A very delicious lunch bento box packed with a variety of side dishes. I ordered the kalbi and portion was generous for the price. The owner perfected the flavoring and seasoning of the dishes. Expect some wait time as the owner works alone and has a lot to prepare. Looking forward to coming back.

Went this place after watching a reel. Food was really good. It’s mainly a take out place but the owner helped us to dine in.

The owner single handed runs this place & she’s amazing. The food here is amazing. You have to try it. It’s not a dine in place, mostly only take out.

We came here on September 21, 2024 based on a Facebook short. This is primarily a pick up location but she made space for us to sit. We got Combo 2 for two people. Bimbimba, minced pork black bean udon and sweet spicy fried chicken. It comes with a big plate of Pick-3 side items. We really like the sweet glass noodle and shredded potato. Very good food. One thing I like in our Bibimba (spelling ?) is 5 types of veggie. Cabbage, carrots, kimchi, cucumber and green bean. She said her Specialty is the Rice Bowl. It comes with her special sauce and dumplings. We will get that next time ! Give this place a try if you are looking for authentic Korean food.

Fantastic little place offering huge flavours. Mainly for take out. Order ahead as this is a one-woman show and sometimes she gets super busy. My go-to for yummy Korean food in north Scarborough.

First, don’t come right at opening or you may not get what you want. The owner is likely still prepping. Second, her tone may come off rude, but she is very friendly and charming once you get her talking. This is basically Korean style home cooking. I mean that in the best way. The portions are generous and you get good value. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious. The banchan is top notch.

We love Korean Food and have tried many places and this cozy restaurant is our absolute go-to. Please note the flavour here is very strong and intense so if you're into it, it's impossible for you to resist the temptation. Our usual orders include the Rice Bowl Special Short Rib and the Rice Cake. The Rice Cake is a perfect balance of softness and chewiness, enhanced by the spicy sauce and fish cakes. Similarly, the Rice Bowl Special steals the show with its combination of bean rice, authentic Korean short rib, daily-changing homemade side dishes, and the owner's sauces, creating a harmonious and flavourful experience. This restaurant is run by only one lady, who manages everything from taking orders to cooking and cleaning, please be understanding and patient. With unbeatable prices, top-quality meals, and the owner's dedication to great service, this place is truly a hidden treasure. Best tip we can give you is call ahead at least 20 minutes before arriving for a timely, delightful meal. Highly recommended :)

Ordered via Doordash so I cant speak on the atmosphere or service, but the food was fantastic. The gamjatang was delicious and had huge portions of meat. The bean paste soup was not as much of a hit, but my sister enjoyed it. The banchan was a highlight for sure! Packed to the top and all so delicious. Unfortunately pretty much half the soup had spilled from the container on its way to my house (again, via Doordash), but I would think that for a takeout place, they would put a bit more effort into securing food that tends to spill. Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely order again (in person next time).

The place is not to eat there, only to take away, the portions are quite good and delicious.. as a Latino I love the spicy and the spicy pork belly dish is really spicy! Super recommended, just like the bibimbap is very good, although I think it lacks a little meat, but I still recommend it at 100 I will definitely come back!

I visited this place and was disappointed to see that none of the staff were using gloves, masks, or hair covers while handling food. Additionally, one of the staff members was coughing from the smoke while serving and packing orders. Due to these hygiene issues, I decided to leave without taking my order

Food is homemade. The cook and owner is a one-woman show. She is focused on preparing a delicious meal for you and does a good job. There are a few stools and counter space but it is essentially a take-out joint. The banchan is very good and changes often. The myeolchi bokkeum (crunchy stir fried anchovies with nuts was to-die-for. Suggest calling in your order to avoid waiting in the shop as it is quite small. Reasonable prices and large portions. Cash or debit only.

December 23, 2023

When I am nearby, I always make an effort to eat here and probably one of my favorite Pork Bone soup in town (and I am honestly surprised by the price and the amount of meat they give). Lovely owner who used to run the store with her father and you could tell she pours her heart out to continue the operations without him by herself. If you like a laidback home-made style authentic Korean food(do not expect fancy seating), this is the spot and I think I will truly miss it if it ever close one day.

