    July 7, 2022 - My friends and I went here for dinner. The service was good and the staff was friendly. We ordered: Takoyaki 42 pc Sushi Sashimi and Roll Platter Bulgogi Dinner (Spicy) Kam Ja Tang Rice x 2 Sapporo Pitcher Everything was yummy, the sashimi was fresh. We felt that for the price the avocado rolls shouldn't have been there. (Switch it out for something different) but overall it was really good. Would definitely go back.

    Ordered Hot Stone Bowl Bulgogi BiBimBap and Spicy Tuna. Amazing! Came with miso soup, kimchi, bean sprouts, and glass noodles--all delicious. Best kimchi I've had in a while. If you like spicy Kimchi, there's is great! Waitress and hostess were very nice and attentive. Awesome overall experience.

    Visited this little restaurant at the behest of a friend I was visiting in the area and it was worthwhile. The service was amazing, the server took his time and explain the menu items that peaked my interest, which helped a lot. I would visit again as often as possible, happy dining.

    Nolbu is the newest Korean & Japanese Restaurant that just opens at near Yonge and Sheppard. The menu though a little predictable with the usual Sushi/Rolls, KamJaTang, Soon Tofu, BiBim Bap and more. But I found the food here is well prepared with quality ingredients. They have a Grand Opening Special till end of April if you want to go try some of the dishes alone or as a group for their hot pot! Soon Tofu with Seafood ($6.99 Grand Opening Pricing) was excellent. The tofu was really silky but the seafood, especially the squid was cooked without being rubbery at all! There are a few "free" parking spots in front of the restaurant but don't count on getting one. There is a municipal parking lot right next door or if you come after 9 pm, street parking is free. There is going to be Karaoke facilities in a month time or so... sounds like going to be a good night spot for some singing, soju and food!

    I wasn't hungry but the company I was with was hungry so I got something small. I asked for rice cakes and an add-on of cheese for $1. When the rice cakes cake, I did not expect to pay $1 for a slice of cheddar cheese. I laughed it off but didn't complain, it was not bad. I'd like them to add shredded cheese next time so it melts faster haha.

    Visited here last night with my girlfriend as we were planning to go to Nome but they were closing 2 hours early because it was a quiet night... Searching on yelp and realizing this place was just around the corner, I decided to give it a try! We had comfortable booth seating, service was good (even though we were asking for all sorts of customization to our plates) they still compromised considering it was 12:30AM... The sushi here I'd definitely agree is not "THE best" however it tastes fine, and with their menu variety, being opened late, can't expect too much. They specialize in a bunch of different sashimi dishes including flake, abalone, octopus, and much more. The oysters were fresh, they have $2 oyster nights advertised but you only get to choose Malpeques of which you'll notice "Marpeque" on their menu. It's a nice spot to go to when you want to have a variety of sushi, Korean, and drinks late at night!

    Their food is tasty I would recommend this place who want to try Korean food. Good location and nice seating. Service is little meh because server was not nice sometimes but I can see the owner chef is trying his best to customer so that is good thing. They have live flounder sashimi and seafood which I really enjoyed a lot. At the end of course spicy fish soup is coming I really liked that soup! Taste so nice and well done. I am not sure about the quality of their japanese sushi or roll but I am sure They are doing good job on Korean food. They have nice sapporo beer on tap which is good priced.

    Eh. Average Korean and seafood restaurant. Tried this place as a recommendation after we got rejected by Nome around the corner. It is a very spacious restaurant with a lot of lighting. We ordered a dozen oysters, a dynamite roll, and BBQ pork. The oysters were a lot smaller than expected, but tasted nice and fresh nonetheless. For $2 a pop, I wasn't sure if it was worth it to be honest. The oysters only come with Tabasco, cocktail sauce, and a few slivers of lemons. The dynamite roll was a pleasant surprise. The tempura was cooked nicely and the rice was a good texture. The BBQ Pork is expensive, but is a hefty amount. The sauce is sweet and spicy, but definitely needs to be spicier. It comes with a little lettuce on the side. All in all, a pretty average seafood and Korean place.

Hence we entered Jin Dai Lae. Good decision (yes, I am patting my back). Entree pricing was $3 to $4 lower than Markham/Richmond Hill. Portion was so big that you would be full, and might have to doggy bag. Most importantly, food tasted good. Short ribs stew had many pieces of beef. Squids hot plate was saucy. It wasn't too spicy, so it was good for me (menu didn't have a chilli sign either). For people who like it hot, you can ask for some chilli sauce.
