When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When seeking Korean food, go where the Koreans go! Sariwon is one of those spots uptown for an authentic quality KBBQ experience. Better yet, they now have an impressive patio to offer diners who wish to enjoy the rooftop. Location is just north of Yonge/Steeles where there are many Korean restaurant options.This family owned restaurant prides itself on top notch quality cuts of meat. After scouring the menu of various Korean cuisine items, we settled on SamGyupSal (sliced pork bellies) & DwaeJi Galbi (marinated pork ribs) as a BBQ meal for 2. The thick pork belly cuts once caramelized went well with lettuce wrap & salty soybean paste sauce. The galbi akin to pork chop came pre-grilled and was an easy chew. Good BBQ starts with good meat.For our order, a decent spread arrived including Japchae, Nokdu-Muk (mung bean jelly) along with more typical Banchan side dishes & salad. The complimentary Soybean Stew was well-seasoned despite the lack of spiciness. For the hot day, MulNaengMyun (cold beef noodle soup) was refreshing tho I always find buckwheat noodle slippery to chew. We tapped out with our bellies full and leftovers aplenty.Service was excellent for our patio dining. While we were in the patio, we received frequent checkups, and their insistence to cut & help grill our pork bellies. Wonder if we've been cooking it wrong all these years. Others' gripes seem to be about the higher price point but we thought it was fair for a pleasant dining experience. Hey, whatever floats your boat!
Great place for authentic Korean barbecue. It is NOT all you can eat, but they serve high-quality meats for a more upscale, authentic Korean experience.
Absolutely one of the best Korean BBQ I had the pleasure to try. It is not cheap, but it's worth every dollars!
Great Korean food. Their Korean spare ribs (kalbi) is out of this world.
We had our wedding on the second floor. Great venue at a very reasonable price, plenty of room, delicious food and great service. I would highly recommend it!
The food was very yummy..oh my.i want to come back a korean food.i love it
Wow!! The food was so delicious. ?I love the food, the atmosphere and the service. Will definitely be back.
One of the best Korean restaurants in GTA, in my opinion. Spacious and well kept- we did BBQ and the fan worked so well as there was no lingering BBQ odor afterwards on us. Meat was fresh and well portioned, cold noodles were delicious. Overall, definitely not cheap but all in all, very good value for the money given the quality.
First time eating at this comfortable Korean BBQ style restaurant. Meat and side dishes were delicious. Extra food included steamed rice, tofu soup.
Pricey but good quality korean beef. If you buy enough and if it's not too busy they'll even cook it for you
