Have been coming to Korean Grill House on Hwy 7 for the last 16 years through a change in ownership and a rebranding. While there have been better Korean BBQ restaurants in the area, and there have been some with more gimmicks (addition of sushi to your BBQ dinner), none have been able to match Korean Grill Houses consistency, value and most importantly... ability to stay in business. Recently however, I have noticed that their service and quality of meats has also improved, making it an even better experience!

The server brought forth five plates of banchan first with a complimentary steamed egg dish. I was so thrilled with this and absolutely thought that the steamed egg was so delicious! It was plain steamed egg but I enjoyed its fluffiness and smoothness. The banchan included kimchi, fermented bok choy, bean sprouts, eggplant, and apple slices & cucumbers. The eggplant was a unique one that I enjoyed.Soon, our gigantic wok of spicy chicken and cheese ring arrived to the table! It was definitely worthy of photos and videos. Our extra cheese arrived in a 2-cup measuring cup and the rice cakes in a separate dish. After turning on the heat on the tabletop BBQ, the server poured in the rice cakes and cooked it for us a little bit. Unlike my experience at Yoogane, the rest of the cooking was left to us that night.Once the chicken, rice cakes, cabbage, and onions had been thoroughly cooked in the centre grill and the cheese had melted in the ring, we began eating by taking a piece of the chicken and dipping into the cheese ring to eat. The cheese had probably been left cooking longer than it should have been because we didnât get the gooey and stringy cheese that we wanted but it was still really delicious. The cheese smelled amazing!The tender dark meat chicken pieces, when wrapped around the cheese, were a perfect match of tastes and the cheese helped to take away the slight spiciness of the meat and veggies too. The rice cakes were also firm and tasted just right.Seafood Pancakes with Garlic Chives: This looked amazing and came with a dish of soy sauce and floating garlic chives. I gobbled up a couple slices of the Seafood Pancakes as I waited for the cheese to melt and this Seafood Pancake was absolutely delicious! There were just enough shrimps and squid in it with green chives and the pancake itself was also thin and not greasy! It had been a while since I had last had a really delicious and well made Seafood Pancake and I could confidently say that I had found it. Yay!

Finally decided to try this Korean noodle restaurant after a long hesitation. The hesitation came from our dumpling take out experience we had from several years ago. Obviously the experience from the take out was less than sub par due to tasteless dumplings combined with small portion size. Finally decided to give them our benefit of doubt and try it again, this time for sit down experience. Their kalkuksoo is so lacking in flavor and portion size but it has lots of soups for sure. As a Korean both born and raised in Korea, I can honestly say their noodle soup(Kalkuksoo) is far from good ones in Korea. Just amazed how this restaurant was able to garner so many positive reviews all this time. My best guess is that most of these reviews are from other Canadians from non-Korean origins who cannot objectively rate this restaurant and their main dish, Kaluiksoo simply because they never had tried originals widely available in Korea.

Popular with local Koreans this is a busy place on Yonge north of Steeles. Restaurant has a mix of regular tables and BBQ fume hoods, reservations are recommended. The Kalbi is good, the small side dishes are ever changing. No surprises. Bit of a bum's rush to shoo out for the next group, no cinnamon drink to cleanse the palate this time.

Came there for a lunch for two. I liked everything: environment, attitude, service and food. Very accurate menu with enough to choose and satisfy any desire. I picked 2 types of soups with noodle and rice- delicious, portions are huge and food was fresh, tasty- amazing. Special thanks for Kimchee- it comes as compliment, but size is like regular dish:))!! Prices are very reasonable. There is a parking at front, but large extra free one is just behind the building. Thanks for great service, excellent place will definitely come there again!!!!

Service was a little crude but accommodating. The banchan was below average in taste and number of items. The seafood & green onion pancake (HaeMul Pajun, $27.99) was light in seasoning but tasted better with the sweet soy sauce. A spicy house chili sauce would have brought it to life but they only had standard sriracha (which still improved the dish). The grilled mackerel ($12.99 for 2 pieces) was meaty and tasty but full of distracting small bones. The steamed beef ribs with carrots and radish (KalBiJjim, $39.99) were lightly seasoned and indeed fall off the bone. The taste profile leaned a touch too heavily on sweet but it was still a satisfying dish. The brown & barley rice ($3.50) was not necessary in retrospect since the main dishes were lightly seasoned. The spicy seafood & vegetable noodle soup (Samsun ChamPong, $14.99) was the highlight of the meal. Fresh tasting seafood in a delicious broth that was neither excessively heavy nor spicy. The meal did not conclude with a complimentary plate of fruits or sweets which was disappointing. Overall, this is a spot for those who do not mind paying a little more and prefer their Korean meal lightly seasoned and on the sweet side.

To combat the sullen mood created by this current cold spell and accompanying detestable, slushy snow and ice. For tonight's dinner, I decided to have something fun and uplifting at this popular Thornhill Korean restaurant - an open-fire, cook yourself Korean BBQ, paired with hopefully, an array of hot and spicy Banchan ( small side dishes ).Of the two pages of 'Beef' offering, my partner and I decided to order the most expensive dish on the menu - Do it yourself BBQ un-marinated 'Premium Beef Sirloin'.Contrary to the menu's glowing description of this ' Prime AAA cut of Sirloin ', I found the quality to be inferior, the texture lacking in tenderness and the taste lacking in beefiness. A surprising 'miss' associated with a supposedly high end grade of beef.The garlic, sea salt and sesame oil dipping sauce was one dimensional, heavily dominated by the sesame seed component, salty and uninspiring. The other sauce, a fermented bean curd/miso paste was also rather dull tasting.On top, I was rather disappointed by the lack of charcoal aroma and taste, usually exhibited with grilling over real charcoal in an Hibachi BBQ grill.Fortunately, what was lacking with the entree, it was partially made up by the wonderfully seasoned and tasty array of Banchan. Though limited to only six choices, however, every one was a delight.Service, though friendly, was hindered by tonight's packed house. The result, a rather rush and partly incomprehensible description of how to eat the beef, condiments and wraps properly. As well, requests for additional Banchan and sauces were ignored.If I am to return, I will definitely choose the marinated beef ribs. Hopefully, the taste will be more complex and intense. However, with so many Korean establishments scattered in this area, I'm sure there are other outfits far superior than Piggy's?!

I've only been here once simply because there are a lot of great options in the area for Korean food, but I was impressed with the quality of food and service here. Would definitely go back again! Just be prepared for a possible wait if you go right at peak hours because a lot of people recognize that this is a great spot.
