Love this place, but not when they're sold out of certain dishes.
One problem that this restaurant usually encounters is that they run out of stock throughout the day which can be an annoyance to customers. I remember so many times when we visited this restaurant and they either ran out of galbi tang or naengmyeon. Other than that major flaw, Cho Sun Ok is probably my favourite Korean restaurant in Toronto and I believe they serve the best tasting mul naengmyeon in this city!
Their mul naengmyeon is served in a large stainless steel bowl with the noodles in the centre and all the ingredients stacked on top. Surrounding the noodles is a cold slushy beef broth that has tangy and sweet flavours. Since the noodles can be very chewy and sometimes difficult to cut with your teeth, they offer to cut the noodles to make it easier to eat. This is the best dish to cool off in this summer heat!
The perfect accompaniment to mul naengmyeon is their Kimchi Jjim. Since the kimchi is fermented for a long time, it is full of intense flavours with a delicious sourness, making it perfect to be cooked with pork. The pork loin is braised with the aged kimchi, resulting in extremely tender and juicy meat. You will not be disappointed with this dish!
If you have yet to try Cho Sun Ok's mul naengmyeon or kimchi jjim, I highly recommend you visit soon, preferably early in the afternoon, so that you can experience these mouth-watering dishes they have to offer.
