JungSooNe Bonga (Steeles JungSooNe) 스틸 정수네 in Thornhill

Visited Jeongsu s Steel Bonga Restaurant, and honestly, this place is a hidden gem for Korean food lovers! In Korea, we d call this a proper birthday feast everything on the table looked like it was made to celebrate. From crispy pajeon, tender galbi, and hearty galbitang to the perfectly seasoned soy-marinated crab and spicy marinated crab, every dish was packed with authentic flavors. If you re craving real Korean food, this is THE spot to run to! Living in Toronto feels like a dream when you find places like this. Is this even Toronto, or have I been teleported straight to Korea?

I ve been a returning customer of this Korean restaurant for over 7 years, but my recent visit was truly disappointing. I ordered the gamjatang hotpot, but it was tasteless and so tough that it was almost impossible to chew. To make matters worse, our server kept turning off the fire under our hot pot two or three times the first time, the meat hadn t even warmed up yet! The service was also lacking, with the server walking away mid-conversation each time we tried to say something. When we finally raised these concerns with the owner, their only response was, Oh, yea? and then they just walked away. It felt like they wanted us to hurry up and leave so they could seat other customers. Really disappointing experience, won t come back.

It seems the owner doesn t care at all. I ve visited this place many times, but when I mentioned to the owner that the food quality has declined, he didn t say a word and simply walked away. I took this as a clear message to shut up and leave. I regret all the money I ve spent here.

very very good

crabs are so tm delicious

Their famous dish is crab and they cant taste better. Fall is always the best time to enjoy seafood

Came here to have marinated raw crabs, the soy base sauce is very tasty, size of the crab is decent. I went on a work day at 4pm, so theres only a few tables, very quiet and plenty parking in the Plaza. Food

Very Bad service 2.10 as not helping us pushing the table as 8 people even no booking how ridiculous !!

Food quality has gone down, and the service is terrible! We have come here several times and made the mistake of bringing our family from overseas here. We had a table of 10 and ordered a good spread of food. The food arrived and the quality was noticeably bad. The waitress also refused to refill our water, and provided 4 little plates of side dishes for TEN people. We mentioned her bad attitude to the owner, and he didn t address nor apologize. He simply nodded his head and looked away. The marinated crab is not worth the hype We will definitely not be returning here anymore.

The sauce crab and seafood scallion pancakes are delicious, as are the sweet and sour pork and fried squid. The only drawback is that there are too few waiters

Very friendly owner!

An authentic Korean restaurant with yummy raw marinated crab, perfect seafood pancakes (lots of seafood, crispy, not too oily) and lots of other yummy dishes! We had the soon tofu, spicy pork, cold spicy noodles, and pork bone soup Attentive owners Would highly recommend

We came to this restaurant every Thursday for a while, the lady waiter was super nice to us. But today, the boy waiters keeping clean up the table when we were still talking, it s not busy at all, and still have another two tables have clients. We have to left 8:40pm, they closed at 9:30pm. Will not go again, so uncomfortable

Coming here again, very nice family-owned restaurant. The experience was so cozy.

My second time trying @jungsoonebonga s famous marinated raw crab! The crabs are even fresher and larger this time, with plenty of orange roe! Their Korean seafood pancake is also a must-order; it s crispy, savory, with so much seafood inside! I believe most of you have tried our product! Their soy sauce crab is probably the most famous in Toronto This time their soy sauce crabs are so fresh, sweet and juicy! Compared to the last time we had Zhongda, their soy sauce is relatively less sweet~ Another must-try must be the seafood pancakes. Not only are they crispy, they also have a lot of seafood and are filling! The pork bone and potato soup that I have eaten before is amazing, and the military hot pot is the best in this house Yelp Elite 2 Google lv 8 local guide Pm for collab

The Fermented soybean paste stew Doenjang-jjigae (Soybean paste stew) was good. The grilled mackerel Godeungeo gui (mackerel guar) was tasteless.

Came to try raw marinated crab for the first time. The soy sauce crab had a nice flavour, a good amount of roe and went great with the included white rice. I ordered the cheonggukjang which initially I thought was the same thing as a doenjang stew, it was very different but it was cool to be able to try this relatively rare dish. My friends enjoyed their soft tofu stew but regular spicy was more spicy than we expected. Service was a bit rushed, we never got our requested side dish refill and we were given the bill without asking. But understandable as it was busy when we went on a weekend evening with people waiting at the door.

