| - Hands down one of the best Korean joints in the GTA with the most authentic Korean dishes and the warmest service I've experienced in a while. Their venue is split into two sections, one side with traditional seating on floor cushions eating off low tables, and the other side with regular seated tables. Song Cook's is one of the few Korean restaurants in Toronto that provide the traditional seating, allowing customers to experience the full Korean style of dining. Aside from the superb atmosphere, the food is authentic, well-portioned, and reasonably priced (with the exception of some dishes being a little pricey, but nothing outrageous).
We had the Nuroongji tang (), a rice crisp soup, and a Ganja jang (), a noodle dish with black bean sauce, to share amongst two people. The Nuroongji tang was so delicious and unique. The waiter put the Nuroongji (rice crisps) in the soup when he came to our table to ensure the rice stays crisp. The soup was rich and savoury with a hint of sweetness; I would highly, highly recommend this dish. I haven't had a dish like this anywhere else in the GTA, so bonus points for being unique.
The Ganja jang was also good. The noodles were chewy and the sauce was very flavourful. I do think the Nuroongji tang outshone the ganja jang though; the black bean sauce of the noodles had great flavour, but it was slightly oily and contained too many onions (definitely not the dish for someone who doesn't like onions). However, it was still really enjoyable and delicious.
There are so many options to choose from on their menu, with a good handful of dishes marked with a green leaf to signify that they can be made vegan. Our waiter was so sweet, always checking to make sure we were served well. He assured us that the side dishes were all vegan friendly before he brought them to the table and was very helpful when ordering our food. He asked us a few times throughout the meal how things tasted and if everything was going alright which was so nice! The waiter also made an effort to have a genuine conversation with us when we were paying our bill! I feel as if such great service is a rarity nowadays..
It's also good to know that they have an app where you can collect points and redeem free food once you've reached 10 points with one visit being worth 1 point! The app also had coupons and updates for the restaurant.
There is so much more of the menu I want to explore and I can't wait to go back! Can't recommend this place enough! Y'all gotta go to Song Cook's.