Great food and service

December 23, 2023

The lady is always stressed out about prepping the food and gets impatient and agitated by anyone coming in. How about coming in early enough before opening so you can do that instead of transferring that stress to your customers? I really want to like this place and Ive been multiple times, but its not worth it for the mistreatment. The first time I went, she yelled at my father just for watching her cook and told him to sit down. He wasnt trying to bother her and he wasnt trying to talk to her. My father worked in the restaurant business in the past and he understood the pressure shes feeling. We are just there waiting for the food and we had no issue waiting as long as its going to take. Yet she assumed since we wanted to look around that we are as annoyed as she is. And dont blame your customers coming in as a distraction. I saw how she treated other people too, it was the same level of disrespect. If my family wants to eat here then I prefer to order it on Ubereats and let the delivery drivers deal with her attitude. I like the concept of the lunch boxes and she puts a lot of care into it but if its at the expense of being rude to customers, its not worth it. Its overly charred and salty anyways compared to other places. I know this place isnt new and thats how youre used to doing things, but have some god damn compassion for people and understand youre the one putting pressure on yourself. Most people will wait and not have an issue with it. Its a blessing to have more customers than you can keep up with, and if people are willing to wait then they are willing to wait. You dont need to be so impatient at people trying to support your business.

A single lady ran the store for us, gave us extra food and even gave great recommendations. I cant recommend her hospitality enough. She is amazing.

It is very rare that a child will carry the tradition of their father as they take over a family business. She and her father were welcome site for covid and served excellent food, combined with excellent fellowship and banter as they would get the food ready. Sadly her dad passed a couple of years ago but the inherited proprietor of this place has created the most perfect pork bone soup that I have ever tasted. Make the drive and tell her big white Cam sent you. She comes across serious but has a great sense of humour and put a lot of love into her food

I got the spicy chewy noodle, was not disappointed. You get a gigantic portion for what youre paying, as well as 3 extra side dishes. Pork bone soup is also really good and fairly spicy, which is perfect. Prices are very fair. As it is family run, the food may take a little longer for preparation so its good to call ahead and come pick it up later. But if youre waiting there and watching them cook, you can see that the family puts a lot of heart into their dishes. Even if theyre super busy, they dont seem to rush through orders, so quality is always on par. This isnt a sit down place, though. Very cramped, even standing there waiting for your order you would be in someones way.

Never before had I tasted one bite of food and threw it away. I was quite shocked because of how great the reviews were about this restaurant. I ordered the Jajang udon and the udon was borderline mush. There wasn t enough sauce to coat the noodles and it just tasted like water. It left such a bad taste in my mouth that I would not want to try this place again despite such positive reviews. At least the kimchi and side dishes tasted fresh but it won t take away my one star review due to me not even eating one bite. I went to galleria and ordered their jajangmyeon there and left feeling very satisfied and full.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

Delicious food, generous portions! Small place for takeout mostly, but there are a couple stools. Picked up a few short rib meals and they came with dumplings, a little salad, potatoes, lots of rice and noodles. For me was enough for two full meals. Would have loved more meat but it was tasty. Next time I will have to try the bimibap.

Cute little Korean spot on the corner of Steeles and Midland Avenue. There are parking spaces available, but weekends can be tricky. The inside is small, with a counter against the windows where 2/3 people might squeeze in. It s more of a takeout place. We ordered the Special Combo for two ($24.95): a bowl of Gamjatang (pork bone soup), rice, and a serving of Japchae. We also ordered the Special Rice Cakes ($9.95). The soup came out boiling hot and was very meaty. The broth was quite oily, so we didn t sip it. The Japchae was perfectly cooked, not too salty, and is one of our favorite dishes.

This phenomenal place is now on uber eats!! We came at a busy time, and Sung Au, the owner, was the only one there working on family day. She runs the restaurant herself and is super dedicated and talented. I ordered the short rib rice bowl special, and it was amazing! I highly recommend it. The only regret I have is not taking a photo of my meal before I dove in. It looked so delicious and irresistible. May God bless her and her restaurant! Also, if youre looking for a fast and tasty meal during the weekdays, this is it. This place is packed during the weekends but the weekdays arent busy.

I wish her all the best and I hope she continues to make hearty korean food. Much love and respect!

