“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.“

“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... 😋😋😋“

“TLDR: Looked for a semi-healthy yet affordable food option for takeout so we could pair it with somaek 🤣

-[KIMCHI TUNA GIMBAP] $12.99
🐟 has kimchi, tuna, perilla leaf, mayo, burdock, carrot, egg, and pickled radish
🌶 truthfully, I really like kimchi so I would have wanted more kimchi to give this gimbap more of a spicy flavor but look at that filling to rice ratio ✨️

-[JALAPENO CRAB MEAT TUNA GIMBAP] $13.99
🦀 has crab meat, tuna, jalapeno, rice, carrot, cucumber, and egg
🌶 not really spicy but you can taste the jalapeno flavor regardless so it was enjoyable

-[CHICKEN TANGSUYUK] $18.99
🍗 sweet and sour Korean fried chicken
🍗 I personally liked that the sauce was separated from the fried chicken because it helped to keep the chicken crispier for longer
🍗 also idk how they fried this but it didn't cause me to have a sore throat afterwards 🤯 aka wow

-[MINI CHEESE KIMCHI JEON] $5.99
🌶 not that much kimchi flavor again 🥲 but still good to snack on
🌶 would have wanted more cheese flavor too but the mild cheese likely paired better with the subtle kimchi flavor of this one

📝 They have party trays that would be great to bring to gatherings/parties“

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

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Great good with great value“

“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 ❤️“

“Jjampong is the best in Toronto.“

“Authentic & Flavorful – Best Beef Bibimbap in Toronto!

I’ve been to this Korean restaurant a few times, and it never disappoints. Their raw beef bibimbap (Yukhoe Bibimbap) is hands down one of the best in the city. The fresh, high-quality beef, perfectly seasoned and served over warm rice in a sizzling stone bowl, creates an incredible contrast of textures and flavors. Every bite delivers a perfect balance of umami, heat, and richness.

What really makes this place stand out, beyond the delicious food, is the warm and welcoming service. On my latest visit, they even made a special congee just for my toddler, such a thoughtful and kind gesture that truly shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

“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?“

“the food was amazing! i got the special seol long tang and it tasted amazing. you can even season the food to your preference so that it will be to your liking. the side dishes that were served along the food were also fresh and delicious. will come back with friends and family“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!“

“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~~~“

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

“Great good with great value“

“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!“

“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“

“I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable and delicious Chungchun Rice Dogs are! The rice coating has an amazing texture on its own, and the toppings like potato or cornflakes add the perfect crunch. The sauces and seasonings really take the flavour to the next level. On top of that, the service is super friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely worth a visit!“

“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.“

“Craving Japanese or Korean food? Get them both here! They do both cuisines here at a high quality and reasonable price.

I eat Jajangmyeon quite often and they do a really good job making it here. The sushi roll was presented nicely and tasted just as good!

They open until 2am everyday so it's a great spot for those late night eats. I will definitely be back! 😋“

“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++++“

“Came here as a group of 6 and we ordered a variety of dishes off the menu.
Seafood gratin, uni pasta, spicy yaki beef udon, aburi salmon roll, karaage, nankotsu karaage, coconut ebi mayo, hashi wings, tontoro shishito, and spicy seafood tteokbokki.

Overall all the dishes tasted really good. I would definitely recommend: karaage, hashi wings, tontoro shishito, spicy seafood tteobokki, and the spicy yaki beef udon.

The service here was also really good, the stsff would regularly check on our table to refill our water and take the dishes away.

We ended up spending around 300 in total for about 12 dishes, a pitcher of beer, and 2 pops.“

“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.“

“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🤤🧡“

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

“One of the favorite places in North York!

They had nice 아줌마's who provided service foods!!

Belive they are all retired now..

When you have a craving, this is the place to go!“

“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“

“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.“

“Cook your own food. Good condiments“
