What can I say, it is lovely here as always. The tteokbokki was really good as it tasted very clean with more red pepper flakes rather than the conventional more paste. Anyway, the pork bone soup was really good as it always is :)This location is really nice compared to the other ones as there is abundant parking space.

Honestly it is not even worth giving one star. Food is mild and old. I ordered pork bone soup since they had one page full of different types of pork bone soup. I thought they were proud of their food (or maybe they changed their chef?). The meat wasn’t soft at all it was hard to chew. The taste of the soup was mild it didn’t satisfied my expectation. I thought I could make better than that. I also ordered Tteokbbokki and the rice cake was old and was cracked. It was not at all spicy like we ordered.The worst part was when we didn’t give the tip because the food didn’t satisfy our expectations, the boss chased us asking, “ hey, you didn’t tip us”. So What? We avoided fight by just saying sorry and left. We visited to get good food, but we didn’t. We just ate because we didn’t like wasting ingredients that were put in to make this food. It was the worst.Remember this was the head store of The owl of minerva.

I don't think anything on their menu is good. Also, anything listed as spicy is barely spicy for even the average person. There are missing side dishes that are available at other Korean restaurants like the potatoes and glass noodles. Someone with a recipe and no cooking experience can probably make something better on their first attempt.

We like going here because this place opens early. We always go before the lunch rush and service and food is great.

Always my go-to standard gamjatang place.This location offers other options to pair with your soup such as glass noodles, beef dumplings or rice cakes.Food is always good quality at decent price.Service is good.Just that when they close at 10pm and you come in after 9pm they will make sure they let you know that they're closing at 10pm so please leave by 9:50pm. Happened multiple times. And they turn away customers after 9:30pm because kitchen has already closed and been cleaned.

The staff was friendly and the food was satisfied but 3 Banchans?!? All the places I go to have at least 5 ... a franchise place should have a standard. I am very disappointed.

Love coming here for the famous Pork Bone Soup. I’ve had Pork Bone Soup at other restaurants, but the Owl always has the best one - ESPECIALLY this location. Broth is full of flavour, rich and hearty. I got mine “spicy” and the spice level is perfect. Pairs well with the Kimchi and radish. I miss the old seaweed appetizer - that one was my favourite.

Great place for Korean food. Located in the first Markham place plaza.Friendly staff. Pretty chandelier.Good selection of dishes.Tasty Kalbi. Yummy pork bone soup. Love the small side dishes they offer as well.If you enjoy Korean cuisine, would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Average Korean franchise restaurant. Decent portions for the price. There are better Korean restaurants offering more selection, such as Jeonjuhyang. The roof was leaking due to rain, and the waitresses automatically gave us another table so we wouldn't get wet.

A great spot for a quick korean comfort meal. Reasonable pricing. Always service with a smile.I go often. And never disappoints.
