Hancook Cheese Dakgalbi - Toronto

Delicious Cheese Dakgalbi! Never tried that before and we went as this place was recommended to us by a friend. The sauce was tasty which made up for the texture of the dish. I think to some people who are not used to it, it may seem a little spicy. I like spicy food, so it was a perfect match for me. The dish is so fun to eat straight out of a sizzling pan! We also had fried rice with the remainder dakgalbi. Our portions were enough!! The staff was nice and the restaurant was not too crowded. Their side dishes are good too! The restaurant itsels is a nice casual place to eat, drink and chill. Definitely worth coming by for some delicious comfort food.

I didn’t try the signature cheese dakgalbi and only had the spicy rice cakes. It was okay. The rice cakes were too soft and felt over cooked. But The sauce was tasty which made up for the texture of rice cake. the highlight for me was the side dishes! The noodles were delicious and the service was very polite.

4.5 07/09/2023 I came here because I was craving this restaurant, I’ve been here a couple of times and each time I was always satisfied. The restaurant was kind of busy, the employees were welcoming from the start and always noticed when I needed their attention. I ordered a Rosé Cheese Dakgalbi and Spicy Rice Cake.Rosé Cheese Dakgalbi I usually get this from here, but this time I added ramen noodles, and extra cheese, I asked if they could also add fish cakes as well but they said they couldn’t ?. Since I ordered a portion for one, it didn’t come in like the image, they warned me ahead of time but why could I do ?‍ this made the dish have less sauce than it should’ve. I definitely recommend ordering portion for 2+ for more sauce! The ramen noodle was quite filling and I think I’ll try the glass noodles next time. The extra cheese was good as well. I think this time the dish was too creamy for my liking this time compared to the other times I’ve came here.Spicy Rice Cake I ordered this because I wanted fish cakes in my previous dish but they said they couldn’t add it. The spicy rice cake tasted good, just like how it should taste!Overall I still enjoy this restaurant each time I came here in the past and only this time had a tiny issue with the extreme creamy taste of the dish. I recommend coming here for their food! It’s definitely worth the price, but don’t forget to come here with more than 1 portion!

My favorite place for a light meal.FOOD:• Cheese Dakgalbi: super cheesy, quite spicy but not crazy spicy. It can't get me full if I order it alone but definitely a fun thing to try.I recommend add some noodles/ rice into it get some side dish.DRINK: I didn't feel like getting a drink that is more pricey than the main course.VIBE: It's in the basement so might be a bit harder to find. The floor is not as clean as I expected it to be. And the washroom looks really dirty. The dakgalbi pan is quite old and beaten up.SERVICE: All the servers tried to avoid my eye contact after the food is brought out. It's almost impossible to ask for something else because they seem to dissappear or pretend not looking at you.

Came here with some friends for a little get-together. Ordered two Dakgalbi (Cheese and Rosé sauce) with ramen. Plus fried rice with the crispy bits at the end. Everything was hot and fresh. Service was good. Preferred the Cheese Dakgalbi over the one with Rosé sauce as the latter was a bit too creamy and lacked the spiciness I'd like. But overall, it was an enjoyable experience.
