The Owl of Minerva

It's not the best Korean food around, but it does the job

Great menu and great service...

Taste ok. Serve alcohol

Thank you auntie for still serving us last night even 45 minutes before closing, you’re awesome. We got the kamjatang, sundubu, kimchi fried rice and bulgogi, everything was so good and authentic. It was perfect for a very cold night. we will definitely come back, highly recommend this restaurant!

Ordered Bulgogi and Japchae. Worst I've had as it was so bland. Had to pay 40$ for both and did not even finish half of it

I had breakfast at The Owl of Minerva yesterday morning and ordered the KamJaTang (pork bone soup). This hearty dish, made with cabbage, potato, and Korean spicy pepper powder, was just what I needed since I wasn’t feeling my best. I requested it extra spicy, and it came with a side of rice. The warm, flavorful soup definitely hit the spot.

Since I arrived right at opening, the service was quick and seamless, and the quiet atmosphere made for a pleasant dining experience.

While the food and service were great, I’m unsure if I would recommend it due to the pricing. The KamJaTang cost $17 before taxes, which felt steep compared to similar dishes at other Korean restaurants. I remember coming here during my university days when the same dish was under $10. Although the price increase is understandable given inflation and rising costs, it still seems a bit high for what’s offered.

If you’re craving a comforting bowl of pork bone soup and don’t mind the higher price point, it’s worth a try. For me, while the experience was enjoyable, I’m still on the fence about whether it’s worth the splurge.

We ordered grill beef ribs, ginseng chicken soup and potato pork soup. The food is average, but the price is expensive. Not enough staff to serve customers, asked for checking out several times.

Flavours are good but the pork bones were tough and didn’t fall off the bone.

Banchan was kimchi, seaweed and pickled radish. Wish they had the potatoes or sprouts to give it balance.

First time visiting in over a decade.
The food came out relatively quickly after ordering.
However, the food was quite expensive given the taste was pretty standard.
The food was not bland, but it was also not flavourful.

Ordered the beef rib soup with rice cake for lunch. It came with 3 Korean side dishes, kimchi, pickled turnip and sprouts. Food was delicious. Atmosphere of the restaurant is casual, good service, but a little pricey.

Kid-friendliness: The servers didn’t mind at all that we ordered one dish to share as two would be too much for us. Friendly staff.

This place is definitely a ripoff. 15 dollars for a small bowl of instant noodles..Do not come!!! will never come back. Every dish is almost just half the amount of other locations usually offer
