Delicious pork trotters and steamed pork. They have a variety of flavours, and all taste really good. Recommend the roasted jokbal, garlic jokbal, and spicy bossam.

★★★★

Highly recommend smoky-roasted jokbal and spicy jokbal if you can handle spicy. What you can do is order the original or garlic flavor and add extra spicy sauce on the side. We made the mistake and mixing the sauce with the meat and my friends did not have a fun night (the washrooms were occupied for 2 days straight). Rose Rice cake is a must to balance that fatty juicy meat.

A pretty busy korean restaurant. We get there around 6 pm, there's still some tables available. But after 7 pm, it's full. My first time went there, because friends recommend trying this. Overall, the food is good. Extra spicy is really spicy! So if u like it, go for it extra spicy. The portion is big. U can refill the side dishes. Their signature dish is $44/plate and can be mix&match flavors.

I usually get the spicy braised pork hock here–very tender and flavourful, with a great smoky taste. It’s a bit sweet for my preference, but overall delicious! Also highly recommend the seafood pancake and the pork soup with rice.

★★★★★

My friend says it's the best pork hock in Toronto. We ordered half Original Jokbal and half Spicy Jokbal, and DIY Seasoned Riceballs, and they were all delicious. I love how Spicy Jokbal and riceball eat together, their flavors go well together. The waitress is nice. This really is the best pork hock in Toronto! Super recommended!

This is my first time having jokbal, so I don't have anything to compare to, but it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the garlic jokbal which came with very generous amounts of garlic topping. The portion size of the jokbal is quite large and is definitely more than enough for two people - maybe even 3 if you don't eat much. The seasoned DIY rice balls were also delicious and a perfect accompaniment. I would definitely come back again! Just a note, the restaurant is very busy and the interior is quite small, so expect at least a 30 minute wait. The tables aren't really set up for groups larger than 4, so that's something to keep in mind as well.

★★★★★

I owe my friend so much for this recommendation because it's easily the best Jokbal I've ever had. We ordered the garlic jokbal, roasted jokbal (my favourite), and the spicy bossam, all were amazing. The side dishes were great too. For a side dish, I recommended the DIY seasoned riceballs, theyre satisfying to make and flavourful. The tteobokki and cold noodles were average. Just a reminder: this place doesn't take reservations, so we waited for 40 minutes, which was expected for a group of eight during peak dinner time.

I’m very impressed by the food here. Usually, it’s hard to completely remove the smell from pork belly or jokbal. This restaurant made that happens. All the food quality is above average. The rice ball dishes flavor is extremely balanced. The portion is huge. When we asked for takeout, they even gave us extra fresh side dishes. That makes my lunch easier in the next day.

The bossam was dry because it was the part that had almost no fat other than the pork belly part. The cold vegetable pigs feet werent bad, but it would have been delicious if more mustard flavor had been added to the cold vegetable sauce. The Bossam radish kimchi that came with it didnt suit my taste, so I just made it myself.

September 22, 2024

Back in the January, this place s spicy jokbal was one of the best delicacy. However, the quality and taste of food kept downgrading for some reason. Not sure what happened, but this place is not the place that I know anymore. Definitely not going to order any food from this place.

September 22, 2024

Why are you here? Do you reuse food? The kimchi looks like someone ate it, and the pigs feet look like they were old and reboiled. The bones were black and almost made me vomit, so I dont think Ill ever eat them again. How can they be less fresh and tasteless than those at Chinese supermarkets???

The food here is alright. There isn t a difference between the scarborough and north york locations so I would go to the closest one to you. The seasoned rice balls have gotten more sweet over the years for some reason and wish it could be less sweet. Overall, I would go here if I wanted to eat jokbal.

The Original Jokbal was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, and the meat was tender and flavorful. Its clear that they take great care in preparing this dish, and it paid off. However, I also tried the Bossam, and while it was decent, it didnt quite reach the same level as the Jokbal. The Bossam lacked a bit of depth in flavor and could have been more tender. The service at HANYANG JOKBAL was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. Overall, I would recommend trying their Original Jokbal for a truly satisfying dining experience.

