| - Everyone has the right to their opinion, just like I have my own - but, when it comes to Korean food, I can say that it's rare that I find anyone who has frequented more Korean restaurants than I have. I have lived in the North York area for the last 15 years and have hung out in the old Korea town more times than I can count. Lim Ga Ne, is one of the very few Korean restaurants that started the recent trend of 24/7, I believe "Owl" started initially.
Lim Ga Ne, started off as being a place where mainly drunk Koreans (usually young international students) would come to fill their bellies after a long night of drinking soju. Eventually, the word spread of this place because the price was excellent, service was fast, food was amazing, and of course the ability to go there at any time. I've been going there for about 2 years now and I've gotten to know the owner. She used to be a waitress and then saved all her money and invested all of it into this restaurant. She's usually there 14 hours/day. I dare anyone to say they work as hard as this woman. This is the reason why I feel strongly that there are very few Korean restaurants that can challenge this one in all aspects: pricing, quality of food, service, delivery of service, food quantity, atmosphere, environment, convenience, etc.
Usually, hot tea is automatically provided (summer or winter) at no charge. You usually have to ask for cold water. It is family friendly but, spacing is limited and so booster chairs are limited. They have traditional Korean style seating where you have to take your shoes off and sit on a raised floor (about 1 foot off the ground) but, it is pretty cramped because the table is pretty low. The restaurant itself probably seats about 50 people. Appetizers are also served free of charge - usually 5 to 6 dishes. The main menu is full of many types of Korean dishes. I believe the only popular Korean dish that they don't serve is "ja jang myun". Other popular dishes are served: galbi tang, soon tubu chigae, gam ja tang, gan pong gi, just to name a few. As I've stated before, service is fast. The waitresses are very limited in their English skills, so be patient and understanding. I've been there both in the day and night time and I've yet to see any situation where the waitresses are rude. If they are, it is likely because you were drunk or again - the language barrier. That doesn't imply that service is bad though - I read one review from someone who stated service was good but, when asking for a water refill they got the cold ice dagger stare. Kind of hypocritical to state that if you received good service and then got upset about someone giving you the cut eye for refilling your water. Anyways, the last piece of info is that the place is usually busy after 6pm until 1am on Thursdays - Fridays, so be wary of that.
