| - You know when a store does well, it opens up another location, and there's a good reason why. The food is good Korean fare, especially for those who don't want to do the lineup at GaNaDaRa. The portions are good sized and prices not too bad. I would have to say that their banchan (Korean entrées) wasn't that impressive at all. With only 2 dishes, the kimchi didn't seem to be very well pickled and the scoop of mashed potato left something to be wanted. That being said, the rice cakes had a nice crispy exterior and chewy and was also piping hot. The mandu (dumplings) were a bit small but they were nice and crispy. I wanted to order the fried chicken but they didn't have single portions so that'll have to be for another time. The main dishes were flavourful and hot, especially the ones served in the stone bowls. I usually try the bibimbap from all the different Korean restos as a point of reference. If Masterchef Canada could make it a dish worthy of competition, it's simple looking but difficult to make well and balanced in flavours and ingredients, then it's worth comparing it against others. I found the rice to be plain and not the fancier purple rice that other Korean restos use and the egg a little too done, but otherwise the variety was there as well as presentation. Another would be the pork bone soup (next on my list). Overall, it's conveniently located, it's tasty and it'll answer the Korean food fix most people crave.
