Mapo Gamjatang - Korean Restaurant Scarborough - Pork Bone Soup

slow service

This is one of our favourite place. We come here almost every week. The restaurant is clean and the food is delicious especially the corn cheese! Side dishes are very yummy! And they switch them by season!

The service is the best! Soyun is super nice and very warm! She is very detail oriented and the best part of her is she remembers what we always order! We feel so warm and welcome at this place. She is above and beyond what she is doing!

We highly recommend this place!

Try the Yonge Street one first it was great. Then I came to this one. The spicy pork is also good, and the staff are very helpful. Overall, the taste and value for money (no discount when comparable to Yonge, and menu photo are miss leading with rice ball ) seems the Yonge Street one is better, and it feels a bit less authentically Korean.

Deep and flavorful soup! Huge portions. Great prices. Friendly staff.

If you want Korean bone soup, this is the the best place. Had a good lunch here, the staff is very welcoming and was too kind to forgive me (almost brought home their apron🤭)
💕🥰 thank you for the good food.
Worth the heat😊

Had a lovely experience on May 16, around 9:30pm. The kimchi is so good and the female waitress was very thoughtful. Thank you :)

The best gamjatang experience I've had outside of Korea! I arrived with my party of 2 and we were seated immediately. We ordered the Mapo Gamjatang Jeongol, which is supposed to serve 2-3 people, but could easily feed up to 4-5. Every element of the dish was fantastic, from the fresh vegetables, to the delicate glass noodles, to the tender and delicious pork bones. The broth was rich and soothing, but I could use it a tad bit spicier (if I'm being really picky). We also ordered the tteokbokki, which was one of the best I've had as well. The banchan side dishes were nice as well, especially their kimchi.

The service of all the staff was very friendly and welcoming as well.

Shortly after we arrived, the restaurant really filled up fast and some parties had to wait for a table, so be mindful that it seems like quite a popular destination in the evening.

Overall, Mapo Gamjatang was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back again!

Price: Overpriced.
Size: Small portion.
Taste: Just ordinary food that every Korean family can cook
Conclusion: The food feels overpriced for the portion size, the taste is average;like simple cooking than something you would expect from a restaurant.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and the server was amazing despite the large amount of customers. Food was great and extremely filling for the cost.

Their pork bone soup was delicious. Perfect for the cold weather. The regular size was well priced and came with a lot of meat.

I think the regular gamjatang is enough for me and can't imagine if I ordered the large one.

I ordered two pork soups from this restaurant, but both had a very bad smell and were not eatable. When I reached home, I immediately called and explained the issue. The staff member first told me there was no need to return the food and said she would speak with the manager about a refund. A few minutes later, she called back and told me I could come and get my refund. However, while I was on the way, she called again and said I must bring the food to get the refund. I explained that I had already thrown it away based on her earlier instruction. She then spoke very rudely and refused the refund. This was a very disappointing experience.
