Iryewon

Visited this place just before noon today, around the time they opened. Ordered black bean noodles and it came out really fast with noodle that was soggy and stale. Really ruined our experience with this place as it gave us the impression that they were serving us left over food from the day before.

Please watch out what you’re eating. I’ve been a big fan of this restaurant, but my recent visit on December 10th at 8pm was shocking…While finishing my meal, I found a piece of a stainless steel scrubber in my food—and I had already chewed on it. Earlier, I also noticed an eyelash on the yellow radish side dish, which I let slide, but the scrubber was impossible to ignore. When I reported it to the server and asked for a refund, the main cook came out and rudely dismissed the issue, saying, “It could happen,” as if this was no big deal. Finding something like this in food is unacceptable, and the lack of apology or accountability made it worse. Please keep an eye on what you’re eating in this place.

Nice food. Not too strong in flavor like other Chinese cuisine. Deep-fried dishes are not really crispy but instead soft and puffy, which is not my favorite. However, their noodles are good. I recommend trying out the spicy seafood noodles.

Aug 24, 2024 (1st visit): We were craving some good jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and this place hit the spot. Would recommend the family jajangmyeon for two where you get the smoky black bean sauce that is pan fried with seafood :) We also had the tang su yuk which is the crispy fried pork with Korean sweet and sour sauce. It was delicious. Would recommend getting the sauce on the side so you can dip the crispy fried pork into the sweet and sour sauce each time. 2nd visit (Sept 24, 2024): The family jajangmyeon for two (black bean noodles) was awesome as usual. However, we felt that the noodle portion got smaller. We tried the Yu rin ki (fried chicken in hot and sour soy sauce). The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and moist inside. The hot and sour soy sauce was a perfect complement to the fried chicken. Would recommend to get the sauce on the side so you can dip the crispy fried chicken into the hot and sour soy sauce each time.

Was craving for jajangmyeon and this place hit the spot for me. Had their sweet and sour pork wknd special dish too (forgot what the dish is called); it paired well with the noodles. Their kimchi is very good here; no poppy taste, just spicy, savoury and a bit garlicky. Quick service. They have melamine bowls and plates, which is nice for young kids.

We made a reservation but still had to wait for a table which defeats the whole purpose of making one in the first place. After getting seated, no one came to take our order for over 10 minutes so we had to wave someone down. Once we ordered, one of the items took so long to arrive that we had to remind them and it basically came at the end after we already ate everything else. The food itself was very good except for the tangsooyuk, it was very dry and hard. Kampoongi, jajangmyeon, and yuringi were very delicious.

I think this restaurant serves the best Jjamppong 짬뽕 in Toronto so far.. The flavour of the broth itself differs from the other ones I’ve had, spicy at first but then the joy of the deep seafood aroma makes for a pleasant experience. The seafood itself is cooked to perfection too! You’ll usually find the squid to be too chewy because they’ve been over cooked but not here. It was so soft and delicate I was very impressed to say the least. Their Kam pung shrimp 깐풍새우 and Seafood fried rice 삼선볶음밥 was also delicious. The fried rice comes with a side of jjajang sauce and jjamppong soup! Can’t wait to return to try their other menu items

Have you been watching kshows and been craving jajangmyun and tangsuyuk? This place will fulfill your k-drama food fantasies! It is difficult to find a Korean Chinese restaurant and this place is a gem. The portions are humongous. We ordered Course A which includes Tangsuyuk, Spicy Fried Chicken and Family Ja Jang. It costs $59.99 pre-tax. Also if you pay cash they give you 5% off. On the menu the dishes were described as small size but the portions were giant. The fried dishes were piping hot! You can tell that they were made fresh. I loved the sweet and tangy chicken dish especially with the touches of water chestnut. The tangsuyuk was honestly a bit on the tough side. What I did really appreciate is that the poured only on one side so you have the option to dip as well for those that prefer to eat it that way. The Ja Jang was a giant portion mixed with shrimp, diced meat, squid and a ton of onions. Very delicious but super heavy. Definately a large portion to share among 4 people. I would recommend this spot even though the prices have increased a lot in the past 3 years since they opened. FYI when we went their card machine was not working so they only took cash or e-transfers at the time.
