Korean

I need to update this (it was my first review), essentially because this is hands down my FAVOURITE and most frequented place to eat and I didn't give it enough praise in the first (too short) edition of my review.
This place is right next to my…More »

4. Ka Chi
Toronto, ON M6G 1K7
(416) 533-9306
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Seaton Village
Been meaning to write up on this one for awhile.
Once or twice a year I go through a month of "pork bone soup" craze, where I absolutely have to get my Ka-chi fix once a week or so. Usually this takes place when the weather is cold, rainy and a bit…More »
5. Roll House

(416) 516-8383
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Oh yeah, why does new Korean foodage popping up in K-town send chills down my spine??
Roll House opened up last week and I was quick to check it out.
They have a nice little set up inside, booths have high-ish walls for more privacy when you dine.

6. Sunrise House
Toronto, ON M6G 1L1
(416) 535-1019
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
OMFG. Why haven't I been here before? Could it be I was afraid to put another Korean place into my current rotation (Buk Chang, Thumbs Up, Tofu Village, Kachi)??
I was really craving kimchijjigae today (for non-Korean food eaters, this is a Korean…More »
7. Seoul Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G 1K8
(416) 532-9669
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
I'm on a quest to find the best pork bone soup in the city.
Seoul Sam Mi was the next place on my list to scout out. (It's always busy - that's a good sign in K-town. There are so many dining options in K-town and I've never gone wrong by picking one…More »
8. Pho Ngon

Categories:
Vietnamese,
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Ahh Pho N'gon ....I'm so sorry to do this to you, because you were my first ROTD...but you are being downgraded.
After the wonderful Grand Opening specials were done, Pho N'gon just failed to wow me. With all the delicious cheaper Korean food nearby,…More »
9. Pour Boy Pub
Toronto, ON M6G 2W4
(647) 343-7969
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Seaton Village
K-Town really needed a new bar, the hipsters at Clintons were overflowing into the streets every night.
I have been so excited about the opening of Pour Boy over the past month. I didn't even know what exactly it planned to be, but I saw the spray…More »
10. Born Jook
Toronto, ON M6G 1L5

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
This place just opened up (a few weeks ago I think, May?) just next to the Baskin Robbins on the corner of Christie/Bloor.
It's a small takeout only joint, but they do have 5 high seats along one side if you want to quickly eat there.
The place serves…More »
11. Owl of Minerva
Toronto, ON M6G

Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Bickford Park, Seaton Village
This was the next on my list of places to try pork-bone soup.
Upon walking in, my first impression was "Do I REALLY want to eat here?!?!" Wow. The place definitely has a hint of sketchiness. I can't quite pinpoint what gives, exactly, but there's…More »
12. Joons Restaurant
Toronto, ON M6G 1K6
(416) 538-2661
Category:
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Palmerston, Seaton Village
Joons specialty is their table top cooking. Most tables come with a built-in stove in the middle of the table where the cooking is done.
Waitstaff will bring out the raw veggies and meat and get things cooking for you, then they come back frequently…More »
