Gwangjang Market Korean Restaurant

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 5 Stars Sanitary: 4 Stars Overall: 4.6 Stars Loved my visit to Gwangjang Market Korean Restaurant! Everything we had was SO tasty! I went with my mom and we both ordered the hot stone bibimbap — and wow. It came out sizzling hot, perfectly crisp on the bottom, and packed with flavour. Every bite was delicious and comforting. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Honestly, I didn’t go in with super high expectations, but this place completely blew me away. The portions were huge, the prices were very reasonable (especially for the amount of food you get), and the side dishes were incredibly generous. Even better — all the banchan are free to refill. Like… WHAT A STEAL! The staff were also really friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It felt cozy and authentic, and you can tell they care about the food they’re serving. Safe to say — I’ll definitely be back very soon. Highly recommend if you’re craving solid, satisfying Korean food at an affordable price! xx kellychan360

I found this amazing place on social media and it definitely did not disappoint. The food is incredible fresh, flavourful, and the portion sizes are great. I also loved all the side dishes that come with the meal; they really make the experience even better. I would absolutely come back and bring some friends next time. Definitely worth the trip to North York.

Loved my visit here! Everything I had was so tasty 😋 Super generous side dishes, affordable prices, and really friendly staff. I’ll definitely be back! ✨

(Nov 6) We ordered gopchang sundae hot pot and tofu kimchi, and the hot pot was absolutely amazing! and it would go perfectly with soju. The tofu kimchi was also tasty. I was so satisfied and will definitely be coming back. (Nov 14) I came here once during the soft opening after having a few drinks, and the food was so good that I had to come back for lunch today. It’s just as delicious as I remembered! The side dishes are so many and so good that they make me genuinely happy. The prices are fair, and I highly recommend this place!

I had such a wonderful experience dining here. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and beautifully put together. The restaurant is clean, thoughtfully designed, and has a comfortable ambiance that makes you want to sit back and truly enjoy your meal. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The presentation was impressive, and you can tell attention was paid to both quality and detail. Each bite was well-balanced and satisfying, making the entire meal memorable. The service was just as exceptional as the food. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional without being overwhelming. They made us feel welcome and ensured everything was perfect throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an enjoyable and memorable meal.

One of the daldongnae bbq transformered into this. I never noticed the decor in here as we’re always busy grilling away. During this visit I noticed how cute it was with the little roofs and windows. You choose a main dish and it comes with all these Bachan — small side dishes, unlimited refill as well. Love the presentation and concept will definitely visit again. There’s a small parking lot behind the restaurant for customers. Otherwise you’ll have to find paid street parking or park in the neighborhood. The front door was closed when I visited so we had to use the back door.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Vibe 5/5 This is such a hidden gem! Highly recommend ✨ I was just looking for korean food and saw this new spot. I rmb it was korean bbq spot before but now became a set meal kinda style restaurant instead. Didnt start with high expectations, but this place blew me away. Prices were reasonable, portions were huge and all side dishes are free to refill. Like WHAT A STEAL! I loved my Kalbi tang (beef bone soup). Nowadays, a lot of Korean places go cheap and give you beef slices instead of the chucky meat with the bone, but this place goes HARD! Super huge meat but still soft! 5/5 Also their rice is like a steam clay pot style with pumkin, nuts, peas and date. Which makes you feel like something homemade, healthy and good for the belly. Overall 5/5! Will definitely come back!!

Located in the old Daldongnae spot, the interior remains while the concept changed to a Korean food restaurant. There is parking in the back which can be tight with snow. Loved all the side dishes and the pork kimchi chigae. There are side dish refills available especially for the salad, japchae and kimchi. Ordered a seafood pancake which was crispy and full of seafood. Service was great from the start until the end where it was hard to get their attention for takeout boxes and the bill. They don’t allow bill splitting even for a group of 2.
