We were looking for a place late at night that serves high quality healthy tasty food at a fair price, and we were delighted with this. The handsome server was doing everything himself, serving, cooking, and everything else. The kalbee beef short rib and tacos were incredible. He even made a glass of hot milk for my friends daughter after she had a cry. We will be back.

Got kimbap and hotteok for takeout. The owner was so welcoming and accomodating. The food was really good too. I'm very happy that there's a convenient place to get good hotteok in the area.Not sure which business hours to follow though. Google maps and the sign outside of the door had different hours

Taste was okay. But .. so sad it wasn’t perfectly rolled(also cutting too.)I hope next time I can get better quality of food.

This is a restaurant I often recommend to people around me and go 1-3 times a week.I recommend the kimchi stew and kimchi rolled noodles as they are especially delicious, and the owner is also very attentive and friendly, so I feel good every time I go. I returned to Korea this time, and I was so busy during my last week in Canada that I regret not being able to eat kimchi stew and kimchi rolled noodles that week. I couldn't even say hello to the owner, but I was so grateful that he was so kind and friendly, and that he provided me with drinks and tacos! Thanks to you, I was able to recover my energy with the food I missed in other places. I hope you prosper! ?

Pretty good place to get korean food. Quite pricey though but it opens until late so it would be an option to go if you are around at night and wanting late night korean food. Pretty comfort and basic but it is good to try. Cheers!

Walked by and the design brought me in. Tried the hangover soup and it was definitely worth it and delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try the cold noodle.

The best coffee and Korean food spot in the neighbourhood.In a neighbourhood with few coffee shops and restaurants, Oiso is a real gem and godsend. They serve Timbertrain coffee, so you know it’s good.Tried several dishes including the egg rice bowl, cold noodles, and pork belly kimchi stew; all were delicious! Also appreciate the friendly service from Eric.

It’s great that it’s open on national holidays. Kimchi tofu soup is really tasty.

This small and unassuming spot is bright and airy with plenty of indoor tables. It is a no frills order at the counter and sit down type of spot. There is a good variety of dishes to choose from including their signature Kimchi Stew, Kimchi Makooksoo Noodle (perfect for the summer!) and other meat dishes. They have been open for just over a year now, and they recently introduced a breakfast menu.The new breakfast menu is perfect for delicious homey comforting dishes to kick start your day. The soups are warm and comforting and great for the upcoming cold weather. The Korean Army Stew aka Budaejjigae is always a go to order for me. This classic dish features Spam, bacon, hotdog, baked beans, cheese, kimchi and rice cake. This version was spot on, with plenty of ingredients and perfectly cooked ramen noodles. I also love the gimbap here - it's got a great filling to rice ratio.
