Everything I’ve had from here was delicious. I’ve tried everything except the soondae. Very nice owners too. They are a cash only place though so keep that in mind.

Since I live pretty far north, I rarely make trips further than downtown. So if I am coming up from downtown or the deep south, I will forfeit Deerfoot Trail to make a detour to Chinatown for SooYummy. The shop is located in the same building as the HSBC bank and is also home to Try Again, Diamond Bakery, a Chinese medicine shop, butcher shop, and a hair salon. SooYummy has a small menu featuring Korean snacks like kimbap, hodo gwaja(red bean and walnut filled cake balls?), fish shaped cakes with red bean paste, rice cakes, soondae, etc. I usually get the original kimbap and 20 piece of hodo gwaja(10 for me during the commute back home and 10 for my family to fight over lol). Everything is reasonably priced and it is the place I go to for my Korean food fix(since I’m a vegetarian and most places are BBQ or has seafood in the dishes). Like most Chinatown establishments, cash is king, so bring enough, enough for a couple bowl cakes and egg tarts at Diamond Bakery next door, too ;)

You know, if I wasn’t a regular at Try Again bubble tea house, I wouldn’t have ran into this place. As you head down the steps to go to Try Again, look to the right and you’ll find So Yummy Factory! They have korean food you can pick up quickly and they have a bakery side where you can snack on their red bean cakes — yummmm I love anything red bean and red bean cakes j’adore! I felt a little shy taking photos and actually asked before I did haha — weird right?! but nah, I think it was just because they were new. Actually just the end of May if I remember correctly from what the owner told me. I picked up 20 pieces of their walnut red bean cakes that are actually shaped as walnuts — CLEVER! haha — they took me 2 days to finish. It only cost me $ 8.95 and they taste much better than timbits ;) how could anyone even compare! The owners seemed friendly and I’ll definitely come back for more of their red bean cakes and try out their korean dishes Their open everyday except Sunday and close at 6pm.
