| - I've been here a few times for drinks with groups of 5-6 people. As a Korean, I think this place isn't really for having meals; it's more like a Korean izakaya. We (at least for me and my friends) only go here if we are planning to get pretty intoxicated that night. There are many other places like this in Toronto, too. Compared to other places, they are a bit more expensive and portions are smaller. Their drink menu is also pricey. $14 soju is considered expensive.
I've tried some dishes here including donkatsu, seafood pancake, and mussel soup. When I had the donkatsu, I was super hungry so it was pretty damn good. The size of it was really big so it was good to share, but when you are with 4 other starving men.....you only get to have one pick at it before it's gone.
Seafood pancake was okay. The taste was kind of as expected. There were only 4 pieces - too small for it's price. I think my favorite out of all was the mussel soup. It's enjoyable, spicy and goes really well with alcohol. Especially, when you're drinking just soju.
Overall, the dishes were all pretty good/enjoyable. But not to the level where I would go back with cravings. The reason I keep returning, though, is because of their vibe. I like their interior details, setting, lighting, etc, although it can get pretty packed and loud.
The tables are very cute. The seats are not that comfortable to be sat on for hours (since it doesn't have any back support). However, I really like that you can store your belongings inside the chair! Just lift the cushion up and you can put your stuff inside. It guarantees security and clean, safe passage.
So, in closing, the food is good, but not the best I've had, and a bit expensive. The atmosphere, however, complements the drinking/hanging out/dining experience, and tends to make me want to return for that.
