| - Always up for trying different restaurants along K-Town North!
This restaurant is located right beside Taftan Kebab, in between Finch and North York Centre Stations.
Restaurant size:
It can be cozy, and there are plenty of different aromas permeating throughout the place. Be prepared to smell like oil and food after your meal! There was plenty of seating available at around 5:45pm on a Tuesday night.
Portion size:
My friend and I ordered the 2 soups + 1 LA galbi rib, and it was quite sufficient.The soups are from #1-12 on the soups menu (#1 traditional fermented soy bean soup for me, #x beef tofu soup for her), and include a bowl of rice each. 1 rib provided 2 pieces of galbi to each person.
Food quality:
Good! I don't think I've had traditional fermented soy-bean soup before, and although the smell was off-putting at first, it tasted great. The LA galbi was nicely cooked and had great flavour; not too sweet or sticky!
Service:
The lady who served us happily answered any questions we had and offered some suggestions. I had the opportunity to ask Chris-the-Owner what the difference between the traditional fermented soy-bean soup and soondobu, and he enthusiastically explained -- greatly appreciated.
Final thoughts:
I'd like to come back with a few others some time to try the table-top cooking, which was seen all around us. I wonder if other places have "traditional fermented soy-bean soup", and what they taste like?
Oh, and watch your head when going downstairs to use the washroom.
Us 6 footers have to hunch a little...
