It's a cozy and clean family restaurant. Quite traditional. The inside and decorations has loving family touch. We had Beef and veggie ramen (spicy and not-so-spicy both). My wife loved it. Good service. Parking is available in the private lot in front of the restaurant.
We have driven by this place so many times but finally decided to try it for the first time this past weekend. We didn't have high expectations because we haven't had good Korean food in Mississauga. However, we were very surprised at how good all the food was. It's very comparable to the korean restaurants in North York. The service is pretty decent too & the food came really quick. Each table has their own tablet to send in our order. The restaurant itself is pretty old looking but it was very cosy.
April 2/2022: This is a very simple Mom & Pop run family restaurant. The place itself is small, maybe seats 30 ppl but it was clean. A very large menu considering the place itself. The food was very good but not off the charts good. Great variety as well. We had the Fried Chicken. Good tasting but little actual meat on the chicken itself. The glass noodles were tasty as was the variety of small tastings they supplied. The highlight of the meal was the hot beef. It's was my best dish. I wouldn't come back again as the dishes didn't really impact. I do recommend that you try this place, however.
A small business run by lovely owners! Portions have gotten smaller for some dishes and the ginseng chicken soup no longer has ginseng anymore. But there banchans, leek seafood pancake and Kalbi Tang are all still great! Happy to support a local mom & pop shop.
One of my favourite Korean restaurants in this area. Family owned business, been around for a very long time. I love the bibimbap, and their dumplings amongst other things.
A good traditional mom and pop shop, the service is fine, the owners are nice, and the side kimchi dish are delicious!! Not sure if we can refill though, we didn't ask. A bit pricy ($16sth for the pancake, $13 for the soup which is okay and can't remember the price for the noodles) We enjoyed the pancake! It's crispy on the edge and the shrimp and squid are delicious. The soup is good but average good. We possibly won't drive there on purpose but next time if we're nearby and need some Asian food we'll revisit
I've been purposely avoiding this place for the past few years because I couldn't shake the feeling of being wronged from my past experience - but, my mother wanted to come, and so I went. I had the pork bone soup since it was a chilly autumn day. They were doing their anniversary special so many dishes were about $2 off; the pork bone soup I had was $9. Portion size is good; there's a lot of rice so the meal is definitely enough for one person. The meat is tender and the soup has a more subtle flavour that my mother likes. The soup came out piping hot and all the side dishes were good. It all comes down to preference; I've tried this pork bone soup a couple times and while it's not bad by any measure I just prefer the stronger, sweeter type of broth that I've had elsewhere. The venue is clean and quiet; we were the only ones there, which was kind of weird on a Saturday afternoon. The type of service hasn't changed - to get it you have to ask for it. It's good if you prefer being left alone to chat with friends, but don't expect above-and-beyond customer service. Overall, decent, but I've had better PBS. Normally, their prices are a bit higher than other establishments in the vicinity, so now is a good time to try this restaurant.
I didn't realized it went through a renovation until I saw it on a photo on Yelp. (I've tried it like 5 years ago.) So I went to check it out and surprisingly it was clean, spacious and welcoming. There's a small parking area in front of the place. There are six small side dishes which were good and I love the variety. The nutritious rice came with some yam which was a nice touch to it. However, the rice could be more chewy. The down side to it was that my soybean soup looked darker than I'm used to at other restaurants, so it ended up too salty to my liking. It was mostly tofu, onions And zucchini pieces. The tofu was not the silky type which I love how it can melt in your mouth. My partner got the pork bone soup and he was satisfied with his lunch. The potato could be cooked longer. Verdict: yes I would go back to try their other dishes.
One of the "better" Korean restaurants in Mississauga! I don't like Owl, Sikgaek is pretty solid, and Buk Chang specialises in soon tofu, so limited menu. Not having been here in a few years, I gave it another chance due to a hankering for Korean, but not wanting to go to any of the places listed above. And you know what? Offerings are solid, esp for my cold weather staple, PSB! There was enough meat and purple rice w/ pieces of pumpkin accompanied it. Side dishes were also plentiful, with a good variety! Yes, it's a Ma 'n Pa, but don't let the location stop you!
Went in for lunch a couple times. I found overall great spot to have variety Korean dishes. Portions are generous and friendly service from the owners.
This really was a wow! Just wanted to pick up a bite after work and I came across this place. The spicy fried chicken was killer (I personally didn't find it spicy at all and would say the sauce is mild, but I imagine that's perfect for some). The chicken was so so yummy and paired so well with the cold pickled veggies. I will definitely be eating here again! Not to mention the very kind and friendly staff, it seems like a small family run business.
Had major cravings for Korean food, so decided to come here today to satisfy these feelings. They had the doors wide open when we went there, probably to air the area out. Since it was a little chilly today, we found it to be quite cold upon entry. Fortunately, we warmed up pretty quickly after eating. I was astonished to see that they offer Korean chicken ginseng soup for only $10.99, the same price as their seollangtang (beef bone broth). The soup was quite clear and light, and you can see the chicken oil floating on top. The serving size was decently large; it came with four sizeable pieces of chicken. Although there wasn't much of a ginseng flavour, there were two pieces each of red dates and onion, and quite a bit of black pepper bits at the bottom of the dolsot. The chicken was fall off the bone tender. The accompanying rice was very delicious, and pleasantly surprising! It came steaming hot in a silver pressure cooker (in fact, since they have an open kitchen, we were able to see how they cook all these pressure cookers individually), and was a lovely mix of glutinous rice, black beans, forbidden (black/purple) rice, and orange sweet potato. A great healthy choice! My parents also ordered a gamjatang, or pork bone soup, to share. It was decent, and like the chicken, the meat was very tender. The vertebrae ribs literally fell apart at the touch. I really loved the assortment of banchan provided. The waiter was also very attentive; he came over twice - once to ask whether we needed anything and whether everything was all right (we ended up asking for an extra serving of banchan), and another time to refill our tea. A great restaurant that we will definitely revisit!
Ordered items: Soft tofu soup - you get to add a meat which is nice since most soft tofu soups I've tried don't have that option Pork bone soup - flavourful, but the meat was a little hard to remove from the bones Overall, my favourite part is the rice with sweet potato, but nothing too special!

