Jin Myungdong Korean Noodles (진 명동 칼국수)

They serve limited varieties of Korean food, but for what they serve, I liked them all! There are many Koreans customers, which is a great indication of authenticity. 😄👍 The place is quite busy and don’t seem to accept advance booking. The dumplings were delicious and the Korean noodles were very good (better than the Ramen). Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures. Ha, my wife took two pictures!😄 By the way, we’re allergic with mono sodium glutamate, feeling really thirsty afterwards. We drank all the soup and didn’t feel thirsty at all! 👍

This place has the best Korean soup noodles, they have amazing cold and hot noodles for both the cold and hot weathers. I love coming here for their noodles as that’s what they’re known for, I also love to get a side of their bossam as a combo. Their kimchi is soo yummy and they are very generous giving you a large portion of it. During peak hours there is usually a wait time so be prepared to wait if you’re going on the weekends or during dinner times. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for some yummy noodles, the servers are the nicest and cutest Korean ladies!

It was my first time having kalguksu and am very glad it was here! We did have to wait for a table for about half an hour, but it was worth it. Their menu has a decent selection and everything we got from the noodles to the king dumplings to the bulgogi was great.

This place has a ton of lineups for good reason. They have really good kalguksu, but the best part is the huge amount of kimchi they give you which is honestly the best kimchi i’ve ever had - it’s really fresh (not too sour) with a strong garlic taste). I’m glad they changed their lineup system from the whiteboard to a digital one where they text you when your table is ready.

Bulgogi & Kalguksu (Korean Knife Cut Noodle Soup) Combo was mostly good but with a miss. The Kalguksu was good overall with great noodle texture that paired good with the hearty and savoury beef bone soup. The kimchi and side dishes were delicious. However, the bulgogi was a miss. It was a bit overcooked making it a bit tough in texture. The onions in the bulgogi were undercooked which resulted in a raw onion taste instead of the onions soaking up the savoury bulgogi sauce. The Tteokguk (Rice Cake) Soup with Mandoo (Korean dumplings) was awesome. The rice cake was perfectly cooked with great texture. It went well with savoury beef bone soup. The large Mandoos were delicious and savoury. Would recommend to cut the large mandoo in half and eat with a kimchi piece… so good :)

Came here on Saturday for brunch near opening time and we had to enter a waitlist on the store iPad to be in line. It’s hard to tell where you are on the waitlist and approx how long the wait time is but we trusted the process and received a text that our table was ready in about 20 mins. We tried the kalguksu + bulgogi combo and also ordered dumplings all to share between two people. The kimchi is spectacular as expected in these restaurants. The kalguksu soup was super rich and peppery, just so perfect for a cold day and the dumpling did not disappoint! Bulgogi was also delicious and I wish the portion was bigger!

Food was delicious and good flavour. Highly recommend that you try the kimchi (included in meals). One of the best kimchi in the GTA. Good value and they got a cash discount as well.

The food here was pretty good. I really enjoyed it and the prices were fair. My small complaint here was that the Kalguksu and Bulgogi & Kalguksu combos that my wife and I ordered were a bit spicy, but the description didn't say that it was. This normally wouldn't be an issue, except our daughter wanted to try the noodles (she got the Rice Cake Soup) and it was a bit more kick than she can handle (or expected). This being our first time here, I can't tell you if that's the norm or the unfortunate result of accidental cross contamination from a ladle (?) that was used for spicy soup. Service was good, although, they made us register/take a number with the machine out front despite there being open tables with no lineups *shrug* I will say though, that I do like the decor and how bright this place was.
