KoSam Korean Restaurant & Bar

Ubereats Order Got the koryo samgyetang and it was perfection, i liked the fact that the broth comes entirely unseasoned yet full of flavor, they give you salt and paper mixture to add as you wish. The hen comes stuffed with rice as well. First time trying this dish and ienjoyed it very much, would definitely order again <3

Genuinely one of my favorite dining experiences. Food was excellent and they actually gave us extra food. The waiter we had was excellent, nicest guy I've met. It was only his 3rd day and he made the dining experience amazing. I'd go back just to get to talk with him again. Food was very good, and everything we ate was above expectations!

If you’re craving samgyetang in Toronto, I highly recommend this place. Not only is their samgyetang excellent, but all of their other dishes are outstanding as well. The side dishes are beautifully prepared, clean, and well-balanced, and you can truly taste the high-quality ingredients in every dish—it feels refined and premium.I’ve been a regular customer since they first opened their original Leslie location, and the quality has always been consistent. This restaurant has truly elevated the level of Korean cuisine in Toronto. Highly recommended.🤗

Tried this place because a friend recommended their seolleongtang! Tastes really homey and comforting. We also got the buldak chicken with cheese has this hint of smokiness and seasoned well. Their side dishes are also really good and has great variety. Staff is very attentive and the ambience is really nice.

I’ve been coming to KoSam for years. Always get great service here. My go to is the spicy seafood tofu soup - I get it every time! They also serve about 5-6 really tasty side dishes with meals that you can get refills on. Highly recommend!

Tried this place based off a reco from my hairstylist. Delicious Korean fried chicken! Loved the Kosam Yang Yum Fried Chicken. Hit the right notes on my taste buds: sweet, sour, spicy and garlicky. Yes, I know garlic is not a main taste bud but it should be. Every culture has garlic. I also always love dumplings so the Man Du felt like home for some reason. Maybe the dipping sauce. Also,I don't know why Google can't create a proximity meritocracy for reviews. I asked my hairstylist what he thought of this place *because* he works in the area. Of course, he knew where the best places to eat around here was.

Good place to dine in when neighbor stores are full. odered beef soup, soft tofu, soon dae sausage. very fast serving and side dishes has lots of variety.

The food is amazing and nicely cooked. It’s perfect for the cold weather. We ordered ssundae, tteokbokki, and seolongtang. The side dishes were well seasoned, highly recommend!

The reviews were mixed but I chose the place because of the dishwater and utensils used, and I was not disappointed. Ordered their speciality hen soup, sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken and spicy pork dupdap lastly their seafood pancake. My Asian mother loves it because the seasoning was light but might be bland for others. The soup could've used more herbal ingredients as it didn't taste herbal at all. The Korean fried chicken was nice and crispy. The pancake was so crispy because I think they coat the outside with bread crumbs. The spicy spork was sweet and spicy and the rice was also partially scorched. Service was great and our waiter refilled our banchan a few times. Many tables along with a patio as well.

Food is great. Very authentic, love the soups. Only complaint is the smell from the kitchen....almost smells like Sewer. Please have it looked at. Have to sit closer to the front to avoid it.

A great spot with great food and good service. The food here is so good and we enjoyed every single item we ordered. We came here since my friends wanted the ginseng chicken soup but I came here more for all the other items and was not disappointed at all. Here's what we got: Tteokbokki 5/5 - I always love tteokbokki and this one had a nice sauce that was not too spicy. It's a buildable type of spice and came with fish cakes and topped with cheese. Stir Fried Jae Yook (Spicy Pork) 5/5 - Another dish that is always a staple. Loved this as it came on a sizzling hot plate and was great to sharing. Sauce was delicious and so good with the pieces of pork. Samgyetang 5/5 - A whole cornish hen soup stuffed with sticky rice inside. It's a light ginseng flavoured broth that is rich and delicious. My friends love the ginseng chicken soup here and always crave this. Dol Sot Kimchi Fried Rice 5/5 - Loved the kimchi fried rice here. It came in a sizzling stone pot so the bottom of the stone pot has crispy rice. Topped with an egg. Kosam Honey Butter Fried Chicken 5/5 - This was the star of the show. The honey butter sprinkling can only be found at this location. Perfectly crispy fried chicken with a nice dusting of sugary butter goodness. Overall everything here is great and so tasty. A great place to come with friends to share multiple items.

