This is my second visit to the Owl of Minerva. I've got to say this place is cute as a button. There are TV screens playing korean pop music which kind of adds to the experience. The service is kind and friendly. We both ordered a beer which they serve in an insulated frozen mug. It stays cold throughout your entire meal.. nice. This time I ordered the spicy cold noodle and my friend had the pork bone soup. The spicy noodle also known as bibim naeng myun which is a chewy buckwheat noodle with shredded cucumber, pear, daikon, apple, sliced beef, hard boiled egg, and miso chili paste (kochu jang). It was so delicious and quite a large portion.
My friend had the pork soup which I ordered on my first visit. We're both used to the taste of the pork bone soup at Ka Chi on Bloor , this one is just as good, in a different way. Although my friend said she missed the bean sprouts. This one has a nummy black pepper topping.
There are so many items on the menu that I want to try. I'll be returning repeatedly. Not only is the food delicious, it's healthy and reasonable.