Sauce crab tastes good

Great place for soy marinade crab.

Everything was delicious. The pancake and chicken were favourites! There always seems to be a line when we come, but definitely worth the wait. Service was good, but food was quite slow to come out.

It s okay. First time here. It s pretty decent.

The store has some weird policies you should be aware of. And the store owner personally imposed these to us. 1. Customers can stay in the store 2 hours max. 2. Customers should order their menus quickly after they arrive. We were asked to leave the store after 2 hours even when the store had empty seats. Considering that we ordered 3 menus with 2 people, it is hard to understand such practice. Also, they came to us and asked to order quickly three times when we were greeting each other. It is a shame I as a Korean came here with my foreigner friends.

Got the raw marinated crab, along with the spicy raw marinated crab, and the sweet and sour pork. It was so worth it! The sweet-and-sour pork comes with carrots and apples and cucumbers inside as well . It was a really tasty treat for the kids. Recommended Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the tang so yuk sweet-and-sour pork! And bibimbap is always a good dish for kids

Great place, fresh food.

The best Korean seafood pancake and spicy raw crab I have ever had!

Yummy yummy yummy for my tummy tummy tummy. Iykyk. Portions are just right. Has Blue crab, Bibimbap, Sam Gyup Sal and spicy kimchi ground beef with rice.

Unique and one of a kind restaurant serving delicious raw marinated crab. We tried the spicy and the soy crab and I liked the soy crab because of all the extra crab fat. It is so tasty to have the fat with the rice and soy sauce marinade. We also enjoyed seafood pancake. Banchans are good too. Overall a positive experience. Hopefully will return again soon.

Me and my friend went here after seeing it on instagram, We ordered 3 dishes and with tip it was around $80. They were extremely small portioned and not worth it for the price, I could have finished it alone and not feel full. Mediocre taste not the best I ve ever had. The crab was tiny and not worth $30. We didn t even get the head of the crab either our order. Don t believe everything you see on instagram.

I usually dont write reviews, but I really had to write about this place. Side dish? The seasoning is just right and its really delicious. I dont usually eat things like seasoned seaweed, but the rest of the side dishes were so delicious that I tried them and they were just as delicious, so I ate up the seasoned seaweed as well. The soy sauce crab sauce was just as good as it was said to be. It was full of meat inside and the taste was great. To be honest, I thought it would fill my stomach because it looked small, but it was enough to add a bowl of rice. I definitely recommend coming next time.

Came here to try out marinated raw crabs for the first time and was not disappointed! It went really with the rice and seafood pancake

Came here because of the recommendation from a friend and didnt disappointed at all. Im not a person into raw seafood but the crabs tasted great. The spicy one is very spicy so it covered the taste of the crab. Hence, I would recommend you to eat the non-spicy one first before trying out the spicy ones. Seafood tofu soup was not bad either. Their bbq beef was also very tasty. Besides, I saw many Korean customers eating at the restaurant so I bet this is an authentic place for them as well.

Came here to try the raw marinated crab - we found it to be a tad on the salty side and the crabs were very small (perhaps it s not in season?) Anyhow, I would say it s mid-range Korean restaurant. Nothing truly stood out for me. Ordered the sweet and spicy fried chicken but there was too much batter. The actual chicken pieces were enhanced by the batter to make it appear bigger. Kalbi had very little meat, fatty and bony at the same time. Would have loved better quality meats for the $$ that they are charging.

Wanted to dine in and try out this restaurant. We were hopeful to get a table because there were still a handful of empty tables but none of the waiters entertained us to go inside and have a seat. There was one waiter who saw us standing there for almost 10 mins and did not say anything or acknowledge us.

The place in the GTA to try raw marinated crab but I would 100% recommend the seafood pancake. Its filled with a ton of seafood, green onion and light on the batter.

Lovely staff, but the food (including the marinated crab) is extremely salty. The spicy crab is saltier than the soy marinated crab, and the side dishes were salty as well. The space is larger than the finch location which is nice.

Crab is really good

Love the crabs!

