Best Korean restaurant in Canada

A	Aashna Kaur on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We ordered spicy crispy chicken which was over cooked and told them to change but they refused. They don’t care about their food and service. It was very bad, never coming here again
N	Nina Reich on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mediocre quality for high prices. It could be that the quality went down as my chirashi did not look at all like in pictures taken two years ago. While the servers were very pleasant we failed to get their attention on the terrace.
E	Elegance With Rasha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Always a pleasure to come here, the food is delicious and fresh, cozy atmosphere and lovely service! Highly recommended.
N	Nataliya V on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have not been inside. Have a good time sitting in the shade on the open terrace . Ordered pancake, sushi and nigiri. All food was delicious! Nice serving as well. A quiet elegant place. Definitely recommend.
G	Gal Dekel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing food, service, and ambience. We ordered 5 different things and each one was better than anything we ever had. 10/10 recommend the bibimbap and this restaurant as a whole.
G	George Jia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The location is great. Patio is actually right on the road and you are eating beside a one way traffic( lots of very noisey cars and motorcycles in the area, not the restaurant's fault). The food is actually kind of boring, you have the standard Japanese, Korean foods such as sushi, udon, seafood pancake, kalbi. The tempera Udon is really good, and my kids like it. The sashimi and the miso cod are OK at best. The worst dish we had is the seafood pancake. Usually people either look for fluffness or crispness in Korean pancakes, I appreciate both. However, the one here manage to be neither. I think the pancake was made a bit too thick and it was also undercooked because the green onions are very raw, also i was not aware that we have a seafood shortage. ? Service is pretty good considering everyone was busy. However when paying by card, they just punched in the tip and taped my card without asking. It's not like they put too much, a modest 15%, I'd probably go with 18 or 20 myself, but it's kind odd that they just did it without asking.
T	Tan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ While this place has had rave reviews on here and OpenTable, we were severely disappointed with our experience. The night we went, there was another larger group of 8-10 people who were clearly well fed and catered to. The rest of the tables suffered as a result. Drinks were very slow to come out, had the lemon gin drink and it was very watered down, asked for a beer and it never came, and the torched sushi wasn’t very torched at all. The only highlight is the bossam (pictured), the meats were well seasoned and it was plenty of food for two people. Even then could we have gone to Korean bbq instead? Yes absolutely we could have. I wouldn’t recommend this place.
G	Gastro W. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ And in a very unlike me manner, we also didn’t share at the Share Bar. It didn’t stop me from ordering the salmon aburi sushi ($20) to start, the rice adorned with thick cuts of salmon topped with lime aioli. At KOKO, there was just enough of the mayo to take on a hint of smokiness and to add a splash of creaminess without making the sushi greasy. I would have liked some stronger finishing ingredients to create more interest – like the customary jalapeno slice, a dab of chopped olives, or even a sprinkling of green onions. The aburi was good but lacked pizazz. Based on my friend’s recommendation (and plenty of other reviewers), I had to try KOKO’s roasted miso black cod ($36). It’s a solid dish but with a few changes could be even better: including some of the miso sauce on the side for those who want a more flavourful fish or to pour over the steamed rice, removing some of the cod’s bones to make it easier to cut into (even the large shards were left behind), and roasting the skin longer so that it becomes crispier. Still, I appreciated the decent sized piece of black cod, which was fresh and flaky and there was a nice variety of vegetables included to create a balanced and healthy meal. If only there was more seasoning on the vegetables that seemed to be merely steamed.
