The Owl of Minerva

Great place for Korean food. Located in the first Markham place plaza. Friendly staff. Pretty chandelier. Good selection of dishes. Tasty Kalbi. Yummy pork bone soup. Love the small side dishes they offer as well. If you enjoy Korean cuisine, would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Always my go-to standard gamjatang place. This location offers other options to pair with your soup such as glass noodles, beef dumplings or rice cakes. Food is always good quality at decent price. Service is good. Just that when they close at 10pm and you come in after 9pm they will make sure they let you know that they're closing at 10pm so please leave by 9:50pm. Happened multiple times. And they turn away customers after 9:30pm because kitchen has already closed and been cleaned.

Average Korean franchise restaurant. Decent portions for the price. There are better Korean restaurants offering more selection, such as Jeonjuhyang. The roof was leaking due to rain, and the waitresses automatically gave us another table so we wouldn't get wet.Food: 3/5

Love coming here for the famous Pork Bone Soup. I’ve had Pork Bone Soup at other restaurants, but the Owl always has the best one - ESPECIALLY this location. Broth is full of flavour, rich and hearty. I got mine “spicy” and the spice level is perfect. Pairs well with the Kimchi and radish. I miss the old seaweed appetizer - that one was my favourite.

A great spot for a quick korean comfort meal. Reasonable pricing. Always service with a smile. I go often. And never disappoints.Food: 4/5

Great food. Potato pork bone soup is yummy!Food: 5/5

What can I say, it is lovely here as always. The tteokbokki was really good as it tasted very clean with more red pepper flakes rather than the conventional more paste. Anyway, the pork bone soup was really good as it always is : This location is really nice compared to the other ones as there is abundant parking space.

Ordered two soup for delivery costed 50$ and they don't even give us appetizer. The soups tasted bland, worst korean store i ate from. Will not purchase from this store again.

The best Pork bone soup in the area! Love the food here! Service is very fast and friendly. The bones have lots of meat on the bone, not like other places were they give you lots of bone and no meat. Definitely recommend this place!

I’m a person of habit, so if I find a restaurant with a food I really like, I keep coming back to it! Whenever we are Toronto, this is the first restaurant we dine particularly the kamjatang!!!! And we would come back several times during our stay. I also love their side dishes especially the cucumber. Lively and great staff! Great value for money too! So far we have not been disappointed.