Came here on a Sunday evening right before 7pm and this place was super busy. There were several people ahead of us and we waited 10 mins for a table of 2. We ordered the raw soy marinated crabs and gamjatang. Crabs were super juicy and just delicious! The gamjatang came with so much meat on the bones, I was really impressed. I really liked the kimchi as Im a fan of fresh kimchi over aged. Highly recommend and would comeback. Note when we left at 8pm, there were still a lot of people waiting to be seated.

A great place for raw crab. The seasoning was tasty. Fry seafood pancake was delicious N crispy. I had grilled mackerel with tofu potato soup. Everything were great. Plenty parking available. Its a family own restaurant N good service . Good portion of food too. Love to go back soon.

Unfriendly service. After paying the bill and giving the tips, my friend and I were just drinking tea and chatting. There were only three tables open, no one waiting. But the staff kept trying to take away the teapot. After I stopped him twice, he FINALLY took it away at the third try. Both my friend and I were so disappointed and didn t know why he was so desperate to have us out. Again there was no one waiting and other tables were still eating.

I came to this restaurant twice so far. I highly recommend both flavors of the marinated crabs. The spicy one is quite spicy, but its very delicious if you have a high spice tolerance. Make sure you ask for gloves because it can get quite messy. Another two stand out dishes are the seafood pancake (gives you lots of seafood and very crispy) and the seafood hot pot (also another good choice if you have a high spicy tolerance and good to share with another person). However, this place is understaffed most of the time, so getting things like napkins or waiting to get yourself a table will take slightly longer than other places. For reference, I normally wait 15-20 minutes whenever I go.

Seafood pancake was good, but the marinated crab was SO BAD, sour & fishy

Perfect raw marinated crabs in Toronto! Raw marinated crabs is an absolute delight (ò_ó ) No fear of being too fishy or salty perfectly seasoned! Rich in crab roe, pairing it with rice is an exquisite experience. Just eating it as is, perfection! I recommend savoring the rice on the side under the crab shell. It feels like a trip to Korea and you get two crabs in one serving, truly value for money! Highly recommended!

I saw this restaurant on Instagram and was excited to try a new place but was very disappointed with my experience. They didnt have galbi so we ordered donga-su. They took the order and came back saying they didnt have donga-su either. We asked for extra side dishes since there were six of us but we were told only one set of side dishes per table and they will refill. Other restaurants give us extra side dishes or just ask which ones we would like more. The food was mediocre as well..bulgogi was all clumped together and everything was on the saltier side. Having a lot of better Korean food options in this area, my family and I wont be returning to this one any time soon.

Great spot for authentic Korean food. Expect a queue as they are quite popular and seating is limited. The raw crab is definitely a highlight here; I would recommend at least ordering one serving of that to experience. The crab roe is extremely tasty, although it can be a little bit of a chore to break through some spiky parts of the shell. The seafood pancake is the best Korean version of the dish Ive had. Great texture and very pronounced toppings. The pork bone soup is extremely rich, savoury and spicy! The pork itself is fall off the bone delicious. The seating is very spacious with plenty of room to move around. The servers are attentive and very quick to address any concerns you may have. Very satisfied with the experience overall!

It would be your big loss without trying their raw crabs.

Really like their raw crabs here, flavourful and fresh! Also ordered soon dubu and galbitang and both were great Food : 5/5

Best hidden gem for delicious traditional and authentic Korean food! You can taste the love and care they put into each dish especially the marinated crab! It s super rich and savoury that pairs perfectly with rice and side dishes. The bubbly soft tofu soup and donkatsu are sure family favourites!

Real Korean.Real Korean food. Real Korean chef. I believe it. This location is as busy as their other location, BUT theres parking here. We came here solely for their raw marinated crabs. We ordered both soy sauce and spicy flavors. The spiciness didnt mask the crab meat flavor so thats a huge plus for us. We had raw marinated crabs before, but the marinade usually mask the crabby flavors. Also recommend their OJingEoBokkEum, spicy squid stir fry, as well! If we have to nipick about this restaurant: 1) Wait time was around 40 minutes (good sign that this is popular) 2) No green onion adjustment for the seafood pancake (batter is premixed but RIP picky eaters) 3) Only gave us 2 gloves total for the crabs but we saw them give others more to begin with (no problem we just asked for more) 4) Didnt check up on us to see how things are going (seems to be busy and possibly understaffed) 5) Call buttons seem to be for show only Overall, we would come back and eat here again.

