I think I went with too high or too unrealistic expectations. I know elsewhere, ramen these days start at $15 or $18. I ordered the beef ramen ($8.99). After tax, it was $10.16.The moment I saw the noodles, my face fell. They're basically instant noodles, with slices of onion, an egg, and 3-4 slices of beef. At least it was filling. My order tasted alright. Maybe next time, I'd order the rice dishes or japchae.

Not sure why this place rating is so high. I ordered the Kimchi jjigae and it was the most bland thing I’ve had. Almost thought it was hospital food. Portion size is also tiny. Wait time was slightly long (20mins) but expected during lunch rush. Would not come here again

Well worth the stop!! Best beef Bulgogi I’ve had since I was in Korea decades ago. Peter and Angela provide it all…fantastic, friendly customer service and excellent quality. They obviously take great pride in the quality of their food and so they should. I’m definitely going back the next time we visit Toronto from Prince Edward County. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome Peter and Angela! We look forward to seeing you soon.

Great portion sizes and high-quality food.Since this spot was taken over by the current owners a few years ago, the food has been superb. Admittedly, I haven't tried a wide variety of the meal options but everything I've had so fas has been amazing. Wait times can get a bit longer during the lunch rush but it's manageable.I usually default to getting the pork cutlet. You get a good amount of meat, a big pile of rice, not much of a "salad", and some delicious glass noodles. For the $15-20 range you're getting a pretty hearty Korean meal.

Good little place.The food took a while to make and the portion is a bit small for the price but still relatively cheap, very tasty and filling.Would go again!

If you’re looking for that Korean food that tastes like it was cooked by halmoni (grandma) this place is it for me. Friendly service, reasonable prices and seating is always available in the food court area. I’d call it my best kept secret but it’s well known among Toronto locals.Kid-friendliness: Safe for kids and great seating available for families to sit and enjoy.

I was just walking around the city and stumbled on this food court I believe for OCAD. I got a bibimbap, jjajangmyeon and bulgogi poutine. Everything was delicious and extremely well priced. I will go back and try more items again soon.
