it really well as to not overpower the taste of the fresh raw crab itself. Get both, but maybe you'll agree with me that the Ganjang Gejang is better! I'm just a sucker for the tomalley. During the summer, Jung Soo Ne also offers a seasonal, refreshing naengmyeon (cold noodles). The ice cold broth is much needed on a hot, humid day. It's honestly comparable to another authentic Korean restaurant nearby in the area, so I wouldn't mind coming here just for the naengmyeon either! Jung Soo Ne is tucked in the corner of a small plaza but definitely a gem in the GTA food scene. read more

I've never seen soy marinated crabs at a restaurant so I jumped on the chance to try it out. Two crabs and a bowl of rice comes to around $25. The crab is not too salty despite swimming in soya sauce and retains a lovely seafood sweetness that pairs so well with rice. If you like the taste of seafood, definitely worth a try! Service is fast but friendly, as the two staff in the front are constantly running food from the kitchen, clearing tables and taking orders. Near constant stream of patrons on a Friday night. No frills ambiance that is obviously a neighborhood staple. read more

We've been here twice so far and have been very impressed both times. The staff here are great and the service is pretty fast. They give five different appetizers and are willing to refill them all which was really nice. We originally wanted to try this place for their famous raw crab, so we tried the Spicy Raw Marinated Crab. I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that it was very spicy; in hindsight we probably would have enjoyed the soy marinated crab more. However, it was nice to try once and had a very unique gooey texture. I am a huge Bibimbap fan so I was eager to try it here. I was very pleased with just how much meat and vegetables they load in the bowl and it's all very fresh. Additionally, they give the spicy sauce on the side so you can add exactly as much as you want! We love soups so we've also ordered SoonDuBu JjiGae, the spicy tofu soup with seafood. It has a good amount of spiciness and a very flavourful broth. It's loaded with tofu and seafood so really is exactly what we hoped for. I've never had DdeokBokki before so we gave that a try and also really enjoyed it! It's funny to watch each other try to eat it since the rice cakes are super slippery. The sauce was pretty flavourful and although we liked the fish cakes in it, they were huge pieces which were a little tough to eat. Overall our first two visits have been amazing and I doubt it will be long before we return. The food is delicious and there's a huge variety of options for you to try so one visit just isn't enough! read more

Friendly mom and pop shop with Korean raw crabs! If you're dining here you're most likely here for the Korean raw crabs and they do not disappoint at all! Staff are super friendly and helpful when ordering and bringing food to our table. The interior of the restaurant is not most aesthetically pleasing but the food is great. They don't take reservations at all so it's a walk in only. We arrived at the restaurant around 630PM for a table for 6 people, the wait was short and we got a table shortly after. But the line up started piling up at the door. Side dishes were really great. The kimchi was a bit on the sour side. But they had other things such as fish cake, bean sprouts, seaweed and potatoes. Things we ordered: Bulgogi clear noodle soup 8.5/10 A punch of sweetness in the soup with beef and clear noodles. Great for sharing as I think the sweetness of the soup would be heavy to eat as you continue dining. Hot pot soon du bu 7/10 Spicy! This comes served on top of a stove and boils table top to ensure the soup is bubbly hot! It's on the spicier side for me and I found myself not being able to really eat too much of this. Hot pot gamjatang 10/10 Loved this dish. This also came served on top of a stove and served on table top. This gamjatang had clear noodles on top which were a nice touch. Flavours were great and the perfect spice level. My only complaint with this is that there was hardly any broth/ soup. We had to ask for more broth as it was all meat. Seafood pancake 10/10 Super tasty with lots of ingredients inside the pancake. Pan fried to perfection and had a really good dipping sauce. Just make sure not to dip too much as the sauce is on the saltier side. Korean raw crabs: 10/10 The main star and dish of this restaurant. The crabs are raw and come in an order of 2 crabs. They are marinated in a soy sauce marinade and pair perfectly with rice. The best description of this is that it's slimy but with a very fresh, golden seafood taste. The only thing I think the restaurant can do better at is cutting the crab in half. It's really hard to eat when the crab is not cut in half yet so we tried cracking it ourselves which is super messy and could easily splatter. We had gloves to eat the crabs though which was nice. This is a seasonal item, so make sure to give them a call before coming here just for the crabs! read more

I was craving this since I first had it in LA. I don't usually have access to this living in Austin, so I'm glad I could try this when visiting Toronto! I went with my two cousins and we shared an order of the soy marinated crab, the seafood pancake, and bossum. The crab was small portion but the pancake was huge! The thickest I've seen seafood pancakes. We also got a few side dishes. The crab was good, nice and sweet. However we didn't get gloves so that was a little messy. We had to ask for scissors which helped a bit. It was nice to mix the rice with the crab head. As another reviewer mentioned, it might be nice for the restaurant to help split the crab before serving. Bossum was good too, but I think I would prefer with the skin off because it was a little tough. read more

