Was craving a good ol' bowl of Bibimbap and decided to stop by at Sunrise House. While the restaurant is a little bit on the older side it did still have a cozy welcoming feeling. The service was good, the waitress was kind and brought our food fairly quickly. My Bibimbap craving was satisfied in the end, it had fresh ingredients and a good sauce. It was also complimented by some great side dishes. Of the myriad of k-restaurants in the area, this spot is a good option for sure! read more

Sunrise House - Bibimbap with side dishes - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A Korean no-frills kinda restaurant. I have been here since uni days and I would have to say that the times I have visited, it has been consistent. I came here when it was only cash only and now they do allow you to pay with card. I usually get the spicy rice cakes as they have been pretty much a staple now. I like their stir fired meat dishes with rice, they usually come in a good portion of the meats and the rice. The side dishes are also good, good variety. After all these years, the vibe is the same, same decor and the menu hasn't really changed much. read more

My partner and I visited this spot out of nowhere as we were walking along Bloor Street in Korea Town, and decided to give this place a try since it didn't have a line, unlike other restaurants near it. Korea Town has many restaurants and after trying this establishment, I unfortunately don't think I will recommend it first. The Kam Ja Tang, which is the pork bone stew, looked really pretty, and had tender meat. However, it tasted very plain and didn't have enough seasoning, which I was surprised about because I could visibly see red pepper bits on top of the bean sprouts. The bibimbap was solid, although with gochujang, it's pretty difficult to mess up this dish. I enjoyed it for sure. My spouse had the seafood tofu stew and the chicken dumpling soup, and commented that the dumpling soup tasted very plain as well, including the dumplings which lacked flavor. She did, however, enjoy the tofu stew. When I return to Korea Town, I don't think I will specifically visit this establishment, sadly. I do want to make sure I try other places near it, though. With the amount of hole in the wall restaurants on Bloor Street, I am sure one can find something great. read more

It's been a while since I've returned. This spot has been here a long time and is a small no frills local Korean restaurant. I ordered 62) Soft Tofu with Seafood Stew. Good portions and I liked the banchan with the potatoes. Unfortunately, their ceiling fan was broken and they did not turn on their AC. I found it quite suffocating. After a while the server ended up opening the door to let some air in but it was still quite hot in there. I hope they fix this issue soon! read more

Super tasty Korean food, great price and very accommodating. We ordered 3 Pork Bone Soup to go and will always keep coming back

I came here on recommendation from a family member. It is one of those hole in the wall experience with a couple of tables and the feel of a Korean diner. I originally wanted to have my usually stone pot bibimbap whenever I venture to a Korean restaurant, but the weather was a bit warm, so I ended up ordering the chicken bulgogi with rice. The chicken bits were cut into tiny pieces, it had a bit which hinder my taste bud, definitely was not cool. Because of the underwhelming display of my food I ended up taking it back home. Reheating it did not help as the chicken bits became hard, threw it out. Won't be ordering this dish again. They lady serving was very nice which made the sit in really nice. read more

Sunrise House - Bulgogi chicken with rice - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Sunrise House is a Korean restaurants located in the Bloor and Christie neighborhood. This is a mom and pop operation that serves Korean comfort food. With the return of the cold weather, this is an ideal place to get some hot Korean stews. We had the Gamjatang (Pork Bone soup), Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean soup) and Seafood Kalguksu (Hand cut noodles). The soups are not heavily flavored with MSG and but there's still a comforting taste to them. They give out generous portions of the meat and seafood in our Pork Bone and Kalgusuk. The restaurant is not very spacious and tables are tight together. Service was good but it got a bit hectic when it got really busy. This is a takeout and dine-in place. Paid street and lot parking available. read more

Sunrise House - Food was so good, forgot to take a picture lol. - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

10% off with cash! Came here with my friend for bibimbap and there was still a ton of seats left during Monday evening. I got the bugolgi bibimbap ($16.99) while my friend got the spicy chicken bibimbap. Honestly no complaints - good portion of white rice with a healthy amount of meat and veggies including zucchini, radish, carrots, spinach, and bean sprouts. It came with their delicious bibimbap sauce. Service was good and they checked up on us twice and was happy to replenish our side dishes. The side dishes included seaweed (so flavourful!), kimchi, potato (delicious), bean sprouts, and pickled radish. I did not give 5 stars because there is no air conditioning (was hot inside but there are some fans) and it is pricier than other restaurants by a couple dollars. I would return still! read more

