Had the worst experience. I haven’t been here since first year because the food was always mid and none of my friends go here, but I decided to order something quick for dinner since the price looked cheap. I called to order a seafood soontofu, but they handed me beef. When I told the owner I ordered seafood, she confidently said, “No, you said beef.” Honestly, I wouldn’t even be pissed if she had at least said sorry or shown any effort to fix it. But instead, she told me, “Next time say SEAFOOD,” like it was clearly my fault. I get that phone orders can have miscommunication, but blaming the customer with zero apology is wild. I’ve never had this kind of issue with any other restaurant. And in the end, I was basically forced to pay for a dish I didn’t order. Should’ve just walked out lol.

In my opinion, this resto is underrated here in Google compared to other nearby restos. This is one of the best Korean resto we’ve been to, in terms of taste and value for money. Their free kimchi is homemade and taste really good compared to store-bought ones. We ordered jjajangmyeon, beef bulgogi, pork cutlet and seafood tofu stew and they all taste really great! The umami flavour we were looking for. The service is fast and the guy was very courteous. He even offered us if we wanted more side dishes. We asked for kimchi refill and he gave us a really good serving. Unfortunately, we missed to take pictures of the food.
The owner I think is Korean, so you’ll get a real taste of Korean cuisine. The atmosphere is not fancy nor cozy, but gives you a homey ambience.

Dinning at this place gave me a feeling of dinning outside of Canada, and instantly made me feel like I was dinning inside a family restaurant in Korea! The menu offered lots of items and the prices were very reasonable! The staff were very friendly and served the food in no time! The food was freshly prepared and was very delicious! Nothing is better than enjoying authentic Korean food prepared by Korean!

Absolutely delicious! I've had Jjajangmen (ramen) that I loved and finally got to try the real thing, it was amazing, very hearty and filling. We also had honey-garlic fried chicken and it was so good! It is a whole/half chicken, bones included, which we didn't mind at all. And, it stayed crispy in the fridge for later too. The portions were huge and they came with an assortment of side dishes, just like a traditional Korean meal. Loved the food and the experience!

Sad to see this place go downhill; ordered a pork bone soup and on more than one occasion it was not fresh. It tasted like when something you left in the fridge uncovered.

Awful service, Poor quality food, overly expensive. I purchased food ahead of time and they said it would take 20 to 25 minutes. After 25 minutes I went to the store for pick up, paid first and tipped. They then asked me to wait 10 more minutes. After waiting for 10 minutes, the food never arrived. I waited for another 10 minutes before receiving it. Upon eating the kanpoongki, I was extremely upset to see that this $21 item was mainly filled with batter and very little chicken. The side dishes weren't tasty, and the jajangmyun was mediocre. I wouldn't recommend coming and purchasing these dishes or recommend this place at all.

Cozy Korean Gem: A Heartwarming Culinary Experience
Nestled in the heart of the city, this small Korean restaurant is a hidden treasure that I simply can't get enough of. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a warm, intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff, especially our server, always greets us with a genuine smile and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor add an extra layer of comfort to the already cozy ambiance.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the pork bone soup. It's nothing short of amazing! Rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, this hearty dish is a must-try for anyone visiting. The tender meat falls off the bone, and the broth is so comforting it feels like a warm hug for your taste buds.
While the pork bone soup is my personal favorite, the chicken dishes are equally impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something spicy or mild, their chicken offerings are consistently delicious and well-prepared.
This charming little restaurant has become my go-to place whenever I'm craving some good, hot pork bone soup or simply want to enjoy a satisfying Korean meal. The combination of delectable food, warm atmosphere, and friendly service makes every visit a delightful experience.
If you're looking for authentic Korean cuisine in a cozy setting, look no further. This gem of a restaurant is sure to become one of your favorites too!
