“ Food:5, service:4, atmosphere:4.5 Great food, very fresh and delicious, tasted like homemade. Only thing is the queue is always long and average wait time is 1hr. Pork bone soup came in good portion and tasted homemade! Bibimbap is great as well. Seafood pancake is one of the best I have tried in town which is not over fried and crispy. ”
“ Jin Dal Lae has a special place in my heart. I lived in the neighbourhood during university and it was one of my go to places when I wanted a nice meal to cheer me up. The seafood pancake and sizzling plates are the highlights for me. The staff are also very nice and gave me a small take away of the potato side dish that I mentioned I love. Highly recommend. It is however quite busy and you should expect a wait on weekends. ”
“ We love this little spot. The service was good, and the food was amazing. The seafood pancake was delicious!!! Crispy, and just enough seafood flavour that wasn’t overwhelming… ”
“ Excellent price per value food. Ate here for dinner on November 6th, 2024, and didn’t have to wait in line. Not sure if I would wait more than 15 minutes in line to eat here unless I was a student, but it is great home cooked style Korean food. Especially loved their kimchi pancake and bibimbap! Would definitely go back on a day where there is no line. ”
“ This is honestly one of my favorite Korean Restaurants in the city. For the price and amount of serving you get it's totally worth it! I love their Gamjatang, Pajeon, and tteobokki. Make sure to arrive a little bit early since it gets packed and waiting time could be longer. ”
