Review from Leah L.

I was craving for korean food during lunch time and didn't want to go far from my area so we decided to try this one out.
It's a small restaurant and the atmosphere is very casual and quiet. I was expecting it to be busy since it was a Saturday afternoon and everyone was grabbing lunch at nearby restaurants (traffic was horrible outside where this is located and it's hard to turn since they dont have a spacious parking lot).
Once settled in, I appreciate for the fact that the people there were very nice and very attentive. The food, however, was okay. I noticed they had a lot of hot pots is in their menu and I ordered the "assorted seafood" one since I wanted to try it out. It was okay, nothing too fancy since the ingredients were kept simple. I just wish it had more flavor to it.
The hot pots I believe range from 7-10$ I think... so if your in the mood for hot pots you can go there and try them out. So far, their hot pots are the least pricey I've come across since the one's I know cost a little bit more than theirs. And, they also serve other food too like bulgogi and such..which is quite nice too. Then again, I wish it had more flavor.
Their side dishes are good I must say. They give you a lot of serving on each dish and I like they don't cheap out.
Overall, I would recommend going here if your craving for Korean food to fill your tummy (if your around the area). This is the place to try out.
If you have high expectations on what Korean food SHOULD taste like, then skip out on this and make a trip downtown. -

yes im a fan. i like the fact that i didn't have to ask for refills on my panch'an. all the little side dishes were great i especially liked the potatoes.
its a small mom n' pop korean joint near 10 and dundas that serves up some pretty decent gamjatang. it's about my third time here and have had no complaints.
fyi
- If you're coming eastbound on dundas it is difficult to turn left on the small street cause of all the traffic.
-free wifi too -

Do get the soon du bu (soft tofu casserole-you get a raw egg to add yourself!)
Do get the seafood pancake (made to order crispy edges and loaded with oysters and shrimps)
Do get the gam ja tang (pork bone soup-spicy and filling)
Don't get the rice sticks (duk bok ki-sauce is too sweet)
Don't get the Ja jang (noodles in black bean sauce-sause is like molasses!)
Do go often and support your local eateries!!! -

4 side dishes. 3 were gross. The potatoe one was good though. Not a good start to the night. Each dish was about $10 on average. It was not worth it. The tofu soup was decent. Pork rib soup was awful... bland and expensive. The beef slices soup was passable. Overall, I wouldn't come here again.

I have only been here once for take out on the way downtown to see my sister along with some friends. We picked up GamJaTang hot pot(My favorite Korean Dish by far) and some fried pot stickers.
The pork bone soup was okay, not what I'm used to texture wise from Old Korea Town(College) /New korea town (Young/finch)
But the plus is they add so much extra in that other places don't, boiled pot stickers/rice cakes/veggies. And there was noticeably more meat then other locations. Plus the size was huge compared to others, 4 of us ate it for dinner and 1 more for lunch. They also have purple rice =D
Would like to go back and try out a few more items, but only if I'm in the area and don't want to trek up or down town.
Not a lot of parking but plazas next door have more.
Plus: Washrooms are located in a different area downstairs and it is kind of creepy getting to it, you have to go through a couple of hallways and doors :s
on a another plus the people who own and run this restaurant are really friendly :D -
Review from Joeie K.

Clean environment; typical of the mom&pop Korean restaurants this side of M-town (Mississauga that is). Nothing to rave about, but hey, it's a clean place to eat.
Wouldn't necessarily come back here again, but wouldn't be against it.
Pros:
- normal, average food
- courteous service
- comes with side dishes
- a more extensive menu than other Korean restaurants in the area
Cons:
- it's definitely more on the expensive side in comparison to the other restaurants
Overall, it's OK. Across the street is a dirtier international food court (Newin Centre), and they (currently) have three Korean food court stalls that sell better tasting Korean food for cheaper prices, but you sacrifice on the environment sake. Also, you only either get kimchi or pickled radish for side dishes.
Meh. -

I love this area of Mississauga (Hurontario/Dundas) as there are dozens of hole-in-the-wall places to grab a bite and from all across our Big Blue Marble. Wow is one of them.
Always intrigued by the large orange sign outside, I scurried in.
Wow is wee. Wow is S. M. All.
I'm not sure how they fit two bowls of the oxtail soup on our table with the Spicy Chicken - holy fires of hell spicy. Sweet baby Jesus it was good. Loved the seasoning on the kalbi.
Wow makes and sells their own kimchi, which for us lazy folk, is dyno-mite.
FYI: They're looking for a full-time cook if anyone is interested.Listed in: The Sausage