Kosam is a Korean restaurant situated in a dense cluster of restaurant outlets and condominiums. There is only street parking in surrounding areas or you can park in the garage next door. I recommend parking at the residential streets about 1 block west of Yonge St. It's free parking after 6 pm. The restaurant was very busy and luckily my brother got a reservation for 7pm. We ordered the following: H6. TTEOK GALBI JUNG SIK $20.99 - Grilled minced Korean style short rib marinated in soy sauce. Served on a sizzling plate with a cracked egg, rice cake, and cabbage. F1. Kosam fried chicken $20.99 - crispy boneless fried chicken thighs. B3. DOL SOT KORYO BIBIMBAP $19.99 - Koryo bimbimbap served in traditional Korean hot stone bowl B4 DOL SOT NAH MUL BIBIMBAP $19.99 - vegetarian DOL SOT KORYO BIBIMBAP A2. PA JEON (SEAFOOD & GREEN ONION PANCAKE) $19.99 - Korean style pancake made with shrimps, oysters, squids and green onions, etc. The bibimbap and dupbap came out first. You would think the PA JEON pancake would come first since it's an appetizer. I had to wait for an extra 15 minutes before my Kosam fried chicken would come out. The server said they only have one deep fryer, and they are very busy. Getting my fried chicken and pancake order when my family is almost finished eating was disappointing. It looks like the kitchen could not keep up with the volume of orders. Pancake was mostly green onions and not much seafood. I did see some pieces of squid but no shrimps or oysters. The pancake needed seasoning. The soy sauce provided helped offset the blandness of the pancake. My wife enjoyed the minced kalbi rib, which was like a burger steak. The dish was well executed with a cracked egg, rice, and veggies on a sizzling plate. Overall experience the food is decent, and some minor adjustments in the kitchen to ensure appetizers come out earlier and to get orders out in a reasonable amount of time. Please make sure the you give more seafood in your pancake. I would give them another try and hopefully see some improvements.

Good for: lunch specials! I enjoy the stir fry spicy pork or chicken dishes with rice and side dishes for lunch. Special pricing and good portions. I only really come for the lunch specials because without the special pricing, I find I can get better taste and value elsewhere since there are so many Korean restaurants in the neighbourhood. Their regular menu is fine but just average in my opinion, Some dishes better than others and prices are average. Not cheap but not crazy expensive (~18-25 / dish). Their bimbimbap is a bit tasteless and the ground beef portion is so small it's sad. Their tofu soup is okay but mild is really spicy here so be aware. Tonkatsu dishes were quite tasty. Beef rib soup is okay but have had better. Okay I think I'll stop here because you get the gist. To sum up the restaurant in two words: "It's okay" just about describes it.

As far as the food goes here, it is quite average. The bibimbap was okay, it could have been more flavourful and it was a bit pricey (around $18). The side dishes were also fine, nothing spectacular. Inside it was spacious and clean. The service was good and our food came quite quickly.

I happened to be in the area and decided to try out Kosam. Specifically Kosam specializes in their samgyetang dish (chicken soup). Especially since it's their main dish and I wanted to give it a try considering it was my first time having it. Samgyetang: Tastes very herbal and more earthy. It seems more like a nutritious soup compared to other soups I've had. The broth was a bit too bland for my liking even with the given salt and pepper. The stuffing was the only good thing from the dish inside was sticky rice and some jujubes. I wasn't really too impressed with this dish. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for the chicken soup as I found it to be too bland. The prices were on the pricier end too.

A friend and I randomly stopped in, enjoyed our food, but was not wowed. Would go back if in the area again.

I was searching for some Korean restaurants uptown with patios and came across KoSam and their pretty extensive menu so we decided to come here. I got the kimchi and pork stew and shared dukbokki and green apple soju with my friend. I appreciate that Kosam has plentiful side dishes and many are different than what I've had at other restaurants (e.g. sliced cabbage alongside a sesame(?)-like sauce, a pickled green vegetable, and marinated bok choy) alongside with the more traditional side dishes (i.e. pickled cucumber, pickled radish). I was excited to try the kimchi and pork stew since it's one of my most favourite Korean dishes. However, I was let down. The flavour wasn't as strong and flavourful as I would have liked and the kimchi was not as fermented. It didn't have that strong sour kimchi quality which I look for in kimchi stew! Considering the broth they used is beef, I was also expecting a richer soup as well. It came with some mushrooms and an egg which was different and that improved the dish. I also appreciated that there was a decent amount of kimchi and tofu. For dukbokki, it also wasn't as flavourful but the rice cakes were chewy and hot. It also came with one hard boiled egg and a few slices of fish cake. The service here is much better than other Korean restaurants I've been to and they check up on you pretty often. They can also split the bill with no problem. Since they're known for their samyetang, that would be the only other dish I would try if I were to drop by again.