Finding good food is like falling in love; you get hit when you least expect it. This was my experience at this place. I was super hungry off my flight, and it happened to be walking distance from the Airbnb. I was blown away by the food. All I had was the beef rice bowl but it came with a smorgasbord of other tasty sides. The beef alone was worth writing this review, but the whole ensemble stole my heart. Easily a top 10 meal of my life. If you re in the area how do you not eat here? If I lived in Toronto or within an hour drive of this place I d probably go at least twice a month if not once a week. I m probably gonna go back tomorrow.

The pork bone soup here was generous but bland. Just tasted like pork soup. Could not taste any other flavours. The beef with rice was not what I expected (it was a slightly spicy thick cut beef stir fry, while I wrongly assumed it would be bulgogi). It was still tasty, but not something I would crave. The side dish options are very good though. You get to pick your own from a large selection.

Good portions and fast service. A lot of their dishes are spicier than their equivalent at most other Korean places I ve been to so if you can t really take spice, this place may not be the best place for you. If you like Korean food and can take the heat, you definitely need to give this place a try. It s a really small shop with tight seating for only 1 or 2 if I remember correctly, so get take out!

I have been going to this restaurant for years and I keep coming back for the fresh Korean food. The spicy items do have a kick but if you love spicy, you will love them. The store is usually run by the owner alone unless its during peak hours so she may seem a little busy but she is a very kind person who cares about her customers. The value of her items is great with plenty of options that will always fill you up on a budget. My go-to recommendations are the Pork Bone Soup and Spicy Pork on rice. If you want a place that has tasty, authentic Korean food then you should give this place a try! Dietary restrictions: I never had requests for dietary restrictions but the owner is very nice and will recommend you options if you had dietary restrictions or even tweak the item itself to fit what you want. Parking: There is plenty of parking spots nearby (Tim Hortons nearby, another plaza and the plaza itself is not that busy) so you will be able to park around at any time

Really nice chill lady who owns this small shop. Very local and authentic. The food smells amazing. I didnt preorder my food and she was clearly busy with a ton of other orders but she prioritized my order. Side dishes included. Comfort food. Very tasty :)

Chicken lunch box and short-rib rice bowl are my boyfriend and I s go-to meals here. Generous size, lots of side dishes and super savoury! The portions are so big that each dish can be split into two portions. Not to mention the prices are unbeatable. Very sweet and hardworking owner and we re such regulars that she always recognizes our voices on the phones haha. Will continue to support this small business and highly recommend if you re looking for a hearty Korean meal! Tip - just make sure you call at least 30-40mins early for takeout as rush hour can be super busy!

Ive been here a couple of times and had a great experience. The portion size is big and the chap chae is super yummy. The only dish I dont recommend as Ive ordered it twice and had the same result... the Kalbi. It was tough and chewy. Everything else on that menu is delicious :)

This place has great lunch box options at a good price. The lunches come in a big square box thats packed with assorted banchan. Not too much of the protein but I prefer the variety. The bulgogi was nicely marinated and made to order. The banchan is freshly made and tasted great. Came with a side of soup which was gamjatang which did have little pieces of bones. The owner is very nice and funny, not to mention a real tough and hardworker. Im looking forward to coming back.

Food is great but service needs improvement especially the take out order system. You just cant give away someone elses order when we clearly called for a pick up. Maybe get their names or phone number or something. I wouldnt recommend ordering from the phone might as well come to the store cause theyre gonna end up giving away your order to someone else.

When I went in, both the employees were not wear mask and were handling food. That was not the worst part, I paid for my food, and after her handling my credit card and touching the Credit card machine and POS cashier, she went straight back to touching the food. When I say touching the food, she used her bare hands to grab the veggies into the container! At this point, I was just disgusted but didn t make a scene. Went home, had two bites and ended up throwing away the food. Hate to leave bad reviews but this is just dangerous especially during Covid.

I think I found my korean food nook. The lady who cooks is very helpful and it actually doesnt feel like you are at a restaurant but rather gives a hone vibe. The lady cooks all the food right infront of you and the food is delicious. I had tofu soup and rice bowl and me and my husband ate it for both lunch and dinner. Honestly I will go there everytime I feel like eating comfort food

Me and my family often come here for authentic Korean food. The combos here are great to share and the service is really nice! The workers forgot to include rice from our combo and side dishes - we asked them about it and they kindly apologized and gave us what was missing. We ordered Combo #1 and #2. I really like the bibimbap - well portioned tasted great! One thing to note is the black bean udon noodles was missing a little flavour compared to what I m used to.

