1549 Steeles Ave E, North York, ON M2M 3Y7, Canada
The best Korean-Chinese cuisine from Jong Won Paik, the famous South Korean chef and CEO of THE BORN.
Very efficient service - we got our side dishes on the table before we even sat down. Food is fresh and delicious, especially given the affordable price. We also liked the convenience of the ordering system and how it gave us the option to have sauce on the side for the sweet and sour pork. Would come again!
Absolutely delicious!!! Service is very good, very hospitable! They make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious, I’m literally on my third plate as we speak and I’m not a fat guy! Just the flavours are so perfect. Also the food comes out very quick so no time to get full and you can continue ordering , hence why I am on my third plate. I found my new fav Korean restaurant!
First time here and it did not disappoint! Ordered Jjampong, Sweet and Sour Pork and dumplings as recommended by a friend who recently went here. Huge servings, you get the most out of your bucks. We love that you can order through a screen on the table. Staff are welcoming, attentive to your requests, and gave us the best and most comfortable seats available. Welcomed with side dishes and hot tea, perfect for us coming in from the cold parking lot. Will highly recommend to friends, and family!
Everything else was fine except for the most important part… the food was not good. The reviews look good only because they offer something for free when leaving a review. We ordered the sweet and sour pork and there was too much batter on there. The black bean noodles sauce had very little meat or vegetables it was mostly sauce (which wasn’t even good- too sweet and oily). The restaurant set up overall was efficient, you order on iPads and the servers were all nice.
Everything was delicious! 맛있어요. It was a bit of a wait for food as there were just so many people. We've ordered 짜장면, 짬뽕, 마파두부밥, all are very tasty. Wish we could get more rice though 😁 Would come back for the pork next time. Be sure to come early as they don't take reservations. Great staffs too!!!
Been here a couple of times and it has never disappointed! :) all the staff are super efficient and attentive. Food quality and taste are always amazing. Feels like it blew up even more after Culinary Class Wars so come early to avoid the line! Although it moves very quickly.
Fast pace service, servers answer questions patiently. Black bean noodle and Jjamppong very large portions and great taste. Fried chicken also crispy and tasty. But fried rice below average. Sightly packed environment and noisy but great atmosphere. Recommend to come.
They claimed they are the best Korean Chinese cuisine. After I tasted it, I thought it was worth the wait for 15-20 minutes to get a seat. On the menu, they offer a small variety of dishes and they focus on making every dish taste good and delicious. Quality is stable and portions are large for sharing.
Very clean establishment, friendly staff who would greet you making you feel welcomed!
Food was so delicious just like back in Korea. Service was excellent, very friendly and kind. Will visit again for sure.
The food is really delicious and the service is satisfactory.
Organized seating and ordering system. Service is fast and servers are nice and food is great. Reasonable prices and will definitely be coming back!
Paiks Noodle is peak. Disclaimer: I wrote this for a free Flower Bread - which is highly praised at the table. But truly, the foods great. Food : 5/5
Good tasted great, service was quick.
tried Baek s Kitchen? I recommend visiting Hong Kong Restaurant, one of his franchises. It s a great place to enjoy dinner with your family or friends. However, it might not be suitable for vegetarians.
Delicious and very well priced!
Tray jjajang sweet and sour pork is delicious!!!
The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive to their guests.
Great food, great service!

Good pork fries
Excellent food, and service
The black bean noodles are so yummy and they gave us complimentary peaches!
Yummy food
Best jjangmyeon I ve had in my life.
Good service, good food, 5 stars! Highly recommend.
Kind of disappointing tbh. Learned about this restaurant after watching Culinary class wars so I had high expectations. The Champong I had was very average and unremarkable. The pork was ok. I dont see what the hype is about. I recommend anyone interested in Korean cuisine to try Poong Moon instead, you wont be disappointed!
Got some take out, the restaurant seemed clean and nice to eat at. Servers were friendly when I got there early to wait for the pick up. For the hype I dont think the food was that good but it was decent and worth trying at least once.
Its the most delicious yulingi Ive had in Canada^^
Black bean Noodles texture is good and well mixed with the sauce, chewy and yummy.
First time visited this place, amazed by the food and the experience I have. Will come back again!
so good!!
