| - Not bad! Yet another better-than-average Korean restaurant in the west end, where portion size and price meets good value. Located just northwest of Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue (not too far away from Islington subway station), this place is a clean and casual joint (plain decor but spotless tables, cutlery is swaddled up in cutesy Insadong wrapping). Street parking is available in front of the restaurant, the food is decent, and prices are reasonable.
We visited on a Friday evening around 7:00 PM, and it wasn't too busy. While there weren't many dine-in patrons, there were quite a few people popping in to pick up their take-out orders. We ordered the Beef Bulgogi and Bibimbap, and overall, it was quite good. Not the best, but still quite delicious. The beef was nice and tender, and both dishes had a decent amount of flavour to it. Insadong also provides a decent array of side dishes, and are quite generous with portion size.
While I still prefer Chaban as my favourite Korean spot in the west end, this place isn't bad, and I'd come back again! Good for casual meals, but not necessarily a place you would take a fancy or semi-fancy date.
