| - Came here for dinner with friends and was really craving some pork bone soup. First thing I noticed is that this place charges much more for comparable food than other restaurants. While pork bone soup / gamjatang typically costs roughly $8-9 in the GTA, it's $11 here. All the other menu items are even more expensive and all start at $13. I figured that the price difference would be acceptable provided that the pork bone soup but alas...
My pork bone soup arrived in a piping hot bowl, but the bubbling didn't last long. There were four massive bones piled up high, but unfortunately, there wasn't much meat on these bones. It was all tendon and cartilage, making it very difficult to eat. I had to use my hands and go all in, but still couldn't get the good stuff. The bones were underseasoned compared to other places. Moreover, it was a disappointment to find that all the bones were cold even before digging in - they had piled the bones so high that none of the hot broth could touch the bones.
The broth itself wasn't very flavourful and lacked certain depth. There was one chunk of potato, and a few leaves of napa cabbage, but for the most part, the dish was composed of bones. There are definitely better places to get pork bone soup and for a better bang for your buck.
My friends ordered bibimbap and spicy squid. The bibimbap seemed to have a generous portion of toppings, and was piping hot. The spicy squid came on a sizzling plate and was quite spicy indeed! There was also a nice assortment of banchan to eat, and the waitresses were very generous with refilling the side dishes. That said, I am unlikely to return as I honestly think there are better places to eat Korean in Mississauga.