I ordered black bean noodles and the tangsuyuk but I did not receive the sauce for the tangsuyuk and 2 of the jajang sauce but I was disappointed because I waited 1 hour for the food and did not receive what I had ordered and lost my appetite so it was all a waste.
Fried chicken is good
Absolutely delicious food! Definitely will be coming back as prices are good and food is delicious with large servings!
Super delicious food and kind service
This is a place I always come to. It s friendly and delicious! May you prosper
Love their foods!
Delivery is delicious, but its even better if you eat it yourself.
The taste was exactly what I expected. In particular, the staff were so friendly that I felt very happy while eating.
all the staffs are so kind and all the food are really delicious.
It is extremely good
Amazingly good! Defiantly will visit again!
good taste
Very delicious food made fresh and service was super nice I would definitely revisit again
This noodle house has a real welcoming vibe, the staff are friendly and attentive and the compact menu has something for everyone.
I am very satisfied with the taste
Great Korean Chinese cuisine
Great food and for a good price. Home cooking vibes.
The jajang-myeon and yuringi were super delicious and the service was so friendly!
Jjambbong is so good and their staffs are so friendly
Staff is very friendly and the food is delicious!
I always stop by Tonto, but it seems like a good place to grab a quick meal. The service is friendly and its everyday food thats easy to eat.
it is delicious!!!
Its so delicious! The sweet and sour pork is delicious and the jjamppong is also delicious!
Really good food and very good staff!

Great service and food!!
My favourite Chinese Korean in Toronto. Glad it s made its way from Korea! Super crispy chicken. Always consistent
The service is excellent! I love the chewiness of the noodles. A must try place!!
Food was delicious!
good for its price, great for takeout too
Really good Jjajang and jjampong
Portions are so big and reasonably priced! I love coming here for authentic Korean Chinese food. Great for big groups too!
Delicious!
Amazing place for hot noodle
Great food and family friendly!
This is hands down the best Korean-style Chinese food in Toronto! The flavors are exceptional, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. The black bean noodles (Jjajangmyeon) are perfectly savory, and the Tangsooyook (sweet and sour pork) is crispy, tender, and absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend giving this place a try you won t be disappointed!
The Black Bean rice is very good! 10 out of 10, will come again!
The food was delicious and the workers here was very kind. Thanks
The food is delicious
Good korean chinese food and not expensive~
We ordered online from Uber Eats around 11:45 AM, but the wait was frustratingly long. The packaging was okay and clean, but it took nearly two hours to receive our food an hour just for preparation! The food was pretty basic and unexciting. Updated:
We know this place before the Netflix show it s getting more busy now. Spicy soup is our favourite! Staff is nice too! Food : 5/5
Amazing sweet and sour pork!
Great food and services, definitely recommended!
Went there for sunday lunch. We could go in before 11:30 and had no issue getting a table. Liked the screen to order food. Chili prawns were good but too spicy for kids. Black bean noodles were good. Malo tofu had too much black pepper, was overpowering the dish. Prices are very very reasonable, ended up $55 for 3 mains. Was debating how to rate. Price is good, food is good but not mind blowing. Also would have liked seafood pancake and other Koreans best sellers. So 4/5. Kid-friendliness: Have high chairs
Always good.
Really good food, good service love the experience!
Wonderful food with a nice vibe
Food is delicious at an affordable price! Definitely will recommend to friends
Food and service was great and affordable!!
Very tasty and affordable price
The noodles are very good and the portions are very big, it is certainly a good deal for the price!! The service is great as well!!
Sweet and sour pork was my favourite!!! Affordable and so delicious. Definitely recommend

tangsu yuk is good
The tansuyuk was really crispy and yummy.
Came here because of Culinary Class Wars, really great experience! Food serving and service is the best! Definitely coming back!
It was so delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the staff were so friendly!! The sweet and sour pork was chewy and crunchy and there was a lot of it!! I recommend it
Fast customer service. Was seated & less than 5mins of ordering my friend & I got our food. They also play korean music which really adds to the atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Amazing customer service! My friend & I sat and was greeted with a smile. Our server had festive headbands that was very cheerful to see. The food delivered!! They ate!! Honestly recommend this place for some solid Korean food! The portion size is also pretty decent! The black bean sauce with rice is a must for rice lovers & the Jjamppong soup for seafood lovers.
