I can across this korean restaurant by chance since it’s near my work. To me and my korean friends surprised the food was top quality ingredients, a great price and delicious. The portions are also huge. We love the Kim chi fried rice, dumplings on a cold day and they even have the combo table top combos. A tip go early to miss the noon hr rush and the dinner rush(7pm). If not you’ll be waiting outside in a line!

Was craving some Korean food and found this restaurant in my area, and was excited to try it out as it was supposed to be quite authentic. A nice space, but a little dimly light. Came here later in the evening with a friend, and decided to go for the table cooking BBQ. Despite the later time, the restaurant was still quite busy. We went for the beef table cooking, and was really good. Gave you all the accompanying ingredients for your lettuce wrap with lots of options. The beef was delicious, and cooked nicely by the servers. They even explained how to best cook it. The meal for two came with a Pork Bone Soup as well and it was very flavourful and spicy, just the way I like it! The servers were all very nice, and checked on the table quite often. Came to help cook the beef, give us more ingredients, and just ask how the experience was. Definitely enjoyed the experience and will be back to try the pork belly! Kamsahamnida!

We had Jampeong and fried spicy pork for dinner. The portion was huge! The spicy pork with black rice was exceptionally well done. Cooked just right and the Korean sweet spice enhanced the flavor further. Would even be nicer if they cooked with kimchi. The Jampeong was good but the noodle seemed a little over cooked. Nice portion of seafood, and the soup base was amazing. We saw many ordered pork belly bbq. It says for 2 ppl on the menu but really think it’s enough for 4 ppl. Will definitely go there again and try that

Nice clean restaurant, very compact, need to wait if you come at the peak hour. Food is tasty, but not too much special.

Solid Korean restaurant in a slightly ghost-town plaza. I got the seafood soft tofu soup and it had the right amount of spice. Broth was really flavorful. I can’t really say much more right now, but I wish I did — I want to go back to try more dishes.

This place is a family owned Korean restaurant that is really good and has cheap specials! I had the pork belly special for 2 people but is enough for 3 and comes with a platter of pork belly which you cook yourself over a barbecue, lettuce, a greens dish and sauces for making pork belly wraps. Haven’t done this kind of dish before so it was interesting and pretty delicious. It also comes with pork bone soup and 2 bowls of purple rice. Did I mention the unlimited refills on sides, they don’t have the potato sides nor the bean sprouts but they come with jap chae, tofu strips, kimchi and beans. This deal was only $ 35 so it was super worth it for what we got and it was fairly good quality as well and a huge variety of things we got for this special. I have to admit the service is kind of weak because they’re kind of under staffed, but the staff put in their best effort and were super nice, it was just hard to get their attention sometimes because they’re so busy.

This is one of the cheapest most authentic Korean places I’ve been to. Han Mi Jeong is located within a Chinese mall north of 16th avenue. The restaurant is tucked inside Rich Lane — a Chinese mall. There is limited seating and almost always a line out the door around dinner and lunch time. The one negative thing about this place is that they’re slightly understaffed so you’re basically competing with other customers to get their attention. They also close at 10PM(approximately) & don’t accept anybody past 9:00PM(they turned away a family around 9:15PM). Now onto the good stuff, The food here ISSOGOOD. Their family combos are one of the only family combos that saves you $. For $ 60 we got a big plate of glass noodles & beef(jappchae? jap(something) that we couldn’t finish, we got a pork bone soup that was heated up at the table and kept warm(didn’t finish), and a bulgogi with noodles(cooked at the table) and lettuce — the one we did finish. It says that it’s for 3 people but we had 4 people at the time and it was not doable. I’m going to eat the leftovers for today and tomorrow. I’ll definitely be back within the next week or so to try their other foods with my fam :)

Food is okay. Side dishes are on the weaker side. The yook gae jang soup and kkang poongi aren’t bad. My boyfriend also enjoys the pork bone soup. Don’t get the cold noodles. Not good at all. Parking is a nightmare in this plaza on Saturdays and Sunday’s. Beware! I’ve parked at the eggsmart plaza down Leslie because it’s so bad. Service isn’t bad. when they see that you are low on side dishes, they ask if you’d like more, which I can appreciate. Don’t come here if you want to have a private conversation. It’s an open concept, food court-like atmosphere with no barriers.

Nice to see a Korean place open up around this area since there aren’t too many otherwise(unless you go to Yonge+Finch). Their staff are friendly and polite. Their banchan were all really good! I would have asked for so much more if only I had more room in my stomache. I had the seafood soft tofu soup which was delicious too & nice plentiful amount of seafood in it. Can’t wait to come back again!

