If you know me at all, you know I am usually a huge fan of Korean Grill. Yet, I don't get people who diss the Yonge-Dundas location. To me, it's far better than this location (Bloor & Yonge) and even the Queen St location. My advice to all - travel an extra mile or few to go to the Yonge-Dundas location.
Although cleaner, and the decor is possibly nicer than the other locations, here are some of my dislikes pertaining to this location below:
1. The grills are flat, unlike the upward cone grill at the Y&D location. For a shorty like myself, that cone makes a lot of sense. Plus I find a more "team aspect" to the upward cone grilling - everyone around the table is able to participate, no matter how far you're away from the grill. With the flat grill, we almost had to half-stand and look over another's shoulder.
2. The pork and beef cuts are way too thin and way too little. I am not gaga about the marinade either.
A quick rundown of all the meats tried:
- BEEF: each plate came with 3 thin slices. I am usually a fan of the beef. Wasn't so much here.
- PORK: runner up to the winner meat.
- CHICKEN: good. This is probably the most unified marinated meat across the three locations. It's never tasted different.
- BEEF RIBS: best!!!!! winner meat!!
- SAUSAGE: pass.
- OX LIVER: I was hoping to like it more than I did. I am a huge liver fan... but I ended up overcooking every time I tried. I have to go back with the KG experts.
- SALMON: okay. I am usually a salmon fan, but at KG, I'd rather indulge in meat meat.
- SQUID: okay.
- FISH FILLET: okay, cooks to a crumbly mess.
ANKIE TIP: It's been said before, but go to the Y&D location if you truly want to enjoy Korean Grilling.
