Food is great ! A true gem of comfort food . Healthy and hearty. The waitress ate very genuine and lovely , just the place can get a bit cold but other than that I’d highly recommend this bistro.

Very warm greeting ? from both of the nice Korean waitresses as my Lady Friend and I entered Ssal Korean Bistro .I was very pleased with the layout of the menu and the choices available.I had Miso soup, Kim Chi & Bugogi and she had Soon Du Boo (Spicy Tofu Soup).They brang me frequent reloads of the Korean Pickles (Kim Chi) etc which was my favourite part so I really loved having refills of that.They were nice to check if we needed anything frequently. We had tea. It was awesome.I wonder which to try there next time?! ????? You have to be odd to be #1.If you Love something cherish it cause you don't know what you had until you've lost it....and you've lost me.Parking: Street ParkingKid-friendliness: Kids EVERYWHERE!!Wheelchair accessibility: Flat doorway...huh duuurrrrr

Reina was just absolutely lovely! We asked for her recommendations and she did not disappoint. The husband is gluten intolerant and she checked in with the kitchen and was able to accomodate. I had the spicy gal-bi with a side of rice, and the husband got the stone bowl bibimbap with tamari on the side. The gal-bi portion was generous and scrumptious - I crushed the entire plate. She offered to bring out more of the side dishes (kimchi, picked radish, sprouts, etc) but we didn't need it. I really enjoyed the food, and would most definitely return to try other things on the menu. The service was outstanding; Reina made the experience even better! My only regret was not taking photos to share!

I was super impressed with this bistro tonight! It was my first time in and my friend and I enjoyed a few amazing dishes. The K Chicken is out of this world delicious, and the bulgogi beef and our japchae noodle dish was excellent! The service was gracious, attentive, and perfect! The atmosphere was wonderful as well. I will be back, and bringing friends to experience this very special bistro!

Love this place!!! Staff is very polite and the food is authentic with more options added to their menu. Can’t go wrong with anything that has Bulgogi (yum)! Clean, spacious and worth checking out.

Best fried chicken on the north shore! The staff are wonderful and it's priced really well. It's literally one of the few things our fussy eater will

Everything was great and we were very surprised by the big portions. Needless to say, we did not walk away with an empty stomach.

Ssal is one of the few places on the North Shore that serves authentic Korean food, like dwenjang jjigae and ojingeo bbokeum. Reina was my waitress, and, despite being the only server on a Friday evening (with a ton of customers!), was so warm and helpful. I hope she knows that her efforts are appreciated!

The best Korean restaurant in the Northshore. Must try the seafood pancake with makkoli (fermented korean rice wine) balgoogi is fantastic. Love the pork dumplings. Great deep fried Korean chicken. All and all great food and service. Sorry no photos we ate everything too fast.
