A small restaurant mainly provides pork bones soup, only two servers worked very hard and busy, sometimes ignoring the customers. We ordered the hotpot regular size with fried rice served at the end. Big portion. The taste is good.

The staff named Lia was very nice and very accommodating with our request to lessen the spicyness of the best seller pork bone soup. We came in during the day of the eclipse and we got the whole place to ourselves since they do not have any other customers at that time. Come here if you want to have the soup as it is really the best Gamjatang that I've tried so far.

Pork bone soup is top notch. Also, their kimchi is the best I've had

Really enjoyed the food here. The gamjatang was great, and had a massive portion of meat. The seafood pancake is also fantastic, especially at the price point. For this size of a seafood pancake, most other spots have it over $20, but this was was $16, which I found comparatively to be quite the deal.Also not pictured are the side dishes. They were all good. Usually there’s one or two I’m not a big fan of but I liked them all. The gamjatang also comes with a tangy, savoury soy sauce based dipping sauce, and I found it was a great way to mix up the flavours as you eat, and it helped cut through the soup really well.

Pork Bone Soup is a must try with chunks of meat that easily falls off the bone and served on a portable cook top to keep the soup warm, which is perfect for winter. It is said to have lots of health benefits. Large size is good for sharing with 4 or 5 person. They have limited items on their menu but they sell the best tteokbokki I have ever tried. Price is reasonable.

The place was packed but we were seated fairly quickly. The food had large portions and were all fairly priced. The side dishes were delicious and they gave us refills too. The pork bone soup was flavourful, authentic and very tender. The kalguksu was tasty with high quality noodles. The tonkatsu was also very tender. The servers were all very kind and the food came quickly, we would come back!

Fried chicken is great. However, they are stingy with the side dishes. You can only get side dishes when you order food from the first page of their menu.For example, I ordered fried chicken which cost about $30 whereas the pork bone soup on the first page is about $17. I didn't get side dishes. It doesn't make sense. Other Korean restaurants don't do this...

I am very shocked this Korean establishment has a 4.5 star rating. Generally, the food was beyond mediocre and the service was abysmal. Their speciality here is the gamjatang soup. If it is their speciality, you would expect the soup to be divine. This has to be the worst gamjatang I ever had in Toronto. Furthermore, it was also the most expensive gamjatang I ever had. The restaurant has a very limited menu, yet their prices are very high and it took them a long time to prepare the food. The restaurant was severely understaffed for the Valentine’s Day holiday. There was only one waitress servicing the entire restaurant and the manager was the cashier. The manager would often forget what we asked. I can see the waitress tried her best to service every table but unfortunately, they need to hire at least 2 more people to help her. It was hard chasing the waitress down for service. The manager of this restaurant needs to properly staff people on busy nights. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming here again due to this experience.

r a dinner with a friend, I ordered the Regular size Mapo Gamjatang as well as a side of Korean rice balls, I have to say it was really good. The service was quick and the food came quickly and I was definitely surprised at the size of the portion. I think there was around 4-5 pork bones in the bowl as well as a good helping of rice. I was a little disappointed that the rice balls were self assembly, I was given gloves to make them. The rice was quite hot when it arrived so to mix them it took a while to cool down first. This resulted in a nice warm rice ball when finally made. We got a good helping of side dishes as well although we weren’t approached about refilling so I’m not sure if it is free refills. Lastly the restaurant isn’t the largest but for coming on a Wednesday at 6:30 pm I was quickly seated and the restaurant stayed consistently busy. It wasn’t overly loud but I did notice the speakers would play music that would continuously cut out. The ambiance made it fine for a good location to catch up with someone! I would definitely recommend going here for pork bone soup.
