This is one of the older Korean restaurant in the Bloor and Christie area AKA as Koreatown. You could tell right away as soon as you walk into the place with pictures of the celebrities with the restaurant owner and the dated decor how long this place has been in business. The restaurant layout is big and they are able to accommodate large parties. Also, the washrooms seems to have been recently renovated and are a huge improvement over other restaurants in the area.
We came here for a Thursday lunch and they were able to accommodate our group of 8 without any issues. The place was not full but it wasn't empty either. The place only had two servers: one male and one female. I can understand the critique about the slow service as even though we didn't encounter any issues, the servers especially the male one, were extremely busy. They were not very attentive even though the place wasn't busy.
We ordered the Donkatsu lunch combo, Jjampong, Jajangmyeon and Salmon Teriyaki lunch combo. The food was very good and our party had no complaints about the food. I ordered the Jjampong and the broth was very spicy and flavorful however, the squid was overcooked. The noodles were cooked right. The Jajangmyeon was also very good.
The clientele is not mainly Korean and one of the reason why it has been around for so long. This place is recommended.