Located along busy Yonge street, with lots of restaurants choices, one has to find street parking. Thank goodness we found one behind their place along Beecroft street. The interior design is modern and open. The servers all are wearing a red and white crewneck top which was nice to see. I liked it. Service was good! The menu is on the pricier side for a Korean restaurant. It did come with six side dishes which was nice. No traditional kimchi though. I ordered the soon tofu with beef dumplings. The tofu was soft and I liked it. The dumplings were not over cooked but there were only 3 for a $16 meal. Really?? I didn't get my $$ worth. The soup base had the right spice and presentation was good too. Oh, my stream rice was not hot at all. My partner had the bibimbap and he said it was pretty good but it could use a lot more beef on top of it. There are plenty of Korean restaurants to try along Yonge street so I'm not sure if I'll be going back.

Very average Korean food, many better options in the area. Got the cheese tonkatsu, beef bibimbap, pork mandu dumplings, ttoekbokki, honey butter fried chicken, and seafood pancake. Cheese tonkatsu was not what I expected but ok. It was a ball of cheese wrapped in pork and batter. Nothing special unless you really like stretchy cheese. Beef bibimbap was a huge disappointment. The beef was ground up so much it was basically powder. Not much flavour from anything other than gochujang sauce. Dumplings are the standard ones you get from any place, nothing notable. Ttoekbokki were huge but I personally don't like them so have no comment. Also didn't eat the seafood pancake but the people I was with enjoyed it. Honey butter (Korean) fried chicken was tasty but very different from any other kfc I've had. Probably closer to Taiwanese popcorn chicken with sauce and not as crispy. Not bad though. Overall I wouldn't recommend it with all the great options around. It was also on the pricier side for what we got but I wouldn't say it's a ripoff. It's just standard nothing special Korean food.

First time at Ko Sam, would give it a 3.5! I think this is a good spot to grab Korean food with friends. I got the Dol Sot Bulgogi Dup Bap which was good. It wasn't the best I ever had but the bulgogi itself was flavourful and yummy! They also offer mạnh side dishes. The service was okay too!

Restaurant is a great location. Nice layout, Great waitstaff. I was out with my cousins and we had a good time here. Food was pretty ok. I was surprised by my dish. It wasn't what I expected for galbi. It was more like a salsbury steak patty with galbi sauce? It was good but not what i expected. :)

Came here upon a Korean friend's recommendation. They are famous for their samgyetang (Korean chicken ginseng soup). I ordered the yang gom tang which consists of cow intestines, beef brisket, egg and potato noodles with a beef bone based broth (spicy) it was delicious! Super flavorful, tolerable spicy (I love spice), generous amounts of cow intestines, beef and served with a bowl of rice. It was delicious, we also ordered Korean fried chicken and it was crispy, tender and it came with spicy mayo. We also ordered a beef soon tofu soup and it was good, nothing special, still delicious. Staff were friendly and welcoming. No free parking as they are situated on the main road (yonge street) however, there is paid street parking.

Amazing Korean food after a very long time. The service was very good and they were very helpful in accommodating special requests like making vegetarian tteokbokki without fish balls.

This place is my go to spot for groups of 4 or more. We eat family style by sharing all the dishes and their food doesn't disappoint. The samyetang is really good. I've only ever had it before at their leslie location. The chicken is tender and the dish is comforting and healthful. The ginseng flavour isn't offensively strong either. The kimchi fried rice is bomb! Flavorful with a hint of cheesiness. The fried chicken is good too, eat it before it gets cold! The seafood pancake is the best I've had. Not too doughy, thin and crispy. Reminds me of the chinese style green onion pancake. I haven't had a bad meal here and the staff always make it a great experience. Super polite and attentive. They all speak perfect english if you were wondering.