I have eaten seafood pancakes at many restaurants, and this one is relatively good. The pancakes are thick but not oily, soft and not dry, and you can taste the refreshing taste of seafood in every bite. And the portion is so big, it s like a big pizza ~ Who doesn t love the irresistible meaty aroma of sizzling beef ribs? Korean spicy fried squid is very delicious and goes well with rice ~ The first time I ordered beef bone vermicelli soup, I didn t expect it to taste so good. It s very friendly to those who can t eat spicy food.

It was my first time trying the marinated crab, and I gotta say it was amazing!!! The sweetness of the marinated crab meat was beyond my expectation. The other dishes are also full of flavours and the portions were generous. Gotta try out their other items next time. Thanks for the great food experience.

The must have here that I highly recommend is the marinated crab, it was so so goood. Tasty, fresh and full of crab roe. The service was ok but kinda slow. Other foods was average.

Overall it s very tasty, especially the seafood pancake and pork bone soup.

Its delicious.

Came here for the soy sauce crab which is ok, I personally dont really like it because of the saltiness, but my friends like it. Other dishes are tasty and I quite like them.

We went to JungSooNe Bonga Steeles on a weekend late afternoon time and we got a seat right away. The waiters don t speak a lot, especially since we didn t speak Korean but they were still helpful and kind when we ordered. We mainly went for the raw crab; we got GanJang GeJang (Raw Crabs in Soy Sauce) ($24.99) and YangNyeom GeJang (Raw Crabs in Spicy Sauce) ($26.99). Both were very good, definitely a bit difficult to eat if you ve never done it before. I usually snap the middle in half so the meat comes out easily. We also asked for a pair of scissors, they were heavy duty and it was helpful for getting meat out of the legs. I preferred the soy one just because the other one was a bit too spicy for me. The seafood pancake ($24.99) was really good, lots of seafood inside and it gave us a good break from the crab. You can also get refills of the side dishes which was really nice. Overall, lovely experience here, the food was tasty and the waiters were nice. Food was kind of expensive but totally worth it!

Delicious and variety of side dishes and soups. This is a very traditional Korean restaurant that has menu items that you don t often see such as raw marinated crab. I love their kongbiji and chunggookjang with pan fried fish.

Kelly served us, and she was amazing! She had a great sense of humour and was great at seeing our needs met. The food was amazing. ESPECIALLY the kimchi. Im not sure if Ive had better kimchi anywhere (oh and it was homemade, of course). We also had gamjatang. Ive never had it before, but I will be having it in the future. So seriously delicious. Im a fan of the restaurant and will be back. Kid-friendliness: There were kids and the restaurant provided high-chairs, so Im sure it is kid friendly!

Got quite busy here (almost full house) at 6pm Saturday with one server and what looked like the owner/manager, but still had very little delay. Was craving kimchi jjigae and it did not let down . Although its a rather simple dish, it really hit the spot for me. Comes with some of my favourite sides: sweet glazed potatoes, pickled beansprouts, seasoned fish cakes, and salty seaweed salad (not the japanese one).

Of course we came here for the viral raw crab! Service was really great and we were seated immediately. The soy sauce raw marinated crab has a very strong crab flavour and is absolutely delicious. Its not fishy per se, just a very strong crab flavour. The spicy raw marinated crab was very good as well however the spices overwhelm the flavour of the crab so you don t get to really taste the crab. It was also very spicy so be careful! All in all, i would go back again!

Their marinated crabs are so good, especially the spicy ones. Side dishes are also delicious, but their Korean hot pot and services are just so so.

Good food but horrible service. Ask for gloves if you order crab. I recommend the raw crab which tastes very authentic, although pretty small in size. It tastes just like how its made in Korea. The soondubu is a little strange, they drenched it with sesame oil and I could really only taste sesame. I personally do not like sesame oil too much so it was not very enjoyable (preferences). The side dishes are good. The seafood pancake is deep fried instead of panfried which is unconventional, but still good. The service however was horrible. We had to ring the bell multiple times to get a single persons attention, and even when we made eye contact I had to ring again because they forgot. The servers were very busy as it was a full house and seemed like they were understaffed. It seemed difficult to pay attention to details, and after the server took my order she had to come back again to reconfirm my order. Also they did not give us the gloves to eat the crab with, even though we saw everyone else on the floor with plastic gloves, so make sure you always ask for gloves. I dont think I will be returning to this location.

the food is mediocre, we ordered hot pot with pork belly which was so disgusting. The soup was so spicy but they dont mention on the board. Slow service and the tall guys showed bad attitude to us when we was asking to refill. Everything was unsatisfied.