If you like braised pork I highly recommend ordering takeout from here. You also get wee little discount if paying w cash. Few parking spots available in front of the restaurant. - Food: 9/10 (I ordered spicy one and bbq one. Overall loved it but wish bbq jokbal had more smokey flavour) - Portion: $55 half & half was enough to feed 3 ppl imo. I also ordered rice ball in addition. - Price: a bit pricey but thats kinda expected as Jokbal is also expensive in Korea too (not sure why but its just like that ). Anyway given the portion and the quality it was worth it for me. -Condiments&lettuce: 10/10 i was impressed with their thoughtfulness in including many sauces to pair with jokbal. Also lettuce was fresh fresh no wilted old lettuce -Side beansprout soup: 10/10 spicy but addictive fr.

March 22, 2024

Food is good but the service is terrible. When we ask for lettuce for Jokbal, the server just come and told us that here is not all you can eat , this is the last dish of lettuce. What?! Of course I know it is not all you can eat. You can come to us saying that there is limit for lettuce, I have no problem with that. Or you can say you need to pay extra for more lettuce, fine I will pay for that if I really want to have lettuce. Kind of weird and rude saying like this. I feel extremely disappointed for the service of a man server. Food was good but horrible experience, never come back again.

Not much service except when u place order and ask for the bill. The rest of the meal was more or less youre on your own. Perhaps not a good day for the waitress but she didnt look happy. With minimum 15% service charge and above, was hoping for better service. Think I prefer family owned Korean restaurants in this case. Food was good...meats juicy and skin chewy, seafood pancake crispy, spicy pork just the right balance of spice and pork bone soup creamy colored (not like the normal ones youd get at Korean restaurants), seasoned rice was also on the spot. Parking: Limited parking that is shared with a group of shops.

This is a nice authentic Korean restaurant in North York. We tried the Spicy Jokbal, Garlic Jokbal, Seafood pancake, and the Tteokbokki. I would rate the Seafood Pancake at the top, followed by the Spicy Jokbal, which is Spicy Grilled Pork. The Garlic Jokbal is braised pork with Garlic Sauce. The Tteokbokki is yummy but very spicy, so its not for everyone. Overall, it is a fairly good restaurant if you are in the mood for some authentic Korean food. Parking: There was parking when we arrived and it was a Thursday afternoon. However it could be difficult to find parking during busy times.

I visited the restaurant for the first time at the recommendation of my friends. There were two servers, but the male server was incredibly unfriendly and spoke very rudely. The female server had a very bad expression and looked tired. The food was very delicious, just as I heard from my friends and the staff. I originally asked if it was like this, and they said they were very friendly the last time I came in the evening, but it was my first visit and I was very disappointed with the service. Its not like Im paying a small amount of money to eat, so it would be nice if the service was basically satisfactory.

January 22, 2024

I m from Mississauga, been driving half hour and arrived here at 11:40pm Jan 21, and the girl reception told us they closing in 20 mins impolitely which is wrong since they closed at 1am. I was confused but didn t think much so that I was about to leave, and then I realized that they shouldn t close at 12am, I asked the other gentleman server were they actually closing in 20 mins and he said last call to order is in 20 mins. I don t know why the girl reception said they closing in 20 mins, maybe she doesn t want work too much to handle one more table of customers

The Jokbal literally melts in your mouth.. Both the meat and collagen are so soft and dangerously good it s hard to stop eating until it s all gone. The collagen left on the bones are a treat too! I ve had the spicy one before and honestly it s a challenge to choose between the two every time.. The DIY rice balls were good but I think there was too much mayo as the rice balls had a hard time actually holding the shape. Aka difficult to make.. Spicy cold noodles were disappointing. Most likely because the noodles were all clumped up and stuck together as we ordered take out The sauce is sweet and spicy and I liked the addition of pineapple. All in all I still love Hanyang Jokbal but I d much rather recommend and prefer dine in than take out. It just hits different!

