Review from Eleni L.

I spend 3 super cold nights a week every Winter shivering infront of this place waiting to sink my teeth into the cheapest food in North York.
Love it! It's pretty much a meal under $3.
Note- Cash only. You can get cash back at the Shoppers Drug Mart infront of the Food Cart - I bet that's what all the Koreans in the Shoppers line up are doing. -

I drove by this little street vendor and got excited as I never saw a Korean street stand before. Quickly looked for a parking spot and walked straight to the vendor, dooling for Korean food.
To my surprise the food looked good in their pictures, but tasting was X_X
The food was kept warm in water and they just squirt sauce on their items.
The fish waffle with red bean dessert was unique, as it was made fresh on the spot with their fish waffle machine.

Stopped here to meet the BF for lunch, but the neat thing is that nothing is over $5.
The best thing are their red bean fishies[taiyaki] ( 3/$2) hot and fresh and not stuffed with a terribly sweet red bean paste; perfectly balanced and a great sweet ending to lunch and for sharing. -

The Korean Man hummed a few verse of K-tunes.
Preparing the next batch of Bungeoppang.

Sauce option of Spicy or Teriyaki. 20% Tip'd. :D
A skewer of 2-piece Bacon-wrapped mini Fishcakes.
Take that bench seat nearby if available. Do not litter!

Review from Karl R.
The hits keep coming. The pojangmacha food cart has added a couple more Korean street food staples.
They've added one of my favorite Korean foods of all time "wang mandu". Wang means "king" and "mandoo" is dumpling. So. King dumpling. The food cart people have translated it to steamed dumpling. I've seen wang mandu translated by a very upscale Korean department store into English as "big dumps" so I'll take the generic translation vs a rather scatological scattered attempt at conveying the idea these are the "kings" of dumplings. You could get about six of these puppies for $3 in Seoul. Here they're $1 per. They contain, roughly, some kind of meat, veggies, and noodles. You really don't want to inquire too closely regarding the contents, considering these things were a way for Korean food companies to package up garbage and sell it in the frozen food section (http://yasuzaki.zero-y...).
The menu also indicates they've added samgyupsal to the menu but they were out when I was there this Devil's Night eve. Samgyupsal ("three stripe meat") is a kind of uncured bacon. I've personally never been a fan. It's the grease of bacon without the maple seasoned goodness. It's just a strip of hot texture in your mouth. It is, however, the ultimate Korean male bonding food. Where as Canadian males might bond over a pitcher of Export Ale and basket of wings, Korean males will bond over a table cooker full of samgyupsal and soju.Listed in: Eating for about $5

Review from Jennifer K.
Markham, ON
This is SO SO SO Neat!! A food cart in the middle of the street in North York selling Korean snack food!!
I don't believe my eyes when I saw the food cart on the sidewalk and I scream with delight "Karl!! This must be the Korean thing you yelp about!!!!"
So cute with the little gold fish cake maker and they are light and crisp and warm for $2/3! Thanks for Lauren M for sharing! I think they are better than the one at Green Mart!
There are also other Korean snack food that all reasonably priced. I for sure will going to back to try them all!
I wish one the day there will be one for Thai, Chinese and other Ethnic food cart appearing in the Toronto area instead of just boring HOT DOG stand! -

F*CK yeah, this place has fish-shaped waffles stuffed with red bean paste! 3 for $2.
The waffles are cooked in a fish-shaped waffle iron, very similar to the walnut irons at Hodo Kwaja.
4 stars just for the novelty value. But they were pretty tasty and served piping hot!
