“Restaurant Review: A Must-Try for Korean Fried Chicken Lovers

I recently visited this Korean restaurant in Toronto, and it was fantastic! Their fried chicken is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The variety of sauces, especially the soy garlic is incredible.

What truly stood out was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with big smiles and were super attentive, making me feel right at home. If you’re craving delicious Korean fried chicken and great service, this is the spot to visit!“

“Highly recommended Korean restaurant👍
Comfortable tables and chair, spacious patio area.
Great dining experience overlooking Yonge street, busy but lovely street.
Good food
Good price
Friendly and supportive servers
Should make a Google review with a photo, show the server to get free dumplings/French fries/a pop 👍“

“Meats sliced cleanly off the bone and sliced to perfect bite size! Got our jokbal cravings down with just right size. Highly recommend the combo menu for 2.

Parking: Parking right beside a court or free if you buy something from whole food.“

“It’s yummy, good service, clean and place is better than old place“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“On a reco from someone from Korea and who can make gimbap herself, I ventured out to find this recommended gimbap place after finding about the Korean dish from a TV show. I gotta say that I was impressed by the size of the roll and the quality for the price. Two rolls is a lot of food. One is enough; two is maybe gluttonous.

Telling the front staff that this was my first time there, she recommended the Kimchi Tuna Gimbap and then the Bulgogi Gimbap. The rolls were well-presented and were indeed delicious. Based on the quickly forming line-up for a weekday lunch, this place is clearly a favourite in the neighbourhood.“

“First time here and found a right place for authentic Korean bbq with my favourite kimchi stew so yummy ! Will surely come back again even needed to queue... 😋😋😋“

“Food was so delicious, large portions, and affordable price! Fav was the chicken and rose tteokbokki. A small but cozy spot. Service was really good, they were so nice. You also get a discount if you pay cash. Now one of my fav places, will def go back! Perfect for your cravings.“

“Jjampong is the best in Toronto.“

“I cant peak enough about the food at this place. it's by far the best value for your money. Not only is the food delicious but the portions are very reasonable for the $ they ask. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.. you'll never go anywhere else for chicken again. Their Kim Bap is really good option. Very fresh and very healthy, my wife lives off them!!“

“Thank you to our server for the night, Hailey! So kind and very accommodating just like her fellow co-workers. You are greatly appreciated and have made our dinner very easy going and comfortable.

Food was just right and experience was bang on. 100% recommended to my friends and family and definitely coming back!“

“I have been coming here for 5 years throughout my time at York and they are constantly one of my favorite place to eat on campus, they are actually rather affordable, the food is delicious and the staff always so pleasant! I’m really going to miss coming here ❤️“

“Ate here on a Saturday evening around 7:40. Almost no customers and we got seated basically right away. Ordered a combo that came with marinated beef, beef intestines, onions, and some side dishes. Came with soup, onion salad, and complementary lettuce too. We also refilled our side dishes for free. Combo cost around $60. Would highly recommend if you have 2 people with a big appetite or 3 people with small appetites.“

“Great good with great value“

“The spicy beef soup was packed with flavors and their Malado special roll was good too. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely go again. Keep in mind the owners run the place solely by themself so the service will be little slow but they are so sweet that it feel welcoming. Must try“

“Friendly service and good food! We often go with their Combo A which comes with Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle), Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and Tangsuyuk (deep fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) which is perfect for 2-3 people.“

“I received stone rice cake (3 types) from a friend today. I found out why I asked what time the pickup would be when I placed my order. The rice cake was warm and delicious, as if it had been made and delivered on time. They beautifully engraved the words 'First Birthday' on the rice cake cake for free, and there were plenty of songpyeon and sorghum red bean rice cakes. I was moved. thank you The price was also better than other places. I highly recommend it?“

“Kosam made my evening so delicious. I really love the taste, beef rib was OMG, above my expectation. I would love to come again and try another dishes as well. Service was so gentle and I appreciate the way they respond and served us the food. Thank you so much.“

“My friend is a big fan of Apkujung Restaurant and I finally had the chance to stop by on his recommendation! If you're looking for an authentic Korean meal that feels home-cooked, this is a great spot to check out.

Located on Yonge Street just south of Steeles, there is plenty of parking available at Centerpoint Mall and then you just have to cross the street.

