I've been to this restaurant quite a few times, & every time I try a new menu, I'm impressed by the taste.
the katsu portion was huge & the cutlet was super crispy & juicy, the sauce with it delicious!
I also really enjoyed the jjimdakk & the dalkgalbi, it was the tastes I missed from korea...
I got the half-&-half fried chicken. The onion cream sauce had a bit of a burnt undertone to it, which is not to my personal liking, & the sweet & spicy one wasn't spicy at all. The chicken in of itself was super crispy & moist inside. The fries were the star of the show as they were well seasoned & crunchy (kind of like the Costco ones). The portion size was surprisingly pretty fulfilling despite seeming small.
Good food but very bad service.
We waited 25 minutes just to order after asking multiple times. On top of that, when you served us the food, the dipping sauces given (ketchup & mayo) were less than 2 teaspoons for a whole meal. After all that, right as we were leaving, my friend needed to use the bathroom & you wouldn't let him even though he paid for 2 full meals because you were'closing' even though it was still open.
I work nearby & had heard about La Table de Jo from colleagues, so I finally gave it a try. As a Vietnamese, I was honestly surprised I hadn't come across this spot earlier.
The staff stood out right away. Super friendly, making the effort to speak French & even double-checking our order to make sure everything was right. It felt thoughtful & genuine.
I went for the midi combo with fried chicken, & it's exactly what you want for lunch. A full plate with variety: crispy chicken with different sauces, rice, salad, dumplings, kimchi, plus a soup on the side. It feels complete without being complicated.
What I liked most is having multiple textures & flavors in one plate. Crunchy, fresh, spicy, comforting. It makes the meal more interesting from start to finish.
Solid spot for a satisfying, no-stress lunch. I'll definitely be back.
Worst Korean food I have ever eaten in my life. We ordered two sets of bulogi & spicy chicken. The chicken only had more cabbage than chicken. The bullogi sets was a ripoff, the side dish alone not worth it. Kimchi, seaweed, radish. Toronto have better Korean food.One tteokbokki, the sauce was so light, again cabbage no fish cake, my kids said it's like we eat one whole of cabbage. We spend $85, I feel cabbage cost less & honestly we feel like we wasted our money. They should improve on the side dish if they want to survive. Never again.
The place is very cozy with ambient light. Place is small-medium if you are wondering.
For entrance we had miso soup & salad with in house sauce. Personally the sweetish sauce is not my thing so I gave to my colleague.
Main dish, we pretty much took each of one in our group & the beef/chicken dish with, tomatoes/ananas/bean were the best. Meat were juicy. We also end up ordering extras because it tasted so good.
For dessert I took the waffle, ice cream with syrup. It's honestly great, the crunchy crust & soft inside were greatly executed.
However, the steamed bun with red bean is bad & you can taste it's from frozen product that has been steamed again. Would suggest to change to 4 smaller bun instead of a very large one.
Honestly, this restaurant is so pretty, & the food was delicious. We had the chicken katsu, tteokbokki, & a seafood pancake. I loved that nothing was too oily or too salty. Personally, I found the sauce on the salad that came with the chicken katsu a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that, everything was great. The highlight for me was definitely the beautiful decor.
Le staff est super sympathique & la nourriture est authentique! J'ai beaucoup aimé le poulet à la sauce crémeuse à l'oignon. Leur tteokbokki aussi est délicieux, je recommande vivement!
Repas délicieux, serveur sympathique & rigolo, merci Jo! La salade avec sauce au Yuzu était absolument savoureuse, vous devriez vendre la vinaigrette! Belle soirée j'y retournerai!
