I've eaten here over 50 times, always been good but this time the pork stir fry had no flavor at all :( had to add my own soy and gochujang. Hoping for better next time. Will change to 5 stars if food is better next time.

Hi I'm the owner of Hamilton owl.I read a review about a bug came out from our soup. I really apologize it happened. However, i have noticed it was mussel hair, not a bug.Please call me any time.

This is the most disgusting restaurant I have ever seen in Hamilton. I ordered tofu soup via Uber, and halfway through I found this cockroach-like bug, so disgusting!!! I'm pretty sure this is a disgusting bug. This kind of dirty and disgusting restaurant should be closed earlier! I don't know what kind of restaurant would treat their food like this, it's simply disgusting to consumers!

I reviewed this place two years ago and left two stars2022, I was complaining that standards have dropped and it was no longer tasty and spicy. when I compared it 5-10 years agoI went today and the food has immensely improved since 2022. The portions were more generous , and the flavor was much better. I didn't ask for extra spicy but i was quite happy with the food . I'm sure if you asked for extra spicy they would prepare it for you. Overall the dishes were very tasty. The side dishes and kimchi was good quality.The only complaint is the prices are quite high. two dishes, meat and soup including with 2 bowls of rice is 44$ not including tip. Usually Korean places tend to be higher than average low priced places , 44$ feeds two peoplePrices are up everywhere unfortunately ??‍♀️

I came here as a traveler but I was not welcomed. The food was mid. I am a big fan of soondubu so I’ve tried many places but this was probably the worst one I’ve had. It’s not bad but it’s also not that good. The staff never checked on us or came by to refill our water or anything. They did their job to make us food for the price. But the staff kept pressuring me to tip her like you did nothing buddy. In fact, I was the one who had to walk to her whenever I needed something. Stop the tipping culture especially if you don’t deserve it!

Not sure if they've changed chefs but suddenly everything is extremely spicy.. the tofu soup and rice cake were hard to eat. The tofu soup had way too much oil.

The Owl always has great service and the food is definitely authentic and a reasonable price. Not a fancy restaurant by any means but a great place if you like Korean food.

We are regular customers to this place. Food is good and people here are kind. Just one thing they can improve is the atmosphere of the place.
