| - Owl of Minerva is a solid no frills Korean food that's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everyone from Toronto knows about this Korean chain and it's numerous locations (K-town, North York, etc). It's not fancy by any means, but the convenience of its many locations and flexible hours makes it a huge draw, especially after a late night out.
They have a pretty extensive menu with pretty much all the Korean food you could possibly think of. I would describe their food as "basic", but in a good sense. Nothing fancy, simple presentation (only 4 ban chan dishes are included), but solid taste-wise. I tried their beef bulgogi which was decent. I liked the fact that there was some jap chae noodles and vegetables mixed in with the meat.
The pork bone soup is where it's at though. During my last visit, I think 75% of the restaurant customers ordered that dish. Sadly, I haven't tried it for myself. The ban chan is disappointing though, with only 4 offerings: kim chi, sprouts, cucumber and pickled radish. You can't really complain, because the pricing is fair and food comes out quickly.
*3.5 stars*
