Affordable prices and tasty. Got a bunch of apps to share. The fried blood sausage had a great texture. The rose tteokbokki was delicious and we added fried chicken for only a few dollars. Kimchi pancakes was just okay, nothing grand to review about. The space looks newly renovated and have ample seating. read more

Came here for a quick bite after work with a friend. We both got the spicy soon tofu soup (one seafood and one vegetable) and it came with 4 banchan. The corn was really sweet! The soup was okay but the veggie came with a bit too much onions. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Good location next to an Hmart and with nearby street parking options but have had better Korean standards elsewhere. Ban Chan consisted of 3 options, Kim Chi which was flavourful but not spicy, mung bean sprouts and cold sweet corn salad. Rice was purple rice versus standard white which was a nice surprise and staff was able to mute the spice level of a soup noodle for our table. Pork meat was super stringy tough and dry but noodles were a great chew. Seafood pancake was greasy and lacking seafood and accompanying dipping sauce was so salty wihj no flavour. Staff was very attentive and polite but food just didnt hit the mark for us. In an area with so many other Kotean options I hope this was just an off night and we chose wrong items, because this was a little sub par. read more

Casual Korean restaurant with traditional dishes. It was pretty quiet on Christmas evening, but service was lacking and slow. We got the hot pot gamjatang (pork bone and potato soup) and kampungki (fried boneless chicken with sweet and sour sauce). This was a good portion for 4 people, both were so delicious. The gamjatang came with two bowls of purple rice. My only complaint was the side dishes were very mediocre/small and it took a long time to refill them. Overall it's a solid, affordable choice. read more

Auto tip of 15% for tables of 5 or more. This was mentioned at the beginning verbally, so I suppose we did consent to it. During check out, they forgot about the auto tip, but after we counted our coins and bills and went to settle, they realized their mistake and went and recalculated the bill with the auto tip. Pretty annoying, especially since it's not a particularly large dining area and it took effort just to call someone over for water or sides. The food is mixed ratings: kimchi fried rice was fantastic, donkatsu came out not warm. But auto grat for groups of 5 or more just seems ridiculous. Especially if they forget their own policy but can't let it go. 10% cash discount though. read more

Great late night delicious eats. Came here late in the evening for dinner and was highly satisfied with the food. (Tip: the front door needs to be yanked really hard to open, I almost thought they were closed since it was so late in the night). Staff are friendly and attentive, especially since there weren't that many diners in the restaurant. Food! Rose tteokbokki 10/10 - Maker sure to ask them to add glass noodles to this, it makes it 10x better. It's creamy, with a thick rose sauce with perfectly cooked chewy rice cakes. It's packed with flavour and so satisfying. Must get! Army Stew 8/10 - Stove top stew for sharing with the table. Was quite surprised that the liquid they pour into the pot was water rather than some sort of broth. But it was still delicious and really hit the spot with the sausage meats. Great for sharing! Bossam 10/10 - Loved the pieces of boiled pork bellya nd their sauces were top notch. Cabbage quickly blanched to perfection. Kimchi radish, ssamjang and garlic to top your bossam with was the cherry on top! Ask for additional garlic slices, you'll thank me later ;) Can't wait to come back for more rose tteokbokki. Still thinking about it while I'm writing this review. YUM read more

Yonge & Finch Korean Staple - known for their decent late night food Parking Situation: Street Parking available, Free after 10PM Decent food for decent prices. Small hole in the wall situation with a small selection of Korean staple cuisine. Service: Restaurant was not "busy" but there were a few tables seated with us, lots going on and when we we ready to order they came quickly. Food arrived fairly quickly for a Friday night at 9PM Rating: 4/5 What we ordered: Rosé Tteokbokki Budae Jiggae Bossam (5/5) Rosé Tteokbokki: Creamy, cheesy, warm, hot, a little sweet, a little salty, a good alternative to spicy rice cakes if you're not into spice, has a good combination of flavors that melt together (3/5) Budae Jiggae - Typical army stew, has all your main ingredients, instant ramyeon, spam, cucumbers, tofu, mushrooms, spring onion, rice cakes, two types of sausages, the broth was a little salty for my taste but overall not bad. During my last sips of the broth it was a little better, however still needed to drink lots of water after the whole experience. *Also comes with two bowls of purple rice (4/5) Bossam: Decent portion for 4 people, good amount of ssamjang and sauce with jalapenos and garlic, flavor wise I did not find it have the "porky" flavor, overall I'd get it again, good color and texture to the pork, enough fattiness and a little sweet. Good pairing with the ssamjang and well balanced flavors. Ambience: Hole in the wall type of restaurant, the restaurant has been here for many years, it carries a bright space with the color scheme, don't expect anything fancy, it is a very low-key casual spot to hang out, chill, have some good food and some good drink (if it is that kind of night). The food will hit the spot. Overall 4/5, I have been coming here for many years and hope they stick around. read more

