Seoul Restaurant.

korean... Having craved Korean food for awhile, we decided to grab a meal at Seoul Restaurant in Korea Town. It is not the nicest place, as its decor is closer to cafeteria style, but this place has some delicious food at cheap prices. This place is known for their big hot pans, so we decided to get the Budae Jigae (a big spicy stew with spam, pork, cheese, tofu, kimchi, vegetables, rice cakes, $18). All that stuff might not sound to appetizing, but it is seriously delicious and adding $2 for instant noodles is worth it as well. We also decided to share some pan fried dumplings to share ($5). Another dish we got was the Jia Jiang Mian ($8), which is noodles with meat sauce/ paste and this was pretty flavourful here. Finally, to fill us up, we wanted to go with something a bit spicier, so we tried the Dduk Bokki (stir fried rice cake in spicy sauce with vegetables, fish cake, $6), which was pretty cheap for a pretty big portion, although I'm not the biggest fan of really spicy stuff.
Seoul Restaurant also serves your typical korean foods like Gam Ja Tang (pork bone soup), but it is definitely worth sharing one of the Budae Jigae with a bunch of friends. The Buda Jigae here is much better than the one I wrote about from Toong in North York. This place is good for a very casual or quick meal and from what I saw, it was filled with many UofT students. If you want to check it out, Seoul Restaurant is at 621 Bloor Street West (on Bloor, South of Bathurst).