Fist of all its very delicious and service is very nice and portion is so big.
All the food are really good! had 3 different meals, jjajangmyeon is really good! The mapa tofu with rice is one of the best ones i ve ever had!! Really really good Tansuyuk! Good atmosphere nice staffs and good relaxing background songs
Came here to try out this chef s food after watching culinary class wars - can t say I m blown away. The food was decent, with good portion sizes and they were not stingy on proteins. I found the menu selection to be on the small side. The servers were all very polite and attentive. The space was big and clean. I d come back again if i was in the area!
Outstanding! Such fast service, and amazing quality. So blown away by the Black Bean Noodles that I ordered more to take home. Thanks so much! Fantastic meal. Came back twice in one week.
Restaurant is very clean, service was great and the food came so fast! Food was all delicious
This is my goto place for jjamppong and yuringi. The best in the city. The chicken is super juicy and crispy at the same time. The noodles are fresh and bouncy. 10/10 recommend.
Good food

The sweet and sour pork is absolutely delicious, and as for the classics like black bean noodles (jjajangmyeon) and spicy seafood noodle soup (jjampong), they need no explanation they re amazing! Definitely give this place a try!
I always come here for Korean-Chinese dining. Food is delicious and staff are very nice.
My favourite Korean restaurant!! The food is amazing we came twice a week!!!
Best Korean noodle dishes! So happy that Paik Jon Wons chains are starting to make their way over.
Very busy when we came. Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff
Very yummy! People are kind and polite! Good vibe !!! I like the food very much !!!
Great customer service, wait time was quick and menu design is appealing.
Ive eaten Korean food all my life growing up. This is the first time I had a 2 inches depth worth of water in my gochu jajang. I asked the server and he gave me a reason that their is a scientific explanation behind it having so much water. I couldnt see the water till I was half way through my meal. The food was pretty normal for a Korean meal and very overhyped. Youre better off going to a Galleria for a cheaper and better meal. Very disappointed and dont believe the hype! See my picture for proof!
Delicious food with big portions!
Quick and understanding service :). Even with a busy atmosphere they take their time to tend to every customer and provide beepers for when all the seats are taken! Would run it back
Hands down!!! The best Korean cuisine we ve ever had.. Definitely coming back for more
Big portions and the food tastes so good. Would like to visit again and recommend it to my friends.
Was really curious about this restaurant after watching the culinary class war on netflix! (The judge is the owner of this resto chain) and i must say, the food didnt disappoint! Portion is big, reasonably priced and most importantly, very delicious! Had a long queue but we were quickly seated. Within 20mins i think. Will def come back!!
The food are good. They are tasty and yummy. The staffs are helpful. And it doesn t take a long time to queue. Parking: Outside the restaurant
The flower bread taste fantastic; noodles are with just enough seasoning. Everything is hot when served, size are huge Food : 5/5
Food was very good. Excellent service
The service is good and food comes out so quick. Everything is so hot and fresh. Will definitely be coming back to try more!
I ordered their famous jjamppong, black bean noodles and tangsuyuk. Everything tastes so good and price is very reasonable. Love the service as well everyone seems so nice and food comes out very fast. Love it here!
After watching the show had some high expectations. Totally met them. The Jjamppong was FANTASTIC!
Atmosphere and service were ok, but the food was awful. I also believe I received food poisoning here, as a while after I finished eating I began feeling nauseous. Ended up throwing up the meal I had.
I never leave 1 star reviews but I guess this changes today. After eating here, I felt extremely sick and started vomiting. I was excited to try out this restaurant because of the Netflix show but now I am left with food poisoning and disappointment. By the way, the restaurant gives you free food if you give them 5 stars. Take the rating with a grain of salt.
Amazing service
The food is amazing!
Always good food here! The best Korean Chinese cuisine in Toronto. Also really nice staffs :)
The store is clean and the food is delicious!
Foods are amazing
Had an amazing dining experience here!!The flavors were really good.We got free food and the portion is really big!!! The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend it
Best black bean noodles in Toronto!!
