I have a severe allergy and safe to say this place is definitely going to be my go to spot when I'm available!! The food I got was super tasty and it wasn't heavy (not too oily or overly salty) and the side dishes paired so well either the bimbibap! The portion was so big, so if you skipped a couple meals this place will definitely satisfy you! I also have mild gluten sensitivity but I didn't have any issues after having my meal there! But that's just me tho, don't risk if you have high sensitivity! Summary: it's nut free, tasty, nice service, food was clean and light, will come back.

Comforting Korean soft tofu stew any day…read more Buk Chang Dong is still the most popular spot in the city for Korean spicy tofu stew. It's dotted all over the city, with a popular following. My better half for one can't resist going when we are in the mood for Korean food. Especially when we encounter cool weather, as was the case during a stormy downpour outside. There are rear parking spots and it's possible to walk through the back door though staff frowned at us going through this while a group did the same later. The menu is still simple: a small selection of Korean spicy tofu stews along with dishes like Bibimbap that pale in comparison. We always order #1 & #3. Soon Tofu ($17.50) with beef, mussel, shrimp for me; kimchi, beef, pork for her. Following the individually-portioned banchan, boiling red cauldrons loaded with silky tofu arrived hot out the kitchen and we quickly cracked an egg in to cook raw. Soup broth was rich savoury seasoning plus adjustable heat. Unfortunately the Bibimbap ($19.50) only came in one level of spice in the sauce, which was a level of heat that was too spicy for our child to enjoy. We noticed the prices were raised recently. The purple rice bottom accompanying the Soon Tofu makes for a good after-meal rice soup for which I enjoy having with the refillable banchan. Do as the locals do, and we always see this restaurant packed with Koreans. They also offer a 5% cash discount at the front counter. Skip it or hit it? Hit it for a warm Korean meal especially on a cold day.

This is kalguksu at its best outside of Korea in my humble opinion…read more This small restaurant keeps the flavors authentic by not dumbing down spice levels. Their Jjam-pong kalguksu packs a serious punch and for a spicy food lover like me, it was a welcome change. The signature beef kalguksu was delicious with lovely beefy broth that wasn't too heavy. The star of the meal was their fresh kimchi (gut-jeol-ee). The cabbage still retained a nice crunch and the kimchi paste was robust with heavy fish sauce notes that was so delicious. This kimchi also packed a good level of heat and paired very well with their handmade giant dumplings. I will be back to sample more of their offerings soon. For now, I will dream of their kimchi until my next visit!

Tried Korean kalguksu and king-size dumplings for the first time, and really enjoyed both…read more The Kimchi King-size Dumplings were huge--almost fist-sized, with six filling up the whole steamer. The wrapper was surprisingly thin and the filling was packed with kimchi, tofu, glass noodles, pork, and green onion. Very juicy and flavorful. The Jjamppong Kalguksu had chewy, handmade noodles with a nice bite. The seafood was fresh, though I found the broth a little mild. Definitely try it with their house kimchi--the cabbage was crisp and the seasoning was much richer than at most Korean restaurants I've tried. The two dishes came to under $40 with the 5% cash discount and were easily enough for two. A great place to try a different, more home-style side of Korean food.

Location/Service This place is right in the intersection of…read moreBayview/Major Mac, but it is in a smaller plaza right across the high school. It is a little tricky to access the plaza, but there is actually plenty of parking behind the store front that no one never realizes. Inside is pretty big, a lot of tables available to dine-in. You can have it to-go as well, which I seem to see it's like that most of the time. The owner, Peter, is a very nice guy. He explains all the items very clearly, provides good recommendation and makes sure you feel welcomed and enjoys the food. Food This place specializes cupbop - which actually is a classic staple street style food in Korean. It's kind of like a bibimbap, something you add together and mix it up. But cupbop usually also have macaroni salad, stir fried kimchi and a choice of protein like spam, pork, beef. It is a very hearty bowl, definitely good portion size and filling. And it's only $12.99 - that's pretty affordable in this current economy. Besides cupbop, they have street style Korean snacks like their toast, skewers and I think they started doing tteokbokki too. Honestly, this is a small business that deserves more recognition and it is very convenient for kids across the school and anybody in the neighbourhood.