Beef Bulgogi Heaven - Well Worth It! Had the beef bulgogi on a sizzling plate - tender, flavorful, and served piping hot. It came with nutritious steamed rice and six complimentary banchan, which I absolutely love! Each side dish added something special to the meal. Well priced at $24.99 for such a satisfying and well-balanced experience. Definitely coming back! read more

Along the Dundas St. E, there are a few Korean restaurants. This is one of them. People coming from East (Dundas St. E.) or North (Jaguar Valley Dr. via Hurontario St.) will be easy to find this place and a plenty of parking space are right in front of the restaurant. I have been here many times. The owner and his wife are very friendly. Besides they make good food, they always chat with the diners and constantly refill tea for the customers. I usually order the chicken soup, the pork-on-the-bone soup and the potato pancake. The price for all these food is extremely reasonable compared to the Owl. I want to highlight the side dishes here. They offer 6 side dishes which are more than the other Korean restaurants in Mississauga. Not just the amount, the taste for all of them are flavourful. We ordered the chicken soup and the pork soup again. The soup base for the chicken soup is very clean and doesn't see much oil floating on the surface. Besides the chicken, we can also find the ginseng and the dates in the soup. The soup itself is very healthy. Plus, it also comes with the nutritious steamed rice, which boiled with red rice and other grains. Since the owners are celebrating the 16th anniversary, we find the special menu and some of the original dishes are on discounts. I ordered the pork soup, which is only $8.99. It comes with 3 big pieces of bones with lots of meat on them. Along with the price we paid associated with the amount of the tasty food, and the service we had, I couldn't find any issue with this place. read more
Well, I came back recently based on the recent positive review of this place. They have a 6.99 for special which includes 6 banchan/side dishes, purple rice, and the entree (either soft tofu stew of pork bone soup). The banchan were well flavoured, the soft tofu stew had ample amount of tofu and the purple rice was cooked really well and they also gave a lot of that too. For $6.99 (anniversary special), it was a great deal. In addition, it has been renovated, so the floors and tables look a lot nicer now and it's passable. Great upgrade. read more

Hi Yelplanders! Benny K here again. I honestly cant remember just how long I have been going to WOW for my Korean food fixes. All I can say is that I love the place. The prices here are just as good as Food Court across the street minus all the stinky vagrants begging for your money while you eat, and the lack of seating availability. Dont even get me started on the washrooms. OMG!! Those of you who have been to the Food Court know exactly what I am talking about. The husband and wife ownership duo are back in the same restaurant again. Hubby left for a while to run the show at Galleria but he is back!! They are the nicest people too. About the food, I have tried many of their dishes over the years and truly have not been disappointed. One of my personal faves is the Degi-Gogi (pork) Den-Jang Jigae (bean paste stew). Bit spicy. That with a side of Kimchi and rice. Dayaam! It is so flavorful. Also remember that you have the right to ask for things higher or lower on the scovilles if you know what I mean. Their in-house Kimchi compliments the mains so nicely. UMMMMMM. The Kimchi is made with love!! lol. Not spicy. After many Moons (no pun) the owners decided to renovate the place. Out with the old, in with the new. Check out my updated pics to see the place now. Big screen TVs and all. Even have Nutrient Rice aka Purple Rice now for some of the more health conscious eaters. So save yourself that drive to the Galleria. There is plenty of free parking and quick access to Mississauga Transit. It is just east of Hurontario on the north side of Dundas. You gotta try it out Yelpers. They even have at the table cooking options, and most, if not all of your Korean food faves!!!! Peace out Yelpers! read more
