I live in North Korea town in North York, and have sampled all the bbq joints here.
Miga is by far, superior to all the places around my area, and this review is based on taste alone (my relatives paid for the meal and I didn't even see the menu hah).
Tasted:
Saeng Galbi - if its frozen you wouldn't be able to tell. Marbling was impeccable (and that's not even a word i use! I just have to here!). Melts and pairs extremely well with the dwaenjang Chigae!
Seafood Pancake - not heavy at all, crisp and perfect blend of squid, green onion, etc. No overpowering tastes. perfection.
Dwaenjang Chigae - so rich and flavorful. i love dwaenjang Chigae and its one of my go-to dishes so I was impressed. Not too salty or lacking in dwaenjang.
Bonus points for:
- Incredibly fresh kimchi that is seasoned with raw oyster (my kind of kimchi). Not overly fermented. addicting.
- Huge parking space and clean interior
- Attentive wait staff, fresh lettuce, ingredients
- classic traditional korean side dishes that are seasoned extremely well. Summer kimchi game on point!
Of note: The dwaenjang isn't as rich as I'd hoped for when using with the meat/lettuce, but it was perfect in the Chigae (soup)!
I am sad this isn't closer to me, but I'd travel 45-1hr for this place because it's THAT GOOD!
