I've been here a handful of times because it's close to my house. I believe they are legit Korean because they understand almost no words of english.
I've ordered a variety of things before here and theyre standard. However i did order the Budae Jigae dish once (a big soup dish served with meats and tofu and noodles in it) and it's one of very few places i know that actually serve this dish! Definitely reminds me of when I was in Korea!
This is a place i'd come back to when i'm hungry and don't know where to go, or just feel for some good korean food. It's definitely a safe choice for me. -

Traditionally, a gathering with my Family Relatives would be held at one of the many Cantonese restaurants within the Markham/Scarborough area. There's almost never a second thought about it as it usually offers delicious sharable Food at a reasonable price-range while giving everybody that recognizable flavour profile that they grew up on.
This time around we(I) decided to venture outside the box but considering that Ga Bin Korean is right in the middle of a Chinese plaza, it's not too far a stretch. What I learned in this instance is that sharing some Korean dishes amongst a larger group has slightly more challenges than Chinese dishes.
#4 on Back Menu. Selection of items(for Group)
Banchans - That Potato Dish is definitely tasty sweet with the texture of Fried Potato while enveloped in some sort of sugar coating almost resembling Maple Syrup in color. The Dude forgot Kimchi for our table which must be some Korean Sacrilege of some sort while giving us everything else. (-0.5 Star)

The restaurant is a typical Korean restaurant in terms of decor and variety of food is larger than some places I've been to.
A friend suggested to go to Ga Bin since I've never gone and I really like the food here. The appetizers were average but the potatoes as mentioned from another reviewer was fried and sweet on the inside; different than most Korean restaurants.
We ordered; Kimchi pancake, Gamjatang and Soon Tofu. As per my friend's comments the Gamjatang was more spicy than other places and the flavour was really good. The Soon Tofu was very good, I've gone to Oh Geul Boh Geul and it was salty; but here at Ga Bin it was perfect and they were generous in portions in terms of tofu, veggies, etc. I would recommend this place to others and would most definitely go again. -

If you are looking for good Korean food at an affordable price, this is the place to go. Not the most spicy in the world, at least not the few plates I've tried but the food is good and clean

Ga Bin Korean Restaurant is surrounded by Chinese restaurant in one of the Plaza at Silver Star Blvd. and Steeles.
It is owned and runned by Korean. They have been doing this Pork Bone Soup Specials for $5.00 that includes a pop for the longest time. I have to say it is a great value but from July on it will be $5.99 instead.
Dropped by on a weekday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant is nice, clean and empty. When it is hot and sunny, I always want to have the Korean Cold Noodle Soup. And luckily this is on the lunch menu.
I have to say Ga Bin makes one of the best Cold Noodle Soup ($7.99) I have ate. It is served in this metal bowl with ice in my soup. The noodle is nice and chewy..and there is 2 slice of watermelon in the soup too. I love the pickled cabbage. A little spicy, a little garlicky and so refreshing.
The beef in it is not too good. I would have ask them to skip that next time.
The service is fast and friendly. I will definitely be back to try out other lunch specials.. or order the Cold Noodle Soup again!
They accepts Visa, Mastercard or Interac for bills over $10.
