[Korean Restaurant Toronto] - ARISU Toronto

[Korean Restaurant Toronto]
ARISU Toronto

 Hi, how are you today :)
I hope to you have a happy day!

Today, I want to introduce a Korean restaurant in Toronto.
The name is ARISU.
Maybe some people are wondering about meaning of 'ARISU'
It's just a name of street in Korea.
I'm not sure, but that's not a special name.


I visited there(Arisu) about 1 week ago.
you know, because I'm Korean.
I always wanna Korean food actually!!

Yeah, that's right.
OK, anyway, go to Arisu with me right now~!



 It was located in close from Bathurst station.
I could get there by my steps.
It took about 5minutes from station.



 Yeah~!!
This is the Korean restaurant ARISU!!



 I heard from my friend is living in Toronto,
he told me this restaurant pretty famous in Toronto.
So, I want to experience Arisu's cuisine.



 Let's look around the menu!
First, I chose Canadian beer.
I'm Korean but I love beer Canadian!!




 And, I picked Winterlicious lunch menu.
 It include appetizer, main menu and desert.
I think this composition of menu is good.
Actually, it is not a traditional Korean cook style.
It's close to fusion.
Korea and Japan.
Anyway, wait for this menu~



 Set up for my lunch!
First, they offered me some hot green tea.
I liked it.
Flavor's not too much, enough to enjoy for me.



 What about interior?
I thought, that was not a Korean style.
It was close to Japan.
Actually, I disappointed about this.
But, looks clean.



 Yeah~~!
here is the Canadian!
taste it first :)



 OK, now begin to enjoy Arisu's lunch menu.
First item was a Potato noodles.
We call this 'Jab-chae'
It looks not bad.
so, what about taste?



 well, I wanna tell you, not bad.
When I tasted it,
I could feel it was cold.
Individually, I like warm thing more.
But it had special flavor.
Especially, in stir-fried vegetables!
I could smell its fire flavor.
This is not easy to make it,
so I liked these part.
It had good flavor, 
but if it served warm, I'll like it more.



 Now, this is the main menu!
Warm roll with Galbi(marinated beef rip,Korean style).
It served on REALLY hot(heated) stone plate.



 It looks so nice, isn't it?



 OK, now, try it!!



 It smelt good.
I could its piquant flavor because of 
some green onion on them.
I love it.
And the Galbi, some beef on them,
that was far from Korean Galbi recipe.
But texture was tender, and juicy.
Good balance with sauce.(kind of teriyaki,just I guess)



 And, look at this hot stone plate.
Some times later, roll's rice cooked via its heat.
I could enjoy crispy texture when I eating roll.



Some miso(fermented bean paste) soup was offered.
It tasted so so.
Good for eating rolls.



Now, this is the last step!
 Hot citron tea and some mochi(Japanese rice cake) 
green tea ice cream.
I liked its beautiful visual.
Citron tea had a fresh flavor 
and mochi icecream had a chewy texture.


:::: EPILOGUE ::::
If you are interesting on Korean cuisine,
I want to recommend you visit ARISU Toronto.

[RolSan Toronto]Spadina Restaurant Chinese

<Rol San Toronto>
Spadina Restaurant Chinese

Hi there~

I'm pleased to meet you :)
 How are you today?
I hope to introduce Rol san restaurant 
in China town(Spadina) Toronto.
Actually, this restaurant is really famous.
So now, I'm gonna go to Rol san
 to experience many kinds of Dim-sums!
(dimsum means Chinese style dumplings)
Let's go together!



 To get to Rol San Toronto,
We have to get off at Spadina Subway Stn.
Because I don't have a car
 So I used the Subway.
What?? you have a car??
Really??
I'm jealous of you... "ㅠㅠ"
Just joke ..lol

Ok, anyway
 If you use a TTC.
We have to transfer to street car no.510.




 Go to street car platform!



 Oh yeah~
here it is!!



 Wow, it's coming now~!
but, there were so many people in there.
I waited for next one.



 Oh, My, God!!!
That was all new street car!!!
Wow!!! looks so clean and super cool!!
haha, take the all-new street car right now!



 We have to get off
 at Nassau street.
It was a really cold day.



  Can you see that orange sign?
"설악산"
This is Korean language.
It means just mountain's name.
I was glad to see this.
Why??
Because I'm Korean :)



 From Nassau street(streetcar's platform)
just walk down the street to South.



 When you passed "LCBO"
Be nervous!!
It's because almost come!!
Let's go inside.



 Looks clean.
But, nothing special.
Anyway let's look around the menu!




 This paper only has Dimsum items.



 I chose 3 dimsums.
Pork dumplings(They called Shiu Mai)
,soup dumplings
,shrimp dumplings(called Har gow)!



 They have other various menu too.



 First, they gave me some tea.
It's a kind of red tea.(maybe I think Chinese style)
It had good flavor and little bit bitter taste.
It was good to rinse my mouth.
you know, when I ate first thing,
that food's flavor remained in the mouth.
But rinse the mouth with this tea
 I could feel refresh and clean.



 Waiting....for dimsums.
you can see the simple table setting.



 Wow!
Finally I got a DimSum!!!
This is a shrimp dimsum.
They called it shiu mai.
Looks really shinny~



 In one order,
they offered 4pcs of shrimp dimsums.



 Let's try!!
 It had bold shrimp's flavor.
And had a chewy texture too.
maybe they used some starch 
in the dimsum's dough for chewy texture.



 What's the next menu~
This is the soup dim-sum.
flavor's really good.
I really liked its chive texture and refresh flavor. 
What about the taste of soup?
It's really good too.
Very clean and smell's good.



 Is it look so good, right?
 I recommend to eat this dim-sum 
with soup at once.
You can experience dim-sum's good texture
 and soup's clean taste too.



 Just like this!!



 And the next menu is pork dim-sum.
This is the popular menu of this restaurant.
But they forgot to give me this menu.
They gave me the receipt first.
So I told them, I have to get one more menu!
 That is the Shiu Mai!!
So, 4 minutes later, I got a shiu mai dim-sum!



 Wow, it loos so nice.
It comes with some fish roe.
 Maybe it'll add some better texture and flavor.



 When I bit this,
I can experience pork's bold flavor.
(in a good way)
And really juicy and soft.
That was awesome!!



When I come out the store,
It became night already.
Actually, Rol-san's staffs were not kind enough.
But I acknowledge the taste!
So I decide now,
this is the good restaurant.!