You know you're in the right place when you step into this restaurant. I'd never been to Korea. I just got the feeling that this is a very legit Korean restaurant. Maybe it's because of the colouring style of the interior decoration, the noise from every table, the tiny washroom, etc. Anyway, the ambience just made me feel like I was in a K-drama. The menu was dirty and oily which might scare some newbies; however, the food WILL impress you. I won't regret coming here to have dinner and you'll be glad you don't follow others' reviews to go to the BBQ restaurant across the street, Daldongnae, which is a nightmare. read more

I have tried sunrise house quite many times before the pandemic and they have always been cheap and good, I love what I ate there and I think it's one of the affordable go-tos. So when I finally passed by ktown again i needed to go in, but this time it was just disappointing. We ordered seafood pancake with rice cake, pork bone soup and fried dumpling. The seafood pancake is extremely soggy, it has NO CRISP, it is so sad to eat it. Pork bone soup was small portion and may as well call it bean sprout soup, not flavorful at all too. Fried dumpling is okay, but just common ones. What makes me unhappy is that despite of the poor quality of food, they r still driving up their price which does not make any sense. with this price I can go to any other Korean store and get better food. Will I go again? Absolutely not read more

We needed a new Korean spot since our go to spot, the owners sadly retired and closed shop. We came to Sunrise as a lot of restaurants on Mondays on this strip are closed. We decided to try their tofu stew and split on a seafood pancake. I would say that the dishes were okay, the flavour was lacking a bit and seafood pancake flavour was just okay as well. Their side dishes were good though. I can see why this place can be busy since prices are good but I would say it was just okay for me. I would try others before coming back. read more

Sunrise House - Tofu Stew - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I feel conflicted about reviewing this place. This was our dining spot on our very first night in Toronto, but it didn't go smoothly for several reasons. I'll start with the positives: ++ Side dishes: above average, and the silent floor staff asked if we needed a refill, which didn't happen at another K place - - This small space of no more than a dozen tables was full when we got here, and we were asked (or ordered) to move to a two-person table before we got our food. I appreciate the busy vibe, but not ""how"" we were rushed to move without explanation or reasons. We just figured it out ourselves when they say a group of three new customers where we'd sat Salty food: miso soup was borderline inedible, but the saltiness of bulgogi prompted me to rinse out in the miso soup the entire meal. Enough said Needless to say, we would not rush to go back. read more

I have been to Sunrise House many times before the pandemic. Food was very good, full of flavor and large portion. BUT NOT ANYMORE. Price has gone up 50% and the food is disappointing. we ordered seafood pancake, pork bone soup and bulgogi and squid stirfry. the seafood pancake was not crispy (though I asked to make it crispy when I order), it had a lot of vegetables (onion) and hardly any seafood. basically, no seafood taste at all.. the pork bone soup had very mild flavor, it's edible but not enjoyable. The bulgogi and squid stirfry was the best among the three dishes ordered. compare to pre-pandemic, the portion is smaller, less sauce, less spicy and less flavor. Overall, very disappointed. Will never go to Sunrise House again. read more

I loveD Sunrise House. Then it morphed recently not for the better. Service: I went there recently and the usual server was replaced by someone else. 1. She didn't bring enough napkins for all of us. 2. She didn't come with tea or water so our cup sat empty until we asked for a jug of water. 3. Instead of a jug of water, she brought cups of water. 4. It took her a while to take our orders even though the restaurant was not full. 5. We had to ask for extra bowls for our food. Normally all those are automatically provided. 6. When we went to pay, she demanded that we must leave tips because we were there for 2 hours. To me, tips are earned, not a given, especially with such poor service. Menu: I ordered my usual pork bone soup. When I first went there about a year ago, it was $7.99. Then half a year ago, it increased by $1 to $8.99. Now it's $12!!! That's a huge increase. It's not like they added ingredients. If they want to adjust their price to be similar to neighbouring restaurants, then they should have more ingredients in their pork bone soup, like potatoes. And better environment with heat. And better service. What a shame. My friends and I likeD to frequent this place, but what with these changes, we are now opened to new experiences at other restaurants. read more