Great portions at an acceptable price range (medium). I had their Hot Stone Kimchi Fried Rice (H4) and shared the Kosam Fried Chicken (F1) with friends. I absolutely recommend the Fried Chicken + beer. The chicken was boneless, tender, juicy and perfect with the sauce. You definitely should share the chicken between 2-4 people or you'd grow tired of it. The Kimchi Fried Rice was delicious, but was a bit repetitive over time. It only had an egg and broccoli in it. But that's what the side dishes are for right? The portion was big though, definitely worth the price. The side dishes were great, especially the potatoes. Although I think they can be more generous with the potatoes. They literally give us 1 piece per person and we had to ask for refills again many times. I wish they had Napa Cabbage Kimchi (you'd think this is almost essential) as side dishes. I guess the variety of other side dishes makes up for this.

FOOD: 2/5 My impression of this restaurant is limited by the quality of their Bi Bim Bap which was subpar. The minced meat was bland and unappetizing. The Bi Bim Bap itself lacked in flavour and at $16, it's too expensive IMHO. There are better options available in the area. This was my first and last trip to this restaurant. SERVICE: 5/5 Very good service.

Came across this place by accident when googling a different Korean restaurant in the area. I ended up booking this one instead and so glad I did! They have the cutest patio ever, it's covered and has string lights. The service was truly great! The devises made sure to check up on us frequently. The food was really good, we liked all of our dishes. I had bibimbap and it was delicious. I also highly recommend seafood omelette. Surprisingly delicious, especially with beer! I'm so glad I've discovered this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of Korean food!

Good Korea food with variety. Their signature is the Korean ginseng soup at $19.95 which is a whole small chicken with stuffed purple rice in the middle, very healthy and tasty. Can easily be shared with two people. They have lots of bibimbap, stew and side dishes. All the food here is pretty good. The restaurant is very clean and nice environment. Only down side is it's a bit pricey for what you get in terms of quantity. Usually a tofu stew (soondubu jigae) is $10-12. Here that charge $15-18. It's lot pricier for the same quantity and similar quality.

Maybe I ordered the wrong things? I had to try their signature dish - Koryo Samgyetang (traditional ginseng chicken soup). It was a whole young chicken stuffed with ginseng, sticky rice, dates, chestnut and herbs. It tasted healthy, but on the small size and also a bit bland and dry. I thought the Korean Short Rib Patties Set would be different. This was described as minced short rib with Korean dates, pine nuts, chestnuts, green onion, with special Korean BBQ sauce. I was disappointed with the "short rib" because it tasted like a hamburger patty with rice rolls and onions. Overall, it was a cozy, clean atmosphere. Standard Korean appetizers is always appreciated. But food here was a bit pricer than most Korean restaurants. The service was a bit slow and it wasn't that busy on a weekday night.

This is my first ever Korean restaurant and I fell in love with Korean food. After this restaurant. The food here is absolutely delicious and nothing tasted bad. The things that I would recommend is there are seafood pancake, Korean, fried chicken and beef stirfry. They also have plenty of other dishes worth trying.

So I tried this restaurant again and this time I order the beef broth soup. When it came the soup was small and they also brought salt and pepper??? I took a sip of the soup it has no taste at all!!! In Chinese it is just a bone and water boil together. This got to be the worst soup I ever tasted and for $18.99????? I WILL NEVER COME AGAIN!!!!!!

Came by on a Friday night and we were able to get a seat fairly easily at 6:30pm. They served us with lots of small dishes - some spicy and some not spicy. The Hot stone japchae dupbap ($16) and Kosam fried chicken ($16) was great, but I thought the Beef noodle soup ($14) fell flat. There was no flavor in the soup broth. Service was great and the restaurant was full when we left at 7:30pm.