Great food and service! We had kimchi pork belly hotpot with marinated crab and both were amazing!! Will definitely come again!

Best marinated crab in town!

Food was so tasty especially the raw marinated crab. Its a must get. It was also convenient to have the service button to press per table. Food : 5/5

Food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic!

Caught stomach flu

The marinated crab is fresh and perfect!!!! This is my favorite Korean restaurant!!!!!

Ordered through Uber, and got a stomach flu. Never going to order or visit the restaurant. (Ordered yangyeom and ganjang gaejang)

Came here for friends Bday dinner cuz of the marinated raw crabs, not bad but not great either (even supermarkets in Hawaii doing better than this), waited for almost 1/2 hour for a table, other food also so-so, not worth the wait & hefty prices they charged, service was kinda missing here with shortage of staff

Very homely and warm vibes, and the food is always great!

Really nice owner! The dishes were absolutely amazing and tasty. The service was great! Recommended dishes

I ordered Kimchi soup from here and it was fantastic!

Real Korean food, Korean cook and atmosphere.

Mainly came to try the marinated crab (GanJang GeJang), but tried a few other dishes as well, including: YukGaeJang (spicy beef with leak soup), HaeMul KalGukSu (noodle soup with seafood), BiBimBap, and TangSooYuk (sweet and sour pork). The marinated crab was worth a try, and JungSooNe is the only place in the Toronto offering marinated crab. It is a bit difficult to eat, I would definitely recommend asking for scissors. I enjoyed the YukGaeJang and would recommend this dish. The other dishes were decent, but you can get a better variation / version at other Korean restaurants.

Came here for the raw marinated crabs and cold noodles and was NOT disappointed. Damn it s so good and a little bit spicy, you just want to keep eating more. Will definitely be back to try the raw crabs marinated in soy sauce!

Its a place that serves Korean food. Pork cutlet, Cheonggukjang, and seafood soft tofu I ordered it and it was always delicious. for cooking Its great to eat with family.

I have dined in and ordered takeout several times now and the food never disappoints! I always get the raw soy marinated crab and I find this is one of few places where the crab doesn t taste as fishy as other places I ve tried. The staff here are very friendly and a wonderful Korean spot for those looking for an authentic experience that supports English speakers!

Came here for the soy marinated raw crabs, stayed for the seafood pancake. First off, the raw crabs were delicious, they were intensely savoury and ocean-y, in the way marinaded ikura (salmon roe) is but much less fishy. Sadly, it was over $20 for two small crabs but since this is one of the few places in Toronto that serve this dish it s definitely worth to try. The cold noodles were average, but tasty and refreshing nonetheless. What surprised me the most was the haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) - this one was THICK, crunchy on all surfaces and not just the edges, and absolutely filled with toppings with a good amount of seafood rather than just being 70% batter. At a standard Korean restaurant I feel like a haemul pajeon would just be the safe choice appetizer that s added on as an extra item, but this one was one of the stars of the meal! Service was good. The side dishes were great - really solid kimchi and potatoes were super sweet and sticky and delicious. Price is a little higher than average for standard Korean food, but the quality makes up for it. I ll come again with a larger group of friends and try more things! Tip: come before 7:30pm because the seats and parking fill up fast.

Not recommend anyone.

If you ever decide to come to this restaurant I recommend the spicy marinated crab and the seafood soup. The service was good and friendly.

I stopped by Toronto on a trip from California and was impressed by the taste. It was a truly authentic Korean meal. The side dishes were so delicious that I thought I was at a good restaurant in Korea. I live nearby. If so, I think Ill stop by whenever I feel like Korean food. May you prosper ^^! You are the best.

Great Korean food. Gotta have the marinated crabs.

Nice little Korean restaurant. Tried soy sauce raw crab and it s a very strong crab/fishy flavour. The seafood pancake was really good - crispy and fluffy packed with squid - large size to share. All the banchan were great except for the kimchi which was mediocre.

