Warm, informal ambiance. Staff very attentive.Orders arrived promptly, served at a rolling boil, meat still sizzling, vegetables crackling hot, on stoneware and cast-iron dishes, the style Owl is truly famous for. Oddly contrasted by their choice of disposable paper cups for tea and water, which was off-putting. What happened to the plastic dishwasher-safe drinking glasses typical of Owl? That would have matched the familiar, comforting homestyle surroundings as in the Mississauga and Spadina locations.Criticism: the occasional strong whiffs of kitchen cleaner in the air towards the end of the meal. That's not a trademark Owl characteristic, nor one that anyone is fond of. Perhaps it was a kitchen accident, I don't know. Hopefully not a regular occurrence.
Very rude, refused to seat us at 9:20 when they close at 10:30pm on their web page. I am korean and I was embarrassed by their service. 5 workers standing around and one table seated, they just wanted to go home. Told me the kitchen is closed. Restaurants are closing their doors because of Co-vid but owl of minerva wants to side with laziness.
Food is surprisingly underwhelming for the reputation of this restaurant chain. Both dishes I ordered were supposed to have seafood and I could literally count how few pieces of seafood were there. The soup broth lacks flavours. Both dishes tasted/looked like they had been cooked by someone who has never had any culinary training. Waste of $55 for something even I can make better.
Great service ang great quality of food! Been here many times, I highly recommend!
Great local spot for porkbone soup and other Korean dishes. I always go for the porkbone soup extra spicy. Friendly staff and quick service.
We went during lunch timetried gamjatang and squid red spicy plate.gamjatang was average flavour. squid plate i loved the sauce.
I ordered for pick up and was told to come pick up in 15 mins, upon arrival 20 mins after they told me it wasn't ready.They in fact havent even started my order when I came, the store was empty and there was no other orders waiting to pick up on the table either. Very bad customer service. I had to wait there for another 15 mins for my food
Amazing food for good price. The staff are sooo nice and kind.
I’ve always liked The Owl at almost all locations. Their food used to be good at this Majormac location but today was a big disappointment. First time i ordered takeout of Pork bone soup from a restaurant and it came in a pre-packaged vacuum sealed container. I called the restaurant when i got home and opened my order, they said they made it in store and thats how it is. But seriously the container is just bigger than the pre-made frozen ones i can buy from the supermarket and it actually taste like the frozen pre-packaged pork bone soup from The Owl. Very disappointed. See pictures.
This is my go to place when I need a Korean food fix. Have their amazing spicy pork bone soup, or the bibimbap, you won’t be disappointed!!
