    If you have not heard, Kachi now has a korean buffet option for $19/per person. Everything from beef bulgogi, korean pancakes, spicy pork bones, steamed vegs, kimchi and a ton other banchan - you really should check them out. For $20, it's a great deal. Staffs are friendly, service is quick, lots of seats, and it's right at Huron/Dundas (not the one in Kensington market!). Updating my review the day after since I discovered they use a massive amount of MSG in their foods and I would recommend being careful if you are sensitive.

    Absolutely delicious. For à la carte options, there's unlimited side dishes available. Also, there's a AYCE option that has a ton of delicious dishes available.

    We order several dishes and they are all very delicious!!! Not just Korean foods, my son really likes their California roll! Yumm

    a plate of food on a table
    Barron Cedric T.

    It was not busy during the Saturday evening when we dined. There were only 2 other diner groups other than us who were present. The service was alright. We placed an order for Kam Ja Tang, a beef bulgogi dish, and bulgogi poutine. When the order for Kam Ja Tang came, I did not initially recognize what it was. I asked, and they mentioned it was Pork Back-Bone Stew. After some clarification, it was cleared up that it was one and the same just the Korean term for it. The food was good. There was sufficient serving of the Kam Ja Tang, and its soup was rich and very flavourful. I was not sure if I was a little full before coming here or if there was a lot of the Bulgogi Poutine, but I was not able to finish it. I found some slight issue that they already gave the impression of wanting to clear our table early. After finishing our meal, we were just idling a little and keeping comfortable in our seats chatting and on our phones. The server then came, offered to take away the plates & bowl, and asked how we wanted to pay. It was a slow night, and there were a lot of other open table seating so there should be no reason to clear our table to make it open. I would rather I ask for the bill when I am done and ready to leave rather than the bill payment set by the restaurant just so they can get it over with.

    Spicy stir fried udon with squid + beef at the front and dukbokki in the back
    Cindy D.

    My coworkers and I were craving Korean food and opted to going here during our lunch break. There were 5 of us and we were worried they did not have space but luckily there was space. I ordered stir fried udon with squid and beef with dukbokki for my coworkers to try. The udon was pretty good, it was sauce and not spicy. Rice cakes were okay. Prices were very expensive, I was shocked to see the menu prices. For both dishes, it came to be almost $55 with tax and group tip. Super pricey.

    Udon noodles with spicy pork with vegetables on hot plate
    Sarah M.

    My hubby & I came here for lunch yesterday. We were walking along Dundas & this place caught our eyes due to a large number of pictures with food items and descriptions stuck on an outside wall. I quickly looked it up on Google reviews and it was rated 3.9 which is okay for me to try. I got my usual order of Gamjatang regular spicy. You can get it mild, regular spicy or extra spicy which is nice as I have never seen this being offered at any other Korean restaurant. Omgoodness it was sooooo good. The pork was fall off the bone tender. Still slightly pink and full of flavor. I got 3 pieces in my bowl & there was so much meat that I didn't finish it. I also really like that there was bean sprouts in it too. My hubby got the udon noodles with spicy pork on a hot plate. He said it was pretty good. The banchan here was just okay. I've had much better & fresher ones. The one big downside is their prices. My gamjatang costs $17.95 & my hubby's was I think $22.95. We've never paid so much for Korean food before!

    Army stew
    Maya L.

    Came here for dinner with a few friends, we got the seafood pancake and army stew to share. I liked the seafood pancake however it was a bit on the oily side. The army stew was okay, on the salty side and didn't have much flavours outside of that.

    Soft Tofu Stew and Mackerel with Side Dishes

    The food here was very mediocre, at least based on what I tried. I got the soft tofu stew which tasted pretty bland to me and mackerel which was a bit too oily for my liking.

    Kamja-tang
    Deborah M.

    On a cold winter day, I went with some friends to Ka Chi, a cute Korean near the heart of downtown Toronto. I ordered their Kamja-tang. ⁣ ---⁣ Imagine having a warm, hearty and flavourful soup on a cold day. Apart from pork, it had potatoes, green onions and some sesame seeds. It came with a bowl of purple rice and a variety of side dishes. The staff was also really friendly. I love practicing speaking Korean with others and the staff that attended to us spoke it to me from time to time! I recommend checking them out if you get the chance. ⁣Great food and friendly staff.

