Jin Dal Lae Korean Reastaurant

Our meals arrived promptly, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to excellent service. The irresistible aroma of the sizzling stone bowl filled with Dolsot Bibimbap instantly drew me in. As I blended the ingredients, the flavors harmonized beautifully, creating a wonderful combination of textures and tastes. The tender beef tartare added a luxurious richness that elevated the dish to new heights. Next, I enjoyed the Haemul Pajeon, a crispy pancake overflowing with an assortment of fresh seafood and vegetables. Each bite delivered a satisfying crunch, followed by a burst of flavors that danced on my palate. The perfect balance of seafood and vegetables made for a delightful taste experi...

This restaurant is certainly not worth the wait for dinner! My friends and I visited on a Sunday evening and ended up waiting in line for an hour. The place is quite small, which means the wait just keeps getting longer, and there’s really only space for about 3-4 people to wait comfortably inside. The food was just mediocre. The Gamjatang Jeongol (for two) was the only dish we really enjoyed—it was served in a generous portion and had decent flavor. Unfortunately, the Wang Galbi was tough and hard to chew. The Kimchi Jeon (pancake) and Kimchi Jjigae (stew) were also quite ordinary. On a positive note, the banchans (complimentary side dishes) were quite good. As for drinks, they offered some...

This restaurant is not worth the wait for dinner! My friends and I went there on Sunday evening and found ourselves waiting in line for an hour. The place is quite small, which made the waiting area feel cramped, accommodating only about 3 to 4 people inside. The food was rather average overall. The Gamjatang Jeongol (simmered potato soup) for two was the highlight—generous portion and decent flavor. Unfortunately, the Wang Galbi meat was quite tough and difficult to chew. Neither the Kimchi Jeon (pancake) nor the Kimchi Jjigae (stew) left a lasting impression. On a positive note, the complimentary banchans (side dishes) were actually quite good. As for drinks, they offered some flavored Soj...

I had an incredible dining experience at this restaurant! We sampled the kimchi fried rice, budae jjigae, seafood pancake, and pork belly bossam—everything smelled amazing, and the bossam stood out for its wonderful flavor without being greasy. We also tried the stir-fried spicy squid; just a tip: you can order a single serving if you're dining alone. The stir-fried sweet potato noodles were delightful, beautifully infused with a lovely sesame oil aroma. The soft tofu stew with seafood was rich and delicious—definitely the best I've had in Toronto! Everything was outstanding, and the prices were quite reasonable too! Reserva una mesa ahora

I would advise against trying the spicy and sour fried chicken. It’s overly breaded, with just a tiny piece of chicken inside (see photos). I found it difficult to finish, as I didn’t want to waste food, but I couldn’t even get through half of it. They charged $27 for that dish. We also arrived around 5 PM and ended up waiting in line for 40 minutes, followed by another 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The staff appeared indifferent, and the service was disappointing, even though it wasn’t due to a large crowd. Be wary if you're thinking of visiting; it simply isn’t worth it.

Delicious food! I had the cold noodles, which were wonderfully chewy, and the broth was incredibly flavorful—just right for a hot summer day. The side dishes were quickly refilled upon request. The seafood pancake was thick and crispy, and I highly recommend it! The seollatang was also warming and comforting. The service was average; it often took some time and effort from three or four of us to get their attention. We arrived around 5:30 PM and had no wait, but by 6 PM, a line began to form, so I suggest arriving early!

Just when I thought things couldn't get better, I received the bill, which was surprisingly affordable given the current economic situation. Finding a good sit-down meal for under $25 (before tax and tip) can be challenging, but this meal—a kimchi jjigae and half a portion of tteokbokki—was incredibly filling and only cost $20 before tip. It's hard to believe! I highly recommend this restaurant. It's absolutely worth visiting, and I will certainly be returning for more meals!

I waited for nearly an hour, but it was definitely worth it! The food was delightful, including the side dishes. I especially enjoyed the hot plate and the cold noodles! However, the rice cake was just average. I will definitely come back to try more dishes! Reserva una mesa ahora

Conversely, the omelet rice is rather average. You might want to try it, but I can't say that I would highly recommend it.
