I've been curious about the origin of their name. Not many owls or Minervas in Korea. But the wise dinner looking for good Korean food for a great price would fly to the Owl. Nothing new or remarkable on the menu. Just solid standards done right and for a good price. It fills up quickly mid-week by the dinner hour. Despite North York being one of Toronto 2-3 K-towns, I've found the Korean food up here generally shit compared to the more establish Bloor/Christie stretch. Owl is the odd duck here.
My lovely dining companion had a hankering for pork bone soup and she seemed to get a massive and tasty bowl. I ordered off menu (I feel like John Hamm in 30 Rock) the tteokbokki (aka ddeokbokki, dukboki, etc.). It's a simple mash of tubular rice cakes, fish cakes (odeng), onions, gochujang (red pepper sauce), and sugar.
Service is typically k-style. You're ignored until you flag down a server or ring a bell. THIS SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH RUDE SERVICE. It's just the way Koreans roll in restaurant culture. Look behind your table for the bell.