Would give this a 4.5 if possible. Fantastic new addition to the Richmond Hill food scene. The restaurant interior is comparable to most Korean restaurants, with your standard«help yourself» utensils, and clean décor, chairs and tables. Lots of parking, with the restaurant being located in Richlane Mall. The menu features your standard Korean staples including various soups, noodle soups, Chinese fusion, and BBQ dishes. Overall, prices are a little higher than average(appx $ 1 – 2), but the quality of the food makes up for it. We ordered the«Kalbi BBQ combo»(comes with a Seafood Tofu Soup), which was way more than enough for two people. The meal came with 6 standard appetizers(two kimchis, glass noodles, seaweed, radish) which were very tasty and gladly refilled when asked. The kalbi ribs came partially cooked, along with the BBQ grill for us to finish the grilling to our liking. The ribs were tender and well marinated and tasted fantastic after a few minutes on the grill. Purple rice and lettuce wraps were provided to complement the dish. Came back a few weeks later, and tried the Kampoongi(Sweet and Spicy Chicken), which was fantastic, and came with just the right amount of sauce so that the breaded pieces were still crispy when they arrived.

This review is for the family combos for 3 or 4 people. I am in food comma. So much food. Too much food. I just dined there with friends. The 5 of us shared Combo B for 4 people($ 70). There were 4 entrees in the combo: beef, pork bone soup, seafood omelette, deep fried chicken. Each entrée filled a big round plate of approximately 12 to 16 inches in diameter. I meant the food totally filled up the plate. We kept saying to the guy on table that he should have brought along his hockey player son to help consume the food. The food didn’t taste bad either. We doggy bagged 5 tall cups and 1 small box of leftover. With this level of value, no wonder the restaurant had a full house on a Tuesday evening.

Decided to try out this Korean restaurant instead of driving all the way out to North York. It’s a restaurant within a plaza almost food courtish type of restaurant. The place is not the cleanest, but decent size. The menu looks like that of a typical Korean restaurant and has all the usual foods you would expect. Not wanting to be too adventurous in case the food wasn’t that great we stuck to the basics and ordered the dolsot bibimbap, seulrongtang and kampoonggi. I didn’t try the dolsot bibimbap but you can’t really go wrong with the stone pot with rice and vegetables. The seulrongtang was so so as you could tell there wasn’t much effort put into it. The kampoonggi was a little on dry and bland side, but again so so. This place is somewhere I would only go if I couldn’t make the drive out to North York but definitely not a place a would intentionally seek out again. Also, the prices on the dishes were about $ 2 – 3 more than typical Korean restaurants that serve better quality food. The only highlight I would say is that they do provide ample side dishes, but overall you are better off saving your money and going elsewhere for Korean food. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could but rounded up.

Side dishes are great here which include seaweed, glass noodles, radish, kimchii, soy beans and fried fish paste I think. I got my pork bone soup as usual at a Korean restaurant. There is a good amount of pork bone but there was little meat on the bone for me. I found the soup salty but still good to drink. Love that they serve purple rice here and for $ 9.99 the whole meal is great value. Service was great.

For being in a supposedly«cursed» and«haunted» mall, this place is pretty alright! If I could, I’d give this place a strong 3.75 stars. You get your usual Korean fare: your bibimbap, your kamjatang, your kimchi jigae, etc. But two things stood out to me: the purple rice and the prevalence of zucchini. It’s a strange thing to notice but I love zucchini and was SOHAPPY to see it in banchan form and in my dolsot bibimbap. Speaking of the banchan, it was plentiful and tasted fresh. Everything here tastes pretty clean. By this I mean little MSG and oil. And also that it won’t come back later in the form of you sitting in the bathroom for hours with Reddit as your only friend. You know what I mean. My brother was not impressed with the omu-rice(omelette rice) as it was merely plopped on top of the rice and not wrapped around it. But honestly, you don’t go to a Korean restaurant for that. Anyhow, my mother was saying how it’s about time we got a decent Korean restaurant up in Richmond Hill. Now we don’t have to make the trek down to Yonge and Finch! Service was polite and we went on a busy night so it was obviously a bit slow. What felt different was the quality of the food. They don’t skimp and use stingy cuts of meat like the Owl on Major Mac and Bayview. Plus you’ll feel like you’re doing your body a favour by eating some of that yummy and healthy purple rice!