Soy sauce crab is delicious and worth a visit

The raw crab must try it was so good

I came here for the raw crab and this place didnt make me disappointed Raw crab is very tasty and fresh highly recommend

There is little rice

Authentic Ganjang Gejang

One of the better, more authentic/home-style Korean restaurants in North York. A tip for good Korean food: go where all the Koreans dine in. And their side dishes are good, if the side dishes are bad, then chances are the mains are gonna be trash. Take it from a Korean.

Great seafood and also other food

The server was very unfriendly. He served items and dishes very roughly. I went to this place twice in a week (not out of choice) but both experience was not great. I will not visit this restaurant again. Food

This place is extremely understaffed, asking for a water refill could take a while. They claimed they ran out of fish cakes when we asked for a refill and served other table with fish cakes few minutes later so I am not sure what was going on. We tried the marinated crabs and monk fish stew that day. No complaints for the crabs it was just fine. My friend wished the monk fish was less rubbery. Overall I would only recommend to those who want to try the marinated crabs.

Its delicious, friendly, and the food comes out quickly. Recognized as a good restaurant Seasoned crab sauce that s delicious anytime you eat it May you prosper:>

It was too salty and sweet. It was very unkind of me to say that.

nice place to eat Korean food

Came here for the raw marinated crabs. Got the spicy one and loved it will have to come back and try the soy marinated crabs next time

Place is ok but not particularly outstanding. The batter on the sweet and sour pork is too thick so the chew is not very crispy. The spicy sauce crab seems quite expensive. 3 crabs for $22-$24 i can t remember. You can get these little crabs for $4.99/lb in store, and 3 crabs is well less than a lb. So even with labour and time and profit, $20+ seems a bit much to in my opinion. Good side dishes tho and we refilled it 2x so thank you. Overall it s fine to try.

1 waiter at dinner time. Are you serious ?

This is our regular go to place for Korean foods. their marinated crab is amazing..also love seafood pancake and all korea soup.

I went to Pinchman and the food was really good. It was the best Korean food restaurant in Toronto. There was a young woman and a man there. They seemed blunt at first, but they only said that the food was delicious and they expressed their gratitude. I thanked them for the delicious food. The crab and cheonggukjang...thick and spicy, cant be compared to other places!! The place was quiet and tip-driven. . It takes 30 minutes, but I will go again. She also gave me gloves and scissors. Super lovely. * I just went back again today. Today, the cheonggukjang was not fully dissolved and was lumpy, but I loosened it and ate it deliciously. I didnt even touch the side dishes, but they threw them all away right before my eyes, both last time and this time. Hygiene and cleanliness get a perfect score!!

The raw marinated crab and seafood pancake was so yummy!

Very good food! Warning that a lot of the food is spicy, but it s very good flavour.

Food is amazing. Family and I really enjoyed it. We had the LA Kalbi, pork bone soup hotpot, spicy raw crab and seafood pancake. We love all of them. Will definitely come back! I want to try bossam! Food

over priced , limited service

One of my most favorite Korean restaurants in Toronto. Marinated Blue crabs is the best.

Came here looking for some heart warming spicy soup on a cold winter day; got exactly what I wanted and more! Ordered the pork bone soup and seafood tofu soup...and realized they offer raw marinated Korean blue crab! Gave that a try, and it was delicious! Booths were very comfortable, and distanced away from each other due to covid. The one server was very attentive and helpful. Wasnt too busy from 6-8 pm. Will definitely come back again!

Extremely friendly owners and clean restaurant. They have like 8 different banchan they gave us with our food. Overall good experience, we tried the soy marinated crab, Pollock hotpot, baby squid stir fry and Tteok-bokki. Pollux hotpot was underwhelming and expensive for what it is, everything else was flavourful. My family especially liked the squid stir fry, tteok-bokki was softer than I usually prefer and the sauce was not really spicy. Would definitely go again.

First time trying raw blue crab and it was delicious! Definitely not for everyone but if you love crab and sashimi then you would love the raw crab. Also tried their tofu soup and spicy fried chicken. The chicken was crunchy flavourful and the spice builds up as you eat it.

The sauce crab was delicious and enough for two people. I missed this bite all the time after finishing it! Very tasty!!

Tiny store with few tables but food is awesome. Staff is mostly Koreans. May not be able to communicate english well.

