Glad that I tried this place after a Korean friend of mine recommended it to me. As other reviewers have noted - it's not the BEST Korean food you will ever have nor is it the best in the GTA. However, I would gladly choose this as my go-to from now on in downtown Toronto for a quick, tasty meal at a reasonable price and convenient location. The last part is key as I find that there are very few restaurants in the Bloor Koreatown that are truly noteworthy so I'm happy to have found another spot in downtown (vs. trekking up to North York) to satisfy a craving.
We tried the kimchi jigae and the kimchi gamjatang; both were tasty! The kimchi jigae could use a bit more pieces of pork but I think this also helped to keep the flavour of the broth lighter/ cleaner. The banchan were good and I appreciated that the servers were all very polite and quick to refill banchan when we asked.
There was a short line-up during dinner when we went on the holiday Monday but it seemed to be moving fairly quickly.
