| - I'll probably be coming back here whenever I'm craving Korean food. This is definitely a takeout place and there's maybe five stools to sit down on. The restaurant faces Steeles and you can see the sign from the road - it's in a small plaza wedged between the big RBC/No Frills plaza and Wendy's/Tim Hortons so be careful not to miss it. That being said if you do eat in, the owners will give you actual cutlery and plates. The owners are quite friendly and service is good.
Upon first glance the pricing for their food seems average. When you get your food and realize how big the portions are, you realize that you got a pretty good deal.
The menu consists of set dinners for two, recommended dishes, rice bowls, and sides (e.g. ddeokbokki/rice cakes, japchae, etc.) We ordered the set dinner for two - came to 22 dollars including tax and even with the both of us we still had half our meal left over. We wanted the pork bone soup but they were still in the process of making it as they had sold out earlier and substituted it with a box of beef on rice instead. Normally, the set comes with pork bone soup, a big box ddeokbokki (with seafood!) and a takeout box of all japchae.
It all comes with three side dishes which you can pick from at least 12 different options. They don't give a lot but the portion of the meal itself makes up for it.
Food was quite good. Especially the japchae - a good balance of sweet and slightly savory and a good texture. Beef on rice was good as well - beef was on the tougher side but not difficult to eat and was sweet. The rice cakes were also quite good and nicely presented. They could have easily given us a small box of rice cakes and sauce but they had half a boiled egg and seafood, garnished with sesame. You can see they put work into it. Later the owner gave us some of the pork bone soup to try. Lots of different flavors in it and quite spicy.
Good service, portions, and pricing and will be back.
