| - One of the best Korean restaurants anywhere!
They specialize in naengmyun, AKA chilled broth noodles. This is a dish that has boggled my mind for a long time (isn't broth supposed to be hot?!). Even after ordering it at several restaurants, I still didn't 'get it'. It just wasn't special, and I usually found myself drowning the broth in vinegar and mustard. That is until now. The broth here is perfect. Extremely flavorful, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Before, it was a novelty to me--something different to try at a restaurant. Now, Cho Sun Ok's naengmyun is a must every time I'm in the GTA.
Also have to mention the kalbi, one of the best I've had anywhere, and you can get it as a combo with your naengmyun. Oh, and try the soondae (pork blood sausage), too. It was my first time trying it, and I was pleasantly surprised. People are just put off by the idea of pig's blood, but if you shut that part of your brain off and just eat, I think you'll enjoy it.
The restaurant gets packed, so get there early or be prepared to wait. We showed up 15 minutes before opening and there was already a line. Luckily, the place had plenty of seating, but if you do end up having to wait, the turnover seems fast.