What we got:
- Ginseng Chicken Soup with Noodles and Congee
- Galbi Jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)
- Grilled Mackerel

Final Thoughts:
The Ginseng Chicken was nothing mind-blowing in terms of flavour, but it was incredibly comforting and hearty. The pot is served tableside and the staff help you cook each course starting with the poached chicken, noodle soup, and finally turning leftover soup into congee.

The Galbi Jjim is my must-order dish! The short ribs are super tender, and the sauce is delicious. It may be a tad sweet, depending on your taste, but this was great with rice.

Overall, I find the prices a bit on the pricey side but they come with a larger portion and I always leave full. I'd want to bring my parents here or return with a large group to try more dishes.“

“What an amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and the service was great! I recommend it! Gotta try it 👍🏽😋😛🤪“

“Everything tastes great! I love their kimbap especially tuna and shrimp. Spicy pork, Tonkatsu, chewy noodle and pork fried rice are my favorites. If you are looking for delicious kimbap and Korean food, I definitely recommend you try them!!“

“The best korean fried chicken I've ever had. 🤤“

“I just recently cam back from Korea after 5 years. Its amazing this place is still standing. The taste and vibe has gotten so much better. The servers are exceptionally friendly and the food is so GOOD its like i am back in korea!“

“Great good with great value“

“아줌마들 셋이 오늘 낮에 빙수생각이 나서 쑥스러움을 무릅쓰고 들어갔어요~~ 인절미 팥빙수~~ 거친 팥고물에 달지도 않고 너무 맛있어서 계속 감탄하며 먹었네요~~ 서빙하는 언냐들도 이쁘고 대박 친절했어요~~~ 기분좋은 하루 였어요~~~“

“Cute Korean restaurant about 3-5 min walk from Finch Subway station. Tip: exit through the passenger pickup area of Finch station if you're walking, that's the closest exit to the restaurant. I came here specifically to try their Ganjang Gejang (raw blue crab marinated in soy sauce), it seems that they might be the only restaurant that serves this dish in Toronto, that I could find and know of. There is a very slight fishy smell when I sniffed it, which is expected since it's raw crab, but when I was eating it, I didn't find it fishy at all, it was really delicious. The crab roe was soft and rich, the meat was smooth and fresh, everything went really well with the rice. I can see why this dish is called a rice thief now. I was really tempted to order another bowl of rice but on account of my diet I stopped myself. I would definitely try this dish again. I also ordered the kimchi stew and my friend got a spicy beef soup. Although it was not as outstanding as the Ganjang Gejang, Both were delicious and portions were good. The side dishes were good as well. Not sure if there's free refills or not since we didn't ask for any. The service was good, it's a smaller shop, seems like it's family owned. People were doing multi jobs so if you wanted more tea or something you have to ask them, they do really try to check up you though and would walk around once in awhile to refill your tea and see how you're doing. Overall a good dining experience, I would come back to try their raw crab. However if I was just going out for Korean food then I may not specifically go out of my way to come here since although the other dishes were good, it's not super outstanding. Aside from indoor dining they also have outdoor dining, there's a big white tent outside, they provides pretty good shelter, there's also hanging lights out there, really cute set up. We dined inside though since it was windy.“

“Nice food. Not too strong in flavor like other Chinese cuisine. Deep-fried dishes are not really crispy but instead soft and puffy, which is not my favorite. However, their noodles are good. I recommend trying out the spicy seafood noodles.“

“I got rose teokkbokki and 2 type of chicken, gangnam style and secret sauce. The food was good but the rose teokkbokki portion was decent and there isn’t a lot of ingredients mainly sauce and cabbage. But the chicken was both good, recommend for low spice eater, definitely will order again“

“Very neat place - clean and comfortable.

Appetisers were great! The waitress offered a refill.

The bibimbap was a little disappointing. The ingredients are fresh, but quite tasteless. It came with a side hot sauce, but not the sweet sauce.

