The restaurant is small but it wasn't too busy when we got there at 6pm. The food was good as usual. The Gamjatang pork bone soup was meaty and rich broth. You are able to ask for less spicy soup. The kalbi ribs were good but would have liked a better sear on the ribs. The donkatsu was crispy and you can add your katsu sauce from a bottle. Overall a great dinner they do charge automatic service charge for larger groups.

What I recommend, is the cheese corn, the portion size for this was decent. It comes hot , with cheese melting with each pull. In terms of fried chicken, we got the boneless chicken, which is dark meat. The flavours Honey Garlic Yangnyeom was my favourite. Perfectly fried and enough sauce that eat bite is flavourful. We also did get the spicy chilli, this has a kick to it. Rosé Tteokbokki, this creamy rose sauce was the best pairing to go with the chicken. I really enjoyed this. The service was quick and efficient, they were very nice too. Overall, highly recommend checking it out

Their delicious KamJaTang Jeongol, aka Korean Pork Bone Soup, and their BBQ Pork Chops, are perfect for warming you up. Dining with my aunt and uncle, we had the large version of the soup, served in a big pot on a burner at the table. It was loaded with lots of meat, potatoes, vegetables, and tons of flavour. As good as it was, it was more than we could finish so they topped up the soup and we took home the leftovers. The pork chops were served on a sizzling platter, nice and hot. It was delicious! We barely managed to finish this one. Both dishes were perfect for the cold weather, and included rice and traditional side dishes - kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radishes, and pickled cucumbers. As usual, the service was excellent - friendly and efficient. They also offer a 10% discount for paying cash. Check them out at Kingston Rd and Liverpool, in Pickering.

We stopped in for a late lunch during the week and I was surprised at the amount of people there. I…read moreguess it just shows how good this restaurant is. I came specifically for pork bone soup and my husband opted for the bibimbap. Both dishes were delicious, well prepared and presented beautifully with ample serving size. There is a fair amount of seating at this restaurant and I have no doubt it fills up quickly during the evening. The service was excellent and will definitely have to come back soon.

I went to Miga while I was back in town. The exterior was decorated with halloween decors which I…read morefound cute. I love that they always have eye-catching decorations. Walking in, we were greeted with a smile. The interior of the restaurant was spacious with a private feel since they had areas sectioned off from one another. We ordered the Japchae (5/5), Boneless Yangnyum Galbi (4/5), Pork Belly (4/5). Japchae was delicious with a hint of smokey flavour to it. The noodles were chewy and complemented well with the savoury flavours of bulgogi. The vegetables added a nice crunch to every bite. The mushrooms added a chewy and fun texture to the dish. Boneless Yangnyum Galbi was so tender. Its marinade was on the sweet side which we weren't really a fan of but we still enjoyed the dish. Pork Belly was also tender. It was thinly sliced which was quite a let down since we typically prefer pork belly sliced a bit thicker. The BBQ we ordered came with two bowls of rice and lettuce (non-refillable), ssamjang and sesame oil with black pepper and salt for dipping, and some side dishes that were refillable: kimchi, bean sprouts, cucumbers and sweet potato. The overall quality of the ingredients, especially the meats, were great. It was pretty telling how much the cooks enjoyed prepping and cooking the dishes. This place is on the pricier side which is reasonable for the quality of their food. The portions are also reasonable for their price-points. I'd come back on a special occasion and/or when I'm craving japchae. The servers we had were attentive, checking in every so often to clear our dishes and change our grills.

The meat was really flavourful and well-seasoned, and they've got a big variety of cuts to choose from. I also liked that they've also got veggie options and other sides that make the meal feel balanced. The ambience is really nice too, kind of chill but still lively, and they've got these cute lights outside. Service was great, the staff were super kind and really quick to help us out whenever we needed something. It's a little on the pricier side, but honestly that's pretty standard for Korean BBQ, and the quality here makes it worth it. Easily in my top 3 Korean BBQ spots in Mississauga.

And Seoul House does fulfill on this. I only wish there was a little more beef on it. The Banchan assortment they provide is also very good. I love the Oi muchim cucumber - the flavor profile is much more enjoyable for me in comparison to a kimchi (Which is still great, don't get me wrong) and their kimchi jeon was pretty tasty too. I met a fellow yelper there recently for the first time sitting down in the restaurant. In the past I'd only ever ordered take out which was always good. Sitting down and eating was much better. For a weekend, they weren't too busy, which was a little discouraging, but I'll blame in on a rather cold and blustery weather we had. Seoul House is a must if you're in the mood for some really good dolsot bibimbap - and an assortment of other Korean specialties!

With the first visit clearly in our minds my cousin and I were a bit skeptical but wanted to give them a second chance to redeem themselves. We went in the early afternoon on a weekday and there weren't any other customers waiting in line or for orders. We ordered the cheese dog and this time we had the hot dog in our hands in less than 5 minutes. This was a vast improvement from the first time. We got the spicy sauce to go with it. Turns out the spicy sauce is not spicy at all. It just tased like flavoured mayo. The cheese in the hot dog was nice and gooey and almost filled up completely.