Wonderful welcome! The Korean Chinese cuisine is delicious, and the photos of Paik in front of the restaurant are so adorable!
Have returned. Highly Recommended. After cooking class wars - I can confirm this guy knows how to make things taste good. Classic Korean Chinese fare, ample seating and parking. Extremely good value for money. Tangsuyuk - acquired taste imo. Ive never really had a good one. Usually the batter is too thick and chewy, sauce is tangy but just full of cornstarch. This one is a lot more refined. Decent protein. Thin but still chewy batter. Loads of sauce. Worth trying. Jajangmyeon - absolutely great. Sauce is full of onion, cabbage and mince meat. One of the best renditions and consistently high quality. Great value. Doesnt take AMEX.
Beautiful place with delicious and fresh foods. Friendly.
The noodles are sooooo good. Staff are attentive and friendly. Large open space. Food : 5/5
The value for money is really crazy!
Delicious food, came at around 7:30 and was served the food pretty quickly after ordering. We ordered the fried pork and the jajangmyeon which I highly reccomend!
Amazing food and very friendly staff!
Such a great cozy place at north York. Great service and food!
Great fresh ingredients
The noodles are perfect and the ordering system is convenient
Authentic home-style Korean food! Definitely came here for the culinary wars but coming back for the food and the huge portion. Food
It s so delicious that I m a regular who comes here twice a week. The sweet and sour pork is especially amazing! Haha. Long live Baek Jong-won!
yum!
Amazing food
Everything smelled and tasted amazing, very reasonable price
Great customer service we were quickly seated. Food was served hot and tasted delicious and authentic.
Everything we had was excellent! The Jjambbong is the star of the show, noodles that seem handmade has the proper give, lots of mussels, squid bits in there, and flavourful broth; but even their simple beef fried rice was good. Their fried dumplings were fried just right accompanied with the proper soybased sauce with garlic bits. They can even make raw onions a good appetizer so thats saying something. Modern and clean dining area with electronic table ordering removes the need for paper menus. Primarily an OG Korean crowd so you know its good and authentic. Good friendly service. Fair pricing relative to portion size. Will be back!
Food is delicious
The food is very delicious and the taste is sufficient
thank you mr paik
Friendly, fast, and great food. We will come again.
I like the seafood noodles.
Good noodle place
I love the fast ordering system and servers are very friendly. Best jjajangmyun in the area! This is my go to place for Korean Chinese cuisine.
Their jjajangmyun is my favorite. Its fresh and not salty like other places. Their tang suyuk is chewy and juicy without being hard to chew. I will always come back here
Cream shrimp is really delicious! You can also order half and half with chili shrimp, and even my five year old enjoyed it!! The pepper jjajang was spicy and delicious~~
Delicious food! Servers are polite
Great customer service. Clean environment. Delicious food. Its so fresh and the quantity is enough
Great food and service. Highly recommend this spot for black bean noodles.
The food is really delicious and the service is friendly. This is the place I come to whenever I want to eat black bean noodles!
try spicy Jgaiponng, black bean noodle with spicy (important to have the spicy version) and sweet and sour pork are all amazing delicious. I traveled from dt to here and its really worthy. The fried rice is blend though. If i can retake the order, I will probably try the tofu rice
Love the self order setup !
Delicious noodles!
Service was efficient. Servers were super friendly too. When you place your order, you place it through the tablet installed to your table. The seating is spacious, so you will not overhear conversations from your neighbouring tables. It it a popular spot with a steady stream of customers, but don t worry. While you may have to wait for a seat, the turnover rate is quick. The food portions are generous. We have visited this restaurant twice already. On our visit today, we ordered a stir-fried spicy pork and seafood noodle (Bokkeum Jjamppong), a spicy pork and seafood noodle soup (Jjamppong), a black beans sauce dry noodle (Jajang), a deep-fried sweet and sour pork (Tangsuyuk), and a deep-fried chicken with spicy soy sauce (Gochu Yuringi). Everything was not only delicious but also served in large portions. Each dish is enough to be spliced into two meals. The quality of both the food and service has remained consistently excellent over the years. Truly top-notch. There is nothing more that you can ask for.
I went here before it was on Netflix, always great food
