I came here yesterday with my bf to eat samgyupsal (pork belly) for lunch after learning from a friend that their samgyupsal was the best. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, I didn't have such a great feeling about the place because it looked really old but I gave it a chance. We ordered samgyupsal bbq for two people (~$35) which came with a jjigae (stew) of our choice - we got doenjang jjigae.
Now, here is the reason as to why I am giving this restaurant a 1 out of 5 stars. The lady brought out the plate of samgyupsal which looked to be a plate full of fat. Every piece was cut up into uneven chunks and we could barely see the meat because the amount of fat on each piece was literally an inch thick. My bf and I are both Korean and we've been to many different Korean restaurants around Toronto. Never have we been served samgyupsal that was 80% fat and skin. We were both disgusted and confused but we proceeded to grill it anyway since we're not rude enough to walk out. The bits of meat we were able to eat were really tough and chewy. By the end of our meal, we had a plate full of fat that we had to cut apart from the meat.
We were extremely disappointed and felt like someone played a joke on us. For the record, my bf and I aren't picky eaters and I don't think anyone will appreciate being served chunks of fat for $35. I don't recommend this restaurant for samgyupsal because you will seriously regret it and leave smelling like pork fat.
