Let's face it: Toronto's got Seoul! And with so many Korean eateries around, your eyes are bound to bulgogi! From plump pork bone soup to satisfying soon tofu, the Weekly Yelp's here to hose that hunger and curb your cravings with a sizzling-hot list of the best Korean this side of Busan!
In the mood to get boned? Or maybe you prefer porking? Either way, at Seoul Restaurant, the pork bone soup spices up Lauren M and satisfies in a spine-tingling kinda way: "I'm on a quest to find the best pork bone soup in the city, and the one there is perfect, never overcooked." Marie B ain't no bonehead. She gives two Thumbs Up to "generous portions, broth that's both spicy and flavourful and pork bone meat that falls off with a nudge." But for under $7, Ernest C routinely dips into a serving of gamjatang at Ka-Chi. "Five stars for delivering consistent food at super cheap prices. There are other decent menu items, but what's the point?"
The tofu-averse are screaming for soy after slurping the sundubu jjigae at tofu temple Buk Chang Dong Soon. Souper man Devan R declares it part of his "arsenal of jaw-dropping, mouthwatering meals. I'm so charged up after consuming it, I feel like scooping up a manhole cover and launching it into space." Neil T peels back the wrapper on another top tofu contender, House Of Soon: "There's definitely enough demand for another tofu baron in town. The soon tofu is da bomb bizzle and a bargain at $7." Soy it ain't so!
Care to say, "Annyong!" to bite-sized snacks? Shop for takeaway treats at PAT Central Market, the Mecca of shelved East Asian eats. Jan A picks up frozen goodies like "melon popsicles. You can buy them by the box, and if you buy one, you can scratch to win another delicious box!" At Hodo Kwaja, Jennifer M shells out $3 for wall to walnuts and takes a crack at "a dozen walnut cakes – the perfect dessert for two." Now, get crackin' K-style!