This is the first time I come back since pandemic. They have changed all seating from tradition seating to all table. I wish the keep the tradition seating but I understand this change will give them more seat. Service was amazing as a 24 /7 restaurant. The server was very attentive to us. The pork bone soup is so far my favorite on Yonge. It doesn't have potato chunks but you can taste them in the soup. The soup is complex with miso and hot chilli paste. Bone is fall out from meat. Well balance. The sausage is my favorite on Yonge Street, you can taste meal , glass noodle rice and some liver. Most other restaurants can only taste the liver and rice. The pork soup contains intestines. I love it but not everyone taste. You can see they have spend time on the soup, you can taste the sweetness of the meat. Not just salty and msg. read more

The service was pretty slow around 8pm on a weekday evening. The restaurant was freezing. We had our jackets on the entire time, along with a few other tables. I ordered the single serving army stew, on the menu it said it came with noodle. When it arrived, it didn't have any noodle. When I asked the server she shrugged/no apologies, and said it doesn't come with noodle.... She even grabbed the menu, and I pointed out it says noodles. I paid $18 spam and sausage soup that merely filled me up. I was also really looking to noodles so this ruined my whole dinner experience. The kimchi fried rice was really good though. I would probably order this again for take out. read more

First time grabbing take out at this spot. Pretty smooth process as they accept online ordering and it would be ready in 20 mins pick up only. Cash has a 10% discount and they accept card as well. Ordered a pork bone soup and some grapefruit soju /makgeolli (korean rice wine) upon pick up the staff were super friendly and even gave me some deep friend korean dumplings on the house along with two cans of pop! The pork bone soup had 3 pieces of pork bone that were filled with meat and one piece of potato. Broth was pretty good, could be a bit more spicy (just a personal preference). Loved that it came with purple rice and 3 different side dishes which were potatoes, kimchi and seaweed. Overall price for the soup was $10.99 before tax read more

I love that they have some more appetizers & menu choices compared to other Korean restaurants. They have Bossam (steamed pork belly) & Assorted Soondae (blood sausage) which are not always present in similar establishments. The dining space is also properly curated to match the Korean theming. What broke the overall dining experience was that the expense and pricing for everything were always thrown at your face. Right at the beginning, they mention the mandatory service charge percentage needed for our group and ask if you agree to the terms. Another instance later on was when we asked refills for their complementary appetizers. They mentioned either the refill was extra charge or the refill after the 1st one after. I know of other places where the appetizers are All You Can Eat. read more

This is one of the best Korean food in Koreatown by far. They offer consistent and great tasting food no matter what day or time you go. I especially admire their customer service. Their servers are all very attentive, and always there to answer any questions. The ambiance is the typical Korean restaurant with K-pop music playing on the TV and depending on the time of day it can get a bit but not too crazy. read more

Wandered in since the restaurant we were planning to go to was jam packed, and I have to say we were pleasantly surprised! Seafood pancake: one of the best I've had. Most restaurants have batter that's too dense. Lim Ga Ne's is great. Fried boneless sweet soy chicken: lovely flavour and nice batter. Portion was too small though for $23 Pork bone soup: good, but Owl is still my favourite by far Cold noodles: good flavour. Could have had more ingredients but still very enjoyable, especially when it's 33C out Side dishes: good variety, loved the kimchi I'll be back for sure! read more

Came here a few time over the years for takeout and dine in and haven't been disappointed yet. Most recently, we did takeout and ordered through their website. We did their Sunday pick up special which was 4 soups and an order of spicy stir fried pork for $55 plus tax. Great value and fed 4 of us happily! We got pork bone and ox bone soups which was flavourful and hot. The spicy pork was also delicious. This set came with 3 sides which was on the small side for 4 people and no rice which we just made ourselves. Only comment we had was that there's a also 4 soup set for $35 which meant that the pork was $20. We felt it was pricey for the portion size, although still a deal since ordering that dish separately was around $23-24. Overall, a great choice for Korean food in the area! read more

