Honestly, it's a hidden gem in St Clair West!! The food was terrific, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I enjoyed every minute there. They welcomed you with a cup of green tea, which is necessary in this weather. I ordered the Bulgogi Burger Double Patty in a combo. The fries were crispy and nicely seasoned, and the burger was spectacular. We tried the blueberry wine; if you like sweet, that's your wine. There are many other options; I must return and try more dishes. The portions are generous so that you will feel very full. 100% recommend!!
We just went there for the first time today and we really enjoyed it. We went with my two young toddlers. We got bulgogi double burger, basil beef rice bowl and the kids burger with cheese fried. Everything was delicious, service was fast and pricing was very reasonable. They had a high chair for the baby. I’m definitely coming back and will recommend my friends.
Randomly found this place on google for eats around the area. Did NOT disappoint. The staff were super friendly and the food certainly hit the spot. We ordered way too much for two people, but we wanted to try everything. Ended up ordering the Shrimp and Bulgogi burger, the Shrimp and Parsley Rosti, a platter of the KFC, and we finished it off with the Hotteok. Definitely would recommend, and looking forward to going back.
A late dinner in Diner Seoul but made it in before they closed! It was quiet inside, but had a very welcoming atmosphere. The food was amazing, I had the parsley and shrimp rosti, and could not fault it. Tried the fried Veggie dumplings, gochujang poutine, sweet and spicy KFC, and all were delicious. The plum tea was also really good. The prices were good, all were around $20. Would strongly recommend
Really delicious! Korean spin on North American dishes. Service was great and atmosphere was perfect. Easy date night or chill dinner with friends. Hope more like this pop up in the area. Also a really great lunch special!
Second time to Diner Seoul and it was even better than I remember. I love how they give you a hot tea and water with lemon as soon as you sit down. We ordered the Kimchi Aioli Caesar Salad, Go Guma, Korean beef tartare, double party bulgogi burger (forgot to take a photo, ate it too fast) and the kfc platter. All the dishes came out quickly and tasted amazing. Their take on Korean /French/Italian is really unique and not like anything I've had other than at 156 Cumberland, and tbh Diner Seoul is better, not to mention the pricing here is amazing. The owner was kind enough to even give us ice cream on the house. This place is definitely a hidden gem.
Such an expected hidden gem in Toronto! I can see why there are such high reviews and love the unique fusion food. Highly highly recommend the kimchi rosti and their hotteok for dessert (best hotteok I have ever had)! The owner is incredibly sweet and I felt so welcome as soon as I arrived - she even gave us some free tea to cool down which was so appreciated and very refreshing during a heatwave Also the prices are very affordable, everything is under 20$ on their menu! I wish I lived in the area but will definitely be back next time I am in the area!
What a lovely meal we had here! We had Diner Seoul bookmarked for some time and finally got to try it this weekend. The service and detail was so thought out and attentive from start to finish. The menu is not your typical Korean fusion - the flavour pairings were so unique yet delicious. Their classic Korean fried chicken was crispy and flavourful, but do try the other dishes on the menu. The Rosti is a must-try!