Soy marinated raw crabs ! Been wanting to try this for the longest time and i'm glad I did. The crab was fresh and not fishy at all, the sweet, creamy tomalley with the sweet and savoury soy sauce mixed into the rice was so full of umami flavour, it was perfect! The dish also comes in a spicy version which I actually like more than the original. The tomalley can get a little heavy after a few bites so the spicy really helped. Original you get 2 crabs and a bowl of rice Spicy you get 3 crabs and a bowl of rice (no head shell) read more

Perfect raw marinated crabs in Toronto! Raw marinated crabs is an absolute delight(ò_ó) No fear of being too fishy or salty - perfectly seasoned! Rich in crab roe, pairing it with rice is an exquisite experience. Just eating it as is, perfection! I recommend savoring the rice on the side under the crab shell. It feels like a trip to Korea - and you get two crabs in one serving, truly value for money! Highly recommended. The service is excellent and the vibes in the restaurant makes me feel like in Korea. amazing! read more

Went for their soy marinated crabs and it did not disappoint. Although on its own, the marinade was on the saltier side, it was perfect topped with rice. 10/10 Spicy crabs did not come with shells, also very good but a little too spicy for my taste. I feel like because it doesn't come with shells, the soy crabs are a better deal since these are $2 more. 8/10 Also order tofu stew with pork. This was perfect and the tofu was silky. 10/10 The restaurant itself presents like an older establishment but has its charm. The one waitstaff is pretty monotone and not at all enthused, but was pretty quick with service. Seemed almost like a one man show. The washroom could use a heater, not only was it freezing but the tap water was also cold and the hand dryer also blew cold air. Overall a very enjoyable meal, would definitely go back read more

I had been wanting to try Korean raw marinated crab for a long time, but since I am from Seattle, there wasn't any in my area. Once I found out there was a restaurant in the Toronto area, I immediately put it on my list of places I wanted to go to, and this definitely satisfied my craving! The spot is a little far from the downtown area, but definitely worth the trip. We arrived pretty late, around 8 pm, and still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The waitress was extremely friendly and gave us a menu when we asked for it to look at while waiting. We ordered both the soy sauce and spicy versions of the crab. And the seafood pancake because my partner isn't a big seafood or spicy person. I personally enjoyed the soy sauce version. It had the right amount of flavor without covering up the original taste of the crab. It also came with the body shell of the crab, which is perfect to mix your rice into. Both versions were extremely fresh and had a good texture. I was not disappointed by my very first raw crab experience. The seafood pancake was also extremely exceptional. It had a lot of pieces of squid, crab, etc inside of it, making it extremely tasty. If you are hoping to try raw crab, I would definitely recommend making the way to this place! They have a lot of other wonderful Korean dishes on the menu, and I am sure everyone can find a little something from this place. read more

After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. We were immediately seated after checking in. The restaurant is big, but not overwhelmingly so, with tables and booths covering every inch of the polished wooden floor. Pictures of food are taped to the walls along with signs that warn customers of allergens that could be present in the food. Large, powered-off sconces that resemble street lights hang over each of the booths as well. We ordered the following: D1 GamJaTang- pork bone soup. (Boiled pork neck bone). This was hubs' favorite. He was craving something soupy. D2 Dolsot Bibimbap- assorted vegetables with ground beef and fried egg on rice in hot stone bowl. It's served with a spicy gochujang sauce. This was pretty good, also. I love the fact that you can make crispy rice on the hot stone bowl. C5 Haemul PaJeon- Korean style pancake with assorted seafood and green scallions. We liked this a lot because there was plenty of seafood in the pancake. All the entrees were small portions. I got used to seeing big portions in the US and was surprised when I saw this. I saw some people eating raw crabs and was tempted but didn't do it. The place was run by one guy but I'm pretty sure the kitchen had multiple people working in there. When we got here, there were plenty of tables available. But, they were all taken by the time we were ready to leave. Service was quick. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu. read more

their raw crab is incredibly tasty. my go to place i I crave for Korean food especially raw crabs

The first time I tried the raw crab and felt impressive from the decoration to the taste. Certainly will come again.

