Han Mi Jeong - York

After reading all the reviews of this placeI finally found the chance to pay a visit to this Korean restaurant.

Best Korean food in Markham area. I've been here multiple times and it never disappoint.

As a person who has no spice tolerance and generally dislikes Korean food as a result, I would actually say I would enjoy coming here from time to time.

My Dolsot Bibimbap arrived with a clear soup with green onions in it as well as a bottle of spicy paste for me to add to the hot stone bowl as needed. I mixed all the ingredients (assorted vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, spinach and fried egg) together and the purple rice that came with it (usually white rice is served in a bimbimbap). The bibimbap was good. I wish there was a little more beef in it though and I thought that I could have eaten a little bit more. The portion might have been a little small for someone else.The prices were reasonable here and I wouldn’t mind coming back in the future to try some more dishes.

For some unknown reason, I have been eating Korean food almost once a week for the past month in this neighborhood. So far, not a single one offers food that impresses. Tonight, I tried out another one located inside of Richlane Plaza - a 'food' mall providing a range of culinary delights, ranging from Hong Kong style cafe food, South East Asian fare, Cantonese roasted meat, Japanese/Korean Sushi-ya and an upscale Cantonese restaurant as anchor.The place was packed with waiting patrons spilling onto the plaza atrium. After taking a number and waited for about 15 minutes, we were seated by a huffing and puffing waitress.The two of us shared a BBQ Beef ribs and a Seafood,Tofu and vegetable soup, all served with purple rice. Six small side dishes were offered, including a plate of the most delicious tasting cabbage Kimchee. Perfectly seasoned, a touch sweet, not too tart and just the right amount of spiciness. Unlike one-dimensional and mediocre versions served up elsewhere in the vicinity, the seafood soup tonight was most flavorful and filled with delightful seafood, umami goodness. The equally tasty beef ribs were grilled just right, not too burnt, not too dry and with the right amount of sweetness.All in all a very satisfying and enjoying Korean meal. Worthy of a return.