Good place for Korean late night AM eats. Love how they're open so late at night (they're actually decently busy even past midnight!). Clearly on a dumpling craving... we ordered the Fried Mandu and Rice cake + Mandu Soup. The Fried Mandu were good - fried fresh and served with a vinegar soy sauce dip. The soup was alright - it's filled with mushrooms, mandu, rice cakes, egg, and beef slices. The mandu get overly mushy though after being boiled to death in the soup; tbh kinda gets rly gross after eating one or two. Eat it fast while trying not to boil your tongue in the soup LOL. Price is comparable to other Korean restaurants. Despite it being late at night and it being quite busy, service was decent. It was a bit hard to flag someone down to pay the bill but other than that they were fine. read more

While I used to be a fan and frequenter, this place can in recent days only be best described as trash service delivering less-than-mediocre food. Ordered 2 orders of gamjatang by Uber Eats and had to remind them not to omit potato as they left it out the last 4 times. This time they failed to deliver rice with BOTH gamjatang orders, then just decided not to pick up a series of calls I put through to the restaurant to ask them for rice - see attached. Ended up having to make my own at home while the soup got cold. These people are garbage pretty much all around (I have seen firsthand times where they seated white ppl who just arrived instead of Chinese ppl who had been waiting longer) - we hope you go out of business ASAP. Never ordering from here again, so many other places in the area that do better. The kimchi also sucked. read more

This is one of those places that's been around seemingly forever and knows it too...in all the good ways and bad ways. Good, because: the food is delicious (think traditional Korean comfort food), portions and prices are equally excellent, dishes come out fast and service is super efficient. Bad, because: the interior and decor has clearly not been updated in a very long time, the side dishes are a miss, and service quality is rather poor. We asked for a refill of the banchan, then for more water, and were basically ignored both times lol. The waitress managed to hear us asking for the bill though, luckily. I would essentially think of this restaurant as a well-established semi-fast food joint that you can hit up for cravings anytime (open 24/7!!!). Guaranteed to satisfy your stomachs, and who cares about the rest. read more

Late night dining here! This place was packed at 10pm. And the sign said they are open 24 hrs so another great spot to eat at Yonge/Finch. Lots of choices on the menu: a-la carte, noodles, rice, table cooking-a lot better than a late night pizza! The atmosphere here was very rushed and busy (everyone was running around serving tables and the food was quite good. read more

I returned to this restaurant after that first visit in May 2014, nearly five years prior. (This speaks highly of their staying power in an industry that is ever-changing and challenging.) Lim Ga Ne is one of three restaurants in the Yonge and Finch intersection that is open for 24 hours, which makes it convenient to enjoy authentic Korean food at any time of the day (or night). This was exactly why I chose to return to Lim Ga Ne to catch up with a friend since I was on a schedule and needed a restaurant that was open for early lunch. We met up here at 10:30 a.m. on a Sunday for our early lunch, and I wasn't surprised at all when I was the first one to walk into the empty restaurant. The owner served me some hot tea while I waited for my friend. The place hadn't changed much except that they don't have the floor seating anymore. All of the tables and chairs are of the regular kind. We had a feast here and every single one of the dishes we ordered was delicious! I especially adored the Korean Style Pancake with Kimchi (one of the best I've ever had!). It was nicely fried, not too greasy, and slightly tangy and spicy from the kimchi. I also liked how they served a regular pancake as part of the banchan too. We had a small order of the Assorted Korean Style Sausages (MoDum SoonDae). They were delicious. Apparently, sundae (or soondae) are a type of traditional Korean blood sausages with glass noodles and sweet rice inside of it. Since it's not pure meat inside of the sausage, it was easy to eat lots of it since it wasn't too heavy. Along with the Korean style sausages, there were some other cuts of steamed offals (liver and lung) on the plate too. Sundae sausages are usually served with these offals in South Korea. The Sliced Sirloin Beef marinated in Special Sauce came with a bowl of purple rice. This is a pretty standard Korean beef dish that goes so well with rice. The beef was a tad sweet due to the sauce. The Dukbokki has stir-fried rice cake sticks, fishcake, and vegetables with hot pepper. We had ramen added to it too. It was definitely spicy, and my friend loved it. It was such a great Korean feast, and I'd definitely return to Lim Ga Ne again in the future. read more