It is a Korean local restaurant ~~ soy sauce crab sauce ~~ cheonggukjang ~~ a restaurant with good taste~~

The amount of rice was surprisingly small... Its been a while since I had soy sauce crab sauce and it was really delicious, but the beef soup was so tasteless that I couldnt tell what it tasted like. Well, its still worth eating.

The pancake was the only highlight of the place. Everything else were disappointing, crab, beef were both sub-par

Terrible customer service. The waitress completely ignored us. Dont open when u cant even handle customers. Wasted my freakin time.

not my first time order raw crab from here but this time I am so disappointed! The crab is too DIRTY!!!!! All the crab legs are covered with black mud, after my finger touched them I cannot even clean them up with hand soap, I totally can t understand why the kitchen can t clean the crab before offer them to customer, this is way ridiculous!

This has been the most horrible experience. We waited for 35 min. Called the bell 3 times. Not a single dish came out. No communication and not even a side dish. They are poorly managed.

Came here to try the crab. Food was delicious, but sadly the overall experience wasn t the greatest. They missed some of our orders. Gave us 4 bowls when we have 5 people. Forgot about our side dishes I honestly felt bad kept asking for things because I can see that they are busy. In the end they also made a mistake, charged us an extra item.

Soy marinated raw crabs ! Been wanting to try this for the longest time and im glad I did. The crab was fresh and not fishy at all, the sweet, creamy tomalley with the sweet and savoury soy sauce mixed into the rice was so full of umami flavour, it was perfect! The dish also comes in a spicy version which I actually like more than the original. The tomalley can get a little heavy after a few bites so the spicy really helped. Original you get 2 crabs and a bowl of rice Spicy you get 3 crabs and a bowl of rice (no head shell)

only raw blue crab worth to try, other dishes are wasted money and low standard for Korean food.

Takes 35 mins for them to serve the food.

The food really good

Not recommend! The crabs taste not good,so bitter. Overpriced for the quality. Two people spent almost $110 for three dishes.

Delicious soy marinated crabs and we enjoyed other dishes included in the golf special. Would recommend the Korean seafood pancake it was way fluffier than other ones we had and way crispier!

Food takes like 35 mins to come. When we asked where our food was, the server forgot to put it into the computer so we waited for another 15 mins. Overall ok. Tried both soy sauce marinated blue crab and spicy crab. Both are very tasty. The spicy crab is a bit too spicy for me even i eat spicy regular. Overall ok

The raw crabs are sooooo delicious. We ve also tried their hotpot but that s really not good comparing to other Korean restaurants. Might give something else another try next time when I m craving for their raw crabs!

The bean noodles were delicious.

Mediocre food, slow service (short-staffed). The waiter also overstated his memorizing ability - he didnt write down anything about our order, and ended up serving us the wrong food and missed the beer I ordered. (Response to owners post - I never said today - I came on July 23rd. So whether you were open today has nothing to do with my experience)

First time trying raw marinated crabs and it was amazing!! The staff here was also very kind and quick to serve us, we will definitely be coming back P.S. At the end of the menu, theres a page where they teach you basic Korean sentences. I thought that was so cute!

I had been wanting to try Korean raw marinated crab for a long time, but since I am from Seattle, there wasnt any in my area. Once I found out there was a restaurant in the Toronto area, I immediately put it on my list of places I wanted to go to, and this definitely satisfied my craving! The spot is a little far from the downtown area, but definitely worth the trip. We arrived pretty late, around 8 pm, and still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The waitress was extremely friendly and gave us a menu when we asked for it to look at while waiting. We ordered both the soy sauce and spicy versions of the crab. And the seafood pancake because my partner isnt a big seafood or spicy person. I personally enjoyed the soy sauce version. It had the right amount of flavor without covering up the original taste of the crab. It also came with the body shell of the crab, which is perfect to mix your rice into. Both versions were extremely fresh and had a good texture. I was not disappointed by my very first raw crab experience. The seafood pancake was also extremely exceptional. It had a lot of pieces of squid, crab, etc inside of it, making it extremely tasty. If you are hoping to try raw crab, I would definitely recommend making the way to this place! They have a lot of other wonderful Korean dishes on the menu, and I am sure everyone can find a little something from this place.

I have to say, it was sad. The staff looked exhausted and the kitchen was backed up- they were clearly understaffed and there is no system of waiting in order. The place is getting very popular but this also means the owner should really start thinking about a better system for there restaurant. Can t comment on the food because after 1 hour of waiting we didn t get it. Anyway I don t blame anyone but, it s just not worth it.

