Toronto’s "5+ Visits" Club: Hanyang Jokbal – A Spicy Love Story 🌶️

📍 Hanyang Jokbal (North York & Scarborough) 👩🍳 My Cred: • Ex-Mississauga resident (will trek north for good food) • Hunan-born spice addict with a sweet tooth 🕰️ History Lesson: First visited in 2019 (yes, I’m a veteran), still going strong in 2024. Once a lineup nightmare, now just reliably packed. 🔥 MUST-ORDERS: 1. Half-Half Pork Hock ($38-42) • Spicy + BBQ combo – The OG champion. • Garlic version – Delicious but kiss your social life goodbye. • Pro tip: Skip add-ons like cheese (overkill), stick to sausages. 2. Seafood Pancake ($18) Crispy edges, tender squid – the best in the GTA. 3. DIY Tuna Rice Balls ($12) Shape them small to avoid mayo fatigue. 4. Pork Belly (for non-fat-phobes) My friends swear by it – I steal the lean bits. ❌ Skip: Cold noodles & fish cake soup (meh). 💥 Hidden Gem: The free spicy broth (nuclear heat level – my Hunan soul approves). 📸 Why It’s Special: Celebrated exams, farewells, and first dates here. 5 years of memories, zero nostalgia bias – it’s just that consistent. 🗨️ Your Turn: What’s your most-revisited spot?
