Had high hopes for this place given the Google reviews but left feeling disappointed. We love trying Korean restaurants & I've heard this place mentioned quite a few times. The restaurant no longer offers banchan to reduce costs which was pretty surprising. Instead of offering it on request, they charge a few dollars per side dish which was incomprehensible to me. The food was good but the portions were small for the price point. The tteokbokki was pretty good & the pork & tofu stir fry was good but could have used more pork & tofu for the price. My husband wanted tempura instead of the pajeon & we were super disappointed - we ordered the mixed vegetable tempura & it was just a bunch of chopped veggies in pajeon batter served in clumps. It was mostly batter to veggie ratio which was a disappointment. Service was prompt but cold. The bathrooms were dirty & grim. I went in before leaving & watched a girl ahead of me & walk in & immediately out. I was surprised to see things like tempura & general Tao on the menu at a Korean place. Overall, I've tried over a dozen Korean places in the city & this has certainly been my least favourite to date. There are certainly better options near Guy Concordia with more authentic menus - this felt like a tourist spot as I don't understand the ratings here for what we got.

I had an amazing dining experience at the Korean restaurant! The food was outstanding, with authentic flavors that truly captured the essence of Korean cuisine. The service was top-notch, & the staff went above & beyond to make us feel welcome. We are group of 6 & came at lunch time, instead of refusing, they even give us more food. Moreover, the cozy ambiance added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a fantastic Korean dining experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
