“I visit here regularly and always enjoy their affordable, authentic Korean Chinese food. Recently, I tried the No. 5 Veggie and Seafood Black Bean Sauce Noodles, and I was thoroughly impressed. The flavors were fantastic.
The cashier is always friendly and adds to the pleasant experience. Highly recommend!“

“Located at the food court of Galleria Supermarket, this place makes a good gamjatang or pork bone soup. The pork is very tender, and the spices give the soup a little kick. The portion size is also good, It can be shared by two people. Prices here are also affordable. The food court is busy during lunch time, so if you come during lunch, expect to wait for vacant seats.“

“Loved it! Huge portions, fast and friendly service. 100% would recommend!“

“We had a lovely weekend meal at Hong Kong Banjeom with our kids. The jjajangmyeon and jjampong were delicious, and the tangsuyuk was a big hit with the kids! A great place to enjoy authentic Korean-Chinese food as a family. 짬뽕은 완뽕까지 했어요♡“

“Best Korean restaurant I have ever had. The only place I know that has beef rib stew. Friendly service and even better food. Will be coming here very often.“

“Restaurant Review: A Must-Try for Korean Fried Chicken Lovers

I recently visited this Korean restaurant in Toronto, and it was fantastic! Their fried chicken is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The variety of sauces, especially the soy garlic is incredible.

What truly stood out was the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with big smiles and were super attentive, making me feel right at home. If you’re craving delicious Korean fried chicken and great service, this is the spot to visit!“

“Great Korean food at a convenient location right off Yonge Street. Plenty of parking as well!
We got the rabokki and it was delicious! When ordering, we can choose the spiciness level: no spicy, less spicy, or more spicy. I was confused about how spicy is more spicy so went with the less spicy choice, but if you want the standard spiciness of rabokki in Korea, then go for the more spicy. Absolutely love the side dishes they give too! The kimchi is amazing!!
The restaurant is spacious and clean and the service was great as well!“

“I always come here for their deep fried chicken 🍗 So delicious in original and crazy good in their red sweet and spicy sauce (yangnyeom chicken). I love it!!!! It's so addictive and it's even better when there is a daily special or a deal happening (which is quite often) 😍😍😍 I like to get half and half and boneless.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Highly recommended Korean restaurant👍
Comfortable tables and chair, spacious patio area.
Great dining experience overlooking Yonge street, busy but lovely street.
Good food
Good price
Friendly and supportive servers
Should make a Google review with a photo, show the server to get free dumplings/French fries/a pop 👍“

“Meats sliced cleanly off the bone and sliced to perfect bite size! Got our jokbal cravings down with just right size. Highly recommend the combo menu for 2.

Parking: Parking right beside a court or free if you buy something from whole food.“

“Wanted to try something different from the usual so we tried Mom’s Bite. And we were glad we did. The service was friendly and the food fresh and tasty. We had the beef and falafel sandwiches and plan to visit again to try other menu options.“

“Great good with great value“

“I will recommend this restaurant to my friends, first it’s actually ran by Korean people ❤️, second they are truly attentive (the girl notice we were putting the empty side dishes away and she came right up to check if we wanted more. We felt very comfortable eating there), third their food is good, and serving time is also very good . We waited for about 5 minutes after our order, our food was brought to us one after one.

The only thing I noticed is it’s a bit dark in it. And it could be my aged eyes 👀 as well.

In short, a very nice place for Korean food. Recommend!“

“I’ve been to Mapo Gamjatang many times, and it continues to be one of my top spots for gamjatang. They offer several variations of the dish, and no matter which one I order, the broth is always rich and flavorful, and the meat is so tender it practically falls off the bone. They are also generous with the portions, the staff are friendly, and the service is quick. I highly recommend coming here!“

“TLDR: Looked for a semi-healthy yet affordable food option for takeout so we could pair it with somaek 🤣

-[KIMCHI TUNA GIMBAP] $12.99
🐟 has kimchi, tuna, perilla leaf, mayo, burdock, carrot, egg, and pickled radish
🌶 truthfully, I really like kimchi so I would have wanted more kimchi to give this gimbap more of a spicy flavor but look at that filling to rice ratio ✨️

-[JALAPENO CRAB MEAT TUNA GIMBAP] $13.99
🦀 has crab meat, tuna, jalapeno, rice, carrot, cucumber, and egg
🌶 not really spicy but you can taste the jalapeno flavor regardless so it was enjoyable