We ordered the seafood pancake, fried chicken with peppers, and the dumpling ricecake beef bone soup. It's one of the better beef bone soups I've had as it has enough flavor. The seafood pancake was nice and the fried chicken was decent. I love the assortment of side dishes that are served with your meal and also how you don't smell like korean food after your meal

I remembered having chicken ginseng soup at their original location two years ago and really loved it... but now I've been spoiled by LA ktown, I wasn't sure how it would match up. Verdict - My chicken soup wasn't as milky as ones I had back in LA but still very tasty! The chicken was super tender and juicy. Loved the bursting sticky rice soaking up all the soup! Wished they threw in a couple more chestnuts for additional textual/flavor contrast. The ginseng flavor was so subtle though that I almost missed it. Good for those who aren't crazy about ginseng, bad for those who paid the extra bucks for them! Overall, still a 4 Stars in my book (just like the ones from original location). Aside from the soup, we also shared their seafood scallion pancake, pork tonkatsu, special seoluntang, and bulgogi beef dupbap. Their seoluntang didn't taste like ones we had in la. My husband called it the fusion style? Tasty but not authentic. Seafood scallion pancake consisted of mainly scallions - Kinda small for the price and they forgot to cut it. Will probably skip. Pork tonkatsu - breading fell right apart when you pick up a piece - flavorless without the tonkatsu sauce. Guessed Tonkatsu was not their strong suit. Bulgogi dupbap - good flavor and generous portion of beef! Loved the sizzled crusted rice. Good alternative to those craving bibimbap but don't want all the veggies. Overall - not bad! Would stick to their chicken soups and sizzling rice bowls next! Tip for the winter months - Don't forget to wear an extra jacket or two, no heat in the dining room for even subzero weather.

This is the best samgyaetang I've had since returning from Korea. I would like to have more ginseng, though. Come to think of it, I cannot recall seeing any in the bowl - they must have been rather small pieces. In Seoul, I had gone regularly to a restaurant in nonhyeondong and there would be enormous roots at the bottom of every bowl. Other than the shortage of ginseng, it was pretty good - just a little on the bland side. Also tried the fried chicken - it was good. And the Service was excellent.

This place was OK - the soup was pretty bland didn't really taste like anything special. The best dish was definitely their cheese tonkatsu - MUST TRY!!! Can't go wrong with cheese-filled pork!

It was an okay experience. Service was good. However the soup was way too salty, correct me if I'm wrong, I remember you were supposed to season your own soup with salt before.

Not my favorite ginseng chicken. I had high hopes as Koryo claims to be the best ginseng chicken. Chicken was dry and lacked tenderness, and ginseng flavour was limited to the sticky rice rather than the soup. Not worth the 20$ price tag in my opinion. Otherwise, the side dishes were great and the bibimbap has beautiful color to it! I would recommend this dish. The restaurant is newly renovated with comfortable seating and atmosphere. Overall decent but not my favorite ginseng chicken.

Their menu is not huge, if you like a nice soup or deep fried food, this spot is perfect for you. What I'm most impressed by was the service and the attention to details. The server offered to get me more side dishes, everything looked cleaned, and the quality of their rice was one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant at this price range. I wouldn't say the place is expensive but the price is 10-15% more than the usual Korean restaurants I've visited before; however, I think it's well worth it.

Pros: Very good KFC Friendly service Cons: No dedicated parking near by Lately when it comes to fried chicken, chain places like popeyes, KFC, etc. are just not doing it for me anymore. Luckily, there's a new KFC when it comes to fried chicken, Korean Fried Chicken!! Korean fried chicken has become kind of my go to for my fried chicken needs. Koryo has a great fried chicken that you must try if you're a fan yourself! This place has a lot more seating then you would think looking from the outside. Being a bar, they can easily merge tables for larger groups as well. We were a party of 8 and there was no trouble at all merging tables for us. There were 2 other groups of at least 8 or more to at the same time and there were plenty of seats for everyone during the lunch rush. Koryo's menu features items you would normally find at a Korean restaurant with a few extra items like KFC, samgetang and surprisingly, a millefeuille tonkatsu! There should be something for everyone here. Myu family ordered a bibimbop, an order of mild KFC, and the millefeuille. I was very impressed with the KFC here. It's crispy on the outside, very tender and juicy on the inside. The mild chicken still has a hint of spice so my little ones didn't take to it to well, but any adult fried chicken lover will love it. The millefeuille was pretty good as well. The pork was a little dryer than I would of preferred, but the spinach and cheese stuffing more than make up for it. Someone else in our party ordered a whole fired cornish hen and that was amazing as well! Service here is super friendly. We had two servers who were very patient and helpful throughout our meal. Their English wasn't the strongest, but they took the time to make sure they understood everything. My only gripe is the parking situation. You're either stuck with paid street parking which can get pricey or a side street that's not particularly close to the restaurant. In cold weather with two children, not the most ideal. All in all, I am really a fan of Koryo. That KFC was darn good. The quality of the food here was very impressive. I totally recommend this place to any fried chicken fan!

