Behind the black letters of "Joons" a neon orange background captures your attention to the Korean restaurant partially hidden beneath a flight of stairs. Joons exemplifies good street advertising.
However, that's the extent of what their role modeling represents. My afternoon lunch of Spicy Seafood Ramen ($6-7) and the house special Pork Short-Ribs (Galbi) on Rice ($12) totaled $20 including tip. Side dishes barely achieved plurality consisting of a scoop of potato salad, some slices of precooked grounded fish, and kimchi. The main courses were similarly below average; a big shrimp, a small shrimp, and a quarter of an octopus leg swam in my bowl unhindered by the listless noodles; over on the other side, there was galbi and there was rice.
Cheapest not necessarily the bestest. However, Joons qualifies neither. An average walk away in between both Bathurst and Christie station, the English menu and name of the restaurant somewhat helps the ostracized anglophones looking for quality Korean food. It helps as much as the remedy the cash-only restaurant gives its customers, "Help yourself... to our ATM."
