Issue with the food. Image is the imitation crab filling from a bento box's Californian roll. The plastic wrapper was still on the crab inside the roll. Human mistake happens, but is one time too many to leave plastic in a sushi roll? Restaurant offers a remade of the roll after I already ate one of the bad pieces, unknown what I are :(. Three of eight pieces were bad when plastic was founded consuming the 3rd piece, so simple math put 4/8 pieces had plastic, 50%. Three remains therefore one was eaten. After remake was rejected, restaurant offered a $5 discount when compared to the special avocado roll we ordered costs $8. They do not have an Avocado roll on the menu, it was a California roll with no crab and cucumber I ordered for my daughter. We ended up settling at no charge for the Bento box at $25. Fair?

Got take out, chicken katsu and kimchi fried rice for take out, ended up being 46$ which is not worth it. Kimchi fried rice was tasteless, only had spice and that’s it. Honestly was really disappointing and it was my second time back. Ladies were nice but with this price and quality, I won’t return.

I have no idea how they got so many good reviews. Food was unbelievably terrible. They managed to mess up every single dishes. Bibimbap was bland. They used raw purple cabbage, cucumber, bean sprouts and "sadly almost impossible to spot" beef. Where was the seasoned mushroom? Spinach? Rice was over-cooked, feels like it's been sitting in the rice cooker since this morning. Paid extra $4.5 to upgrade to a combo. They didn't come out until we finished our meal. Kimchi pancakes was extremely mushy. Shrimp tempura was super greasy and we could not identify the batter they used (corn flakes?!). Check the photos. We were only given 3 tiny banchan (appetizers). We finished Kimchi before our food arrived. The server wasn't impressive, he told us we should've waited for our food. We supposed to eat Kimchi with rice! Just because we aren't Korean, doesn't mean we don't know Korean food. Top rated the worst Korean restaurant on my list.

I just happened to be in the area and got hungry so just googled restaurants nearby. Parking available at the back. 11:45am on Monday and no one else in the restaurant but parking in the back was almost full. Wonder what's going on with that. Anyhow, ordered the special of the day, Mom's Bibimbap and it was good! Two Korean ladies in the kitchen and one of them served me. The server was Korean and had only limited English but somehow I felt that added to authenticity of the food being served. Lol Service was good as I was the only one. Bathroom was clean. I didn't try anything on the menu so my experience is limited but the lunch I had was good as Korean town restaurants in Toronto. Would recommend. :)

Came to this place on short notice and we are glad we did :) The restaurant is quite small, but clean. Washrooms were clean and had an updated look. Service was fast and the waitress was very friendly. Got some classic Korean dishes and they were all on point! Would definitely recommend.

First time coming here and wanted to really like the place. Ordered the Katsu Don Buri and it was good, but not worth $17 and change with tax and tips. There are many better options nearby for that price. 2.5 stars.

December 22, 2021

The shrimp tempura I received was clearly frozen cooked in an oven. It did not have the flakey batter you get fresh and was clearly a flat side that it cooked or froze on. The grilled chicken rice entree was far from grilled, didn t see a single grill mark. The grilled chicken was also drowning in a watery sauce, it was basically soup, tasted boiled or microwaved. Bulgogi was pretty good, fair portion and tasty.

We are super impressed with this place! The food was really good. Although I wouldnt call it one of the best Korean, it is definitely Good Korean food. The portion was generous and the chicken was super crispy and tender. We ordered the Teriyaki Bento box and Katsu Bento box for take out. Everything was packaged neatly. I would give them 11/10 for customer service. Their debit machine stopped working when we went to pay, so instead if not going through with the transaction or making us wait, they simply handed us the food , apologizd and asked us to come back and pay for it later. That s above and beyond! 10/10 recommend for food as well.

WARNING! JUST DONT! Dont say I didnt tell you so I ordered Beef Udon, and it had two pieces of beef from frozen box, half serving of package udon from Super Store, very blend msg soup and a pinch of sprout all for $14 Clap Clap. My wife had pork bone soup. Small portion meat and again blend soup. We went there based on their reviews which is totally misleading. Sadly.

December 22, 2019

It was a terrible experience and I would never suggest anyone to go to this restaurant. I am not sure about the legidimacy of all the other reviews here. The pork bone soup I ordered is probably worse than any Korean mom s home cook meal. The restaurant is in an old building, which smells very moldy, although they try to keep it clean but the strong smell is still there. The price is not reasonable comparing to the quality food that they are serving. If you would like to have Korean food/Japanese food, there are many better restaurants around the area, don t make the same mistake as I did to TRY this restaurant. The owner of this restaurant is not opening this restaurant to serve good food.

Was not a good place or a good experience. Food was oily, unseasoned to the point of bland. Server didn t care about actually providing service. He should ve just taken a nap in the back and I could ve just served myself. Not sure how all these other reviews are so positive; unless A) something s changed in the kitchen or B) they were giving discounts for reviews.

Found this place online with high ratings, suggested it to my friends, and the 3 of us decided to try it out for dinner. The server was nice, but barely spoke nor understood English. There were maybe 2 other tables occupied at the time. We waited for tea refills for over 10mins. When server came by to finally take the pot she never returned and had to be reminded we were still waiting for tea. After placing our orders, it took over 45mins to come out (with only 1 table of 3 that ordered before us). That table ended up asking for their order to go. During our wait we observed multiple take out orders come and go. Appears they put priority on take out orders which is NOT acceptable. Finally when my order came out (Hot Udon Seafood Soup) was nice and steaming hot. But very disappointed with the dish itself. It had maybe 5 little shrimp (appears to be from the frozen cocktail ring) and 2 little pieces of mussle, with 5 pieces of zuchinni (when description indicated mixed vegetables). Overall very poor dining experience, and food quality. Would not reccommend and will not be returning.

I was in the area for the first time today and decided to give this place a try for lunch. The lady who served us was very polite and the restaurant atmosphere was homey - I loved the cute black and white photos on the wall. I had the chicken dup bap lunch special which was $10 and tasted decent. The menu was pretty standard for a Korean/Japanese fusion restaurant, with most items ranging from $10-$20. There werent a lot of people dining in around 1 PM but I definitely noticed a lot of people ordering takeout! I might come back if Im in the area again.

Friendly service. Pork bone soup was nothing special and there was too much bone and very little meat, the potato tasted freezer burnt. The rice was plain and dry. There was 3 side dishes with this which were boring and blah. I would not recommend this restaurant for pork bone soup. I ve had this dish at other restaurants and it was much much better.

Tea is good. Everything is fresh. My sushi was fresh fresh fresh. I got sushi with moms bip and bap. The kimchi that came with the food is... Amazing. I have a particular taste when it comes to kimchi. They make a real nice one. Overall loved the place and the food. A bit priced, but then again everything in Richmond Hill is pricey.

Small mom and pop restaurant that resembles a food court. Service was good. Street parking and parking at the back. Food was ok but here what could be improved: -side dishes were cold and not very tasty . Room temperature would have been better. -pork bone soup was watery and could be more flavourful. Meat was not tender and no potatoes. -portions were small for the price. -miso soup was not very flavorful.
