From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive and courteous, contributing positively to our dining experience.
The restaurant’s ambience was warm and inviting, though the room temperature felt slightly too warm for comfort. Adjusting the air conditioning to a cooler setting would enhance the overall atmosphere, especially during Summer.
Dumpling Soon Tofu: (Dumpling, Beef + Hot Stone Pot Rice) This dish was a standout, delivering a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. The tofu was silky smooth and gently spiced, perfectly complemented by tender dumplings and savory beef. The hot stone pot rice added a delightful crispy layer at the bottom, enhancing the dish’s complexity and warmth
Seafood Soon Tofu: (Shrimp, Mussel, Oyster + Hot Stone Pot Rice) A seafood lover's dream! The broth was rich, spicy, and fragrant, infused with the natural sweetness of fresh shrimp, mussels, and oysters. The hot stone pot kept everything hot and bubbling, enhancing the textures and flavors with every bite.
Chicken Wings: These wings are truly exceptional, I personally rank the dish among the best in the Greater Toronto Area. Crispy on the outside yet juicy inside, they were perfectly seasoned with a balanced blend of spices that left a memorable impression.
Boneless Snowing Chicken: Not as good as the Chicken Wings in my opinion, but the chicken was tender, juicy, and coated in a deliciously savory glaze that melted in your mouth.
Fried Dumplings: Served crispy and hot, they were satisfying and executed well.
I’m already looking forward to returning and trying other dishes on their menu. If you're a fan of hearty, flavorful comfort Korean food, this place should definitely be...
Read moreWe were looking for Korean restaurant open on Jan 2 and came across this restaurant. The restaurant was relatively busy and lots of tables had dishes not collected. It looks like they understaffed today.
We ordered #1 combination Soon tofu (beef, shrimp, mussel) $15.95 served with purple rice in hot stone pot rice. #11 Pork bone potato soup with hot stone pot rice $16.95. Fried chicken wings (6 pc) $14.
The soups were tasty and served bubbling hot. The hot stone rice had crispy crusty rice, but we felt the serving was not enough. My combination Soon Tofu had a spicy broth even though I asked for mild. There was lots of tofu, small slices of beef, 3 pcs of mussels, and 1 tiny little shrimp. The portion size was underwhelming, although i did enjoy the savoury broth.
My wife had the pork bone soup with 2 large meaty pieces of pork bone and bean sprouts on top. I didn't see any potatoes in the soup.
The soy garlic chicken wings were crispy and juicy with a sort of sweet and savoury sauce. The sauce looked very watery, but we enjoyed the wings.
Overall, the bill came up to $53 taxes included which is very steep for just 2 bowls of soup and 6 chicken wings. Although the food didn't disappoint, it left us wanting more. The banchan was only baked beans, pickled turnip, and kimchi. Nothing stands out here. The menu is very simple and lacks options. There are a few rice dishes like bulgogi, spicy pork, and squid.
If you're looking for a variety of Soon Tofu soups, then give this place a try. This place did not hit the right spot from a value to price ratio. With a limited menu, I won't be...
Read moreFirst time ordering from this restaurant. Won’t be my last. Reviews were good so thought to give it a try as it is close to my place. Ordered the Special #5 [2 tofu soup bowls (each comes with a bowl of rice), 6 chicken wings, box of boneless snowing chicken, box of 6 beef dumplings]. Soup was very tasty. Both of us ordered medium heat and was happy we didn’t get hotter. I had the combination tofu soup - came with one small shrimp and two mussels and quite a bit of beef. Spouse had the kimchi tofu soup which he enjoyed. Came with an egg in the middle. He did comment that he did not quite like the taste of the condiment kimchi that came on the side. The boneless snowing cheese fried chicken was so tasty and sweet! Loved it! Fried chicken wings were really good. Nice and crunchy, moist inside. Beef dumplings were nice too. Two of us could not finish this meal, will be good to share with my son next time. Pickup was ready and waiting in 15 mins. Great service. Just a bit of difficulty putting in order over the phone due to language but we got by. No biggie. Had tried to order online but if you need to specify what soups you want and spiciness, instructions are in Korean, so had to call in. Definitely will return. Great taste,...
