Our 1st family trip to Koreatown and picked this place randomly. Good portion of food in comparison with other Korean restaurants in the suburbs. My daughter loved her pick of kimchi pork rice and I loved bugogi beef riced. My wife liked her pork bone soup.

This small, old mom & pop restaurant in Koreatown serves good food in generous portions and very reasonably priced. We ordered bulgogi bibimpap, bulgogi with rice, tteobokki and galbi short ribs. Food was just right and not too salty. Regret that we ordered less spicy on the tteobokki or would've tasted so good. My daughter still liked it. This family of 5 couldn't finish the 4 lunch entrees, so we packed to go to eat before we went through customs at the airport. I was full during the 5+ hrs flight!

I come here every time I have the chance. I currently live in Montreal, but if I’m in Toronto I most certainly make this a stop. I’m the heart of Korea town, surrounded by amazing food and drink, this spot really stands out for its authentic flavour.
Can’t wait to come back!

Always going to be the best Korean spot I will ever go to for real good comfort food. My sister showed me this place years ago which is now a place I take my friends too. Sweet staff and yummy consistent food everytime. Always a must to get the kimchi fried rice w/ chicken. Soso good, everything really is good to be honest. I can't hype this place enough, these pictures have been from recent and past visits. Everything is always good here 🙏🏻 ❤️

It’s my first time here! I ordered two dishes, each just about $15, very reasonable, good flavors. The dishes make me miss my home, Asian cuisine always gives you sufficient food and reasonable price to let you have a home in Toronto & Canada. I did a city walk from Eaton Center to Bloor and then went west to Korean City, which took me at least 2 hours walk. Could you imagine how I feel after eating such beautiful and delicious food?

Incredibly delicious food. They can get busy but it's worth the wait. They serve drinks which is a plus too.
I came here with my boyfriend, and we were both blown away by the experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt incredibly warm and welcoming—it set the tone for a great meal.
The food was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the BBQ beef short ribs—they were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we tried was well-prepared and delicious, making it a memorable dining experience.

Sunrise House Korean Restaurant – A Hidden Gem with Room to Grow
If you’re on the hunt for a hearty Korean barbecue experience without breaking the bank, Sunrise House might just be your next go-to. Tucked into a quieter corner of the neighborhood, this small, long-standing restaurant may not have the flash of its newer, more polished competitors, but what it lacks in glitz, it makes up for in affordability and promise.
The real star of the menu is the beef ribs barbecue – tender, flavorful, and grilled to smoky perfection. It’s a dish that truly holds its own against what you’ll find in fancier spots nearby, and at a noticeably lower price. In a time when many Korean joints are leaning heavily into upscale vibes and upscale prices, Sunrise House keeps it real – and much more budget-friendly.
However, it’s not without its shortcomings. The side dishes – a staple of any Korean meal – fall a bit flat. They’re neither particularly tasty nor visually appealing, and could definitely use some love in both presentation and flavor. The overall ambience also leaves much to be desired. The space feels dated, with worn-out furniture, faded paint, and a restroom that’s long overdue for a serious upgrade.
Still, there’s a certain charm in its humble longevity. Sunrise House has been serving the community longer than many of the trendy establishments that now surround it, and it shows in its no-nonsense approach to food and service. With some renovation and culinary refinement, this place has the potential to rise and match – if not surpass – its newer rivals.
Verdict: Come for the beef ribs and the budget-friendly prices. Stay if you appreciate no-frills dining with potential. But don’t expect modern interiors or standout side dishes – at least not yet.

The pork bone soup was so bland I had to pack it up and take it home to add my own spices & perilla seeds. Even the side dishes were bad. I don't even usually leave bad reviews but I just had to bc this was so shockingly bad compared to when I last went 3 years ago

A quick disclaimer that I'm Korean and can be picky with dining out for Korean food. I bought the yuk-gye-jang (육계장) and steamed dumplings and I was disappointed for 3 reasons.
1. The soup, yuk-gye-jang, was pretty good at first sip and was pretty hearty/generous in portion. But then it began to taste like instant ramen seasoning (think, shin ramen).
2. The dumplings were tasteless, I had 1 out of 6 or 8 pieces (cannot remember the total number of pieces).
3. The side dishes weren't good. Especially the kimchi wasn't good.
I want to support local Korean businesses but I also wanted to write an honest review for other diners.
