Assorted Pajeon, Chicken Bibimbap, and Gamjatang!

We went on a Friday night, around 5pm, so it was a bit busy, but it didn't take long for us to get seated. If you come any later than that though, it will be a bit longer of a wait. For the assorted Pajeon, we were unsure of what came in it because there were no pictures on the menu or yelp (lol), and we inquired with the waitress who told us that it came with 4 pieces of Potato Pajeon and 4 of the Classic. We were surprised to see veggie Pajeon as well (I believe Perilla Leaf and Jalapeño) that were filled with Japchae. Not a big deal necessarily, but my friend has a mild allergy (which we did not mention) and was worried about the other two Pajeon. A picture menu would be helpful in this case, or a better explanation of the dishes so customers know exactly what they're getting. She still really enjoyed the Chicken Bibimbap, and just wished there was more chicken. The Gamjatang had 3 big pork bones and 2 small pieces of potato. The soup itself was pleasant, but did not have a strong flavour. The interior is nice and cozy, but it doesn't feel cramped. Overall the prices are average to a little high, and a wider variety of Banchan would have been nice. It was a nice experience, and I had leftovers for the next day!

This neighborhood really needed an authentic Korean restaurant, and I'm glad this one opened up filling up the old Wendy's space. Prices are a little higher than Koreatown, but the flavors are on point and worth it. We shared the cold noodles and seafood stew and both were delicious, fresh, and satisfying. There were only 3 side dishes but they refilled them when asked. We went on a weeknight and it stayed quiet until about 7pm, which made for a comfortable and relaxed meal without being rushed out. I'll be back with more friends to try the seafood pancake and bulgogi dishes!

Delicious Gamjatang in downtown Toronto. The restaurant is clean, not too busy when I went on a Monday night. The wait staff was only one person that night, so it took a little while to get my check so I could leave, but that's okay. The waiter was nice. No frills restaurant, it was a simple and delicious meal for a reasonable price. My one complaint: The gamjatang had like two chunks of potato. The dish needs more potatoes and then it would be perfect.

Bibimbap

We ordered the pork bone soup and bibimbap and both were absolutely delicious. The soup came with many pork bones and the portion was worth the price. As well, the bibimbap tasted great with the sauce and it was a very healthy dish. The service was good in that the waiter brought our food in a timely manner. The atmosphere was casual and it is a great place for a date or to catch up with friends.

Banchan

Pretty standard stuff. Got the bulgogi dolsot bibimbap: taste was nothing standout but not bad, portion size was normal, price was a bit high. My friend got the gomtang and said it could have been tastier but wasn't bad. Overall, an average experience.

I decided to have lunch here randomly one day and it was such a good decision! I just got the gamjatang and I have to say it was awesome! The serving size and the amount of meat I got was a lot, so I was pleased with that. The service was also quick, and the restaurant's ambiance was nice. I will come back here again to get more gamjatang and get the pajeon, which I did not get to try last time!

Gamjatang & Bibimbap

I did walk-in on a Friday evening and had about a 15-20 minute wait! The inside of the restaurant is spacious, but feels a bit empty with minimal decor. There's plenty of seating but the tables are all pretty close to each other. Service is pretty quick here. Their menu is pretty simple, in comparison to many other Korean restaurants. They specialize in gamjatang, but also have a variety of other soups. Other than that, they have some meat dishes as well as seafood pancake. My friend and I ordered the gamjatang, seafood pancake, and bibimbap to share. All of their banchan, especially their kimchi and fish cakes were delicious. The portion for each of their entrees was huge and delicious. Overall, good spot!

4.75/5 This place newly opened and I really do think their namesake dish is a 5/5. I haven't had a lot of gamjatangs, but this one was flavoured well and the pork basically fell off the bone, it was so soft!! The only thing that's bringing my rating down a 0.25 is that it's ridiculously hot in there. A minute into sitting down, we had to take off all our layers because we were all really hot. Because the gamjatang is also a hot/soupy dish, we were all sweating while we were eating haha, but the food 100% made up for it!! Definitely will come back soon!!!

Seoul Gamjatang in Toronto is a fantastic spot for authentic Korean comfort food, especially known for its hearty, flavorful gamjatang (pork bone soup). The broth is rich and well-seasoned, offering a depth of flavor that's both warming and satisfying. The Beef soup with daikon, clear noodle, was delicious, similar to Galbitang (I think). The soft tofu soup with seafood is ok. Just squid & tiny shrimp... The bibimbap was ok... with beef, egg, veggies, kimchi on a hot stone... makes the rice crispy on the bottom. The portions are fair, and the side dishes banchan add a lovely variety to the meal. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, making it a solid spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing solid service. Seoul Gamjatang is a solid spot for anyone craving traditional Korean flavors in Toronto.

The service was good, although it was busy when I went. It was also strange that they wouldn't seat parties of 2 at the tables of 4 but would rather leave it empty. Tried the pork bone soup ($20) and the Seafood Pancake ($24). Pork bone soup was good, not too spicy, good seasoning but not overly so and the pork was fresh and not too fatty. The seafood pancake was not as crispy as I would have liked although it was quite large. The batter was a bit doughy - overall okay but probably can pass on this.

The front is cute and they have a little patio set up, which is nice when you are waiting for your…read moreUber/Lyft. The entrance is a little unassuming. You walk up a goldcolored hallway and 2 flights of stairs before reaching the restaurant. The host stand is farther inside.....which will make sense once you are physically in the space. The workers were very friendly and funny. I had a great time bantering with them. My friend from 8th grade and I reunited for the first time in 21 years over dinner. This was one of her picks, and I am deeply grateful she chose it. Appetizers: Rock Shrimp, Fatty Tuna Nigiri, Crispy Rice Tuna Entrée: Jidori Chicken Drinks: Sangria, Champagne Dessert: Yuzu Citrus The rock shrimp was delicious. We loved the sauce it was tossed in. My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart. They also put a little "Reunited" note on the dessert plate, which we both thought was such a sweet touch. Definitely pricey, but definitely worth it. Recommended it to my Toronto friends, I really want to go back and get that king crab rice.

I took myself to Akira Back for a solo birthday dining experience. I had plans later that night and…read moreliterally ended up opening up the place (seriously, security let me in), so the first 20 minutes or so I had the place to myself, which was really cool. It's a gorgeous setting and has a complete vibe of luxury. I thought the tacos were yummy, but the meat didn't feel special like you expect when you hear waygu. It also wasn't as earthy as I've experienced with waygu, but I didn't really mind that. I also got the Brother From Another Mother roll and really enjoyed that. All The dishes are very aesthetic and enjoyable. I was surprised at the end with a little birthday treat. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and I'd definitely go back.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. I waited around 15-20 minutes for a table…read more It's a classic Korean restaurant but one thing that stood out was their generosity with side dishes. It's rare to see a Korean restaurant so encouraging of refilling side dishes. I got the seafood pancake which was the crispiest I have ever had. It was also really tasty but I later suspect they use MSG for seasoning which makes it so good. It was really big though and we had leftovers to bring home. The soup and rice was also nice but not a lot of meat. The food took some time to come out but it was busy times while we were there. The price is also a standout, it's so affordable compared to other places. I highly recommend this place and will go back!

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides. There was 3 different kimchi, braised potatoes and 2 others that I'm not sure what they are, but they were delicious. My favourite was the potatoes and kimchi! Overall this is an amazing place to bring those close to you for delicious korean food!