The customer service is good. They are friendly :)“

“1주일에 한번은 꼭 오는 집.“

“Yummy corn dogs and chicken wings. Guy at the cashier super nice and super cool. He the goat. Mozzarella dog was delicious, other dog was super good too. Chicken wings were saucy and fries were yummy. Come to this location for great food and amazing costumer service!!! 🐐🐐🐐 ‼️‼️‼️“

“This is where you can get Korean Style fresh Fluke/Flounder Sashimi in Toronto✨They have a fish tank full of fresh Seafood, so we knew the quality and freshness is guaranteed! We tried their Small Fluke Combo- which came with 30 pieces of Fluke Sashimi, 6 pieces of Mixed Tempura, Spicy Salmon & Tuna Sashimi Salad, Fish Stew, and Rice! You can wrap the fresh Fluke Sashimi in Perilla Leaves or Lettuce dipped in Korean Hot Sauce, it’s so good! The Fish Stew had Fish Bones and Veggies in it, super hearty!“

“Highly recommended. Good service. Minseok is very nice and friendly.“

“Okay service but yummy foods and side dishes!! The pork bone soup is a must get along with rice and side dishes. Pairs well and they open up till late. It's always super busy in here. Food is good. Service is not up to par but you gotta look one lady for all those tables. I would keep coming back A++++“

“This place is a hidden gem , i almost don’t want many ppl to know about it. It’s a perfect place for a casual night out with good vibe , cheap drinks and delicioussssss food. I have tried almost everything on their menu and every-time loved it more than before. The atmosphere and decor can be improved.“

“I have had a variety of food here and it has all been excellent. My favorite is the beef bibimbap.

The owner is always friendly and pleasant to see. She always greets me with a smile.

This is a great place for lunch.“

“There are no seats inside the restaurant! Because the wait is often long and tiring, it would be nice if the whole thing wouldn't have to be spent standing up.

Not incredibly accessible. If you struggle with stairs but can manage, it may not be a big deal because there are 1-3 (i can't recall how many exactly, but likely 2) at the entrance. However, if you need wheelchair access, you might be out of luck since there are steps and the door is quite small. You would have to knock on the window and hope they come to take your order outside if you're alone!!

Anyways, the food is decent, I have bought it multiple times. It is not extraordinary however which is why i rate it 4 stars but I love the variety and it is not bad.

Many deals and rewards if you sign up with them.

Wheelchair accessibility: More about this written above.“

“Very reasonably priced meals, we came for lunch and ordered some of the lunch sets. I got the sushi and sashimi lunch, which judging from some of the older pictures, has maintained a decent quality and consistency.

The meal came with miso soup and green tea. Service was good as well! Limited parking outside the restaurant but I think side street parking is available nearby.“

“My family and I had a wonderful time at Huh Ga Ne! We got the deep fried dumplings and BBQ ribs. Both were delicious and we ended up getting another plate of dumplings. The side dishes were also amazing!
The place was pretty packed, but we were able to be seated right away.“

“The Owl is a staple of this community and has been around for ages. The price is not bad for what you get, and the fact it's open 24/7 is a big plus. Service is efficient, and the quality here is comparable to the other places in this area. If Daldongnae is the go-to for KBBQ, then the Owl is the go-to for a solid pork bone soup.“

“Aww they are really developed & improved a lot! And they made the food with heart. Thank you for the delicious waffle.

The inside of waffle is filled with sweet red bean until the tip of the fish waffle! But not crazy amounts filling that kept the outside golden crisp🤤🧡“

“Seating area: A lot of seating area available but does get pretty busy/stuffy

Price: quite pricey relative to portion size

Wifi: available

Outlets: limited

Overall vibes: cute interior

Can i work/study here comfortably? 6/10“

“Great environment, lite refreshing music, Friendly staffs.....Too good“

“This take out place is hidden in a food court. The yummy special is the best deal. At 36 dollars you get three types of meat (beef, short ribs and chicken) and lots of side dishes and rice. The portion is well enough for two people. The meat is grilled well and has the charcoal flavour.

I believe the meat is supposed to be non spicy but somehow I got the spicy one first time I ordered. I’d choose the spicy one over the non spicy. The meat is just more juicy and tender.

What surprises me the most is the egg battered zucchini. It’s light on the taste and not oily. A perfect side dish to pair with the spicy meat.

For the kimchi, it’s not that great and I think it’s store bought.

I also ordered the seafood pancake at a different time and it was not great. Too much batter, too starchy, and I can’t taste/find any seafood.

The place is run by a Korean couple and I noticed that lots of Koreans going there and buying their foods. It must say something about the authenticity.

Highly recommend the Yummy Special (ask for spicy). Cant say too much about other items on the menu as I haven’t tried them yet.“
