This restaurant is the restaurant's 2nd location. The first one is located at Leslie and Bayview, this restaurant is at Yonge and Sheppard, right next door to Sushi One and Pizzaiolo.
The ambiance of the restaurant is modern and clean.
They specialize in Samgyetang which is a whole chicken stuffed with ginseng and other herbs, simmered in broth served bubbling in a hot stone bowl. It is imperial cuisine (high class cuisine) so the prices aren't the cheapest you will find but the quality is definitely there and the taste is delicious. Proper samgyetang will come unsalted so that the person can control the amount of salt they want. Also, proper samgyetang does not come with red sauce to dip the chicken in - The King did not eat spicy foods, 'imperial Korean food' is not spicy. I take the salt and pepper laid out for you on the table and pour a bit on a plate and dip the chicken in that. Some people like to shred the chicken and pick out the bones in the soup and eat it like a chicken porridge.
Their side dishes are all proper and very good. They are served in expensive brushed copper plates - exactly the way imperial cuisine should be served.
I go often as its so close to work and I'm always in and out in 30 minutes. I think they have one of the best stone bowl bibimbaps in all of Toronto. Today I tried the raw beef stone bowl bibimbap and it was faaantastic.
I would definitely go again and we do take clients out here at our company for some very traditional, upscale Korean food.
