Located in the 3rd floor food count in World Shops on Yonge, is this little dumpling shop. We were on our way home and decided to grab something to go (we were about ~25 min drive from home)
Service was friendly and not a large menu, but who cares as long as they get the dumplings right. Food was made to order so expect a ~10 min wait.
We got the steamed pork dumplings which I thought were really good even ~30 min later.
We also got 2 red bean and 2 pork buns -- which I though were average. Maybe if we had them there when they were fresh, it might be really good, but after ~30 min, they were just average.
The donut twists were quite good. We got a cream cheese, red bean, and sugar. It was still pretty soft and a bit chewy....
Read moreIf you’re planning on having a cheat day (and I’m talking about food here) then head on over to Goobok. Their carby deliciousness does not disappoint. They’re buns are twice as big as expected - again referring to the FOOD ;) So filling. I got 10 (they come in orders of 5) and I wanted to try a few different flavours. I got vegetarian and kimchi- the kimchi had a nice spice factor. They provided a bright, yellow crunchy pickled radish which was a nice addition. I ALSO got a green tea twisty donut that was sooooo gooood. Service was lovely. Only waited 5 min. They were slightly busy on a Wednesday at 1pm. Will come back for the dumplings SOOOOOON. Oh and you can order from Fantuan Delivery if you don’t wanna come to...
Read moreThe flavours were extremely fresh and was at the level of homemade,(at least in my family): they were simple but extremely tasty.
I had the shrimp dumplings (loved the chives in them), the kimchi dumplings and the veggie buns. I loved them all! full of savoury flavour, the veggie dumplings would probably make my vegetarian friends drool. The twisted donuts were good, but the dumplings and buns were more enjoyable. I had the sugar twisted donut, which reminded me of churros, and a cheese, which was more savoury that sweet. I will be going back! It's a new Korean favourite of mine.
Warning: the buns and dumplings are extremely temperature hot! They need a bit of time...
