| - after eating caribbean food for a week, i was craving some asian food, specifically korean. we were in toronto for a few hours, and found jang su chon on yelp. when we walked in, the place was occupied with people having late lunch, but none were koreans which made me cringe a little. this was my coworker's first time trying korean food, so i suggested a few well known items to him, and he chose dolsot bibimbap. quickly, some banchan were delivered to our table followed by our main orders of bibimbap and spicy pork bbq.
the spicy pork bbq was mildly spicy and the meat was tender, but there just was too much oil in the plate. my coworker liked banchan more than the bibimbap. he claimed that his main dish was too bland, even after putting some red chili paste and soy sauce. surprisingly, he loved napa cabbage and cucumber kimchi.
if the restaurant was located in southern california, i'd have given a 2 star rating, but since i had no other standard to measure in toronto, and it did satisfy my korean food craving somewhat, 3 star rating is fair.
service was friendly and prompt, and price of the food was around $8-$15 range. a parking structure is conveniently located right next to the restaurant.
p.s. - jang su means long life and chon means a village, so the literal translation is a village with old people.