    Tofu stew

    I just ordered this from ubereat, and OMFG, my orders supposed to come with rice, I ordered 3 things, only came with ONE rice??!! and the two Dwen Jang Jjigae I got, am I ordering soup??!! looks like someone else left over, 4 pieces of tofu with chop up onions, WTF. this restaurant is being freaking cheap and just don't order from here, it's a scam. Horrible

    Number 53 (beef bulgogi udon)

    Tried this restaurant for the first time, will be coming back here! The atmosphere is really nice and very spacious. Ordered dish number 53 (beef bulgogi udon) and it was delicious. Service was fast, polite, efficient, but best of all was definitely the food. Highly recommend trying this place for any cravings of Korean food.

    We came to this causal Korean restaurant by AGO Chinatown area for dinner cuz we were craving for Korean food. They have a pretty big menu with hot soups, stir fry, rice, and some Lorena traditional appetizers dishes too. It has another location close to the Kensington area You can customize the level of spiciness for the soft tofu soup. Served with side kimchi dishes and a small bowl of rice on the side. Mine tasted pretty spicy so the flavour kind of disappeared a bit because of the spice. But I really liked that that had an option of + Dumplings, because it made the soup even more filling along with the rice and tofu! The Pork Bone Soup was pretty good, but I like the Owl of Minerva one better The spicy stir-fry rice cake surprised us because of the huge plate that it came in. Had a mix of veggies, glass noodles, and rice cakes were pretty soft but still had a nice chew I really liked their twist to the seafood Pancake by adding rice cake on top of it, it had a crispy shell on the outside but soft on the inside still. Spicy Soft Tofu Soup with Dumplings - $8.50 Seafood Pancake with Rice Cake - $6.95 Spicy Stir-fry Rice Cake - $7.95 Pork Bone Stew - $7.95

    Lee is the one restaurant I look forward to every Summerlicious…read more One reason is that every year they create a completely new menu instead of reusing dishes from their regular menu. As an Asian fusion restaurant, I always come curious to see what new ideas the chef has come up with. The last two Summerlicious menus disappointed me a little--they felt a bit uninspired, with dishes like the vegetable curry and croquette. This year, however, the creativity is back, and I'd happily recommend Lee's Summerlicious menu again. Fried Wild Cod The crispy cod is served in an edible crispy rice basket, making it feel like sharing bread at the start of the meal. The fish is fried perfectly with a crisp exterior and moist, flaky interior. Paired with Thai sweet chili sauce, it's light, flavorful, and great for sharing. Gazpacho Picante A refreshing take on gazpacho. The avocado gives it a smoother texture, while the hint of spice adds another layer without overpowering the chilled tomato soup. Refreshing and a great appetizer. BBQ Jerk Pork Ribs Three generous ribs--almost a main course on their own. The meat is tender while still retaining a bit of bite, similar to the texture of slow-cooked jerk chicken. The jerk seasoning is excellent, coating every bite with rich, aromatic spices. Pan Roasted Salmon The salmon is beautifully cooked with a nicely caramelized exterior while remaining juicy inside. Each accompaniment brings something different: the olive tapenade is deeply savory, the parsnip purée is smooth and slightly sweet, the lima bean adds a creamy, nutty richness, and the lemon-tomato-pepper vinaigrette brightens everything with acidity and a gentle kick. Lima Bean Succotash Probably the prettiest dish on the menu--and also the most unusual. The lima beans and peas are cooked until tender without becoming mushy. The flavors are layered, but there's a subtle bitterness throughout. After asking the chef, we learned it's the natural flavor of lima beans and was intentionally preserved as part of the dish. Fried Organic Chicken The fried chicken is juicy and tender, reminding me of Japanese karaage. It comes with two fun sauces: one is rich and spicy with a hint of coconut, while the other is a sweet pineapple-lime mayo that pairs surprisingly well with the chicken. The pandan rice, however, was fairly ordinary. The desserts are still classic Lee--beautifully plated, but the flavors are more restrained. We tried the Rhubarb Almond Frangipane Tart, Lemon Mousse Panna Cotta (our favorite), and Strawberry Raspberry Monkey Bread. This year's Summerlicious reminded me why I fell in love with Lee in the first place.