I visited Hanyang Jokbak a couple of times, and yesterday around 7:45pm. The place was busy; we were the last group of three to be seated without having to line up. The garlic jokbal was delicious; the portion was good for two, but a bit pricier than average Korean restaurants. The cold noodle tasted not too spicy or sweet. The wait staff were courteous and kind. ============================================= : Bare minimum - I would not visit or use service again. : Satisfy - I would visit or use the place when I got a chance. : Exceptional - I highly recommend this place to everyone

Might be the best jokbal Ive tried in Toronto. Would recommend the half and half if its your first time, but highly prefer the jokbal over bossam. Also, one order of meat with many side was more than enough for 4ppl + we had leftover meat. +visited the second time and tried their spicy jokbal, it pairs great with rice. I got garlic on the side since I the garlic jokbal is essentially garlic sauce on top.

Good food but can t tolerate the attitude of our waitress. I went to Hanyang Jokbal with my friends on April 30 for late lunch. The female waitress was inpatient and unhelpful. When I was trying to pay with tab the machine didn t work. She didn t try to offer help but just stood there and let me kept trying to tap. After many tries, the POS machine was timed out. So I asked her if I should try my physical credit card. She rolled her eyes and made frustrated sound as I was stupid. She reset the POS machine and rudely hand me the machine with out saying a word. I successfully paid the bill with my physical credit card and wanted to hand the POS machine back to her. She just stood there and looked around, totally ignored me. After holding the POS machine for more than 5 seconds, I have to leave the machine on the table. To be honest, I love the food of the restaurant but I don t want to go back because the rude service we received.

December 22, 2023

Food is super good, but the waitress s attitude was very disrespectful. We had lunch here around 1pm, that waitress was showing no patience all the little annoying expressions on her face

December 22, 2023

Enjoyed food. Disappointing service. Came for lunch on Sunday afternoon. Our waitress appeared visibly impatient when we requested a split bill and even went as far as rolling her eyes and made impatient noise, making us feel as if our request was an inconvenience. While I highly recommend the food, the poor service detracted from the overall experience and I will not return in the future.

I went to eat jokbal because it was my favorite jokbal restaurant. I heard they started cold soba so I ordered it right away. Its so refreshing because the fish are floating around, and the noodles are chewy. It was delicious! The noodles are different from the tray noodles! The weather was very hot, but the heat went away when I ate some cold soba noodles

The spicy pork feet was . Love the mixed rice ball too. Found out the cold noodle was a little too spicy for me. It s good to go with a group of 4 and up, the portions are big so sharing is the better option. Will definitely be back.

This place is amazing. Their menu is very small, but it s because you should be coming for one and one thing only. That amazing Jokbal. Such a simple dish, braised pork hock. The meat is incredibly tender, and accompanied with some rice and the lettuce provided, you have an amazing tasty and filling dish. If you re gonna come here, try out the classic braised pork hock as well as spicy (Spicy especially!) and just try adding all the sides together. Love this place, and will be coming back when I m back in Toronto!

If you eat pigs feet and rice balls and give the basic tip, it will cost you $70. I ordered the pigs feet as regular spicy and it was delicious and not too spicy. Im disappointed with the rice balls. Im not sure about its identity because it doesnt come together at all, whether its because of the flying fish roe or because the rice wasnt cooked. I think it would be much better to balance the taste if they drastically reduced the amount of flying fish roe or changed it to something like tuna and lowered the price ($10 for rice balls is a bit expensive.) Next time, I think Ill just order air rice. The bean sprout soup and side dishes were good and delicious.

This place has been on our list for awhile, and it was definitely not disappointing. We ordered the jokbal and DIY rice balls. We were worried about the spice level so we settled for regular, but in hindsight, we would ve wanted to order spicy or garlic. It was still good though, and the portions were big. We ended up taking some of it home. On the other hand, we LOVED the DIY rice balls. It seemed simple at first but so delicious, and I personally enjoy food that is interactive aha. We d definitely go again to try another jokbal flavour! Edit to add: We finally tried to spicy jokbal! It was delicious, and I recommend it over the regular flavour. However, we ordered it with tteokbokki, and there wasn t a lot. I don t know if it s worth adding $4 for around 8 pieces. Otherwise, it was delicious. We tried the seafood pancake too which was good.

