I came here after a long day of St. Paddy's day drinking, so this review has that obvious drunken bias where you think whatever you are eating tastes much better than it actually is. But fortunately, I am a pretty big food snob, so I can feel comfortable reviewing Coreana despite my altered state of mind!
The atmosphere is like pretty much every other cheap Korean restaurant in Koreatown - small, white walls and just plain boring. But that's not why we go to these places. Here are all the pros: cheap (most items on the menu are less than $10, I'd say per person, appetizer + main + tip, the meal will come out to around $14-17), a generous variety of free banchan (side dishes), cute and friendly waiters (think Korean hipster boy-band guys!), and of course, yummy food!
My friends and I ordered a pretty good range of items - we got dumplings and a seafood pancake to start, both came promptly and were piping hot! And neither were greasy at all which was great. I ordered the chicken bibimbap. It certainly is not the best bibimbap I have had in Toronto, but satisfying nonetheless. It had a nice home-cooked taste, my only complaint is there could have been more meat in it. My friends ordered a variety of bibimbap, gamjatang (pork bone soup), and kimchi soft tofu stew (I can't remember the exact name). No one had any complaints and we all left happy and full!
