    Mom's Kitchen is a busy restaurant serving tasty Korean food. Big portions. Good value. Three locations to choose from are in Unionville, Ajax and Oshawa. Our favourites are their bibimbap, fried dumplings, seafood pancake and seaweed roll are our favourites. Banchan can only be refilled once.

    Mom's Kitchen is promising. I tried the jap chai (Korean glass noodles with daikon, seaweed, and kimchi), and it was just okay, lacking flavor and texture. The lunch special is the main draw. For $13.99 from 11-3, you get a good portion at a solid price. The food could use more seasoning, but it is still a decent value overall. I would totally go back to try the other lunch specials on the menu. There's a cash discount as well.

    Food was decent, I liked that you can adjust spice levels. I love that they have potatoes in this soup to really soak up the soup. Also, that soup was delicious!! I like that you can order the egg to be over hard my dad got this and said he liked it. It's his goto! Service was nice. They were so attentive and gave us extra napkins. I do have to say though... They're ALL butter fingers. They dropped things over 5 times on the floor and I saw them put at least 2 of those things back into the clean basket (red) to wipe down and serve. Good thing we sanitize all our utensils everywhere before using them. Vibes are casual. Come in sweatpants. I love their 2000s rnb playlist that they had going.

    Came for their lunch special. I got the bibimbap and it was a large stone pot with purple rice, with all the ingredients. It was very tasty and I loved how the rice on the bottom got crispy. My cousin got the pork katsu and that was pretty good too. I saw a lot of people getting the spicy pork, I'll prob try that next time. The price was good $13.99 for the lunch, the side dishes were okay, nothing memorable. Decent place here if you are craving Korean food.

    Was craving some Korean food and wanted to try this place. Restaurant wasn't too busy on a work day evening, and even then service was slow. Sullantang - Broth was creamy, but felt like a instant noodle package. There was also very little beef in the broth. Ultimately, I don't think the soup had the body I'd expect from a beef broth. A bit disappointing, would not recommend. Side dishes were only ok. Would not come again.

    The restaurant was so busy that we had to wait for 15 mins. It has decorated for Halloween inside already. They survived from the Covid, then we could tell they must be so good. The price was only a bit increased and it was understandable because of the inflation. I love their traditional Pork Bones soup with rice, then my husband got their beef stone bowl. They came really fast and the side dishes were nice too. But the Pork Bones were not as much as before, this time only 3 pieces. Lucky that I was not a big man to have a lot. The beef stone bowl was tender and tasty. And it keeps it warm for a long time. Pretty cool. We like this restaurant so much and definitely come back later.

    Cozy spot, amazing food! Tried this spot for the first time 2 years ago, parking lot sucks, it's very busy and sometimes a little out of control. Recently took my niece and nephew there for their first time. I didn't include pics of what they ordered as they were too far across the table, and everyone was hungry. Flavours are always delicious, and price is fantastic compared to other Korean spots. Service is as expected of an Asian resto, quick, no nonsense, but still pleasant if you need anything. This location has charge on takeout boxes if you don't finish your food, and also tip is added on for large parties. They are posted all over the redtaurant. The staff was very worried we would be upset by that when she told us, so I guess other people have made a huge stink about it.

    Cute little Korean resto in the Langham Square plaza. It's located on the upper outdoor lot, where parking is usually limited. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the food was served relatively quick. We ordered the Army stew, pork katsu set, and the pan fried dumplings. The army stew came out hot and bubbling. I appreciated that I could choose the level of spiciness as not all Korean restos give you this choice. The pan fried dumplings were nice and juicy, though it looked and tasted more like deep fried dumplings. The katsu was good, but a bit on the thinner side. We didnt get as much variety of aide dishes as we would at other Korean restos but the side dishes we did get were delicious. Prices were reasonable so will be back to try the other items from the menu!

    Moms kitchen never fails the food is always so good. Second time here the service is always nice the servers are helpful in answering questions. The environment is nothing fancy just regular tables and booth seating on the other side.

    Tastes like chinese made korean food lol. Fried chicken is a bit dry. The staff are nice alright . The Atmosphere is a small but they get busy so it gets tight.

    Spicy tofu
    Julia L.

    Have been wanting to try this place for so long!! First of all, the service is always great. The workers there are so kind and very attentive. They will check in on you occasionally to make sure you have anything you need. The restaurant layout itself is pretty small but not too small that you're so close to others beside you. As for the food, I've been on the hunt for a good black bean noodle in Markham. This wasn't the best but it was pretty good! Second runner up from my all time favourite black bean noodle. 4/5 We also tried the spicy tofu. It was pretty spicy but loved it!! The seasoning wasn't too heavy and it was yummy. I'm not the biggest fan of tofu so don't take my word for this. 3.5/5 Lastly, we got the seafood pancake. It was also good! There's a mix of veggies and eggs within the pancake. I only had a bit of it but every single bite I had had an onion. It could've been just that section of the pancake. The outside was crispy which made it delicious! 3.8/5. My family LOVED it though. Their rating: 4/5 The short ribs were pretty good. Not the best I've had but loved how easy they were to cut into. Sometimes I have to fight to remove the meat from the bone. I wish there was slightly more sauce/flavour on it. 3.8/5

    Chicken boneless
    Jahleel C.

