(Yes I'm linking another review site, Yelp really needs to implement a menu page for each restaurant...)
What we had: duk bo ki (spicy ricecakes), kam ja tang (pork bone soup), kimchi bokeumbap (kimchi fried rice)
Note: Normally we would have rated this place 3 stars, but after eating here, Steven and I both had upset stomach (the meal at Lim Ga Ne was the only thing we shared that day, so we put 1 + 1 together, got 3, and concluded that it was likely linked to something we ate there), so I'm taking off a star. The food wasn't visibly expired and didn't taste like it was expired, so we aren't sure which item disagreed with our stomachs.
Taste: 7/10
I really wanted to find a place that serves duk bo ki as spicy and delicious as Home of Hot Taste, but Lim Ga Ne is another candidate crossed off the list. Their duk bo ki was mostly sweet and barely spicy at all. Even Steven said it was barely spicy, and he has pretty low spice tolerance.
The kam ja tang was pretty good with a nice meaty flavour and they gave plenty of pork bones. Although the meat could be more tender; one should not have to wrestle the bones apart to get to the meat in between (the best part! Or maybe that's just me).
The kimchi fried rice came with a sunny side up egg, which was delicious. It was quite oily, even for fried rice. The portion was generous, we could barely finish it.
They gave plenty of side dishes, most of them were on the salty side so we could not eat them on their own. The potatoes were pretty good, its too bad they didn't give any vermicelli .
Value: 8/10
$8 for pork bone soup, $10 for fried rice, 9$ for the rice cakes. Similar to most other korean restaurants. We could have been full without the rice cakes.
**Average cost per diner: $13-18 after tax+tip (depending on if you share appetizers)
Service/Convenience: 7/10
This place was easy to find with its front door facing Yonge St. The place has regular tables and traditional looking tables where you have to sit on the floor. There were plenty of tables available when we entered and we were seated quickly. The food is delivered fairly quickly, however when we needed more napkins we found it easier to just grab it ourselves at the counter. I would say the service is efficient, but don't expect to get fawned over by any of the ajummas there.
Would go back? Probably not.
Would recommend to friend? Nope, not going to risk giving my friends upset stomach too.
Similar places: Nak Won, most of the Korean restaurants around the Yonge & Finch area
**Disclaimer: Average cost per diner constitutes the amount (per person) we eat to get full without drinks. Total cost is usually divided between 2 diners, one of whom can regularly eat 7 slices of XL pizza