-[CHICKEN TANGSUYUK] $18.99
🍗 sweet and sour Korean fried chicken
🍗 I personally liked that the sauce was separated from the fried chicken because it helped to keep the chicken crispier for longer
🍗 also idk how they fried this but it didn't cause me to have a sore throat afterwards 🤯 aka wow

-[MINI CHEESE KIMCHI JEON] $5.99
🌶 not that much kimchi flavor again 🥲 but still good to snack on
🌶 would have wanted more cheese flavor too but the mild cheese likely paired better with the subtle kimchi flavor of this one

📝 They have party trays that would be great to bring to gatherings/parties“

“First time here and found a right place for authentic Korean bbq with my favourite kimchi stew so yummy ! Will surely come back again even needed to queue... 😋😋😋“

“It’s yummy, good service, clean and place is better than old place“

“This hotel food quality is very good“

“I heard about this new place from a friend and had to give it a try. When I parked where Google Maps directed me, I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot ---- it's at the back of an industrial building, near some truck unloading docks.
But then I saw a sign saying "Please come in" and decided to take a leap of faith. I wasn't disappointed!
* Fried Chicken Sandwich - $7.77: I chose the honeyed soy garlic flavour. The egg brioche bun was perfectly soft and flavourful, and I appreciated how the pressed crust held everything together. The toppings were generous, and the chicken was juicy.
* Fried Chicken Poutine - $8.88 (250g, snack size): I went with the "cheezy cheese" option, and it was indeed very cheesy! They didn't skimp on the seasoning, and the poutine cheese curds had a great pull. Loved it!
* Boneless Fried Chicken - $9.99 (250g, snack size): I chose the spicy yangnyeom sauce, which had a nice kick.
Just a small note -- I'd prefer if the boneless chicken pieces were about half the size, especially as a poutine topping.
The prices are fair, and the flavours are absolutely delicious. Piping hot fried chicken takes time, so there is a slight wait, which I did not mind at all.
I'll definitely be coming back here!“

“Friendly traditional Korean restaurant. Long queue during dinner time but worth the wait.“

“I cant peak enough about the food at this place. it's by far the best value for your money. Not only is the food delicious but the portions are very reasonable for the $ they ask. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.. you'll never go anywhere else for chicken again. Their Kim Bap is really good option. Very fresh and very healthy, my wife lives off them!!“

“Food was so delicious, large portions, and affordable price! Fav was the chicken and rose tteokbokki. A small but cozy spot. Service was really good, they were so nice. You also get a discount if you pay cash. Now one of my fav places, will def go back! Perfect for your cravings.“

“Jjampong is the best in Toronto.“

“Casual Korean restaurant with traditional dishes.

It was pretty quiet on Christmas evening, but service was lacking and slow.

We got the hot pot gamjatang (pork bone and potato soup) and kampungki (fried boneless chicken with sweet and sour sauce). This was a good portion for 4 people, both were so delicious. The gamjatang came with two bowls of purple rice. My only complaint was the side dishes were very mediocre/small and it took a long time to refill them.

Overall it's a solid, affordable choice.“

“Great good with great value“

“Thank you to our server for the night, Hailey! So kind and very accommodating just like her fellow co-workers. You are greatly appreciated and have made our dinner very easy going and comfortable.

Food was just right and experience was bang on. 100% recommended to my friends and family and definitely coming back!“

“I have been coming here for 5 years throughout my time at York and they are constantly one of my favorite place to eat on campus, they are actually rather affordable, the food is delicious and the staff always so pleasant! I’m really going to miss coming here ❤️“

“Famous charcoal outdoor Korean bbq. Best Korean frozen Soju place in the city.“

“Lovely restaurant that we stumbled upon a few weeks ago. We've been here twice so far and each time had a great experience. Special shoutout to the pork bone soup which my husband could not stop raving about. The waitress was so kind to our family, going above and beyond the definition of great customer service. Will definitely become a regular going forward.“

“Authentic & Flavorful – Best Beef Bibimbap in Toronto!

I’ve been to this Korean restaurant a few times, and it never disappoints. Their raw beef bibimbap (Yukhoe Bibimbap) is hands down one of the best in the city. The fresh, high-quality beef, perfectly seasoned and served over warm rice in a sizzling stone bowl, creates an incredible contrast of textures and flavors. Every bite delivers a perfect balance of umami, heat, and richness.