    My new favourite Korean restaurant! I ordered takeout to take home for my family and did not get disappointed. The boneless chicken was JUICY and the right crisp! The gimbap was delicious but fell apart at times. Pork bone soup was EXTRA SPICY. I guess it's not for the weak at all. The chicken katsu was absolutely out of this world! It wasn't dry, it was the right crisp as well and perfect amount. It came with side dishes like seaweed, pickled yellow radish and dumplings. I will order here again for sure!

    Kimchi fries
    Vivian L.

    One of my favourite Korean spots in Markham. Staff are always so attentive and friendly to check up on you, refill water, offer refill on your side dishes (limited 1 time per table) and quick to notice you. Their food is always yummy. Honestly no complaints. The pork bone soup and cold noodles is a must try. Especially ordering vinegar on the side for the cold noodles, iykyk. I recently tried their kimchi fries and it was SO good! Crispy Cavendish fries (like Costco fries) and the creamy kimchi sauce was the perfect pairing!

    Never going to recommend. It seems like the restaurant doesn't show respect to the Pork bone soup or Seafood Pancake. Worst in Toronto.

    Service was good and food was delicious…read more We got fried rice and bulgogi, overall it was yummy! We got here at 5pm on a Sunday. It was only a couple of tables that had customers. Shortly after, the whole place got so packed! So I guess that's something to watch out for in terms of timing. I specifically preferred this place because of the location and good parking spot. Overall, I'd go back here again.

    Spicy Stir-Fried Squid and Pork Belly…read more I could hear the wok going absolutely crazy in the kitchen, so my expectations were high before the dish even arrived. It came out sizzling on the hot plate, with the oil still crackling. The pork belly was thick-cut but perfectly sized for one bite. The real surprise, though, was the squid. It had that firm, springy chew you get from grilled squid, but the flesh was also surprisingly thick and substantial. It felt like an indestructible little fighter that just wouldn't give up. Every bite turned into a tiny tug-of-war between my teeth and the squid, and I genuinely loved the texture. The shredded onion, zucchini, and carrot each added a different texture, with the zucchini especially helping cut through the richness. Almost every chopstickful had some meat plus two or three strips of vegetables. The ratio was pretty much perfect. It is on the expensive side, though. I checked Jindallae afterward and a similar dish there is around $22, making this one roughly 30% more expensive. A little disappointed that I didn't get the eggplant banchan I'd heard so much about. The side dishes I did get were simple and very home-style in their seasoning.

Service 10/10 - today they had 3-4 waiters/waitresses working so there was always somebody coming in to check if things needed refills. Our waiter (sorry the name is escaping me.) was a newer parttime worker but was providing us 10 out of 10 service!! Food - 10/10 we got alot more sides than normal today for our friends to try. The tteokbokki was nice and had a deep flavor. Not too spicy and not too sweet. Rice balls was nice and soaked up the tteokbokki sauce. This time we got the half half with spicy bossam and Bbq jokbal. They were both really good flavors. The store had kpop playing at a moderate volume.

We love how the sides are refillable but I don't think we ever ask for refills more than twice as the portion is so generous. Hanyang Jokbal has always been consistently good, and it's why we always come back. The portion of food is always plenty, the taste is unmatched and the sides are delicious. While the food took some time it was understandable as it was very busy. The waiter was very apologetic about the wait. In terms of the interior, it's just one more thing that makes this place such a good dining option. The interior makes you feel like you're not in Toronto. While it does get quite loud, I think it just shows how much people are enjoying the food and the vibe. Hanyang Jokbal is definitely a must!

We ordered the bossam, seafood pancake, and budae jeongol and the bill came to ~$100. The bossam was quite a large portion and the flavour was quite delicious. Our favourite item was the seafood pancake. We devoured that and if given a choice to only order one dish, I would definitely recommend the seafood pancake. The budae jeongol (as a solo dish) could easily feed two people. They pack the soup in two large circular soup-like takeout containers and the ingredients in a square container - same as the ones that the bossam and seafood pancake came in. There were plenty of tteokbokki, sausages, cabbage, and ramen noodles. We put the dish together in a wok and kept it heated on a portable induction cooktop. They gave four containers of banchan: fish cakes, japchae, radish kimchi, and mandu. My only complaint about this experience (4.5/5) was their inaccurate waiting time. I called in around 5 PM on a Wednesday to place my order and they quoted that the order would take around 20 to 25 minutes. I showed up ~30 mins after I called and they didn't have the food ready until 5:50/5:55 PM. I understand that they're busy, but I would have appreciated a more accurate wait time.

