Jin Dal Lae Korean Restaurant

Pre pandemic prices for Korean food. I hope it stays that way. Good dolsot bibimbop, great tdopoki, but the star is their kimchi pancake. So crispy.

took our daughter as she lives just down the street and we like to try all the places when we visit. Great price and we will b back

Best korean restaurant around Toronto! Food✅ price✅ variety✅ portion size✅

Literally best value for money you can get around downtown & everything tastes so good too! I was SHOCKED their seafood noodles soup was filled thoroughly with all seafood varieties for just $14.95!

(Expect a bit of queue during peak hours)

So darn good, and at a very low price. Recommend the Pork stew, and An-dong jjimdak.

was ok overall

We went for lunch today at 2pm and waited around 20 min for a table for two. It was totally worth the wait. We had the kimchi pancake and the soft tofu stew. The kimchi pancake is the best one I’ve had, and the stew had a perfect spice level. I would definitely return

I arrived at the store around 3pm on a Sunday, and there were actually two groups of customers waiting in front. There weren't many seats in the store, so I waited for about 20 minutes. After taking a seat, there was still a steady stream of customers, with new customers coming in, which shows how good the business is.
The meals are rich in variety and reasonably priced, including appetizers, stews, grilled meats, and noodles. The seafood pancakes that are a must-order at almost every table are very delicious, with moderate thickness, crispy skin and rich ingredients. The portion is very large, which is a great deal at this price. The two of us conveniently ordered beef bone soup and mutton stew. The stew included glass noodles and came with a bowl of white rice, so we didn’t have to worry about not being full. The six side dishes that come with the meal are also very good, and you can refill them after you finish. I like the bean sprouts, fish slabs and kimchi the most.

Sunday: we waited for 1 hour (arrived 12:45pm, got a table after 40min, waited like 20 for our food be served). Recommend arriving around 1:30pm to avoid the long wait. Food is always amazing !

Got the seafood pancake, it was good but at $16 it is pricey considering it’s mostly batter.
Side dishes were a bit too salty and spicy.

If you’re looking for authentic and affordable Korean food. This is the place to be! We got the fried dumplings, shredded beef stew and fried chicken with hot sauce for 40 bucks (5% disc if paid by cash)

I ordered the fried chicken with hot sauce but asked them if they can put the sauce on the side just bcause im a messy eater ?

Overall experience was good! Will come back for sure.

It was really delicious and the portion was large so I was full. The owner is also really kind. I'll come again! In particular, the meat is much more delicious and fresh than the meat restaurants across the street.

Amazing small little place! Will be back for sure!

Came at 5:10pm on a Sunday. We were 2 people so we were seated fast at the small table in the back, but there was already a small line up for parties greater than 2.

They were kind enough to bring out the side dishes shortly after ordering. You have to ask. Side dishes were tasty.

We ordered the Fried Chicken Wings with special sauce, shredded beef stew, and the scorched rice with vegetables and seafood.

The chicken wings are super crispy, battered well, and sauced nice. It comes with approximately 10 pieces. Amazing value and would get it again!

The shredded beef strew was good

The seafood stew came loaded with muscles, calamari, squid, shrimp, and much more. The soup was thick, and very tasty. The scorched rice was crispy and complementary to the whole stew. Overall would recommend!
