| - What we had: Kimchi soup, dumpling soup, and vegetable soup (all soups come with a bowl of purple rice and shared side dishes)
Taste: 6/10
They give you a little raw egg to crack into your soup, which is a nice touch. If you get the regular spicy level, it is quite flavourful. Steven thought his soup was a little bland; he got the mild spicy level kimchi soup. They put a lot of tofu in the soup, and I really like that. However, they totally load their soups with MSG, we could taste it (also why the soup tastes so good).
My cousin was miserable with his vegetable soup and was wondering how we could be enjoying our soups, or at least able to bear our soups. It turned out that his soup wasn't salted at all! That bland soup was pretty bad lol.
They don't have a large variety of side dishes; there was bean sprouts, tiny little beans, and two other dishes. The side dishes were meh.
Value: 8/10
$10 after tax and tip per soup, a good price though Steven feels they could be more generous with the meat bits they put into the soups. One soup will fill most people up.
Service/Convenience: 7/10
Faces Yonge St, and there is parking at the back. Fairly easy to find.
They are polite and fairly efficient. However, it may be difficult to get the server's attention because the place gets pretty busy. The seating is very clustered so there is very little space to move through when getting to your table and leaving.
Would go back? Maybe, if I'm in the area.
Would recommend to friend? If they like soon tofu or soups, yeah.
Similar places: Most Korean places serve soup though not sure if they especially serve soon tofu soup.
