Apkujung Restaurant

Nice dining experience. I heard this is a privately run restaurant. The owner I guess? was super nice. He was helping us to prepare our dishes at the table. He told us in which order we were supposed to enjoy the rice and noodles. He even gave as a free dish as a bonus!

Been eating their ginseng chicken meal for over 10 years! It is absolutely delicious especially on a cold winter day! Haven't found another restaurant that serves it this one, but with a whole chicken, then a noodle soup, then a congee, it's amazing value! The soup base is so yummy!

Tried Ginseng chicken with noddle and congee. Love the soup/ broth. Congee was super flavour as well. The 2 people portion would be good for 3 people with another dish! Will come back to try more

Great place to eat different types of authentic Korean dishes! The food was really unique and tasty! Especially their goat dishes!

Experience Racism/bad service Came in on a busy Saturday night, three of usChinese and a Korean couple was arranged at the 2 tables side by side close to the kitchen. The Korean couple was seated right before us like 1-2 minutes apart but we are treated extremely differently. We ordered the same signature chicken soup. But the Korean couple got their chicken soup 20 minutes before us. I was waiting for a waitress to come by and ask for stuffsordering, tea, refill of dishes but they keep passing our table without making eye contact. But the Korean couple beside us was served proactively by the waitresses at a fast speed. At the time their table is at the last congee stage of the chicken soup, our chicken soup just arrived. I had to say “Excuse me” a couple times to grab the waitress’s attention when they were serving the Korean couple beside our table. But still I was being really polite, using multiple “thank you” and “can I” at the time of asking. After the 3 or 4th times of “excuse me”, which I got ignored, I hear a waitress mocking my “excuse me” from the kitchen area. Which I feel is extremely disrespectful and we confronted them, the waitress with pink hair clip denied but I think it's her. After that the skinnier waitress with a ponytail was nice and come by a couple times to accommodate us but the other waitress with the pink hair clip ignore us and never showed up again. When the Korean couple is done paying the bill, which is 1 hour after both of us got seated, our second stage noodle just came to the table and we have to cancel our other seafood pancake since it’s too late and we just want to finish the meal and get home. I understand the restaurant is busy and it’s hard to accommodate everyone at the same time. But being treated so differently comparing to Korean customer and being mocked by the waitress is really unacceptable.

It’s rare for me to give a horrible review for a restaurant, especially in north york where there are so many good one, but man was this place awful We entered the restaurant to see 10 people standing inside thinking this meant the food is great. No one was helping anyone out and they were all looking around for empty table they can sit at. A guy who appeared to be one of the owners walked in, walked past us and everyone waiting in line and cleaned a table for himself while everyone else was waiting to sit. They proceeded to make us sit at a large table with another couple, which is awkward enough when it’s not the type of restaurant. After 10 minutes of waiting the waitress came by to take our order. I could tell it was going to be an issue when she barely memorized our order and didn’t write anything down. We then received one order that was wrong 20 minutes later followed by one order for my wife. My food never arrived and they only realized it when my wife brought it up to the staff. No one came to apologize, no one seem to care at all I basically spent an hour at a restaurant to not be served anything. Horrible place. Horrible staff. Horrible owners/managers. Stay away from the food and the place. Go to daldongdae which is next door and superior to this place in each and every way

Grilled salted port ribs was not recommended and we didn’t like…, ginseng chicken was great as usual. lamb stew was not bad although I personally don’t like the veggie inside.

Very disappointed. First time order Korean chicken soup and it’s made from chicken thigh and wings. Not worth $46 for this leftovers. Service is good. Fried fish is good.

I always get noodle in chicken soup. I go there very often and love their food. I think its a family owned business and they're super nice whenever we go there. Prices are reasonable and the food quality is always 10/10. Love this store.

The food tasted absolutely horrible. I went with my Korean friend, and she was shocked at how bad everything tasted. The only two things that were decent were the fish cake that came out as a side dish and the onions from the squid stir fry. The soup with noodles was absolutely terrible. So, please don't trust the five-star reviews. And it's expensive... Good thing: the server was really nice, and I hope she can find a new workplace.
