When Jason Lee graduated from college and showed up for his first day of work as the general manager of his parents’ eatery, Korean Village Restaurant, he was expecting to get shown to an office. “But my mother gives me a mop and says ‘go clean the washroom,’” he remembers. “That was my first task working here. I was humbled.”

The dedicated work ethic of his mother and father, both co-founders of Korean Village Restaurant, is what has kept the eatery going strong since it first opened in 1978. When the restaurant is busy, Jason’s mother still helps out with clearing and setting tables. “If someone from the kitchen calls in sick, she’ll be the first one to put on an apron, whether it’s to wash dishes, prep or cook,” Jason explains. “The one thing I learned from my mom is leading by example. So if my mother has to do those things, I’ll do those things. No questions asked.”

Great food! A few friends and I decided that we were needing to expand our horizons as far as eating out. I had tried Korean food last yr for the first time in Korea of all places. Enjoyed much of it and especially liked bulgogi. So we checked restaurantica for reviews....difficult to pick one though decided on the "korean Village Han Kuk Kwan". We arrived arround 6 pm to the smooth sounds of Billy Ocean and a maze of fake plants and "stuff". We almost backed out though glad we didn't. The food was great! We ordered a variety of meats on the bulgogi menu. A great selection of banchan arrived at the table, followed by out friendly waitress with the grill. She was very helpful in describing the various dishes and coming back to the table to check on the meat and reminding us that "it is done". In regards to past reviewers..the meat was not over marinaded and the size of the panchan is small however replaced quickly and not over charged for it. Overall I was really pleased with the meal. Yes the atmosphere is not "up scale" but who cares. As dinner wore on the crowd grew..including some drunk Korean businessmen. The music didn't get any better though I felt like i were back in Seoul..drunk business men and pop music. We will be back.

Great Korean Restaurant!

This is my new favourite Korean restaurant in Toronto! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was a lot nicer than many of the other Korean restaurants along that strip. We felt a bit rushed when it came to ordering (the waitress came to our table to take our order several times within the span of 5 minutes) but maybe that was just because she wanted to make sure we weren't waiting to place our order. I read one of the other reviewers complaining about the serving sizes of the pan-chan (small side dishes that accompany every meal). Small serving sizes of pan-chan is customary with Korean dining; you can always ask for refills on whatever pan-chan you run out of. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant!

The people may not be as 'slick' as some other upscale restaurants but they are very friendly. And the food is even better. I always have a great time whenever I go there.

The kong na mul — or pickled bean sprouts, for the non-natives about the place — set up expectations for some truly fine Korean cuisine to follow. These seasoned soybean sprouts mixed with garlic, hot pepper flakes and green onions are a common Korean side dish, and this Annex joint does them up real nice.

When you want a true array of Korean BBQ with sides and service equally amazing, you come here. The kimchi is zesty and pickled just right, while the hot stone bowl comes with the added bonus of cheese. The best finishing touch? A lollipop after your meal.
