I went recently and ordered a sizzling hot plate Bulgogi (dine in). When the dish arrived, there was zero sizzle. In fact, the dish arrived just warm. Either the restaurant had it sitting around or took short cuts and never heated up the hot plate. Flavours were okay, not great not bad. The portion was on the smaller size compared to other Toronto Korean eats. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it.

Their bibimbap is excellent, and the staff are very kind and polite. Highly recommended.

Food was fabulous, atmosphere is wonderful and hospitality was lovely. The place was packed and 3 of us were there around 3pm on a Saturday for a very late lunch.

Came here for dinner on a weekend and there was only one person working front of the house. The restaurant was packed. Between patrons paying, serving food and clearing tables, we waited 20 mins to be seated and then another 15 minutes to have our orders taken. When the food arrived, the rice was dried and the side dishes weren't as delicious as other authentic Korean restaurants.

Food is still great, but rising prices and no refill of sides makes me think twice about coming back. Sides used to always be free refill, then they changed it to 1 refill per table, which is clearly stated in the menu. But the waitress said that we had to pay $5 per side. What Korean restaurant ever charges for side refills??

We were forced to tip 15% with no mention of that anywhere. She already input it in the bill and told us we had to pay. So why am I paying extra tip, AND not getting any refills.

Tried this place for the first time and this place was incredible and the service was great. Our server was so tentative and everytime we dropped a chopstick she will be there with a new one. Pork bone soup was spicy and good. Even the kimchi plate was great!!

Ok this is one of the better and best Korean restaurants in Scarborough. The soups does not disappoint, i ate at restaurant and had take outs, both were excellent.

I went back this week alone for lunch, i didnt have breakfast and had a long rainy day. I just ate really fast and was hungry. hahaha. Aunty saw and took my empty plate and added extra sides for everything with out me asking. She was really looking out for me, like my mom would. I was so grateful. Thank you for maling my stomach full.

Had saturday lunch there. Staff was nice but there was only 1 waitress to serve the whole restaurant & it was full house. So we had to wait quite a bit to order and to get our food. Had beef bulgogi, soon tofu and seafood pancake. Everything was good except seafood pancake was too fluffy for me. I prefer thinner & crispier versions.. portions are large and therefore more expensive than usual Korean restaurant (I think ended up almost $100 including tip for 3 dishes). So probably not for couples or small family who like to enjoy several dishes.

Came here through google. What a wonderful find. Atmosphere and service is great. Bulgogi was great and very generous portion. But the sides are where it’s at. As one person, they gave me a tray with 5 delicious generous sides (and you get one time refill). In a time where the cost of everything is going up, here you will leave with fuller wallets and very full tummies.

Been coming a long time. Food invariably great. A few good selections not too spicy. Service is ok but could use another waitstaff when busy. Go there anyway!
