If one thinks that the bibimbap is perfect for summer workday lunch thanks to its light and refreshing flavor, the pork bone soup would just be the best dinner choice for winter. The word one could think of to describe the pork bone soup, is warm. It warms up the month, the stomach and the heart.
The pork is stewed, tender and flavorful. I don’t mind being messy and try my best to get every bit of meat with the chopsticks, my hand and my teeth. It isn’t the best scene - but who cares.
The kimchi radish is crunchy, bringing a nice contrast to the tenderness of the pork and the potato. And the sourness of the kimchi, on the other hand, compliments the spiciness of the soup so well.
And don’t forget to add a bowl of rice into your order. (It really should not even be an opt-out!) Trust me, you neeeed the rice! Rice is this perfect canvas for all the other flavors to showcase their colors. And the texture of the rice, soft but with a bit of a chew, really brings everything together.
Drizzle some soup on the rice and have a mouthful with the pork and the kimchi, and there, you have your moment of satisfaction after a stressful long-day work.
One good thing about this place is that the overall flavor profile, at least for the dishes I have tried, is not really heavy and spicy, although the owner is really from South Korea. If in a sense that spicy food with strong flavors can be described as “aggressive”, the food flavor here would be called gentle, warm and friendly - exact the same impression the owner lady would leave you with. I know that most Korean food would be a lot spicier - but the food here will not strike you as “unauthentic”, not like some “modified Asian food” ( you know what I’m talking about). Rather, the food offered by this restaurant feels more like, your good buddy from South Korea really wants you to try their hometown food but also well aware that you are not that good with very spicy stuff, so they go out their way to find the right balance in cooking and seasoning and flavoring, so you don’t miss the essence of the dish but still feel very comfortable enjoying it. And I enjoyed it so much. And I will come again and again.

This place was so delicious! Such a homey vibe and the woman running the restaurant is so sweet and kind 🥰 I love eating homemade Korean food and I love that there is now a place to go to in the Kanata/stittsville area! It just hits the spot. Highly recommend this place!

Food: toboki sauce was watery and not properly seasoned. Japchae was okay, but wasn't cooked properly. The bibimbop was cold. We ordered there in person and ate immediately, so the issues with cooking weren't related to ordering or anything. Other reviews said the serving sizes were good, but this wasn't my experience given the intersection between food quality and price. I'm comparing all to Korean Palace which was great food. Service: they were really personable and nice, but we stood and waited without service for 10 minutes, we had to ring the bell twice before anyone even noticed we were there. Atmosphere: it smelled like cleaning solution covering up the smell of old wet sponges. The cutlery was in drawers which you could take from yourself, I personally find this less hygienic that everyone's hands can go in there.

A very small and quaint restaurant with a homey vibe. We were greeted with a kind and happy smile and given great service. The food was delicious. I had the Dakgalbi and it was seasoned to perfection. The portion sizes are fairly large too, and I left feeling satisfied. Don’t let any emptiness in this place deter you! This place is a hidden gem.

I love this place! The food is great, economical and plentiful. It's a hidden gem!
We spent almost $100 today for 3 dishes and 1 sushi, and then we had to go to the next door, Pizza Hut to order a large pizza to feed my two kids again ! Service, 0; portion, 1; taste, 2.
