The food was great, the fried chicken was especially good. Our server was also good. But the restaurant has issues on how it’s managed. First off, mandatory tip. I have no problem tipping at restaurants, or with a mandatory service charge for large groups. But they specify a minimum mandatory tip for groups of any size. Second, this is the first Korean restaurant I’ve been to where they charge for side dish refills. Also, their menu price for veggie pancake was $27, whereas in other nearby similar quality Korean restaurants the price is half that. Overall the food was good, but it seems the restaurant management is more interested in nickel and dimeing rather than providing a good experience to get repeat customers. I for sure will not be coming back, there are other options nearly with a similar quality and far less problems.

Honestly I have no clue why other reviews are complaining about the service, all the workers were very sweet, fast, and polite. The food was amazing, especially a big fan of the stir frye we had I almost shed a tear eating it, portion sizes were also great. My boyfriend and I payed about 90$ for two drinks, two appetizers and the large half and half chicken platter so price wasn’t bad at all for the amount of food you get. 100000/10 would recommend, atmosphere was also beautiful!

I came here with friends a while back and the food was really good! We definitely enjoyed it! I had to order extra Candy Chicken because it was very nice! The wait wasn’t super long and the waitress serving us was very helpful and answered all our questions politely. Everything was hot, freshly cooked and worth every penny! I do recommend stopping by here!

Honestly one of the best places to have Korean Fried Chicken in the GTA. But let's forget about the food for a minute. Every time I have been to this restaurant the service from the owner has been above and beyond. She remembers my order, recommends other things on the menu and is just a delight overall. If I'm debating between restaurants, I usually come here just because of the service. The booths are very unique, reminiscent of being in Seoul and it's one of the only places I've been to where you can have a private meal. Candy fried chicken is nice and spicy while being tender and has an excellent taste. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone willing to try something new.

Wow!! This was the best bbq fried chicken I had in a long time. Service was good. Must try : BBQ chicken and cheese corn chicken with barbican drink. Halal option but they serve beers as well. Overall you will get a good experience. For me it is 5/5. Good Food, Good Service, Good Ambience. Would definitely recommend everyone to at least try this restaurant once.

Like the others said, food was okay but overpriced. Staff is rude and will force you to tip plus they were swearing in the background so don't bring your little kids here! Please take note, if less than 4 people in your group, there will be 15% service fee. If you would like to get something similar, try Owl of Minerva. We just went here because it's the only korean restaurant that is open late night. I might be back to see if they improved their professionalism.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. I loved the spicy candy chicken. It was so hot🥵 and yumm at the same time. Jt was bursting with flavours. The honey-garlic chicken was also very good. The Bulgogi Bokeum was also fantastic, specially the beef was sooo tender. The takoyaki was okayish. The only let down was black bean noodles. Talking about service, it became kinda weird with them. The waiters were super friendly but there was one person, i didn’t like his vibes.

Delicious Korean fried chicken! Their seasonings are delicious and the crisp is amazing! Tried to dine-in and also take out their fried chicken, which was about a 30-min drive and it stayed crisp! Also had leftovers I kept in the fridge and does well reheated in the air fryer or even on a pan to get it to be crisp again. The menu says they are Halal as well, which is a great option for those who have those requirements. I definitely enjoy the soy-garlic chicken and tried the seasoned chicken this time and that was so good! Spicy and sweet!! They are in the same place as Song’s Cook restaurant.