I ve ordered from here many times and my meals have always been nicely prepared and the volume is consistent. My favourite are the lunch boxes as you get a variety of sides, and you get so much for what you pay for ($11.95 plus tax). Do call ahead as it does get busy during lunch hour and could take 20-25mins from when you call in.

Best pork bone soup in the east end

December 23, 2021

Not worthy! I ordered a short ribs on rice. The owner let me choose three sides, but everything comes with just A LITTLE BIT!!! Two pieces of rotus root?! Ridiculous!! Its more expensive than a rice bowl, but comes with much less than that!!! Not coming back!!!

Bad attitude for first time customer. I couldn t hear what the server said and she yelled at me with condescending attitude. Response to owner s response: Ok, first you asked me to pick 3 items from the side, I didn t hear you, then you yelled at me or at least raised your voice in a agitated pitch telling me to pick 3 items from the side. Then, you told me I could also pick one of the rice dessert, I didn t know what it was, so I asked what it is, then you let out a condescending, deliberate long sign, and then told me its name. This is only my first visit here, and I m a very polite person. I m not sure where your bad attitude comes from other than that I m not Korean (Chinese), I mean, your business is located in markham/ Scarborough area, where 40% of the population is Chinese. If you think 100% Korean is better than everyone else then why open the business here? I m not saying your food is bad, it s just that your way of dealing with customers that you don t like 100% ruins the experience.

If you are reading this review and need to know if you should come here, DO IT! I chose to come here yesterday since nothing was open and my options were limited. Boy was I happy I did. The restaurant is a very small cute place with incredible food. The lady at the front (presumably the owner) was so kind and friendly. The food was fairly priced especially for the great portion size. Not too big, not too small. The food was delicious! I had the lunch special with beef and everything from the meat to the sides to the soup was extremely tasty. I just wish it was closer so I can go more often. The food was very authentic and I can tell was made my a chef who wants her customers to enjoy and be happy to come back. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you for such a great meal.

Tugged away in a strip plaza is this Gem of a Fresh Family cooked meal joint. Been passing this place umpteem times untill somehow I stumbled in today. Pretty pleased with the beautifully put together Korean fares and best of all, easy on the wallet. Sung Au, the very friendly owner herself cooks up the magic feast. Punctuated with great conversations. She takes interest of knowing her diners and most of all, try her best to explain and introduce the foods. Definitely, a recommended place to hit and pleased your Korean taste buds.

100 Percent Korean has made their mark in the local Toronto/Markham food scene with their take on comfort Korean favourites at reasonable prices. I recently made a visit as it has been months since I had Korean food since the pandemic began. Although a few fellow Yelpers have complained about the rudeness of the owners, I had quite the friendly and warm conversation with the owner as she prepared my lunch box with galbi ribs, banchan (side dishes), gyoza and gamjatang broth. The kalbi ribs were perfectly seasoned and cooked to go nicely alongside the serving of rice. The banchan adds a variety of textures and flavours to balance out the greasiness you get from eating kalbi ribs. The broth on the side is pretty good for a side soup. For only $10.95, its a great value for the portion and flavour you will get every time you visit 100% Korean. Especially during these times, be friendly and amicable with the owners and they will show it back! Dont forget to call ahead, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours!

Opened for takeout during quarantine. Little mom and pop shop in a plaza near Midland Avenue and Steeles Avenue. I usually get the Rice Bowl Special, pretty much a Korean Chipotle Bowl with your choice of meat, glass noodles, rice and Korean side dishes. They are super generous with the proportions !!

This is another great spot if you re looking to support locals and want authentic and delicious Korean dishes. This restaurant is only take out as they have closed off their dining area considering how small the restaurant is. The owner is very enthusiastic and friendly to all the customers I ve seen, and you can tell how busy they are as they constantly have orders coming in. Their menu offers a good selection of combos (where you definitely get a lot of food), classic dishes, plus you can even purchase just side dishes as well. We got their Gamjatang which was very flavourful, and had a nice kick to it, and their large Bibimbap. Mind you, the Bibimbap was actually really big, so I d recommend the small if you don t have a huge stomach. Both dishes were delicious (as we expect) and will come back again for more! IG: Ayenomz
