Roadside Korean Gem: Gangnam Korea - Your Highway Comfort Food Stop
š Location & Vibe Nestled along Highway 60 (between Huntsville and Algonquin Park), this unassuming Korean spot is the perfect pit stop for road trippers. The no-frills interior features plastic-covered tables and K-pop posters, creating an authentic "hole-in-the-wall" atmosphere that regulars swear by. š„ Must-Try Dishes 1ļøā£ Spicy Pork Bone Soup ($14.99) Slow-simmered for 12+ hours until the meat literally falls off the bone Customizable spice levels (mild to "fire breathing" - ask for level 3 if you dare) Comes with chewy rice cakes, potatoes, and 6 rotating banchan (the kimchi is made weekly in-house) 2ļøā£ Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken ($18.99 half/$32.99 whole) Double-fried for extra crispiness, then tossed in house-made gochujang sauce Pro tip: Ask for "sauce on side" to maintain crunch during your drive Serves 2-3 people easily (leftovers make great next-day snacks) š£ļø Road Trip Perks Just 300m from the nearest Petro-Canada station Open late (until 11pm on weekends) for post-camping cravings Quick service - most orders ready in <15 minutes ā ļø Important Notes Cash-only policy (ATM available next door at Mac's Convenience) Limited seating (just 8 tables) - consider takeout during peak hours Weekday lunch specials ($9.99 soup+rice combos) š± Secret Menu Regulars know to ask for: Army stew (available off-menu October-March) Extra banchan for $1.99/side š° Value Rating While not gourmet, the generous portions and authentic flavors make this a solid 7.5/10 for highway dining. The $20 "Feast for Two" combo (soup+half chicken+4 banchan) is arguably the best value within 50km. #OntarioRoadTrips #AlgonquinEats #KoreanSoulFood #BudgetTravel #HighwayHiddenGem
