| - I've been here a couple of times now. My family and I love the atmosphere and we enjoy the fact that there's an option to sit on heated floors and mats to eat. The first time we went, about 4 years ago, we were blown away by the quality of the food and service. Last time we were here, I noticed that the quality of the service hadn't changed but the quality of the food has. (I'm hoping it's just a one-day thing and that the quality isn't like this in the future.)
DdukBokki (spicy stir-fried rice cakes, with oden, vegs, egg = $7.99 + chewy noodles for an extra $3.00). They were harder than they should have been but the flavour was really good. The extra $3.00 for the chewy noodles wasn't really worth it - especially because we ordered a lot anyway.
Beef teriyaki with vegs,rice, and miso ($15.99) was a good choice - you can't really do teriyaki wrong.
Bokeumbap ($9.99) - stir-fried rice with vegs, eggs, surimi, & jajang sauce (black bean base) was super filling but salty. Same goes with their JangBan JaJang: stir-fried eggs, seafood, ground beef, black bean sauce on noodles with a bit of chili oil ($11.99 for one; $19.99 for two). If they cut down on the salt, this would be a favourite for sure.
Dolsot BiBimBap - sauteed vegs, ground beef, egg on rice in a stone bowl ($10.99) was hot, fresh, & tasty - definitely a fave.
Overall, SongCook's is a nice, cozy, & warm place to grab good Korean food. Is it the best in the area? Maybe not but it's definitely worth popping into to satisfy any craving.
