This man didn't see my 4 year old at first, and in his moment of surprise he performed some sort of magic, producing a couple of small candies for my son accompanied by the sweetest smile. At our request he suggested a dish he thought my picky eater would enjoy, which was very different from what I would have guessed! It was delicious, and he saved some to eat for his bedtime snack. The adult food was BERY delicious as well, which is what I expect of Korean food. What a pleasant experience.

Tucked away at a hard to find location (it's under Ikea, you have to take the escalator down), food is not great but good. Good portions, shareable. Sushi was fresh and the Chicken was hot and crispy.

Amazing Korean food, simple but delicious and flavorful. You may skip the Korean ramen, not worth it.

One of my go-to Korean restaurants! As a Korean native, I can say their food is truly authentic and reasonably priced. Located in a food court, it's more focused on takeout. With gimbap and kimchi fried rice to-go, you can really feel the cozy Korean picnic vibes. I've been a regular for over two years and have tried almost everything on the menu. Honestly, it's hard to pick favorites because everything is so good. But I do want to mention that their bibimbap tastes just like the authentic homemade style - simple, not overly decorated, and deeply nostalgic. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quick, tasty, and comforting Korean meal!

They really skimped on the ingredients in the bibimbap. The spinach wasnât even enough for one bite, and the rice portion was huge. It was a disappointing bibimbap.

Had an amazing experience at this Korean restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious. For sure itâs a hidden gem in the area.
What made the visit even more memorable was the chefâs hospitality. Not only was the chef incredibly friendly, but they also took the time to guide me through the best way to enjoy the meal â explaining flavors, offering pairing tips (miso soup, chilli sauce).
Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Korean cuisine or is curious to try it. Will definitely be back!

Food tasted really good, just as the reviews said. Had cheese ramyeon, and tteobokki. Portion were good and delicious. Worth the price. Will definitely be back again! Was surprised to find this place under IKEA since I've always been there but never knew this place underneath had like a small cafeteria. There's a few other restaurants, Japanese and chinese along with a dessert place with tanghulu and stuff.
As Korean, I can say this place is the best korean restaurant in downtown. Their soft tofu stew especially reminds me of my momâs 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 thatâs expected bc it was an off peak timing
the flavours tasted good nothing was overcooked but it isnât mind blowing also the beef wasnât pieces it was more like minced beef which was okay but not the best
i believe youâre better off visiting korean places at bloor instead! itâs 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 thatâs 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!