Good Korean food but every time I visit, the restaurant is always short staffed hence takes a bit of time for servings.

Spicy and soy sauce raw crab delicious!

ehhh not very good and pricey. No wait when we came but my beef noodle soup was very salty and there was only 10 strands of noodles (the noodles aren t the main dish but I ve ordered this at different places and it has at least triple the amount). My fiancé got pork bone soup and it was very chewy and the pork does not fall off the bone at all.

Both types of sauce crab taste just average. The complimentary potato side dishes are delicious, but you cant add more. The kimchi fried rice was too wet. There are few waiters so its very busy.

BoSsam was good. Sweet and Sour Pork sauce seemed to vinegary. Kimchi tasted old. Sweet spicy Squid sauce not as flavourful as Id like.

The waiter(a tall man) is so reluctant When we visited, there were only 2 other tables there. Definitely not a busy time. Ordered soy sauce crab, grilled pork belly, combo of grilled fish and seafood tofu soup Waited 30 minutes for the tea. Asked two things on the menu, he said no for both of them (Korean pancake and grilled yellow croaker, both are on the menu) Ordered soy sauce crab and he did not give us the gloves (other table has it when ordered same dish) Ordered grilled pork belly, the meat was not seasoned before it was grilled. They didn t even put any salt or pepper on it. And he did not give us any dipping sauce and vegetables wrap that are supposed to come with the pork belly. I waited for a while until the meat was getting cold, I had to remind him to bring the dipping sauce and vegetables to the table. After almost 1 hr, he still did not bring the seafood tofu soup that we ordered. I had to remind him because we almost finished the meal. He then brought us a beef tofu soup and asked me if it s okay. I told him no because at that time, I was getting angry about his reluctance. Then he said something badly(I understand some Korean and just came back from Busan and Seoul last month). Then after another 20minutes we finally got the soup we ordered. I think the store owner should look into this. I tried many Korean restaurants in Toronto, this is the worst service I experienced ever.

Waste time on my birthday dinner, food sucks, poor service can t understand where are those good reviews from

The good was ok. The gamjatang was different than most places, instead of using whatever veggies, they used Kimchi so the dish has a bit of a tangy flavor. The meat did not fall off the bone and it was quite annoying to eat actually. Their raw marinated crab was good though.

Good

Good

Have been here twice, order all recommended food, pork belly, crab, seafood pancake, etc. very disappointed. Service is meh, food is not as good as expected, for that price range I m expecting better quality food. Had 3 dishes with my friend, $30/pp. Will not visit again.

Food is tasty! The sea food pancake here is huge and the restaurant is very generous with the the toppings. The Sweet and sour pork is tasty but the same taste in every other Korean restaurant. Im docking one star because it takes time for the food to come out... seems like this restaurant is short staffed. Definitely will be back to try their raw crab dish next time!

Especially enjoy the cheonggukjang jigae which is not available at other korean restaurants. Soy sauce raw crab available at this location but it is slightly difficult to eat because they do not crack the crab and its very hard on your teeth. Small location, parking available.

Came here to try the soy marinated raw crab - it was creamy and salty; perfect to mix with rice!

The taste is ok, a bit expensive, not worth it

Overpriced for the quality and portion. We spent $120 for two people for the food we could have easily spent half of the price somewhere else. The fish was incredibly hard and not tasty at all.

Advertised closure at 9.30pm. Was there at 8.20pm and told kitchen was closed.

Just try their food still like their food but there is one mid age women has an attitude for ordering food just want to give one star. Attitude is everythjng.

One of my favorite restaurants. It feels like eating at my home town in Korea.

expensive but delicious, soondubu is great, other dishes are just ok.

Delicious raw blue crab and seafood pancake. Will definitely have to come back to try more dishes! Friendly staff and cozy environment.

Delicious food and calm environment. I came at a good time when it wasnt busy, therefore, everybody was spaced out far from each other.

Authentic Korean food.

Great food!!! You can tell immediately by the aroma that its done with passion and care. So flavourful and done right. Service is great, too. Definitely our new family fave for Korean homestyle cooking.

The marinated crab is delicious. Remnds me of the ones we had in Gochujang. Spicy kimchi bokeum bap and side dishes super yummy. Definitely coming back.
