If you want to try Korean Chinese food, go here. Their jajangmyeon, black bean noodle, is similar to what you will find in Korea. Instead of ordering each dish separately, combination options (shown on their menu) are more affordable. So make sure you go with more than 2 ppl. Be aware of generous portion. Small size tangsuyuk (fried chicken w sweet sauce) aint small ended up packing 1/2 home

Came to this place on a early Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy. We got some black bean noodles and an entree, and the food quality was excellent. The servers there were topping our side dishes before we even asked for it multiple times. It has 14 tables so it’s not that big of a place. I would call ahead if youre going on a weekend. All in all, would go again for some noodles.

Have you been watching kshows and been craving jajangmyun and tangsuyuk? This place will fulfill your k-drama food fantasies! It is difficult to find a Korean Chinese restaurant and this place is a gem. The portions are humongous. We ordered Course A which includes Tangsuyuk, Spicy Fried Chicken and Family Ja Jang. It costs 59.99 pre-tax. Also if you pay cash they give you 5% off. On the menu the dishes were described as small size but the portions were giant. The fried dishes were piping hot! You can tell that they were made fresh. I loved the sweet and tangy chicken dish especially with the touches of water chestnut. The tangsuyuk was honestly a bit on the tough side. What I did really appreciate is that the poured only on one side so you have the option to dip as well for those that prefer to eat it that way. The Ja Jang was a giant portion mixed with shrimp, diced meat, squid and a ton of onions. Very delicious but super heavy. Definately a large portion to share among 4 people. I would recommend this spot even though the prices have increased a lot in the past 3 years since they opened. FYI when we went their card machine was not working so they only took cash or e-transfers at the time.

Fantastic spot for Korean-Chinese cuisine! I tried the jjajangmyeon, champpong, and kam pong gi, and everything was delicious. The jjajangmyeon was rich and flavorful, and the champpong had just the right amount of spice. But the standout was the kam pong gi—perfectly crispy, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service—I’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommend their Ma Po Tofu, great chpice who enjoys beef and spicy tofu at the same time. I was coming here to escape from the heavy thunder storm while cycling. The staff there was friendly enough to not taking my plates after I finish the food until I leave when the rain is mild.

Aug 24, 2024 (1st visit): We were craving some good jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and this place hit the spot. Would recommend the family jajangmyeon for two where you get the smoky ...

I think this restaurant serves the best Jjamppong 짬뽕 in Toronto so far.. The flavour of the broth itself differs from the other ones I’ve had, spicy at first but then the joy of the deep seafood aroma makes for a pleasant experience. The seafood itself is cooked to perfection too! You’ll usually find the squid to be too chewy because they’ve been over cooked but not here. It was so soft and delicate I was very impressed to say the least. Their Kam pung shrimp 깐풍새우 and Seafood fried rice 삼선볶음밥 was also delicious. The fried rice comes with a side of jjajang sauce and jjamppong soup! Can’t wait to return to try their other menu items