This place is so so good. Its my absolute favourite restaurant in the city. Whenever people ask, its my go-to answer without a thought. Best braised pork hock, always in the mood for it. I just love their dishes, Ive been here often enough that Ive had most of their menu. My favourites are the bbq braised hock, garlic braised hock, rice balls and their seafood pancake. Whenever I have a shared day off with some one who hasnt tried this place, Ill bring them just so I have an excuse to go back. So so tasty!

The pork feet is amazing. Non-skin part of the pork feet can be a bit bland but it gets balanced well when eating with their great kimchi! DIY rice ball is very simple but delicious.

Ordered a whole jokbal dish from UberEats, only give such a small box of sauce, 3 piece of garlic and 3 piece of hot paper! So stingy!!!!! No Korean restaurant can be stingy like this! Will never spend money here!

Edit: I think the value has dropped significantly, especially if you do takeout instead of sitting in. The portions feel much smaller now than before, and the price has gone up quite high. Very good value for the portion you get. The menu says serves 2 but it can definitely serve 3. If you go for lunch, get the lunch special which is $24 for half jokbal and half rice, then upgrade the rice for $5 to seasoned rice which is AMAZING (the same rice you get for the $10 DIY rice balls), absolutely worth the upgrade. The lunch special was $29 before tax and can feed two. My favorite flavor is definitely the spicy jokbal. If its your first time you can get the half and half to try the original jokbal and bossam. Theres a cash discount for 5% off. Service was excellent and free refills on the sides and lettuce and sauces. We were stuffed and had so much leftover, and all for approx $28 per person AFTER tax and tips. I rather eat this than any AYCE place.

The jokbal is yummy! Full of collagen The pancake is nice but the tteokbokki was just soso as a small portion. Their kimchi was not something I would recommend. There are not much choices that we can choose, probably I would only recommend the Jokbal!

Top rating Korean restaurant. Food quality is great - strongly recommend seafood pancake, so crispy, it has good balance on seafood and pancake. Original Braised Pork Hocks - big portion, good texture with layers of tastes. First time to try Walmae (Korean white wine), very interesting, perfect match with Korean food, love it. Nice vibes, polite and attentive staffs. Definitely come back again.

Some of the food at this Korean restaurant was surprising, but there were a few things that werent thought through in the food experience. The most commendable thing about the meal we ordered was the preparation and taste of the pigs trotters. The pigs trotters are removed from the hoof bones, allowing the bones to become decorations, which not only stimulates appetite, but also greatly reduces the trouble of diners to remove the meat on their own. The pork trotter itself is divided into two parts: meat and tendons plus fat skin. Through marinating and grilling, the texture and taste of the meat are both crispy and crispy, just like eating the center part of a comfortable Napoleon cake; the tendons and fat skin are roasted to perfection, and when chewed in the mouth, they are both glutinous and chewy. The oil produced adds a deep aftertaste. It can be said that the pigs trotters dish is very successful. But some of them were poorly thought out and caused some regrets. For example, the room temperature is a little low, so the purple clay plate holding the pigs trotters cannot be kept warm, and the fat on the tendons and pig skin has condensed, making the taste worse. The rice you ordered can be shaped into rice balls with your hands, but because the rice itself is not sticky enough, the rice balls cannot be formed at all. There are also some issues that are not listed one by one. In short, there are surprises and regrets, but it is definitely recommended.

Korean restaurants that specializes in pork hocks. The spicy pork hock was very good as the bbq/ grilled flavour was very prominent. I also liked how the bossam (pork belly) wasn t too fatty compared to other restaurants I ve tried. Portion size was reasonable as prices were around $40-$50 for a main.
