"8"^^ . . "2013-02-01T00:00:00"^^ . . . "I lived in LA for 4 years and was (comparatively) spoiled by the 5-floored, mega-jimjilbang complexes like Wi and more intimate, chi-chi joints like Natura. Having relocated to Toronto, I had been without my bi-weekly sweat-n-scrub for a good year and desperately needed a fix. I made the long trek from downtown Toronto to Seoul Zimzilbang with a sore back and a hankering for a schvitz.\n\nThe spots extremely basic (again, I'm used to clay ball pits, mugwort tubs and extremely novel ways to delivering hot steam, cool mist and scented air) but very clean and I give the owners massive kudos for opening a place like this in a city not exactly known for it's love of public bathing... srsl people, there is nothing nicer than spending an entire day sitting around in your skivvies with a bunch of other nekkid folks: it's a lovely social leveler.\n\nThe attendants were very pleasant, the seaweed soup right on the mark and the baked eggs nice as well. The epic stretches of leather couches were rather comfy as well and I liked that you could actually control the channels (most of the spots I've frequented in the past had set channels... good if you like soaps, but dull otherwise). \n\nOnly beef: really wish they had a hotter sauna (I like to B-A-K-E!) and a warm stone floor to sleep on would be nice... otherwise, a nice little spot to doze away a Sunday."^^ .