Came to eat with my friend around 5:00 for an early dinner! The banchans(side dishes) were quite yummy and the waiter kindly asked us if we would want refills which is really nice! We ordered the omurice, which was SUPERYUMMY! It was my favourite dish tonight! I love how they use purple rice for all their dishes too! The mulnaengmyun(cold buckwheat noodles) were pretty average, but they give you a lot of sauces to eat with it: sweet chili sauce, mustard, and vinegar. The tangsookyuk was ok. It’s originally pork but I requested for it to be made with chicken instead. It’s a unique taste but the chicken was way too breaded. Couldn’t taste the chicken :$ Keep note that their portions are big! The tangsookyuk was HUGE. So make sure you come here with friends! The food was good but not amazing. Food wise, 3 stars but +1 because of the friendly service! Would come again to try some of their soup dishes and hotpot! :3

I’m not usually a big fan of Korean food but this place opened up in Richlane mall. Appetizers are free and they change them weekly so that every time you come back it’s different which is really nice. I ordered the pork bone soup and by far this is my favourite place for it. The broth taste like there’s not a lot of MSG added. Most dishes that you order come with a side of rice. They have purple rice which is amazing. The environment is really clean and it was a very relaxing place to enjoy my meal. On the side of each table they have a cute little box that has chopsticks and spoons that you can take from it to set the table. I just didn’t find the customer service too great. You must spend over 20 $ and over in order to use interac or MasterCard.

I give this place only 3 stars because for one when I ordered the Tofu Dolsot Bibimpap with no egg. It came with an egg. And two because I kept finding pieces of beef in my meal. My guess is that the cook accidentally threw in the beef and realized afterwards it was supposed to be vegetarian. I was too hungry to have it sent back so I just picked off the meat and gave my egg to my friend. All in all the bibimbab was alright, I’ve had better and I probably wouldn’t go back. Places like this who are so careless make me not want to dine out anywhere.

I like their Jampong, seafood noodle soup. Would like to explore other dishes on my next visit. This restaurant can stop my sudden craving of Korean food driving all the way to Young n finch.

2.5(round up to 3 since it is quite new) I really expected that Han Mi Jeong opened up inside Richlane Mall since it adds variety to the existing restaurants line up. Cantonese, HK Café, Japanese, Vietnamese and now Korean. The deco and the set up was just like the 2 previous restaurants that used to be here. Han Mi Jeong did freshened up the interior a little and give it a cleaner look. Menu is traditional Korean with a lot of emphasis on soups, which is good and I am not into«fusion» Korean food that much. Price point is a $ 1 or $ 2 higher but without much competition in the area, I am more than happy to pay for some well prepared Korean food. We ordered the following to share: Bajirak Kalguksu($ 10.99) Manila Clams with Hand Cut Noodle — tons of clams but sadly the broth did not have the complex taste and the noodle was not good. Kalbi Dinner($ 15.99) Beef Short Ribs on Sizzling Plate — cooked with no grill marks and the beef was lukewarm and the plate was not even sizzling?! Gam Ja Tang($ 9.99) Pork Bone Soup — I am no PBS expert but with just 3 small piece of bones and a really simple tasting broth base(lack the herbs and spices, aside from being spicy), I doubt I would order that again. +0.5 Star for serving purple rice and the banchan was fresh

3.5 stars. Han Mi Jeong is located inside Richlane Mall up at 16th Avenue and Leslie. Opened just over one week… very excited to see this addition at this secluded mall! I came here for dinner on a late Monday night. The place was clean, well lit and welcoming. Our server was a younger gentleman and was very easygoing and personable… unlike other Korean restaurants where they just drop off the food and never check up on us unless we flag them down for the bill. Complementary appetizers(6) were delish. It was very nice of the staff to actually tell us that they are all refillable… although we always assume that they are refillable: P I love their sweet kimchi(not a lot of restaurants serve sweet ones!) and their roasted peanuts were great to snack on! My friend and I ordered the Tangsookyuk to share. Flavours were spot on, I love how they incorporated apples and oranges into this sweet pork dish :) The portion was huge and it was very satisfying. We also ordered the sweet marinated beef in soup and it came with purple rice. I was a bit disappointed when they don’t have buckwheat cold noodles… menu should’ve indicate that it was not available. I was having such a huge craving too! Never assume that it is too cold to have cold noodles(nor ice cream) in the winter. I would love to come back and try more items. Generally, Korean food is hearty and delicious and it has become my fave kind of comfort food. What makes this place stand out was the attentive and personable service(they don’t have the Korean button, so they always have to be on their A game)… and a good korean show playing on TV in the background. The restaurant was playing Running Man(that popular Korean game show), it was SO hilarous, although I had absolutely no idea what they are saying lol! The only con I have was that the server was on his cellphone the whole time(–0.5 star). I know it is a slow Monday night but try to do it behind counters, so it looks a bit more professional in the store front. Other than that, keep up the great work :)