To make matters worse, I paid over $10 for this container of kimchi. After getting home, I found that it was only about two-thirds full. The photo shows exactly what I received. Charging over $10 for an underfilled container like this is unacceptable. Bad service, poor value, and definitely not an experience I would recommend.

This location is small but the tables are spaced out so you can sit comfortably. It is in a busy plaza but it is never too crowded. You can order via the QR code and they are pretty quick!

It's packed with chopped chili(was not too spicy), imitation crab, egg, fish cake, carrots, cucumber, and pickled daikon.

Hmm...my partner and I were really craving yubuchobap (Korean inari sushi with toppings), so we…read moredecided to try Woojoo Bunsik because of its high Google rating. Unfortunately, it was extremely underwhelming. First off, the pricing was fucking wild. We got 2 spicy salmon yubus and 2 scrambled egg yubus, and it came out to nearly $20 with tax...for what are basically bite-sized pieces. On top of that, the toppings were very skimpy: the salmon ones were just a few small cubes mixed with a lot of spicy mayo, an the scramble eggs ones...they were just scramble eggs. Flavor-wise, nothing really stood out either, aside from the tofu skin itself (which was premade) Honestly, I'm starting to question these yubuchobap spots in general. I had a similar experience at YUBU before in Toronto--also disappointing and way overpriced (I remember paying around $30 for five pieces). At this point, it just doesn't feel worth ordering yubuchobap at a restaurant.

I've been wanting to try Hanyang Jokbal for a while, especially after hearing it was voted one of…read morethe best Korean restaurants in Toronto, and I can definitely see why! It was our first time trying jokbal (pork knuckle), so we were recommended by the staff to go with the Half & Half to get a bit of everything. We ordered the garlic jokbal and original bossam. The jokbal was super tender with a nice savoury, garlicky flavour, while the bossam (pork belly) was probably my favourite. It was thick-cut, yet really tender with a mild savoury taste that went so well with the wraps and banchan. The unlimited banchan and fresh wraps were a nice touch, and there were so many different combinations to try with the pork. We also got the DIY Seasoned Rice Balls, which were fun to put together and had a nice savoury flavour, along with the Seafood Pancake, which was crispy on the outside with a soft, savoury centre. Also want to mention the GENEROUS amount of seafood in the pancake, which I really appreciated and made the cost so worth it. The rose tteokbokki was creamy, slightly spicy, and had that comforting sweet-and-spicy flavour I love. Overall, everything was flavourful, fresh, and really satisfying. Definitely a great first introduction to jokbal, and I'd come back again!

Jokbal is a unique traditional Korean feast…read more Hanyang Jokbal in North York specializes in Korean braised pork hock. Hanyang was the prior name of Seoul, where this dish gained popularity. The Half & Half platter ($44) featured their original jokbal and our pick of garlic bossam. Both braised meats were soft with savory grilled flavor, while the jokbal skin had a gelatinous texture. Pork hock isn't exactly my preferred cuts but these had no gaminess; a slight disappointment was the chunky cuts instead of slices. The meal started with a salty bean sprout soup that helped to cleanse the palate. Lettuce wraps & garnishes such as kimchi, jalapeño, scallions were provided to balance out the meaty flavour. Seafood pancake ($24) was crisp and contained plenty of scallions and imitation crabmeat. For some fun, our party added several orders of DIY Seasoned Rice Balls ($12) which came with a variety of ingredients to mix using the provided plastic gloves. The tasty rice balls were easy to make with furikake, nori, mayo, sesame & tobiko. It was so easy even kids could make them. The interior became busy on our weekend visit, in a typical Korean restaurant atmosphere that felt authentic and welcoming. The staircase down to the basement washroom needs a clean and the utensils also required a replacement. The meal itself was tasty with portions large enough for sharing, making it a worthwhile family meal despite a few misses. It's the original of 5 locations now in Canada. Skip it or hit it? Even if pork hock isn't your thing, it's a spot we've enjoyed for the occasional meal.
