| - I haven't had good Korean food in a while and I'm not including the Korean fried chicken/beer kind of place. This restaurant is NOT one of those as it's a real sit down, well lit, not everything is deep fried, family style Korean place. Sure they have those common water decanters and yes they also happen to serve beer to but it's not a bar, it's not a pub it's a legitimate non fried chicken type of place.
The closest thing they have to fried chicken on the menu is probably chicken katsu which I also like but there's so much more to offer and on the menu here not to mention the place upon entering smells absolutely divine. Whatever else everybody else is already eating... take a peek. Don't gawk too long because that's rude but yes, have a look and you'll probably say to yourself, "dang I like that and wow does it ever look and smell great!". Mouth water dishes... the sound of sizzling plates brought to your table... portable burners brought to the tables and being lit! Hey we're still in Etobicoke right? I can see how this place can make you forget.
I have to admit I was hungry. I had food on my mind REALLY badly before coming here. I ended up parking in the parking lot in the back where there seems to be a BMW with a destroyed front driver side covered with a tarp. I didn't park beside that car... still I parked and I was so hungry I left my phone in the car... oh and I didn't even turn off the engine before I got out. I forgot! Yes, I shut the car off after the car was beeping as the key got too far away.
The restaurant was more than half full upon entering and yes there was that wonderful smell of great food and that sound of sizzling steaming hot plates. I love this cuisine.
I ended up ordering the Chaban bibimbap stone bowl and it was exactly what I wanted. That rice getting slightly crunchy on the hot bowl... mushrooms and beef, veggies made a really nice mix and then the egg on top is like a cherry on top of a sundae... you complete me (said the bowl of food to the egg). A side of chili paste and a bunch of other sides you know the usual pickles, sprouts, kimchi, etc. Korean always has side plates for other stuff. I like that.
I had ordered a starter of galbi which had about 5 or 6 pieces. It was served sizzling on top of onions and hey that smell of sizzling beef with onions... ya that's a winner.
Besides the meat and stone bowl we also started off with some Max Korean malt beers because we wanted the experience to be complete. I am sometimes asked in all the places I go for to have Korean fried chicken if they serve Max... well this place does serve Max so there's your answer.
My friend had the bbq pork ribs and that too came sizzling to our table. The food here is really good and I can safely say because of that I really want to return. There's so many dishes to be had here I want to try everything because there's so many things I saw others have as well where I was actually jelly of their dishes while I was eating mine. Sure I'm greedy but hey the food here looks, smells, sounds and tastes great! How can I help it?
They also happen to sell their kimchi for take home. They have two examples of the contains they have where one is a small reasonable sized container for 5 bucks and the other is almost 4 liters and is over 30 bucks! Their kimchi is so good I can see myself taking some home one day.