What really makes this place stand out, beyond the delicious food, is the warm and welcoming service. On my latest visit, they even made a special congee just for my toddler, such a thoughtful and kind gesture that truly shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!“

“Friendly service and good food! We often go with their Combo A which comes with Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle), Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and Tangsuyuk (deep fried pork with sweet and sour sauce) which is perfect for 2-3 people.“

“We were there on a Saturday night. The plaza had plenty of parking available. We ordered raw crabs, a seafood pancake, pork belly and 2 other soups. I didn't try the raw crabs but my family said they were yummy but just a bit too much soy sauce in them. They were better to eat with white rice. The seafood pancake was excellent. The pork belly was dry and hard and they didn't bring us dipping sauce. The soups were normal. Side dishes were pretty good. Service was okay.“

“Good taste with good service.“

“love this place. it is authentic Korean food. it is my 4th time in two months 🥰“

“I received stone rice cake (3 types) from a friend today. I found out why I asked what time the pickup would be when I placed my order. The rice cake was warm and delicious, as if it had been made and delivered on time. They beautifully engraved the words 'First Birthday' on the rice cake cake for free, and there were plenty of songpyeon and sorghum red bean rice cakes. I was moved. thank you The price was also better than other places. I highly recommend it?“

“A must try for any fried chicken lover!! ????????Korean fried chicken we can’t stop eating. About 30$ for two people to stuff themselves with perfectly crisp chicken, smothered in an amazing sauce if you choose and several flavors. Friendly caring service. Don’t miss it in the food court just down a corridor a few feet off main food court. Hidden gem we always return to.“

“It was my first visit at Daldongnae Richmond Hill location. The staff was friendly and checked in with us every so often. There were so many different cuts of meat, we tried the Beef Hanging Tender, Beef Chuck Steak, and Pork Belly. So I would need to come back again in the future to try the rest of the menu. This is different from the other AYCE Korean BBQ, their food quality is higher and tastes better.“

“What an amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and the service was great! I recommend it! Gotta try it 👍🏽😋😛🤪“

“the food was amazing! i got the special seol long tang and it tasted amazing. you can even season the food to your preference so that it will be to your liking. the side dishes that were served along the food were also fresh and delicious. will come back with friends and family“

“Servers seem a bit understaffed but the food is good. Portions are larger than expected (e.g. ordered a set meal for 2 to feed 4 adults with leftovers), which is good value. Bring a bag or something for your coats to avoid having them smelling like KBBQ smoke after. I would skip on the fried chicken or pork because they have better alternatives.“

“I really don't regret it. Of all the Korean restaurants I've been to, the food service and visuals were all the best!! I was impressed after taking a bite. I think I will have a fun trip thanks to Deokman :) May you prosper~!!

I especially recommend squid fried rice to those who like spicy food.!!“

“Kimchi here is delicious, tastes so fresh and doesn't have that fermented/poppy feeling; also unlimited refills! The king-sized dumplings are also very tasty but our kiddos are not fans of them (more for us 💁🏻‍♀️). The kalguksu noodles are what our kids love.“

“Ate here on a Saturday evening around 7:40. Almost no customers and we got seated basically right away. Ordered a combo that came with marinated beef, beef intestines, onions, and some side dishes. Came with soup, onion salad, and complementary lettuce too. We also refilled our side dishes for free. Combo cost around $60. Would highly recommend if you have 2 people with a big appetite or 3 people with small appetites.“

“My friend is a big fan of Apkujung Restaurant and I finally had the chance to stop by on his recommendation! If you're looking for an authentic Korean meal that feels home-cooked, this is a great spot to check out.

Located on Yonge Street just south of Steeles, there is plenty of parking available at Centerpoint Mall and then you just have to cross the street.

What we got:
- Ginseng Chicken Soup with Noodles and Congee
- Galbi Jjim (Korean Braised Short Ribs)
- Grilled Mackerel

Final Thoughts:
The Ginseng Chicken was nothing mind-blowing in terms of flavour, but it was incredibly comforting and hearty. The pot is served tableside and the staff help you cook each course starting with the poached chicken, noodle soup, and finally turning leftover soup into congee.

The Galbi Jjim is my must-order dish! The short ribs are super tender, and the sauce is delicious. It may be a tad sweet, depending on your taste, but this was great with rice.

Overall, I find the prices a bit on the pricey side but they come with a larger portion and I always leave full. I'd want to bring my parents here or return with a large group to try more dishes.“