Came for a late lunch with a group of 4. We went in around 2 PM on a saturday and there was still a small line at the door. It's a small restaurant, with seating for about 20, and given how popular this restaurant is based on other reviews, getting a seat may be a challenge unless you're coming at an off time. I guess later than 2 PM. A big sign in the back reads "CASH ONLY", but there's an ATM next door if you usually prefer cards. They have bright green walls with all sorts of what appears to be random artwork and decorations of all sorts spread out along the walls throughout the restaurant. Washrooms are very small, and there's a simple sliding door that separates you from the hallway. It's not very clean, and if you're claustrophobic you might consider passing on it. On the menu, they have a good selection of items to choose from (80 items), whether you're looking for some fried rice, stew, bibimbamp, or some snacks like dumplings or pancakes. They also have a couple larger hot pots. The prices are pretty cheap as well, with most large meal items coming in at under $10. They serve up 6 different side-dishes, and offer refills. I tried the pork bone soup and fried rice with chicken in a stone bowl. Both dishes were quite spicy, and not the sweet kind of spice. If you can't handle spice, you might need to ask for more tea or water. I do enjoy spice, and would say it makes the dishes that much better. I can see why people would line up to get a meal here at 2 PM. Would recommend it if you're in koreatown. read more

Update Feb. 2019 - the prices have increased that it is no longer affordable to come here for lunch. It'll probably cost you around $20 after tax & tip. For some reason they are not updating their website menu prices maybe so they won't lose any business with the price hike. I guess you could eat your worth of free refillable banchan but this won't be my go to anymore for Korean food in K-town when there are less expensive on Bloor. read more

For a highly rated restaurant I'm disappointed. I always check Yelp and google reviews before I check out a new place so I was surprised the food here was not up to the par of the reviews. I got the hot plate bulgogi and my friend got the pork bone soup. I was disappointed paying the extra few dollars that it was just stir fried bulgogi beef scooped onto a hot plate. There was too much sauce didn't have the nice crispiness the hot plate usually provides. The stir fried bulgogi which is another cheaper dish would've been the same.... The taste was ok, felt like it was sitting in the kitchen for a while and just reheated. I have had better hot plate bulgogi beef for the expensive price of 18.99$. I just expected more. My friend's pork bone soup looked great and big portion wise but the taste was lack lustre. Overall the food was just ok a bit disappointing. The staff was nice and they were on top of refilling our sides (which only just tasted ok as well). Overall it would be 2.5 stars but 0.5 extra for the read more

Koreatown is full of many wonderful Korean eats and Sunrise House is no exception! After scrolling through pages of potential Korean restaurants on Yelp, it was the pile of sprouts on the pork bone soup in the photos that really drew me in. Just before 6, I was able to quickly snag a seat, but moments later, the small restaurant quickly filled up with a long line. Of courses, I got to look forward to the various Korean side dishes that come, and I was not disappointed by any! The japchae noodles, which are my favourite, were prepared perfectly, and as was the kimchi and potatoes to name a few. I may be biased, cause sprouts are one of my favourite part of Korean cuisine, but I the pile on the pork bone soup was MASSIVE! Such that they give you a separate bowl so you can transfer your mountain of sprouts and cabbage and actually access the pork bone soup. The sprout mountain on top is super good since it has absorbed so much of the spicy soup. And of course, the pork bone itself didn't disappoint. I thought the meat was really tender and the soup base had the right amount of spice and flavour; note, however, that it was a tad on the spicy side so be wary if this is a concern. First impressions were that the portion was massive; for $12 I don't think I've had as good quality or as large portion sizes. I definitely think Sunrise House takes a very simple and classic dish and truly elevates it with their own take, rivalling all the nearby establishments. FYI, they only take cash so be prepared. While storefront and interior are a little overwhelming, and despite all the various Korean restaurants to choose from, Sunrise should not be underestimated for its great food and service! read more

A very good meal for an amazing steal! We had to wait a couple minutes, not because all the tables were full but because the restaurant had no clue how to seat the customers. Single individuals occupied tables meant for four, instead of being seated at tables for two. Fortunately, the wait was quick and we were soon seated. I ordered a shrimp bibimbap, and priced at only $9, it was a huge and massive portion! The shrimp is only slightly salted, so if you want something stronger in taste, order another dish. But I really enjoyed the huge assortment of vegetables! The rice was perfectly crispy against the hot dolsot, though I'm embarrassed to say that I left most of it untouched because I was too full. My mom's spicy squid bibimbap was just as substantial in size, and the squid was marinated nicely! Based on these two orders, I would definitely recommend you order the bibimbap as the quality and portion size appear to be consistent. My sister ordered the non-spicy bibimbap but it came quite sickening sweet. The portion, again, was massive! There was a hill of rice along with a mountain of stir fried beef. We packed most of this to go. We also ordered a seafood pancake to share, but this was a disappointment. Not only was it the most expensive order at $10 (I realize how obscene that sounded LOL), but it was thick and doughy, completely lacking the crisp typical of most Korean pancakes. That being said, there was a significant amount of squid and cuttlefish in the pancake! The place was super busy, and the server never even got the chance to refill our cups with tea. The banchan is amazing, and homemade, though I found the japchae to be a bit too sweet. Will come again! read more

