The waitress is always hungry for tips. Asking for tips and looking precisely into your bill to understand your tip amount.

Had a wonderful lunch in this restaurant. We ordered 육개장 (Yook Kae Jang) and Fried Chicken. The food was really delicious and homey. Felt comforted after eating their food. The flavors were amazing, and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be returning for more delicious meals. Highly recommended!

Actually amazing and you'd never know it unless taking the chance to eat here. I had a Disney Ratatouille moment

A good place to enjoy Korean food, located at the corner of Yonge St.and Drewry Ave.in Toronto. Food is really good, spicy and crunchy.

This is it!
You don't need to sacrifice taste cuz you're in other country. This is the best place to enjoy Korean cuisine.
You can find cheap eats, and you get what you pay for. This restaurant is absolutely not one of them. You can enjoy fine, flavoursome meals at a decent price. Worth to pay, highly recommend to anyone who misses the original, Korean food taste!

It's the first time I've been to such a delicious place in Toronto.
It's hard to find a restaurant like this in Korea these days.
(Those who have recently come from Korea will know what I mean)
I've eaten almost all kinds of meat and soup, but it really tastes like I had at a Korean restaurant. The basic side dishes are delicious and the kimchi is also delicious. Eating out is all sweet and salty and tastes similar, but this is not the case. I've tried many things, but basically, I use ingredients and seasoning sparingly. The meat and vegetables are fresh and don't smell. These days, you can't even buy a sandwich with 10 bucks, but I think this price is reasonable. Somehow.other restaurants were empty without customers, but only this one had customers.something only I didn't know.

The hotpot-type braised flounder is a highly recommended menu that you can enjoy really deliciously until you empty it while putting it on low heat.
It felt like I was enjoying myself at a Korean delicacy house.
I want to try the hairtail hotpot next time.

I use to LOVE coming here before the renovations. The prices were reasonable and food was delicious but after the renovations (this was way before the recent inflation) the prices on everything went so high especially on my most favourite dish chicken kanpoongi! Its soo expensive to buy that dish now! Not fair. Id love to come back but the high price turns me away.

Amazing Korean BBQ. Service was friendly, food was delicious, and atmosphere was great. We will be back to try more entrees … only comment is it was hard to not eat too much!:)

If it weren't for the other Korean restaurants being closed on Tuesdays, I might not have stumbled across this establishment. On the outside, it just seems like your typical Korean restaurant but wow, their menu is HUGE. The staff here aren't very fluent in English, which is a quiet confirmation that this place is going to be good (lol). Anyhow, a lot of their dishes for sharing are huge, we had to request for something small that would be suitable for 2 people. Some tables are set up for kbbq, but we only wanted something simple. I've never had the Al Tang (spicy pollock roe stew), so when the waitress recommended it, I was like.woah lol. They packed it with tons of roe and personally, I don't think everyone will like it (for the rough and funny texture), definitely something new for me.

The portions for all their dishes are pretty large, and at $25/person, we were definitely well fed. We even packed some food home for lunch. I wasn't as impressed by the side dishes, where are my favourite sweet potatoes and seaweed? Their service was pretty good, just remember to press the bell behind you to get their attention. This place deserves a solid 3.5 stars, but giving them that extra push for having good customer service and large portions:)

Very great place for birthdays and friends and family events. Service is very good and fast. Even assist in guiding new kbbq grillers by starting the first grill once it comes in! Went there 10+ times and service and the food is consistent and great! Must recommend for families and as a date spot

The bibimbap was delicious and satisfying. I found it to be the perfect amount for me. The presentation was also great. Unfortunately, I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic. It was the perfect dinner on a chilly night. We ordered from Uber eats without an issue. I didn't try it but my daughter said the pork bone soup was also great!

My friend and I visited this restaurant around a week ago in an afternoon. We were hungry and craving delicious and authentic Korean food, so we decided to visit this restaurant. My friend told me she loves this restaurant and often goes here for a good meal. That being said, this was my first time trying this restaurant. However, unfortunately, the food is not that great. Plus we didn't even finish our food yet, but the server came up to our table and handed us the bill and the card machine. And we looked around the restaurant, there was only one table (except us) occupied, and no wait line in/outside of the restaurant.

I genuinely would like to know why this happened. Maybe the kitchen is busy? Or was it about to close before the stated close time? I honestly have no idea. It was such a disappointing experience. I always love visiting Korean restaurants because of their welcoming service and, of course, the food. But this one, I just feel confused and disappointed.

I came here on a Tuesday evening with my family. It wasn't too busy when we arrived so we were seated fairly quickly. Cho Won is a super friendly family owned business which is hidden from the main street of Yonge St. The entrance is off to a smaller street on Drewry Ave and it has free parking in front of the restaurant.

We ordered the Mandoo Jungol which is a dumpling soup with vegetables in hot pot. As with a typical Korean hot pot, it is loaded with a variety of ingredients such as tofu, mushrooms and green vegetables.

The dumplings was very filling and filled with deliciousness. There were no spiciness added to this jungol which are perfect for those individuals who are non-spicy lovers. We ended up ordering an extra noodle because there wasn't enough but the portion size is good for two people. Unfortunately, it doesn't include rice. There are other Korean hot pot places that do include rice.

It comes with side dishes (banchan) that include tofu, spicy cucumber salad, kimchi, bean sprouts, soy braised peanuts and braised potatoes. These 6 side dishes can be refillable so feel free to eat as much as your heart's content.

Our family loved the dumpling hot pot more because it was easier on our weight (after the fact) and tasted healthier. For the price it was listed at ($38.99), I would say it was worth it and would recommend giving this a try.

Overall, the service was friendly and they had a button to call the server over. I definitely would come again to try out their Korean BBQ experience.

Our favorite spot for Korean food! Always delicious and fresh, very friendly staff! We love this place ️

I love korean food and i have my usual go to spots but none of them were nearby. All I can say is. Whatever you do.do not miss out on this place. It's a tiny little place with some really good Korean dishes with tables set up for BBQ if that is your thing. I highly recommend the pork bone soup. The broth of the soup was so rich and delicious and the meat came off the bones effortless. Also.the staff are super quiet but ever soo adorable. I'll be back again 100%

When it was opened for dine-in, I would give it 4 stars. The quality and quantity of the takeout food is not deserving of 4 stars.

I'll be honest, I only order one item from this place: kkanpunggi, spicy garlic fried chicken. It's not cheap, but the portion is generous for family meal. Even an hour after takeout, the chicken was still tasty and not soggy (imagine how it would have been if I ate it in the restaurant right away). This food should be their primary offering, and everyone should get a taste.

I found hair in my food again. This is my third time seeing hair in my foods. When I picked up my foods i can see the kitchen employee was working without a mask and hat. No doubt why I continuously find hair in my food.

Big fan of Cho Won. Great Korean food. I can't think of a single dish that I dislike at this place. They also have a good selection of Korean drinks. Definitely recommend the Samgyeopsal and the Tteokbokki

This is an awsome place. The hospitality is great, the staffs kind and the food is absolutely fantastic. My personal choice the kimchi rice with chicken took my heart away! Guys highly recommend this place for anyone who loves good food and great time with friends and family!?
