🇰🇷 Toronto’s Most Famous Korean Spot – Jin Dal Lae Review!

📍Jin Dal Lae Korean Restaurant 647 Bloor St W, Toronto Even JJ Lin waited in line here – this 40-year-old Koreatown legend serves classic homestyle dishes with celebrity-approved cred. 🏆 Why It’s Special ✔ Korean grandma vibes – steamy windows, sizzling stone pots, JJ’s autograph on the wall ✔ Late-night friendly – open till 2AM (post-clubbing jjigae cravings, anyone?) ✔ Signature fame – thickest seafood pancake in the city 🥢 JJ Lin’s (and Our) Order 🦑 Spicy Pork & Squid Stir-Fry ($24) ★★★★★ Sweet-gochujang glaze, chewy squid, crisp veggies – rice thief alert. 🥞 Seafood Pancake ($18) ★★★★★ Crisp-edged, stuffed with octopus/shrimp, 1-inch thick – best in Toronto. 🍲 Budae Jjigae ($28) ★★★★☆ Spam, baked beans, ramen noodles, melty cheese – Korean comfort 101. 🥩 Galbi ($32) ★★☆☆☆ Chewy short ribs, lackluster marinade – skip for Cho Sun Ok’s version. 🍖 Pork Bone Soup ($20) ★★★☆☆ Good but not great – Sunny Dragon’s broth runs deeper. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Beat the line: Weekdays 5PM or post-10PM ✔ JJ tribute: Table #12 is where he sat (and signed!) 💰 Damage: ~$25-40 per person #TorontoEats #Koreatown #JJLinApproved