This restaurant is the restaurant's 2nd location. The first one is located at Leslie and Bayview, this restaurant is at Yonge and Sheppard, right next door to Sushi One and Pizzaiolo. The ambiance of the restaurant is modern and clean. They specialize in Samgyetang which is a whole chicken stuffed with ginseng and other herbs, simmered in broth served bubbling in a hot stone bowl. It is imperial cuisine (high class cuisine) so the prices aren't the cheapest you will find but the quality is definitely there and the taste is delicious. Proper samgyetang will come unsalted so that the person can control the amount of salt they want. Also, proper samgyetang does not come with red sauce to dip the chicken in - The King did not eat spicy foods, 'imperial Korean food' is not spicy. I take the salt and pepper laid out for you on the table and pour a bit on a plate and dip the chicken in that. Some people like to shred the chicken and pick out the bones in the soup and eat it like a chicken porridge. Their side dishes are all proper and very good. They are served in expensive brushed copper plates - exactly the way imperial cuisine should be served. I go often as its so close to work and I'm always in and out in 30 minutes. I think they have one of the best stone bowl bibimbaps in all of Toronto. Today I tried the raw beef stone bowl bibimbap and it was faaantastic. I would definitely go again and we do take clients out here at our company for some very traditional, upscale Korean food.

damn service! We went to eat chicken stew because we were not feeling well. Some waiter asked to us, "Are you done? Do you need anything?"(He wanted us to get out quickly.) But usually restaurants remove dishes after customers leave. There were no new customers arrivals, never not busy in restaurants. He spoke rudely to us again. "Did you pay for it? I'm have to clean up." In the end, he cleaned up the food in front of us. We were embarrassed and very displeased. His service is evict the customers. We just paid the price. But I don't know why we should be treated so badly. We will never go to the restaurant again.

Nice ambience, pretty decent food, good portions, good service. This is a great spot to hang out with a few friends, share a couple dishes, and catch up on life. The prices of some dishes are pretty high but the portions are big, which means.... share the dishes! Their fried chicken doesn't fall short of any fried chicken specialty stores! There are no gimmicky flavor choices, just crispy outer batter and juicy and tender chicken inside. The complementary side dishes are refreshing, weirdly no kimchi? I thought the green onion, chive, and seafood pancake was a little too gooey and lacked a little salt... and I am not a fan of cooked oysters so I didn't enjoy it. The soft tofu stew with beef was very spicy and beefy. The beef flavor is in the soup base which made it very different from the soft tofu stew I had elsewhere, where the focus was more on the super tender tofu. The tofu in this was smooth and has more of a bounce to it. I have a strong suspicion that they use the ones shaped like the tubes you can get from the supermarket xD All my other friends ordered the bibimbap and it looked really good. Think I will try that next time. Or the chicken soup with a whole young chicken.

This place was okay. Got a whole hen in a soup and it was bland with no flavour. I only really liked the free appetizers or side dishes.

The staff were lovely but honestly the food wasn't tasty at all and we got a variety of dishes including the seafood pancake, the rib patty, the bulgogi dubap, and a beef soup. Even the typical side dishes were sub par. It is unfortunate as we were really looking forward to our experience.

Hubby and I have been coming here ever since they opened. This visit however is the first time returning since the rebranding. Fortunately or not fortunately, despite Koryo being renamed KoSam, it still offers the same authentic tasting Korean food including their samgyetang, a Korean ginseng chicken soup made from Cornish hen stuffed with ginseng, sticky rice, korean chestnuts, dates and herbs (my favourite!). I was however disappointed as this dish once only $16 now costs $20 as obviously the rebranding must have came with additional expenses.

Very impressed with the quality of food. I was brought here by a friend who lives nearby of this restaurant. She recommended their chicken soup, which turns out to be really good. It's definitely a rare healthy option for dinner. For me, I had the spicy pork bowl with rice. The bowl was huge and I couldn't finish the meal. It comes with a soup too. I recommend both of the said dishes if anyone decided to give this place a try. I'd personally go back to try other dishes, as they seemed good too from the people that ordered those.

