The Owl on Bloor

My favorite place to eat after returning from a day of skiing! The service is great, the food is always good and the price is reasonable. I'm tempted to try something new in Korea town but at the Owl, I always know what I'm getting and that I'll leave happy and full.

Last time, I went here with my mother and aunt in Chinatown. Their Korea specialty food that is my favorite one, is quite tasty. For example, the Pork Bone Soup is the most popular one, because of the perfect flavor and the spice of the soup. Also, the jap-chae is fantastic with egg, been sprout, beef, lettuces. In addition, the food portion is very generous, that one dish is enough for two of me. Most of the time, I need to pack and take it to home. However, the atmosphere is so deserted. There is only one TV shows K-pop music. To be honest, it’s not really good for eating time. I do not want to listen to some songs that I cannot understand the lyrics because the restaurant is not only for Korea. Finally, it’s a great restaurant. A must try!

THE OWL IS ALWAYS A RELIABLE "HITS THE SPOT" STOP. WE GOT KIMCHI STEW W.PORKBELLY AND THE CLASSIC PORKBONE SOUP. ALONG W.THEIR FRIEND MANDU (DUMPLINGS). SPICY, SAVORY AND CRUNCHY!! THEIR SOUPS ARE THE BEST FOR A COLD WINTERS NIGHT!

Whenever I crave Korean food, this is my go to spot. I usually get kimchi fried rice, with extra eggs, bulgogi meat on it's own, and pork bone soup. Very flavorful, tasty, and spicy. The servers are attentative, quick, and friendly. Relaxing ambiance. There is a large television, showing live performances and music videos, of Korean pop musicians.

Deliciously Comforting Pork Bone Soup! I recently had the pleasure of enjoying the pork bone soup, and it was nothing short of amazing! The rich, savory broth was perfectly seasoned, with a depth of flavor that could only come from slow-simmering the pork bones to perfection. Each sip was warm and comforting, like a hug in a bowl. I loved the spicy kimchi and rice! I will recommend.

My go to comfort meal when it’s snowing and cold in Toronto! I always order the pork bone soup (with tteokbokki or spicy rice cakes if I’m with friends), and the banchan/side dishes are perfection. The pork bone soup usually comes with 3-4 massive bones with an abundant amount of meat on it. You must be pretty skilled with chopsticks to retrieve it all! The potato that comes with it is also super easy to eat. It usually comes with a bowl of rice and 4 banchan/side dishes - kimchi, sprouts, potatoes and seaweed of some sort. LOVE their kimchi! They allow for refills on the banchan as well. Service has always been prompt and excellent and the food generally comes out in under 10 mins. The environment is ok; a few TVs on in the background but not much else. There is an ATM at the front of the restaurant, and several steps to go up to enter.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The flavors were authentic, the dishes beautifully presented, and the staff warm and attentive , my favourite was the pork bone soup.

Delicious food, large servings, exceptionally friendly staff, great value If you order take away from here ask your driver to be nice. While I ate half a dozen drivers came in to pick up food and all were extremely rude to the owner/hostess.
