    Great food and service! They come right away after ringing the bell. Food quality is amazing, with great side dishes. If you pay with cash, you can get a 5% discount!

    Sikgaek is an authentic Korean Restaurant in Mississauga that serves AMAZING Korean dishes! Their extensive menu offers noodles, fried chicken, BBQ, soups, and much more along with some new menu items are well worth trying. This spot has a relaxed atmosphere and their staff is very accommodating. If you can't find a parking spot at the front, there's also some at the back.

    Our second time coming to Sikgaek. Coming in, this place was cozy and offered privacy which was nice. We were greeted warmly by the servers. We got their donkatsu spicy buldak alfredo omurice, the boneless Joseph chicken and dakjeon. The boneless Joseph chicken (4/5) was crunchy, cheesy and a slightly sweet nutty flavour. The donkatsu spicy buldak alfredo omurice (4/5) was delicious. The spicy buldak rice was balanced well with the creaminess of the alfredo sauce. The egg was cooked well and the donkatsu was crispy and tender. I wish there was more of the omelette because towards the end we were left with a lot more rice and no omelette. The dakjeon (3.5/5) was crispy on the outside with a slight chewiness on the inside. This savoury pancake had cubed chicken throughout but we found the chicken itself was rather dry. The green onion was a good addition to this dish as it enhances the flavour. The dipping sauce had a mixture of saltiness from the soy sauce, a hint of sweetness and some tanginess as well. The side dishes consisted of pickled cabbage, pickled radishes and kimchi. The kimchi was a bit salty for my liking. Although it was crunchy, I was hoping it would be more tangy.

    Okay so parking in this tiny plaza is extremely limited which started the experience shaky. There s parking to the rear of the plaza but it also fills up. The individual rooms are fun but are even louder than sitting outside n the main dining area so keep that in mind. servers were good and attentive and there are bells in the rooms to get their attention as needed. The menu is quite diverse, so something for everyone. Banchan was okay. Only 3 served, traditional kimchi, picked daikon and pickled white cabbage. We ordered a pancake which was on the greasy aide but delicious and maybe a a little undergone in the middle. Their omirice was new to me and looked very pretty. house brown sauce was super sweet but grew on me. Fried rice was ok and the egg cover was super pretty. Not sure if the price tagr matched the value here. The Beef Jap Chae was delicious, not a lot of noodles for $20 but a ton of veggies for sure. Very flavourful. The fish cake souo was just disappointing. Literally fishcakes and one each of a lobster fish ball squid fish ball and a shrimp ball. Yes it was only $14 but no veggies other than a sprinkling of green onion, and did not come with a bowl of rice. Overall I think it was passable but other really good options nearby might make a return visit a far way away.

    Boneless fried chicken (Joseph flavor)

    Really solid Korean restaurant and they stay open pretty late which is make them a great spot for late night dinner or snack! We got their soft tofu seafood soup and the boneless chicken in Joseph flavor. The Joseph flavor is like a creamy nut cheesy sauce. The chicken was crispy but the sauce was very rich and cheesy. Their soup was filled with toppings and pipping hot when it came out. The staff was kind and the food came out fairly quickly! I also love that they have private seating which are separated dividers.

    The food here was really good especially the spicy candy fried chicken! I would definitly come back here. It is a little pricy but expected for Korean fried chicken places. Nice and clean tables and private areas to sit as well.

    We ordered: - Pork Dumplings - Soft Tofu Kimchi Soup - Original Street Food Style Ttokbokki Pork dumplings were okay, I definitely preferred the Kimchi soup and the Ttokbokki over the dumplings! The soup was flavourful and the soft was super soft~ the Ttokbokki was definitely my favourite, it was chewy and there was a good amount of rice cakes and fish cakes available. Overall, I loved the food and I enjoyed everything! ‍ Service: Service was great! There's a button at each table that can be pressed when you need assistance. The servers were super nice, even apologizing for us waiting even the tiniest bit of time (not needed but appreciated!) Ambiance: There were a lot of seats with a few private sections for KBBQ. TLDR: It felt like an authentic restaurant with delicious food and lovely waiters. I will definitely be coming back!

    Dakgalbi cheese plate for 2
    Ailun H.

    We stopped by Sikgaek for a late dinner this past Saturday and fortunately, it wasn't too busy. Several tables are tucked inside these wall dividers which was aesthetic and unique. It also gave us more privacy. We enjoyed this dining experience! There's also call buttons for each table you can press to get a server's attention. The banchan here was pretty standard. There was kimchi (sour, but I liked it!!), radish, and something else that I forgot, haha. We were able to get some refills, too. MOOL NAENGMYEON - 17 This was OK. The broth wasn't very sweet and it was on the blander side, so I just added extra vinegar and mustard. The toppings included pickled radish, cucumber and half of a hard-boiled egg. It didn't even have a piece of meat. It's nothing special and I've definitely had better at restaurants. CHEESE PLATE FOR 2: DAKGALBI - 42 This was the perfect sharable for the four of us since we also got our own entrees. There's plenty of marinated (sweet and spicy) chicken, cabbage, onions, and some dukkbokki and fish cakes. Of course, there was a ring of shredded mozzarella cheese on the side. Make sure the cheese doesn't "overcook", otherwise there's isn't much of a satisfying cheese pull and it just becomes a block of hot cheese. This was tasty and full of flavor since you get a mix of sweet, spicy and savory. It also made my naengmyeon more enjoyable when eating it all in one bite. Overall, decent experience here. I wouldn't recommend the naengmyeon, but the cheese plate was well-enjoyed by our group.

    amazing service and excellent food choices. Got the omurice and it was very flavourful.

