| - We came here for our first meal while waiting for our number to be called at Home of Hot Taste across the street. I'm not sure if it's because we were with our token Korean friend who ordered in Korean, but the banchan provided for us was nothing like what i've had before. We had pancakes, pork jellies, eggplants, and large light pink pickled radishes, among some of the usual ones. He insists that the banchan varies at all Korean restaurants and I'm too used to the crap from Paris, but come on, I wasn't born yesterday! I had Korean food in Toronto before, and I've never received that variety.
We all sat down and perused the menu without paying much attention as we knew that there was no point in ordering if our token was with us. However, it also meant that I had no idea what was ordered. Considering there were 8 of us but it's only going to be our first meal, he made the smart move of just ordering two types of tabletop grilling meats - plain white pork and marinated beef. Both were delicious.
There seems to be a lot of 3 stars given for this restaurant and I don't doubt that if i had come on my own this place might not have afforded me the same experience. But for now, I'm a fan. On to the second dinner.
