Such a lovely place! Great looking restaurant with lots of seating available. Amazing service. They come to you with water right away. The food was very authentic and flavourful. I got the pork bone soup, which comes with rice, and a side order of beef dumplings. They are served with sides. Overall great experience. Would definitely come back. Limited paid street parking. This area is pretty busy, so it can be difficult to find parking.
Ordered the kamjatang and Bulgogi deobap. Price was very reasonable, big portion, good service. The pork bone broth was okay, not the best I’ve tried but the Bulgogi deobap was good. Would like to come back and try their jajangmyeon.Recommended dishesBulgogi
Real rating: 4.3 A new competitor in the home style Korean fare. Opened for no more than a month, my party was quickly seated to a full restaurant. Typical Korean food but at an elevated level. The food here comes at a slightly bigger portion and rather quickly. Ordered Spicy chicken, tteobokki with noodles, bulgogi and dumplings. All were more flavorful than what I expected. The Banchan was more bland than expected. The table adjacent offered Korean fried chicken which looked incredible appetizing. It is on my to try list. Only two servers on the floor. Although they do their best, service is very friendly but at times slow. Decor is plain and boring and the cooling system must've been not working that day. Was a hot and humid experience. Very reasonable pricing. I'm difficult to please but left here satisfied. I strongly support local businesses and encourage everyone to give Seor Ak San a try the next time you're debating where to eat.
I always loved Seor Ak San back when it was in Chinatown. I am so glad it is finally back. Had pork bone hot pot, beef bibimbap and Kimchi seafood pancake with two friends. The dinner is such a satisfying experience. Pork bone hot pot is the highlight of the meal. The portion is large enough for 3 people, with around 7-8 pieces of pork bone and 2 bowls of rice. The stove heating the soup makes it a great winter meal. I recommend eating the pork bone first and let the soup boil for a bit. The concentrated soup at the end goes well with the rice. Kimchi seafood pancake is not crispy, but the fulfilling flavorful type. They don't skimp on the seafood or the accompanying sauce. Great appetizer. I am so glad that they are finally opened again. It is one of the best value Korean food in town. I am spreading the news that Seor Ak San is opened again among my friends.
Excellent food, excellent prices, and excellent service! So glad that this restaurant opened again, this time in Koreatown it used to be located on Spadina, south of College. We ordered gamjatang pork bone soup, jajangmyeon black bean noodles with beef dumplings, kimchi fried rice with pork, and vegetable spring rolls - everything, including the side dishes, was absolutely delicious! Our server was so kind and friendly. The washroom and restaurant interior were impeccably clean. Will be back very soon!!!
We came here today because the other restaurant we’re planning to visit was full. We got a seat pretty quick, but looks like they’re not used to handling busy times. Our food took more than 40 minutes to come, most of their side dishes are gone, and they didn’t give us basic items like bowls, napkins, utensils, water, etc. - we had to keep asking a couple times, resulting in more wait times. The food itself was surprisingly okay. The plus point is the value we got for the price we pay. I think it’s worth the price and tasted pretty decent. Their side dishes were not as good however as the radish was not fresh and the kimchi tasted sweet than refreshing. One thing that throws me off aside from the above are the lack of ventilation. The kitchen is within the eating area, and there seem to be no ventilation at all. Upon entry you’re bursted with a strong smell of grill and food in general. Be prepared to smell like food if you eat here. It was very warm and stuffy since no air flow seem to happen inside.. I’d probably give it another chance next time when it’s not during busy times.
Ordered the Gamjatang. Mild spicy means lighter broth. Eaten together with the kimchi it was good! I like their Kimchi here.Food: 3/5
I'm so excited my fav korean place is back! We used to go here all the time on Spadina. Got kamjatang honest the best downtown and Sweet&Spicy chicken + Sweet&Sour pork split combo on UberEats, both were excellent. Good portion sizes, not too salty, good amount of spice. Very excited to have them back!
Pretty good for downtown spot. Had it via ubereats so probably would’ve been better at restaurant.
The food was great. A bit too sweet for me but it was still tasty. The price was great. We ordered potato pancake, don katsu, LA kalbi, and budae jigae and they totaled to 83 sumting.Food: 4/5
