I may not be Korean, but I sure do eat like one.

1. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 1L3
(416) 537-0972
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park
Not much else needs to be said about this place. It deserves the praise it gets, and its chigae is top drawer.
For something different though, order the doenjang chigae ("Soybean Soon Tofu" on the menu). The broth base is made from a fermented soybean…More »
2. Man Doo Hyang
Located in a nondescript plaza off Dundas, Man Doo Hyang is a popular Korean restaurant and a great way to experience Korean food beyond AYCE BBQ.
The name of this restaurant translates to Dumpling House, and these dumplings certainly don't…More »
3. Seoul Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G 1K8
(416) 532-9669
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Given the hot weather, it's only fitting to review this place for their "mul naeng myeon", or cold buckwheat noodle soup.
Perhaps to offset the notion that all Korean dishes must be served at near molten temperatures under constant exposed flame, this…More »
4. Woori Meat Shop
This place sells high-quality meat, cut in the Korean-style (i.e., ready to slap on your grill), for a good price.
That's it. What more do you want? The PAT market just down the street will take care of anything else.
I don't even think they speak…More »

Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
My Korean gf's go to place for pork bone soup on the Bloor strip. Specifically, I think it's because they'll turn it into fried rice with the remnants if you ask (in Korean only?? *shrug*)
Here's how it works: You're already stuffed beyond reasonable…More »
6. Tofu Village - House of Soon Tofu
Toronto, ON M6G 4B9
(647) 345-3836
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhood: Bickford Park
Downgrade. Though I still like the ability to get a soup/meat combo, my soon tofu was a disappointment. The flavour just wasn't there, and this wasn't helped by going to BCD just the night before. It's just...missing something.
Still very pleasant…More »

Susan C. lays it down hard, but where else are you going to find dak galbi in Toronto?
Definitely a different dinner option, dak galbi is a popular dish found in taverns/pubs in Korea, and is well-consumed with beer in hand.
Dak galbi is spicy…More »
8. Owl of Minerva
Toronto, ON M6G
(416) 538-3030
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
The only thing the Owl has going for it is its late hours of operation. For a convoy of Koreans looking to soothe their soju-filled bellies, this place is a beacon in the night with its offering of Kam Ja Tang (pork bone soup; because in Korea…More »
