Cheap Korean food near the University area? You can do no wrong.
Considering the fact that I can NEVER seem to find good/cheap food by University of Toronto, this is a savior. Located down some steps in Baldwin Village, Hana Korean is a small mom and pop shop with a variety of Korean dishes.
I went with my friend on Thursday at lunch (around 11:30 or so) - there was nobody there yet. However, once 12 PM rolled around, a bunch of people came in.
I ordered myself the soon tofu (like always) -- however, there only seemed to be a seafood and vegetarian one. I would've liked it more if it was just vegetarian. Banchan included radishes, a heap load of kimchi, marinated cucumber, and Korean pancake.
My friend got himself the dolsot bibimbap, but the surprising thing was that the rice wasn't cooking with the food in the stone bowl (doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having crispy rice at the bottom of the rice bowl to pick at?!)
Lunch specials are ALL DAY as well - which is a win as well!
