| - This is the best Korean BBQ restaurant in the GTA. The meat quality is top notch and the ambiance is identical to a Korean BBQ joint in Seoul. The mini cylinder seats have space to store your clothes, bags, purse etc underneath incase you dont want certain items smelling like smoke and meat when you leave. In Korea, they offer plastic body bags for diners to wear, which I think would be neat if Kookminhakyo offered.
Ive dined here twice. Once in July and October. Food quality is same but service improved! They only had 2 waitresses for dinner service in July which was not enough. Korean BBQ consists of many side dishes that need constant re-filling therefore, management hiring a third waitress for this small place was smart. Get here early as there was a line out the door and waiting list for eager diners after 6:30 pm.
I always order the 59.99 combo for 4 which includes 3 types of meat (2 pork, 1 beef) I believe. The kimchi, radish, green onion salad, soups, and stews are all delicious and as authentic as you can get. Soju is reasonably priced here as well.
Ordered a last minute extra kalbi-sal (beef) and it was worth it. Make sure to cook it medium rare!
This place can be easily missed. Its beside the Fry in a tiny strip plaza, across the street from LCBO/Tim Hortons on Yonge St.
