Editorial Review

This tiny lunch spot is hopping at midday with office types, TTC drivers and passersby. The house favourite, a spicy chicken stew homemade by owners Jae and Soo Yoo, comes in a generous portion, sided with rice and salad. Bulgogi, chicken schnitzel, sandwiches, wraps and salads round out the eclectic menu of homemade dishes. Unlicensed. Mains $1.79–$7.