I love the Spicy Beef/ Chicken Bulgogi here. My friend who is a vegetarian loves their Kimchi Tofu Stew. Although the food is good and the portions are big (you will have leftovers for sure) $18.49 for the beef bulgolgi is a little pricey imo. Edit: Came here again and tried their Kimchi Stew with ramen, tofu, pork and sausages, and it was pretty good. Kimchi stews in general are not my favourite because they're too sour, but I'd thought I'd try it again from here. The soup was sour, but i do like that the bowl is filled with ingredients. Would I get this again? Probably not, but i would try another stew that doesn't have kimchi in it (too sour) read more

If you want to go to a sauna and eat Korean food at the same time, you should come here in the summer. 1) HOLY HOT HELL this tiny restaurant was 35° DEGREES INSIDE! They literally had a thermometer on the wall and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was 26° (ish?) on the evening we came. 2) Korean food is spicy. Even if you get non spicy, they'll give you Gochujang (Korean hot sauce) on the side, at which you can leisurely crank up the spice level. 3) I got a hot dish (rice cakes). Hot weather + spiciness + hot food. I WAS SWEATING BULLETS. Anyways the side dishes were good and so was my rice cake dish! If the menu states it's spicy, you can ask them to make it non spicy (although it will be less flavorful). This place is also super cheap and all prices on the menu include tax! However, I would recommend coming here when it's a reasonable temperature outside. read more

*CASH ONLY* Good quality food, lots of side dishes, cheap prices (menu includes tax already and the portions are huge). #34 Bulgogi and squid with steamed rice: Found mild spicy to be quite spicy. Huge portion, glad they gave lots of rice to go with the sauce. Beef and squid were tender. #3 Seafood pancake: Lots of ingredients and I appreciate how it wasn't mostly just batter. Very flavourful. Unfortunately only some of the edges was crispy so we took it home to make it crispier. Service was great. Everyone seems to need take-out boxes afterwards just because there is so much food. We came on a weekday around 12PM and the place was quite empty. Other reviews complain there's no A/C, but we were quite comfy with the central ceiling fan...not sure how hot the place would get if the restaurant was packed though. read more

This is the best Korean restaurant I have ever been to. I wouldn't say it beats mama's home cooking, but sometimes it's on par (don't tell my mom). Whenever my friends from Kingston visit for a weekend, I always suggest getting Korean food here. There's apparently no Asian food in or around Queens, so they're always excited to eat at Sunrise and it never disappoints them. I get the same thing every time. My favourite stew, the fermented soy bean stew, and a platter of sticky rice seafood pancakes to share. There are a few annoying things though: - I've found hair in my food 3x, and when I addressed it the first time they remade the stew in minutes but it tasted like garbage and completely diluted and wasnt hot. But the place is so good most of the time that I just dont bother complaining anymore if I find hair in my food. - The middle aged Korean lady working there is extremely rude to you if you're not Korean or speak Korean to her - It's debit or cash only I think one of the most important experiences at a Korean restaurant are the side dishes. You gotta have an abundance of good side dishes with various flavours and textures to really satisfy those savoury cravings. Sunrise house is fairly generous with their side dishes, just maybe don't ask for them for the 4th time if you're a smaller group... Averages about $10-15 per person and you will leave in a food coma and not being able to eat your next meal. Talking about this place makes me wana go get some right now! Literally drooling.

I was craving for korean food and wanted to try a new restaurant so I ended up at Sunrise House. The staff here are very attentive. The food is definitely very cheap. I ordered extra spicy pork bone soup (for only $7!) with no beansprouts. The pork bone was not very flavourful and the meat did not fall off easily. The meat on the pork bone was thick and did not taste as "fatty" as other restaurants. I really enjoyed the soup as it was "sweet spicy". They also give a lot of appetizers (6 dishes) compared to other restaurants. read more