Came here with a friend because Huh Ga Ne was packed one night. The food here was average. My friend had the DwenJangChiGae. I had the SoonTofu stew (comes w seafood), but I've had others with a lot more flavour so this was was just okay. We also ordered a seafood pancake to share and it was delish! All the banchans were delicious, but the kimchi was a bit lack for me. Wouldn't mind coming back to try other items. read more

Not bad for a wholesome homey meal. Most of the dishes are a bit more expensive than the rest of Koreatown but portions, are somewhat larger? There seems to be a bit more variety in side dishes too, but personally I think they don't taste as good as many of the other Korean restaurants nearby. Would return but probably only for GamJa Tang ~ read more

I have been craving Korean food, and my sister and I decided to give this place a try out of the numerous Korean restaurants in the vicinity. The service was unwelcoming, soulless, and curt--sign of an authentic Korean restaurant with awesome-tasting food. We ordered the KamJaTang soup (spicy soup with pork on bone and potato) and BoSsam (steamed sliced pork). The KamJaTang soup was flavorful and not too spicy with plenty of meat on the bones. The BoSsam was also delicious: the meat didn't smell, and the radish kimchi and Korean lettuce on the side were awesome. The portions were also generous, and we were very full at the end of our meal for only a little over $30. read more

Food is great and generous, packagings are great, easy to handle and disinfect. I also received free fried shrimps which were in great quality. I'm picky with my food and very busy, I will only comment if it really impressed me. I was hesitating about putting this information here because the free food and side dishes will cost them a lot. Hope whoever read this comment will not complain if they stopped offering those. I ordered from chain restaurants and they stopped giving side dishes long time ago. I can truly see the work that the owner is putting into the business during the tough times. read more

Use to be one of my favs but not any longer. Had dinner here a while back with a friend and ordered bibimbap with a bottle of soju. Got carded by the server (thanks for the compliment). Lol Towards the end of the meal we were informed that there is a limit to the side dishes and for that alone I wont be back. We might have ordered another soju bottle but we felt like they were rushing us. With so many other competing restaurants, I will definitely be checking out other options in the area. Never heard of a side dish limit till then. Annyeonghi gyeseyo! read more

A decent Korean food joint in Korean town Toronto The inside decor is pretty good, with "kneeling tables" on one side that looked pretty neat, as well as a TV playing korean drama, which the wait staff was watching when they were on break :) The food is pretty good as well--the pork bone soup had large pieces of pork bones, and the "snack dishes" they give out at the start are also pretty tasty--the free pancakes at the start didn't hurt either :) Overall, a decent Korean food joint in North Ktown read more

Looking for food after Yelp's First Open Event at Hotel Ocho landed us here at Lim Ga Ne. I just walked into the restaurant randomly as my Yelp friend was hungry.. and he wants MEAT... and Lim Ga Ne was the first restaurant that we walked by that was opened...... I wanted to sit on the elevated floor seating with my legs up, shaking like one of those Korean guys. But my friend said no way because he is so stiffed and he could never sit cross-legged.. (now now.. I have to ask him to join me for some intense yoga practise and definitely that can be fix!!). Reluctantly I got stuck with one of the boring traditional western style seating... Meat.. yes you can get Meat here.. and he never like cooking himself so Korean BBQ is out..and he was really happy with his: Sliced Beef with Marinated in Special Sauce ($13) - It tasted ok.. it must be since he just ate the whole thing... by himself... but he has quite a bit to drink. and hungry - Personally, I found it lack the sizzling, bubbly, steamy hot vibe.. but what I know about hot... he is the expert as he always looking for HOT chicks! I want some comfy food that would offset the crazy night I have at Yelp's event so I decided on: Spicy Beef in Broth ($9) - which I ordered extra spicy.. was not spicy... served in a "WARM" stone pot was definitely disappointing... - Beef was the brisket type which I found them dry.. and chewy.... The sides too were not too good... Plenty but not good...... maybe I should have drink more at the event? I probably won't be back to Lim Ga Ne, as there are so many Korean restaurants in the area! read more

