Huge thanks for the surprise topping in my pre-packed kimchi a stylish yellow white hair tucked right inside the container. Truly an unexpected experience! 🙃🙃🙃
Sadly, I had to throw away all of it because I was too grossed out to eat it.
I really like your restaurant and your dishes are great, but maybe… just maybe… hair caps while making kimchi? Fyi, my hair is thick and black
so this mystery hair definitely wasn’t mine :)

I ordered sundaeguk at this restaurant, but I couldn’t eat it and had to throw it away. It didn’t taste like Korean style sundaeguk at all. There seemed to be a seasoning or spice in it that doesn’t usually belong in the dish. Some people might like it, but it was really hard for me to eat. I will never order sundaeguk here again. It felt like a complete waste of money.

Having cold noodles in the summer is one thing but having cold noodles in cold weather is a different kind of comfort.

We always come here for their cold noodles. The broth is clean, and refreshing. But the real magic for us is pairing it with something hot on the side. Our go-to order every time: cold noodles + beef tripe soup. Hot and cold, rich and refreshing. The contrast just works💁‍♀️. Everything balances out so well, especially when it’s freezing outside.

The banchan is always generous and consistently good. Service here is genuine, kind, wholesome, and quick.

Cho Sun Ok is a longtime favorite for authentic Korean food in Toronto. The dishes are flavorful and hearty, with standouts like their hot stone bibimbap and perfectly marinated BBQ meats. The banchan variety is generous and always freshly prepared. Service is friendly and efficient, and while the restaurant often gets busy, the atmosphere stays warm and inviting. A great place if you’re craving traditional Korean home-style cooking

Cold noodles with fried dumplings was fine. I took #15.

Do NOT order the dumplings — especially #38 hot pot that comes with their “homemade” dumplings. The wrappers are unbelievably THICK, and the filling is very mediocre. There’s none of the savory flavor you’d expect from pork dumplings; honestly, you can barely tell they’re supposed to be pork. The staff mentioned that the skins are handmade, which is why sometimes they turn out too thick or too thin, but either way the texture just isn’t pleasant. Both my friend and I found ourselves missing the frozen dumplings from the supermarket — which says a lot.

How do you charge 23 plus for a naengmyun when the noodles aren’t even hand pulled and is from a factory 😂😂😂😂 too many menu option should just focus on making a few good foods instead of a circus of different dishes that all taste mediocre

My friends and I come here regularly, the food is always fresh and we get seed quite quickly! We’ve tried everything on the menu would say all the soups are good and the banchans rotate every now and then. I love they provide more than one ban chan, feels more like Korea. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the fried chicken/beef. Cold Noodles fire! Kim chi pancakes fire! Pork bone fire!

The best customer service I’ve ever experienced at a Korean restaurant!
I was genuinely impressed — we never had to ask for side dish refills. Every time the servers passed by, they offered to top them up, not just once or twice, but consistently throughout the meal. That level of attentiveness really stood out.
As for the food, it didn’t exactly wow me, but it wasn’t bad either. I’d definitely like to come back and try some of the other dishes I haven’t had yet.
We visited after 8 PM and didn’t have to wait at all, which was another big plus.

Came here around 1pm on a Monday and got seated within 10mins. Heard great things about the cold noodles so we ordered the mool naengmyeon + dumplings. We also got the kimchi and pork belly hot pot. The cold noodles were the best I’ve ever had! The broth was perfectly seasoned and not to vinegary. I loved the slushiness of the broth. We even got a refill of the noodles for like 8$. The hot pot was also good and the dumplings were decent as well. Would definitely come back for the cold noodles though and try another soup or dish.
