Insadong is a brand new Korean restaurant in the Etobicoke area that I was lucky enough to try out shortly after its grand opening. I was born in Korea and formerly lived in the Yonge & Finch area (New Koreatown), so I like to think that I have relatively high standards when it comes to Korean cuisine. And even by my (self-proclaimed) high standards, Insadong does not disappoint.
I ordered the Donkatsu (deep fried pork cutlet) and tried a piece of the Jae Yuk (spicy marinated pork), and I have to say, both were phenomenal in their own right. The Donkatsu was cooked to perfection and tender like you wouldn't believe. Furthermore, I'm not the biggest fan of spicy food, but even I could appreciate the flavour and kick of the spicy pork dish.
I'm thinking of bringing my parents to this place for a family dinner next time I get the chance, and they're even more picky about authentic Korean food than I am. Next time you're in the area kraving for Korean, give this place a try!