A friend of mine recommended Koryo Restaurant & Bar, so we dropped in, on Fri night. We tried Yang Gom Tang and Cheese Tonkatsu. It was so good! Yang Gom Tang was a little bit spicy for me but it was really worth try it. The intestine in the soup was very chewy and savory. Also Tonkatsu was so crispy. Yum Yum Yum. Overall from my experience from this place, the service and foods was excellent. I'm curious to try it again with my family one of these days.

I usually never write reviews but this restaurant was amazing. By far the best Korean restaurant in all of North York area. My friend and I wanted some Korean food and this has a special place in my heart. The quality of the food is incredible and clean, and it taste's like a wholesome home-cooked warm meal. Staff is super friendly and kind and accommodated well to my needs. They have a pretty good variety of dishes so there's something for everyone. Overall, I'm definitely going to pop by this place again with a larger group of friends.

I was attending a course in the area so I decided to finally try this restaurant. I've ordered the beef bulgogi, the sauce was nicely done in terms of flavour, the beef was a bit tough, so I had to pick the small slices to eat. The side dishes you can refill. I did find the lettuce salad interesting where they used a sesame mayo dressing. The fish a peanut side dish was good too. The food came fast and i was pressed on time so as soon as I food landed, I've asked for the bill. In and out only took me 35 mins. So I will give this a 3.5 and I will come back to try the abalone chicken soup!

Really decent Korean food in the Willowdale neighborhood. I brought 2 picky eater friends here and they really liked it. Their banchan is actually my favorite. I find all Korean restaurants serve slightly different banchan in general. Some places offer sweet peanuts, others radish etc. Koryo has these yummy glass noodles which I think are made from potato and also spicy cucumbers that one of my picky eater friends kept eating. The two main dishes I have tried was a simple kimchi fried rice and also a soft tofu stew. Both were really pretty good in terms of flavor. I have to also add Koryo's atmosphere is really nice and comforting. The wooden interior and the lighting, super chill. I'm sure there is tons of other Korean restaurants to pick from on that street, but Koryo is the closest to my work and they have not let me down so far. Highly recommend.

Chicken soup and bimbimbap were very good. The chicken soup is very flavourful but the flavour was from the ingredients and not added taste. Bimbimbap is filled with toppings. I especially like the marinated mushrooms. They taste so good with the rice. Tonkatsu was just okay though. Maybe I'm just not a big fan of tonkatsu in general. I didn't think it was any special. We ordered the cheese tonkatsu.

4.5 Excellent restaurant overall! Great unique side dishes: sweet black beans, refreshing eggplant, and a japchae loaded with mushrooms & veggies. The chicken in the samgyetang melts in your mouth as you eat it and the soon tofu broth has a wonderful rich flavour. Friendly servers greet you at the door, nice decor and plates. A little higher in price compared to korean restaurants in the area (~$50 for 2 people) but definitely worth it!

Came here for a family dinner of 5 on a friday night. The female waitress that was serving us had amazing customer service - her alone would deserve a 5 star rating! Clean modern decor. Their bowls, cups, plates and cutlery is much nicer & higher quality then most reg korean restaurants. Loved the wide variety of food - didnt get a chance to actually try the fried items due to my cold but everything i had was tasty! Their battered honey and butter chicken was a huge hit as per my family!

This place opened last Saturday and I think it's a pretty nice place. The place is really clean, cozy looking, and spacious. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap. It was a big portion and I was definitely full. Their side dishes were also really good (and of course, free refills on those). The servers are really friendly and attentive.

Came here for lunch with my friends and had the veggie bibimbop. I enjoyed the side dishes especially the potato dish. Food is pretty good, place was clean, order came out pretty quick and staff was friendly.

Let me preface this review and say that I have never been crazy about Korean food, but I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere here. Staff: There was only two people. Could be a little more efficient in terms of seating, but they were attentive (they even wiped up a minor tea spill I made, without me asking them). Ambience: It was clean and comfy. I found it odd I wasn't using Korean chopsticks though, but at the same time, I didn't really mind. Food: I ordered the Tonkatsu with Cheese, the Beef Noodle Soup, and Kosam Honey Butter Chicken. The Beef Noodle Soup really hits the spot for me. There wasn't too much soup, the broth was good, the noodles were aplenty and the beef was nice. The Tonkatsu was delicious. The chicken was the best. It was soft and the sweetness from the honey butter definitely made each bit perfect. Highly recommend!