Sunrise House - Pork bone soup for two and appetizers for $17 after tax! - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a great little restaurant in Korea town. Very cozy in the winter time, and you get a lot of food for the price. The place seats about 35 people and was packed on a Tuesday night. They don't do reservations so we had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table for 6. We shared two large pots of stew (which comes with two bowls of rice each), an order of spicy rice cakes, and a plate of seafood pancakes. The kimichi stew had a variety of ingredients such as sausages, bacon, pork slices, rice cakes, instant noodles, fish cakes, and other veggies as well. It was spicier than the pork bone soup and thicker as well, probably from the starch in there. I personally enjoyed the soup base of the pork bone one more. The meat fell off the bone, and it was loaded up with plenty of bean sprouts and cabbage. The rice cakes were nice and chewy. The pancake was huge! It was a little on the starchy side and their dipping sauce was a bit too heavy on the soy sauce. The highlight for me were the side dishes. Their pickled radish and seaweed were on the sour and sweet side, which is the type I prefer. The glass noodles and beansprouts were not too greasy and the potatoes were cooked just right. The entire meal came out to be around $60 total, and we were beyond stuffed. We had most of our rice and more than half of the stew left. My only complaint is that the store is a bit run down and could use a renovation. The space is also a little crammed, and couples beside us were asked to share tables with other people. However, as long as they stay true to the food, I will still go back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I went to this location with three other friends. Meal was cheap, we ordered three dishes it was $33+tip. Pork bone soup, it wasn't cooked long enough it tasted like it was boiled for a short period. It wasn't tender fall off the bone. The soup, it just did not have much flavour. It tasted watered down with a dash of chilly in the water. Pork bone served with 4 bones for $8.99. It is the cheapest one I've been to, but not great for taste. Other dishes were okay. Hot tea was complimentary. Free WiFi. I would try this place again with another dish because service was fast. read more

A place that is always packed with people. The decor is a little funky and old, but its not like anyone comes here for that. I come here for the food. The service is usually really slow, as they seem to always be under staffed. The portions are quite generous especially the bulgogi, but also the prices have gone up from before. I ordered kimchi stew the other day and it was filled with so much kimchi that the soup was really sour and spicy compared to usual. I come here once in a while to get my korean fix but there are other korean restos I prefer in koreatown. The sides are also not as good as some other restos, so I think if they improved that, that would make the experience better. read more

Thank you whoever wrote that this was the best kept secret. Because that's exactly what brought me here and my husband and I were not disappointed! Come early...we did, on a Friday night by 6pm as it's a smallish place. The line was down the block by the time we left at 7:30. At first it was a bit slow, because what are you gonna do, it's one person handling the orders and I can't imagine the kitchen is that large but OMG when it all came out hot and sizzling. It was drooooool worthy. My husband I both got our own bibimbap, his spicy chicken, mine spicy bulgogi pork. I also couldn't help myself and got the LA Korean spare ribs because everything is just so affordable. This ribs were to die for, although the hot stone pots were delicious too! Also the banchan was spot on. For once thank god there was no weird fish stuff. Just all vinegar based or kimchi based or fun crunchy things and sweet potato glass noodlystuff. Also surprisingly we each got a bowl of miso soup too. Seriously. This shouldn't be a best kept secret anymore. Sorry to say, but everyone needs to come here NOW! read more

The yukgaejang was a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. It tasted overly of black pepper and spinach (both of which are not supposed to be in this dish!!!)....this feels like classic Korean food, so this was a huge bummer!!!! The mul naengmyeon was good, with chewy noodles and the right soup. The mustard was not spicy though, so that was a little bit of a bummer! The bulgogi dukbokki was good, but not the greatest thing ever, feels like cheap university eats or street food, but less awesome.

*HUGE* price increase. I've been avoiding Sunrise since their first price increase a couple of years back. Last week my friend insisted on eating a particular item from Sunrise House so I reluctantly obliged (after she agreed to pay the difference in cost since I wanted to eat elsewhere). We were both shocked to see most of the menu DOUBLED in price from the original cost. From $7-8 average, all the way up to $14-16! That's insane! The portions are the same, the taste is the same, the service...might be worse? Or just the same. I can't justify it. Sad to say because only a few years ago, this was my number one spot. read more

Sunrise is one of the best Korean meals I've had in K-town. It's a small location with only a few tight seats. It's not the most beautiful spot, but you can tell it's small and homey. The banchans were all delicious and fresh. They have a great variety for sweet to salty, super spicy or mild. We got the seafood pancake which was out of this world. So delicious I could eat that as a whole meal and be satisfied. I had the soybean stew with seafood and it was delicious, with lots of seafood bits inside. They definitely don't skimp. My friend had the Bulgogi dinner and really enjoyed it. It was a huge portion, enough for him to take home and have for lunch the next day. The only thing with this place is that there is only one server and endless amount of guests. You can't expect the best kind of service in these types of places, it's almost a given. My friends meal got lost in translation so we had to wait a while for it. The chef (whom we presume is umma) hand delivered it to our table which was very sweet. All in all, it was worth the wait. It's a cozy place to come grab a quick bite or have a relaxed evening with your friends. We will definitely continue to come back here. read more