    Fried chicken
    Caroline C.

    Yummy food! The fried chicken was crispy and had a nice flavour. The boneless joseph chicken was my fav. The gamjatang had a good flavour but wished it was more fall of the bone. The dak galbi was also good but there so much vegetable and not enough chicken for the price. They don't check in on you but if you press the service button, they come promptly. The restaurant is really cute. It reminds me of the hanok village in Korea.

    Plain Omurice
    Sunny W.

    FOOD | Came for a friend's birthday and heard good things about the omurice on Google Review! It was one of the more expensive items on the menu, and it was actually a little salty because I got the plain version ($16). I think if the omurice came with the meat add-ons, the meat would help with some of the saltiness from the cream and sauce. Get the spicy rice -- it's actually got a decent amount of heat! AMBIENCE | Love the interior here -- there are wooden panelled booths that semi-close you off from the rest of the restaurant and makes the restaurant seem more authentic. SERVICE | There is a call button at every table so that servers can be called once you're ready to order. Other than that, they do not often come to your table to check on you or refill banchans. VIBE | I think it's a good place for a group dinner!

    Cold Noodles

    Been here several times now for years. One of my go-to Korean restaurants in the city. And since pandemic, have ordered take out and delivery! ATMOSPHERE: Casual dining atmosphere. Love all their hand drawn/written menus with cute illustrations peppered around the restaurant. There's a row of rooms (fits up to 6 people), and an open dining area as well. Accommodates small or large parties. Not too much parking though; they are part of a very small strip mall, so while there is parking - there's a chance you have to park further if lot is full. SERVICE: Service is pretty relaxed here. They are friendly enough, but only come when called. Sometimes during busy service hours, they do require a couple of calls using the button (at your table/room) - or one of us had to get up and flag someone. PRICE: Average to other Korean restaurants in the area. FOOD: They have a large menu with all the usual offerings of a sit-down Korean restaurant. But what do they do above the rest? KFC (aka Korean Fried Chicken)! Their KFC is the BEST: Incredible crunchy exterior with moist meat and great seasoning. Padak is my go-to flavour! They also have a great cold noodles, and their Gamja Tang (pork bone soup) has a version served with glass noodles (instead of rice). For take out they take orders by phone, but also take out & delivery via food apps: UberEats, DoorDash, and Fantuan (currently 15% off)

    Best pairing ever for Korean food
    Fontaine M.

    There is no doubt in my mind why this restaurant is highly rated. The available seating is limited given COVID restrictions but you feel extremely safe. Pretty much everyone gets their own enclosed booth. You ring a bell for service which on the most part was prompt and friendly. We definitely over ordered a bit because everything was sooo good. We had the classic chicken cheese plate - chicken was tender and flavourful. It went amazingly well with the Makgulri (rice wine). We also had the seafood pancake and some appy kimchi etc. The drinks were served in these copper bowls which supposedly was the traditional way to drink and everything felt super authentic. Definitely a must visit for Korean food lovers!

    Seafood soft tofu - You can see the glass cup as a size reference.

Fast forward to 2026. We're in the Toronto area and I notice there are a handful of Myung Dong style restaurants on my search. We ended up picking this one because it was the closest one from our hotel. Without knowing the quality of the other options, we were so glad we made this choice. Similar menu and the kimchi is one of the stars of the show. Slightly unripe, but loaded with garlic, we couldn't get enough of it. The kalguksu had a mild, but peppery broth; and all members of my family thought it was the best they'd ever had. We also ordered the bossam (pork belly) and steamed mandoo.

I got a beef soup (bulgogi jjigae) which the broth ended up spicier than I wanted. I thought it should have been on the sweeter side. There are many other Korean dishes one can choose from, especially their popular large pork dumplings. Overall, it was a good experience with my friend.

And when we found out it's a joint where you pick out your own components for a bowl of soup, we were extremely intrigued and excited to eventually check it out. So it was that we popped in for a meal on a recent Saturday. The place is quite small inside, but the man behind the counter was very friendly and explained how everything worked. We were given a large plastic bowl and told to fill it with the various components we wanted, which proved to be no small task as there were dozens of options available. I wound up cramming my bowl with different kinds of meat and sausages, along with a few standard veggies like bok choy and mushrooms. After that was done, I took my bowl back to the aforementioned man and requested the bone broth and the spiciest level of heat they had. (I was urged to go with medium instead, which I did and which turned out to be the right move, because the medium was more like very, very, very spicy.) The finished soup was brought to the table a short while later and it looked quite tasty. I wasn't expecting much but I'll admit that my socks were properly knocked off. This is one terrific, flavorful bowl of soup. The broth is so rich and layered, and it's enhanced by a heaping helping of garlic and chili oil. I'd put this right up there with the best ramen on offer in the GTA. Did I need quite so many components in the soup itself? No, probably not. When I return (and I certainly will), I'll definitely be a bit more conservative in terms of adding in ingredients. But wow, I am so impressed by Youxia Malatang.
