Very busy place. Fully pack and we have to wait. Anyway, food was good and my favorite Jjamppong is not on their menu. So we ended ordering wrap veg with grilled porkchop.

The wait was long and to add insult to injury the server served the ones who came after us. After seeing that the server served the ones after us, we followed up on our orders. The server raised her voice and said ours was coming. The server was frowning all the time and looked really miserable. She lacks patience, compassion and empathy. I understand that she could have been stressed since she was the only server but she could have at least acknowledged our presence and be apologetic for the long wait.When the food came, it was good but it wasn’t worth the aggravation.Good service and compassion and empathy would have made a lot of difference. Customers should never have experienced what we experienced.One will pay good tip for good service. But with this server, she won’t be worth a single cent. If this is a family business, she has just ruined its image. I hope other customers will not experience what we just experienced.

One of the greatest Korean food I have tried in GTA. They offer the best sides as well, great varieties, fresh, and tasty. Bul-go-gi and grilled pork are both good. Have tried their pork soup before and it was the best I have tried in GTA. A small place but definitely offering excellent food!

Can't say enough good things about Makkal ChonWe've been going here for a few years now since moving to the east end and this is one of the best and few (if not only) authetic Korean restaurants around!They always serve lots of delicious side dishes and always have great friendly service.We absolutely love their pork bone soup family size and their SEAFOOD PANCAKE!! Seafood pancake is massive and can definitely be meal on its own if you so choose (we always have leftovers)Pork bone soup is arguably better than owl's! it's super flavourful and piping hot when you eat in restaurant. If you takeaway, make sure you reboil to make it super hot and delicious.They also serve purple rice which is a nice touch.Restaurant itself is quite small, and turnover can be slow. no reservations. so either get there early (before 6pm) or be ready to wait!

Wow, this restaurant is the best food experience I've had all year. The flavors of each dish were spectacular. Dining in, your nose is treated to smells of amazingly great sensations. I suggested the bone soup, Kim Chi rice and short ribs which blow my socks right. I will be back and will send anyone asking for a great Korean food experience.. totally worth the wait in line..

Due to a shortage of employees, the wait is extremely long; the person serving is also the one cashing out the customers and cleaning the tables. They give complimentary tea and side dishes, which is a bonus in my book. We ordered combo A, which included lettuce, two meat options, and two Korean purple rice. The spicy bulgogi is delicious, but the spiciness isn't really apparent; I believe you can request that the spiciness be increased. I really like the grilled pork, and they cooked it perfectly.

Standard Korean food, if you are around the area and want some quick Korean cuisine, this is good pick. One thing to note tho is they have yummy side dishes! Steamed egg, eggplant, glass noodles, fish cakes, kimchi~!

It’s one of the best places to eat Korean food. I have gone many times with my family to dine in and everytime we enjoyed the dishes. We love their spicy pork and squid. Their side dishes are so tasty you keep asking for more. Definitely recommend this place.

Have been here a few times over the past few weeks. Service is always fast and efficient. The pork bone soup is always great, and the the chicken cutlet is one of our favourites! Definitely will continue to return to this hidden gem in Scarborough! ?
