This review may seem harsh but I recently came back from Korea. Last week I ate the James Cheese Back Ribs location in Seoul and it was great. So I was very eager to compare it with the one in Toronto but was greatly disappointed. I went with a group of four and we ordered kimchi fried rice, cheese & ribs, and the Korean McRib, plus the complimentary free fries on fridays with the cheese rib order. Everything we had was mediocre at best. The cheese was plain mozzarella (I think) and didn't add much flavour or wow factor when wrapping it around the rib. The sides that came with this dish were eggs, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, corn, and hotdogs. The kimchi fried rice was bland with what looked like pieces of spam? Couldn't taste the kimchi to be honest. The Korean McRib is basically a bao but we found it soggy and bland as well. The fries was our favourite dish which doesn't say much.
The good? The staff are very friendly and helpful. They mixed the cheese and wrapped it around the rib for us. The atmosphere is nice.
Overall, there's a lot of improvements that can be done with the quality of the food. It's nice to experience the cheese being wrapped around food but it wouldn't hurt to go to other restaurants for it.
