| - Really delicious home-cooking Korean food right near McGill that is super affordable. I arrived at about 5:30 and waited maybe 5 minutes for a table at this tiny spot. The whole time I was there I watched the line fill and empty quickly and repeatedly, they are great at turnover here.
The room is bright and adorable, the menu is full of delicious meals, all kinds of options, more than you see in most of the other Korean restaurants around town. The food comes out quickly and is clearly freshly made and super tasty - the fried dumplings and dolsot bibimbap were both excellent. Maybe not quite as excellent as Chingu, but cheaper and easier to access if you're downtown and definitely full of fresh ingredients cooked up with love.
My one suggestion: get rid of the plastic plants that line the half wall between dining room and kitchen, they are just gathering dust and starting to look bad. Also maybe give the bathroom a scrub and a fresh coat of paint before it gets really scary in there.
The staff here are awesome, fast, friendly, multi-lingual, working hard but never making you feel particularly rushed, smiles for days, just a general good vibe that, as much as the delicious food, has me looking forward to coming back.