I also highly recommend the wine paring they suggest having with the salad :) Everything else on the menu was done really well. The cheeseburger spring roll was quite unique, Indo think there could've been more texturally inside the actual spring roll, it was all mush in there. Very nice ambiance, service were very attentive, I had a great time and will be back to try more items :)

The general manager and server warmly greeted us and checked up on us several times. The way they took care of us throughout the meal felt like a friend who was personally hosting us in their home. They also took the time to really explain each dish and how to best enjoy it, which I appreciated. Overall, the food definitely didn't disappoint. As someone who is sensitive to salt, I was most impressed by how every dish was perfectly seasoned (not over-seasoned with salt, sugar, and msg). Each dish tasted carefully crafted to let the ingredients shine. Betel Leaf - super fresh and aromatic flavours, really wakes up the taste buds. This is a small bite though so it's gone quick. Mushroom Dumplings - my understanding is that this is a seasonal vegetarian item but it deserves a place on the permanent menu. This was hands-down the best dish of the night. I will dream about and salivate over this dish. The brown butter sauce on the mushroom filling in the dumpling (almost like a ravioli), and truffle + cheese... my gosh, it's a flavor explosion! So decadent and rich, and seasoned to perfection. We licked the plate clean - it was THAT good. Sweet & Sour Pork Hock - the pork was so tender and soft. Again, seasoned well and very balanced. The pickled radish and peppers cut through the fat nicely between bites. I wish there were more of those radish pieces! Octopus Tacos - really smoky and well-cooked octopus, and interesting textures! I was not expecting the shell/wrap to be a vegetable! I enjoyed it and the dish felt lighter/healthier. Big Mac Bao - honestly, save your money on this one. It was good but it's exactly what you'd expect? Tastes like a Big Mac with a Bao bun rather than a regular bun. I just don't understand why someone would order this for $11 and it's pretty small. Duck Bokkeum - this was interesting! As a Korean, I appreciated the Korean twist. The duck was cooked textbook and everything was well-executed. I just don't think I'm a smoked duck person. I like Peking duck. I felt like the smokiness was a little overpowering for my own preferences and I got a little tired of the flavor after several bites. That said, the vegetables on this dish are superb and add great dimension and textures! If you like smoked duck, try it! If you're not a fan, save the $62 and spend it on something else! Aloe Sake Sorbet - a beautiful finish and palate cleanser to a wonderful meal. Very refreshing. You can taste both the sake and the aloe. PARKING NOTE: There's a garage right across the street on the same side as DaiLo that offers very affordable parking. Would recommend parking there!

With prices of an upscale dining restaurant, the service didn't feel like it matched up; it was fairly mediocre. Food was a bit of a hit or miss for us too.. Shrimp toast: fun, good texture, could taste the oiliness stronger than I expected. Paired well with the emulsion. Fun guo: super tasty, quite greasy though. I typically don't order fun guo but the texture was a delight to eat. Pork & crab siu mai: this felt like it lacked identity, not really sure I saw the vision. It just felt like curry on a siu mai lol Iberico cha siu: beautiful cut, perfectly tender, good savouriness, no complaints. R&D fried rice: my biggest letdown. Maybe my expectations were set to high. For a house special, I would expect a solid crowd-pleaser. Having each bite feeling mostly like 'crunch' is not what I think of as fried rice nor a favourite for most people. My ideal fried rice focuses on the grains of rice, with substantial bite and flavour in each spoonful. The flavour was most definitely there, don't get me wrong but it was extremely hard to eat more than a bowl. The redeeming qualities were in the flavour and cute little mushroom garden concept. If they had maybe 2x the amount of rice for the ratio of toppings and crunch, I would say this is a delicious and near perfect fried rice. Not bad, but a hefty price tag for a meal that I had really high hopes for.