Lim Ga Ne serves up authentic Korean food and what's notable is that they are open 24/7. As such, this restaurant probably values quick service over quality service as the food is so accessible any time of the day. Here's my rundown: Food: Dolsot BiBimBap - This was assorted vegetables with beef and egg on a stone hot pot with special spicy sauce. The portions are very good in my opinion when compared to other Korean restaurants around the area. The combination of the spicy sauce with the bibimbap was amazing and definitely up there in terms of the bibimbap dishes I've had at Korean dishes. Although I do like my rice at the bottom to be more crispy and burnt but this wasn't much of a big deal. Very filling dish and the flavours were great! Side dishes - I felt that the side dishes were a miss. Normally I'm a huge fan of fishcakes, kimchi and the sweetened potatoes but the fishcakes were bland, the kimchi didn't have the nice acidity to them that I'm so used to having and the sweetened potatoes were a little mushy. Though I can't really complain here because the side dishes were complimentary, but the side dishes missed their mark when comparing it to other nearby Korean restaurants. Atmosphere: The place felt a bit cramped and the decor hasn't been updated in a long time. Good for social gatherings with friends and casual hangouts but if you're looking for a place that's a little more fancy, I wouldn't recommend this place. Service: I get that it's a 24/7 restaurant so the quality of service may have been compromised. I could see some burnout from the employees and at times, they would either ignore our requests or not seem very inviting when bringing out the dishes. The servers were focused on providing the fastest possible service, which makes sense for a 24/7 restaurant. However, I found it funny because we came in a large group (10 people) and whenever an order came out, they would just place it at the end of the table and expect us to know what dish it was, which added to the confusion since some of us ordered dishes without knowing what it looked like (ordered based off of the worded description in the menu). Customer service is definitely not the restaurant's strong suit, but the food did come out pretty fast for our big group so that's a plus. Price: I paid $12.99 for the bibimbap which is pretty good for dinner! They have a lunch and dinner price for the bibimbap as well so I'm not sure if the portions would be different for lunch. The rest of the other menu items are pretty decently priced for the portions you get. Verdict: If you're looking for quick and decent priced eats, Lim Ga Ne is the place for you; however, if you value service over the quality of food then you might be a little irritated by the service as the servers are focused on providing the fastest possible service which often times, compromises the quality of service. It's great that this restaurant is 24/7 so if you're about the nightlife, need to grab some quick eats, and don't care too much about the service then this is the place for you! read more

How was the food? The food was great, I have no complaints. Although if you do order the steamed pork feet with vegetables like I did, I recommend you go with at least 2 people and order a soju with it. Better you go with 3 people and also add in a soup dish like I did, the soup balances out the pork nicely. The way I recommend you to eat the pork dish is that you take a piece of it, put a bit of kimchi, and one other of your select side dishes, wrap it in lettuce leave and, add in the garlic and jalapeño if you like it, dip it in the sauce they provided you with and take it in one bite, I find this to be the best way to eat it. Can't wait to try out other dishes on the menu, especially the hot pot ones. How is the experience? Since the restaurant opens 24/7, it immediately seems more attractive to me. This is definitely a good replacement for the owl. How is the service? Their service is okay. Would I recommend? Yes. read more

Placed a couple orders during Covid-19. We ordered GamJa Tang- pork bone soup, Kampungi- sweet and sour chicken and received free fries dumplings. In addition we ordered kimchi and radish on the side. They were diligent with our notes as I am allergic to pineapple and sometimes they use pineapple. The kimchi was tasty. However, radish was not crunchy as expected. The portion with the pork bone soup was not bad. read more

Visiting friend in the nearby community over the weekend, the place we originally want to have dinner had a long line, have to wait 45-60 mins. Stop by this restaurant instead, still wait about 15 minutes. We ordered sea food hot pot and came along with some samplers. They had clam, blue carb, shrimp and fish (don't know the name, has skin and bones, but tasty) mixed with other rice noodle and veges. The quantities were enough for two of us. The crab meat is a bit off the odor, but rest is fine. Service is average as so many customers and keep coming. We passed by 12 am, still lots of people, it's amazing. read more

FOOD: I had a Tofu seafood soup. I realized quickly that I'm not a "tofu seafood" type of guy. I found it tasted bland in comparison to pork bone soup or something similar. However, the sides were amazing and super tasty. I would consider going to back to try something else on the menu. Prices are low across the board. Meal + HST + tips would still be under $10. Mind you, this strip of Yonge St is full of Korean restaurants. Every restaurant faces stiff competition, so you end up benefiting from great food and great service at most places in that area. STAFF: Friendly and courteous. Some writers don't speak English very well, but younger ones typically have a good command of the English language. read more