    My go to take out Korean food spot!…read more This spot is on Highway 7 between Kennedy and Warden. It's a take out spot only and has no tables for dine in. I usually call in advance to order and pick up. Things that I love the most: Pork bone soup 5/5 - So hearty and tasty. On the spicier side but a must get! I usually get their hot pot size of pork bone soup to share with others. It comes with lots of pork bones and a huge piece of potato. Bossom 5/5 - I love their bossom here. The only complain is that their bossom comes with lettuce rather than napa cabbage. Still super delicious though. Banchans 5/5 - Their kimchi is the best banchan they have. I often times also buy just their kimchi to take home as it's very garlicky, fresh and delicious. Spicy pork rice 3.5/5 - A good rice option, but I still prefer their soup better. Jajangmein 3.5/5 - Another one of those dishes that I can skip. Only get it so that we can have a variety saucey noodle dish. I can't recommend this spot enough. Make sure to get their kimchi! But also make sure to check your order before leaving. One time I was there, there was a flustered teenager working the front of house. Because I'm a regular there, I touched my order he handed to me and noticed there was no hot soup burning my hand while holding the take out bag. When I brought this up, the chef came out and also mentioned that he had forgotten to pack my two containers of soup. Thank goodness I checked. Unfortunately when I got home, I noticed that he also forgot to pack my two white rice that comes with my soup. So just make sure to double and triple check before leaving when you get your take out! Other than that, it's a solid 5/5 for me!

The broth wasn't very salty but still flavourful and once you let the peppers steep into the broth, they add a lovely spicy kick. Another substantial dish is the steamed pork bo saam ($49.99 for large) where slices of pork belly are kept warm on a hot plate. Diners tuck these soft meat slices into lettuce, Napa cabbage, and turnip with a smear of the savoury bean sauce for a protein packed bite. Our table was split about the haemui pa jeon ($28.99). The size of a medium pizza, it's made for a group. Personally, I found it way too thick and didn't contain enough ingredients to balance out the doughiness of the Korean style pancake. Conversely, my relatives preferred the heft as it contrasted the crispy exterior and soft interior. I guess it depends if you're a thin versus pan crust type of pizza lover. I'm firmly in the Neapolitan camp. I thoroughly enjoyed the crust that develops on the bottom of yachae dolsot bibimbap ($18.99). And the hot stone rice bowl contained a good combination of ingredients to ensure there was plenty of vegetables and beef to go around. De Chou's LA kalbi ($34.99) was rather neutral with very little sauce, so you mostly taste the beef. I personally would have preferred more sauce to help caramelize onto the beef ribs, but the older members of the family appreciated the plainness and liked that it was tender. This is a long review for the rest go to Gastro World.

    (3/5) De Chou Korean Restaurant - Lunch Review…read more We stopped by De Chou Korean Restaurant for lunch today since we happened to be nearby. The sign said it opens at 11:30 a.m., and true to their word, the doors opened exactly on time. The restaurant itself is quite large and impressively clean -- that was my first good impression. We originally went in because of the sign outside advertising Korean ginseng chicken soup, but when we asked the server, he told us it's no longer on the menu. A bit disappointing, especially since my wife wasn't feeling well and I thought that soup would've been perfect for her. We ordered two Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbaps ($21.99 each). The portion was decent, but the flavor was a bit bland and not salty enough for our taste -- overall I'd give it a 6/10. We also tried the Japchae ($13.99). Unfortunately, it was too greasy, a bit slimy, and overcooked -- about a 4/10 for me. They served five small side dishes, which were just average (5/10), and a small cup of noodle soup that was lukewarm and slightly sweet -- not to my liking, as I prefer savory over sweet in Korean food. The total came to $65.51 before tip, and we left a standard 15%. To be fair, by the time we finished lunch, there were quite a few tables filled, so maybe other dishes are better. But based on what we ordered today, the food didn't live up to the price. Would I go again? Probably not.

They were served with many sides and the cheesy corn was our personal favourite. Their other sides were also alright but again nothing too special. It was a very packed day so it was quite loud in the restaurant and we were almost yelling at each other from across the table, so if anyones looking for a more intimate spot, I'd go elsewhere. But again this is not their fault and is to be expected in larger popular places. It is a drinking spot too so that was the vibe they had with lots of chatter and fun bring had. Overall a decent spot for kbbq and I'd say go here more for the atmosphere more than just the food!
