Review from Archimedes T.

I do come to this place more often recently ever since my friend P showed me a dish they call tofu at another restaurant.
This restaurant just happens to be very close to my place, close enough to walk. That's why I come here often.
They are nice in that they can make their dishes with zero spice when asked.
So today I order something slightly different than my usual fare of Seafood Tofu, instead I got the Beef/Vegetable/Seafood tofu.
As expected I did take an MSG hit when I got back home, but I also found that this dish was saltier than my normal expectation.
I would still come back here again, but it would be just a flip of the coin between this and Pho 88 because of their MSG levels. -

For dinner, we came in where my friend noticed the Korean patrons along with Korean servers. Thinking of this fact, I thought this place would be half decent but then again I thought that there aren't too many Korean traditional restaurants within the radius aside from Korean BBQ which is another category on it's own.
There was a good variety to choose from on the PHOTO menu which helps me to get an idea of what I'm eating even though it had Cantonese written on it as well as English. I had to order the Cold Noodle($7.95) and it was NORMAL in terms of noodle and garnishes but the soup was not as COLD as other places where they even put ice or slush in the bowl.
The Pork Bone Soup(around $6-7) was typical as well and was served BUBBLING hot, aside from that even for me it was not as SPICY as other places and that speaks a lot for someone that gets a bit sensitive when things turn spicy.
I think others might want to REQUEST more spice level when they order this item. I asked my friend why he took ALL the potatoes, and he told me he didn't as I only saw one piece sitting in the bottom of the bowl.
The Dolsot Bibimbap($9.95) seemed on par as well until I DUG around 5 minutes after it was served and notice not much rice became CRISPY. This mysterious phenomenon might be unsolved as the stone bowl should normally do a pretty decent job from my limited experience.
The service was okay and we were greeted coming in and going out. If you visit your washroom, you'll see around 30 bags of Korean rice in the hallway. The setting was nothing fancy as you can see from Jen K's photos.
2.5 STARS for this specific experience. Might be back to try the BEEF as I'm a fan of Korean Beef dishes.Listed in: 2.5 **Stars**, Hanguk, Pull my Noodles - Korea +…, Fire'd - Asian

I never intended to go to Jeon Ju Hyang Korean Restaurant! I was supposed to be going next door to have a bowl of Pho at Pho 88. I felt sorry when I walked by and this place is empty and they seems to be just coming up since their Grand Opening Specials won't be starting till April 15!
This place though has all the Chinese character/posters at the front door, it is runned by Korean. At least the 2 wait staffs are Korean speaking.
The prices seems reasonable.. the pork bone soup/spicy seafood noodles/traditional Korean noodle with chicken or beef all priced at $6.95.
However they don't have any soup noodle or any form of noodles today! I was disappointed... so I ended up ordering the Bibimbop ($9.95).
The appetizers were all quite good.. with 7 of them (kimchi, peanuts, bean sprouts, potatoes etc.) The bibimbop has a good mixture of fresh vegetables inside (carrots, mushroom, bean sprouts, cumcumbers) ... But I do feel really healthy eating that! The vegetables soup though has a lot of veg inside but I found it a little too salty for my taste.
The services of course is good.. since really I am the only one eating there for lunch!
They should have some lunch specials so more customers will come in!
However, I will be back to try out their Grand Opening specials Pork Galbi for $8.99 next week!
They don't accept credit card, interac and cash only.Listed in: Mashi-e-sawyo! Korean…

Good price, nice spot spot with great service. The Kimchi soup I ordered might have had too much going on in it. I like things simple; next time I'll ask them to hold off on the soft & fried tofus. I love spices but my friend almost choked on the appetizer she ordered. It's pretty neat the variety of panchan (side dishes) that come with tea before they serve your main dish but I'm a bit picky when served cold food typically cook and served hot. I will go back to try their Bulgogi, Korean barbecue and Jeon specialty; if impressed will raise the mark ;)
