Not good food, especially compared to the numerous korean restaurants I have eaten in Toronto and around the world. I knew it was not good and I knew not to trust the good reviews here, they probably do not know good and authentic Korean food. The Bulgogi soup, the beef was chewy and the soup was meh! The Kamjatang was not good either! I have eaten in another Minerva restaurants, and it was also meh so this is my last time in this chain of restaurant. I was craving for Korean food to tonight and in our area this was just one of two Korean ones, probably should have tried the other! Serves me right to give in to my cravings!

The place’s atmosphere was also bland like their food, it has a cafeteria atmosphere, unlike other Korean restaurants, where you can feel the authenticity.

The service was meh as well. I saw customers leaving and they said their thank yous, and the owner or staff did not even acknowledge them. And they also have the gall to ask for a service tip even if it is for take-out, I mean it is prevalent nowadays but there are some places that do not do this egregious custom, which is commendable.

I went to this restaurant with my wife this past Saturday night. The service was okay. The food that I ordered was good, with the exception of what my wife ordered, which was pork bone soap. My only complaint was not enough meat and barely enough soap. I noticed the table next to me ordered the same meal as my wife, and that gentleman got way more meat and soap base than my wife. I want to bring to your attention that you please keep it fair and consistent as both my wife and I love Korean food and would like to come back to support you all.

The food here is always good and consistent. Been here many times now, it's got to be the cleanest and best managed location.

Giving them a 1 star, its my 3rd time this month coming here 1 minute past 9pm (9:01 pm). They close at 9:30 yet they refuse to take my order. Put a sign up or something. Why put your hours on google and your front door that you close at 9:30pm? Perhaps it's always the one male waiter with a blue jays hat, all 3 occasions was with him.

The restaurant specializing in pork bone soup does not sell pork bone soup. This restaurant needs the chain store headquarters to investigate this deceptive behavior. I wasted time and money on this trip. I will never eat at this chain restaurant again.
