This is something Owl of Minerva management will have to consider about their customer service. But I highly appreciate the taste of their food. I am sharing this experience I had when I went there for the second time. Date - 31st March 2024 and time was around 7pm. We were served by a nice young lady and she was very disciplined. But when I went to pay the bill, I understood that there’s a separate tip box and my bill was about $38 odd. I gave her $100 and she gave me 1x$50,2x$5 and coins. As she only gave $1 coin with 25 cent coin I firstly put $1 coin in to the tip box. I didn’t want to put any cent as I had more $1,$2 coins in my wallet so I just wanted to take my wallet out of my pocket. But before that, the old lady who was at cashier laughed and asked is it 25 cents in sarcastic way. It was not polite at all and I felt embarrassed. Then I showed her the 25cent coin in my hand to let her know that I didn’t put any cent into the tip box and then I put $3 more into the tip box asking is it enough for her. I think $4 tip is enough for a $38 bill. But her attitude towards tips was very bad and it made me embarrassed after a good meal. That lady who’s craving for tips should be definitely trained for customer service before she makes another customer unhappy. Specially when they’re from a different origin than Owl of Minarva’s as Canada is a multicultural country. We love Korean food and their culture that’s the sole reason for visiting it multiple times. But now we have to think of going there again.Parking: There’s more parking towards the east side of the restaurant(court complex)

I was not impressed with my experience in this location. The food was mediocre. The price was ok. The quality of the food can be improve. I was disappointed with service as the servers were very grumpy. I did not bother asking them for anything. The location in Northyork is way better, specially the service. Hope they learn from them.

Had to wait for LA galbi for 30mins which was supposed to be a combo with my cold noodle. Such a horrible experience to sit there with my noodle until the galbi arrived.

I’ve been to this Owl location in Richmond Hill on multiple occasions over the years. While menu prices have steadily increased, the Korean flavors here are still among the better ones nearby. After all, the Owl chain is among the original Korean food in the city.The go-to is still the Pork Bone Soup in either individual portions or the family hotpot style that feeds 2-3 people. I also enjoyed the heat of the spicy squid sizzling plate which came in a generous portion. Both of these and many other dishes come with rice. Side dishes tended to be slight let-downs, as the house kimchi didn’t taste great here. I was also surprised they ran out of bibimbap when we tried to order it initially.The service here is straight to the point without the customary friendliness at some other Owl locations. The interior is clean although on the smaller side. It has one door straight into the interior which gets chilly. Fortunately Korean food is hot comfort food.

I was in the area and this place caught my eye. I decided to stop by for a quick lunch. They had an extensive lunch menu. I ordered dakchulpan which was spicy chicken with vegetables served with rice and kimchi and a drink. The service was quick and professional. The food was really tasty and I enjoyed my lunch. Take out container was sealed and not resealable which was inconvenient. If you pay cash there is a 5% discount. Worth the visit,
