Overall experience: 5.5/10
When I see a 1-star review, I always assume that person was treated poorly, or something really negative happened on their visit to the restaurant. This is not the case - I just have much higher expectations for Korean food in Markham!
To be fair, I did not order the pork bone soup AKA what they are known for, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
One of the best parts of eating Korean, is all the appetizers at the beginning of the meal. Owl only brought 3 dishes - Nak Won down the street brings 3 or 4 times that, so that was disappointment number 1.
My soontofu was hot, but lacked flavour. There was barely any seafood in it - I may as well have ordered spicy tofu and rice!
And while I don't expect much from Asian restaurants in terms of decor, and even cleanliness, Owl seemed old, unkept, and a little dirty. That "hole in the wall" atmosphere, but without the great food that makes those types of interiors tolerable.
THE BOTTOM LINE: disappointing Korean food in a dirtier than average spot.
