| - Pretty legit Korean restaurant. Beware that it gets busy during the prime dinner hours (on weekends mainly), and the line will sometimes be out the door.
Dropped by on a Wednesday night and we were seated immediately. Menu covers the standard Korean fare, but yes, the cold noodles are a specialty and somewhat of a novelty here. I didn't spring for this as the weather wasn't quite hot enough yet to justify it.
Instead I opted for something more boring and conventional, the dolsot bibimbap. Some other companions ordered bulgogi and soup dishes. Overall we all agreed that the dishes were excellent and very well made. The ingredients were noticeably fresher than many other Korean restaurants and the flavours were also better. One of the best bibimbaps I've had in Toronto. Even the banchan (side dishes) were of higher quality, though I was somewhat disappointed by what they had (my fault for getting used to the non-authentic stuff). I will say that their kimchi is excellent however.
Service, as with most Korean restaurants, is quite pleasant. Take note that it does seem a fair number of their servers don't actually speak English, or at least, not very well. Although the server who greeted us was fluent, it was a little bit more challenging when dealing with the one who took our order. If you are Asian and look even remotely Korean, they seem to default to speaking Korean with you first.
