Jin Myungdong Korean Noodles 진 명동 칼국수

Good portion for pricing. There's a definite wait for a table (not much space to wait indoors)

It was getting a bit chilly in Toronto so we wanted something to warm us up a bit and decided to try Jin Korean Noodles based on some travel videos.What we got:#1 Kalguksu#16 Bossam Kalguksu Combo#18 Marinated Sliced Pork#24 BossamWe arrived on a Monday afternoon and we waited for 10 minutes. We got the #16 #18. Service was friendly and quick! We enjoyed the food so much we went back again before we left Toronto and got our own #1s and split a #24. The broth of the Kalguksu was simple but very tasty the noodles were soft and chewy. Having their Kalguksu was warming my soul! The pork was also good but the star was the Bossam! The pieces were so soft and tender and the sauces- especially the shrimp sauce- with the house kimchi was everythingggg!

W tastes good. Nice ambiance and service is nice I guess. For me the food is the most important though especially for Asian restaurants.Kalguksu: Tastes good and hearty I mean it's noodles. Broth is slightly spicy and a good amount of salty, and the noodles are sproingy. 7.3/10Bulgogi: Tastes like typical run of the mill bulgogi. 6.9/10Kimchi for some reason is really sweet and crunchy, but not very fermented or sour. Probably the sweetest kimchi I've had for a korean restaurant.

Value, tons of food for good fair price. Everything seasoned well. Good variety of sides and they included kimchi. Albeit a little small, not a lot of seats for how popular they are, they manage.

Surprisingly good Korean noodle place.Once you place your order, it will come at once steaming hot within minutes. They have a pot of nice kimchi for you. Their Gyoza are huge so if you think it's pricey, it's for a reason. I tried their spicy noodle, with good a good level of spiciness.Dumplings, steam pork (for 2) and noodles are the must try items. Don't get me wrong, other items are good too.The area sits 2-4 people, so no big parties.They don't take reservations, they don't allow you to go in without your full party and they expect you to leave right after finishing your meal because they are very busy (they are polite and don't rush you to settle your bill).
