Sushi & Bbbop — Restaurant in Toronto

During my visits to the hospital in Toronto I had a craving for Korean gimbap - and this was the location that was closest to me. I had read the reviews and they seemed relatively positive so I decided to give this place a try, not sure what to expect as I didn't realize that this was located inside a shopping center inside a food court.

I am not going to lie, not being familiar with the area I was a little lost and had a hard time finding it but luckily one of the shopping centers security guards helped me find my way. I was a little taken back that it brought me to what seemed like a basement Shopping Center that was dimly lit, low traffic, and a lot of either closed or empty stores. I was a little bit weary but I decided to stick it through when I got to the food court I noticed that they were only three locations that were open all other food stalls looks like they were inoperable.

However despite the atmosphere of the shopping center and the food court itself I was very pleasantly surprised with this place, being sure not to judge a book by its cover.

The pricing was great, the cleanliness and the atmosphere of the food stall itself was also great. I feel this food vendor could do really well in a more popular place that being said there wasn't a lot of foot traffic during the time that I was there but there was delivery services coming through.

I ordered the bulgogi gimbap. As mentioned previously the pricing was well affordable, with 10 rolls in a order and good size. My order was fresh and the person who prepared my order was very quick and super polite. I ended up actually ordering a second order for later because I enjoyed it so much. The rolls tasted just like how my Korean grandmother would make them.

Not only was the food great, but the service was amazing too. I believe the owner of the shop was the one who came out and talked to my little one and gave him a lollipop which of course my little one enjoyed! Which made my experience a little bit more personal and comforting.

Overall I'd recommend this place for sure, and I'll be sure to visit...

This was a very surprising find. We were in the area and were super hungry. We saw all the great reviews and decided we will eat here. This is the basement of the aura building. Its just a small shop in an odd food court. Its truly a mom and pop shop. You see lots of people coming and speaking to the friendly owner. That itself was an indicator that place has its loyal customer base. We asked for extra spicy but of course in Korean food, spicy takes the form of sweet. Their gochujang is flavorful and is probably homemade.

We enjoyed that we also got miso soup which was really good! We loved the quantity and the taste. Veggies were crunchy and the egg was perfectly runny. We didn't sit in the food court. We took our food to the college park area and enjoyed. Now we can't wait to come back and try other things...

I love the food and the wonderful owners. For a tiny spot in a food court basement I didn't expect much. The Korean hospitality is top notch, they always insist that you have your meal for here because they can give you a bigger portion. I regularly go there of the 'Raw Veggie Bowl'. It doesn't sound like much but the textures, ground nuts chia seed and the unique 'homemade soy sauce' is the perfect fresh combination. Also this dish is vegan and I always feel satisfied after eating it. I see all the other beautiful dishes they make but I haven't tried them because I like their 'Raw Veggie Bowl' so much. A great spot to get lunch in the 10$ range super healthy and made with so much love an attentiveness. Run by a wonderful couple with so much energy (you wouldn't know it but they are both...
