Located along Bloor between Markham Street and Montrose Avenue, Koreatown is an ethnic enclave in Toronto that’s known for its Korean businesses. There are plenty of great places to grab a bite to eat—and not just Korean food. While you can certainly find yummy tofu dishes and Korean-spiced stews, some restaurants along the strip offer different types of cuisine. Check out one of these places the next time you’re in Toronto’s Koreatown!
There’s no shortage of cheap and cheerful Korean mom-and-pop eats at Sunrise House. This cash-only joint often has a line, and it’s easy to understand why. Sunrise House has quick service and good food, and most of their dishes cost about $10. The menu is teeming with Korean favorites such as noodles, dumplings, bulgogi, and bibimbap, but everyone loves the pork-bone soup.
The star on the menu at this lively Korean restaurant is soon tofu—a warm and comforting dish of stewed tofu, vegetables, and often meat and fish that comes with a stone bowl of rice and banchan. The food here is a little more expensive than what you might normally expect at a Korean restaurant, but the portions are huge!
Another favorite soon tofu restaurant in Koreatown is Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. This modest restaurant’s sizzling tofu hot pots and yummy Korean fare have guests coming back again and again. Their simple menu only has about nine items, and most of the dishes are a variation of their soon tofu. However, you can also get some bibimbap or bulgogi.
Tacos El Asador’s no-frills Salvadoran fare has received rave reviews, and the pupusas, in particular, get a lot of love from frequent customers. This family-run joint might be an oddity on a strip that is known for its Eastern flair, but residents of Toronto have been going to Tacos El Asador for years.
