As Korean, I can say this place is the best korean restaurant in downtown. Their soft tofu stew especially reminds me of my mom’s cooking! Honestly, it is pretty damn hard to pick my favourite one here so just try everything and decide on your own :) Take escalator down to the underground floor of aura building and follow the food court sign!
got the beef bibimbap it came out in a takeout container place was dark when i visited but that’s expected bc it was an off peak timing
the flavours tasted good nothing was overcooked but it isn’t mind blowing also the beef wasn’t pieces it was more like minced beef which was okay but not the best
i believe you’re better off visiting korean places at bloor instead! it’s more flavourful and value for money over there but if convenience and downtown area is your only place then this would be okay

This spot deserves more attention! My favourite lunch break. High quality food that’s very cheap. Highly recommend! They are a bit hidden in a dead food court at the Aura basement level. Just enter on a street level as if to go to Marshals and just take the escalator down. Enjoy!

Got a take out order of the Tteokbokki. Taste good. However, it's a bit too watery (It's just like soup). I would prob go back again. But I will definitely ask for a spoon.

I coincidentally discovered this place, it was hard to find but I did eventually. Food is so nice, delicious. after eating all, it felt so good. The person who took the order was so nice and he helped me to choose the right combination of the dishes. I will definitely will come in the future again.

Let me just say, if you’re craving authentic Korean food, maybe this isn’t the place to go. The kimchi stew I ordered turned out to be more like watery tomato soup with the faintest hint of kimchi. It was also lacking in substance—barely any vegetables or meat to be found. I’m not sure what happened in the kitchen, but it felt like an entirely different dish.
As for the glass noodles, The portion was a greasy mess of limp vegetables, with mushroom fragments, carrot shreds, and some stray leaves. No flavor, no seasoning—just a lot of oil and disappointment. The best part of the meal was when it was over.

Like everyone is saying, a hidden gem under downtown Ikea - inside an underground market under Aura. If you want to enjoy authentic Korean street food quietly, check them out. Super friendly service with great food.
Fairly price for a downtown location, hidden gem with made to order meal. Miso soup and Korean meal was a little weird, I thought I’ll get like kimchi soup but it’s a good combination.

Great tasting food, especially for the price, and excellent service. The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired though - underground in a food court - but I love the place.

It’s located food court at Aura. It’s like a family running korean restaurant. I tried bulgogi kimbab. It was filled with fresh vegetable and bulgogi. It was affordable price and taste was better than good. Staffs were very kindly. Next time I wanna try another food here!
The food is so tasty, and the service is kind all the time, my favorite place in College Park.
