Popped into this restaurant at a random time 3pm ish and since I wanted some food with soup but not spicy, I chose 콩나물 해장국. Although it’s called hangover soup, it doesn’t mean that you only eat it after hangover. Soup is not spicy and packed with bean sprouts, squid and beef. The set came with a raw egg for you to crack it and put it in the soup while the soup was still piping hot. Seriously the soup was really hearty and not spicy so kids can also eat this. Surprisingly there were lots of squid in the soup. Just think that the serving of the side dishes was a bit small but the soup itself was a big serving.

Food was nice and good service. The ambience made me feel like I was eating in a restaurant in Korea. Had the Spicy Fried Chicken, it was saucy but not spicy enough. Also had the Jap Che which was tasty but very peppery and bit too oily for my liking. Overall a nice experience and I would say great place for late night supper. Will satisfy your cravings..

First time to try IL Mee and I ordered the Bibimbap. The taste is okay but nothing spectacular considering the price. My friends doesn’t like it that much as it was too spicy even though they asked it to be the normal Korean spicy — it could be the normal one but they weren’t happy. The staff on the other hand was very, very nice and welcoming hence the 4 star rating.
Great service - the lady asked us if we wanted to move from the less private middle tables to the more private and generally better decorated side tables when she saw they were cleaned.
Nice and shiny menus - really changes the feel of a place! Also a well-lit menu display outside, with a warm and welcoming, traditionally-decorated interior.
Great food - my Chicken Bokkeum was hot, sizzling, and full of flavour and spice. Side dishes average. Would have loved more rice to go with the bountiful dish!
OVERALL: Would definitely recommend this place and would come again.
Came for lunch and decided to come here instead of the other Korean restaurants because it's been there since 1992 (according to the sign).
It wasn't busy so I was able to get a table and was able to order when I was ready.
Good yangnyeom fried chicken nibbles. It was sweet but not very spicy but did have good crispness. I was quite disappointed with the seafood pancake. It tasted mostly of the frozen shrimps and the batter was a bit dry. It didn't have the crispness and chewiness I've had before. The bibimnengmyon was really nice. It is a spicy but cold noodle dish with pulled beef and egg. The noodles had a really nice chewiness and mouthfeel. The soup itself wasn't very beefy but went really well with the noodles with the hot mustard served alongside it. I was actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed it.
It is a nice option for a Korean meal in the city as the prices are quite good with most items under $20.
Tried all on upper queen street, but this one is the best!
Maybe not authethic but cmn the food
is good!!! What else do we need? Staff is very friendly and attentive! Alwaus go there if craving for korean
I love this restaurant. It's small but gosh always packed with people. I've eaten here three times before and still love to come back for another visit. I usually order the rice cake dish teobokki. It's so yum and the little side dishes that come with it are just delicious. The staff is friendly and atmosphere warm. I should try the other meals on the menu but at this moment in time I'm very much addicted to rice cakes:)
Very very tasty and yummy.
I love the korean pork bone soup. Great for any occasion. The meat falls off and is great as a nibble.
Cold noodles are my wife’s favorite, add some mustard and chop it up. Chewy and yummy as a cold summer snack.
The bbq dishes are good too. Nothing disappoints. Pretty staff too! Bonus!

I visited on a Sunday evening with my family. Ambience is good and it seems to be a family run restaurant. They serve good quality Korean food. I personally liked the Chicken-katsu. Will be back soon to try out the other items on the menu.

Went to this place as Dae Ga was not opened, however the pork bone soup was surprisingly nice! Great service, kind and polite waitress, we enjoyed our meal today.
Absolutely yummy food was awesome night out with my Korean lady friend on down town city. Reasonable very affordable to have dinner. Dinner served sizzling on hot bowl. Hot and spicy food. Yummy check it out if you love Korean food
If you want fried chicken, this is the place to be. Golden and crunchy yet moist on the inside. The dolsat bimbimbap was also very good. The side dishes could be improved as variety was average and Kim chi was bitter. However, I'll definitely be back.
tasty korean menu with decent portion size meals
Came in at almost closing time, they still cooked us an amazing meal
Delicious Korean BBQ food!