The food is generally good. But I did not like how the owner left the door opened for 2 times when it was cold and windy, when we complained he just nodded head and left. He closed the door but after almost another minute. It was 9pm and they closed at 9:30pm on Sunday. However, the server came with a bill and the machine to rush us to pay because "there is no more customer so we close early". What about us? Who were still eating and will definitely pay? We asked for to-go containers and he was walking around and looking at our table to make sure we are packing the left over food and leave. What a horrible experience. P/s: if the owner responds that we gave feedbacks to the wrong location, no worries I got you! I have the bill with time on it, I have payment record on my card that I can show to proof to you that I was there! You're making money in Canada, even somewhere else, be nice and treat people well! Ah one more thing. They wiped out the table in front of ours and there was still small pieces of food left on the table. So, be cleaned as well! read more

Came here specifically for the marinated crabs. I had these in Korea and my sister was really craving something similar. We ordered the soy sauce marinate - salty by itself, but paired with rice and side dishes is good. It does have an acquired taste with a slimy texture. It was $14.99 for 2 crabs, and it comes with rice. Something to try. Korean seafood pancake was huge, great for sharing, and had lots of seafood in it - good app! We also ordered the army stew pot budae-jigae. Loads of stuffing, noodles is enough for 2 people and pretty spicy! Good dish for sharing. Average service, press the button they will come to you. Not busy when we came. The crabs are a bit pricey but overall reasonable price. Family run restaurant and most patrons speak korean. Would return for the crabs only. read more

Clean and cozy area for dining. Food was good, served one by one. Food portion was also good for two/three people if shared. The side dishes were also well seasoned -seaweed, sweet potato, kimchi, soybean sprout and seasoned tofu. For two, we ordered: Gamjatang - sometimes a hit or miss for us but this one delivers. Soup is not as thick but is flavourful. The meat is also the right tenderness that it slides off the bone right away. Tangsuyuk - right balance of sweet and sourness. The addition of the apple is great way to cleanse the palate. Seafood Pancake - the best pancake that i have tried. The crunch on every bite is delightful and it is not salty but very tasty. Lots of squid pieces on this pancake too. You can enjoy this with or without the dipping sauce. Soy Marinated Raw Crab - Surprisingly good. The marinade compliments the crab and as a first time eater of raw crabs, the soy sauce made it less scary to eat. read more

I had lunch here with my parents and overall it was good, but because I can't eat sesame seeds I was very limited in what I could eat, as they marinade almost everything in sesame seeds - like I couldn't eat any of their banchan/side dishes :( We ordered the seafood pancake ($17.99), beef bulgogi ($15.99) and sweet and sour deep fried chicken ($20.99) - this dish is usually with pork, but they were ok to substitute chicken. We originally wanted to get the fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce but we were told that the sauce contained sesame seeds, so the lady recommended the sweet and sour sauce. My mom also wanted to get the giant dumplings (I think they are called Wang Mandu), but they said they don't serve them anymore. They give you 6 banchan/side dishes here. I will just list them because I couldn't eat them since every single one was marinaded in sesame seeds. My dad loved them though. Kimchi, bean sprouts, eggplant, wakame seaweed, gosari namul, and tofu. I couldn't eat the beef bulgogi either because it too was marinaded in sesame seeds. I did notice that the portion size was a bit small and there was more liquid in the dish than I've seen at other locations. My mom was not thrilled by the beef bulgogi. The seafood pancake was big, thick and full of green onions, squid and shrimp. It was good, but a bit oily. The fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce was tasty. We got the sauce on the side. The chicken was boneless thigh meat, which I realize most people like because it is more flavourful and juicy, but I personally prefer the leaner breast meat. The batter was not crispy but rather soft and slightly chewy, a bit reminiscent of choux pastry, but obviously not choux pastry, lol. The dish was garnished with pieces of raw carrots and raw apples. Service was courteous. The wait time for the food was a bit long though. I wish I was able to eat more items there. My parents were able to eat everything and my dad really liked everything, but my mom thought things were just ok. The restaurant is in a strip mall with other restaurants and a few medical clinics. Lots of free parking. read more

Came here for a late lunch after our weekend hike. The food did not disappoint! We love marinated crab and this is one of the only places in Toronto that serves this item. The pork bone soup was extremely flavorful with large chunks of pork neck bone. You can taste the nutty flavor of the perilla seeds. It's exactly what you need on a chilly day. Both the spicy and soy marinated crabs were really good. The spicy crabs were very impressive because flavor profile was way more complex than just gocharu. I loved it. If you cannot take spicy, I would skip the spicy one. Try at least one of the marinated crab dishes here. Make sure to mix some of your rice in the crab shell - flavor bomb! Only complaint is it would have been nice if they offered us scissors to cut the crabs at the get go. I only realized after eating and by then a mess had already been made. Definitely ask for the scissors to make it easier to eat. read more
