The place doesn't have a lot of spaces & it's a bit loud, but the food was great the fried chicken was juicy because they mostly use chicken thighs, the rice was perfect, the salad cut through the grease, & the dumplings were a nice touch. Very kind & efficient service also :) (big portions reasonable price)

Delicious food at affordable prices at this casual Korean eatery. I had the Dak Balls Cupbap, which was Korean fried chicken pieces on rice with vegetables, an onsen egg & 2 fried dumplings. It was delicious. My husband had the kimchi & beef bulgogi poutine. It was a fun take on fusion cuisine. He enjoyed it. Decor is simple. Service was pleasant but was minimal. You order at the counter & pay. Then staff bring your food when it's ready.

Delicious food & fast service. The place is very small, but it's fast food style so you can order & leave to go eat somewhere else. You can also eat at the location. Good price & portion size. Dakballs are one of my favorite. Fried to perfection, it's crispy & spicy. The beef bulgogi is also pretty good. Beef is well marinated. My friend ordered the soup, it looks like a burning volcano & a perfect winter meal despite the fact it's currently summer.

I came to Ganadara on Mackay for a weekend lunch with girlfriends. I ordered the Tteokbokki with Mandu & it was so delicious; sweet & spicy, & I really liked that they pan fried the fish cake instead of cooking it directly into the sauce because it gave a nice texture to the dish. My girlfriends had the Chicken Katsu Curry & the Soondubu Jigae with Bulgogi, which they really enjoyed. I've tried two other Ganadara locations before & I thought the food there was just so-so, but I'm glad I gave the Mackay location a try because the food here was great.

On my friend's recommendation, I went to a Korean restaurant to eat bibimbap. The quality of the food was good, but it was not like the picture on the menu. I ordered chicken bibimbap & I had heard from my friend that it has a layer of rice, a layer of vegetables containing mushrooms, carrots, & other vegetables, & an egg. Fried. But my dish had soft-boiled eggs & no layer of vegetables, but there was a little salad on the side of my plate. Actually, my food is rice & chicken It was with special sauce & salad, & of course it was delicious & very spicy.

Food is great. We had the sundubu jjigae, which had a delicious broth & lots of soft tofu, veggies, & meat. The tteokpokki was great as well... The fish cakes are different from most tteokpokki, I think it's fried? A nice touch. Overall, worth a visit for the great food. Service was very quick & the restaurant atmosphere was pleasant. Will be back soon!
