“ Had boneless chicken ‘Gangjeong’ ‘Original hot’ flavour. It was crispy and juicy Shrimp & Spicy Pork Gimbap are both yummy! I became a big fan!! Best Gimbap in Toronto Must try!! ”
“ This place is a local gem—a LOCAL GEM!!! The food here is absolutely fantastic, especially considering the price point. They offer such a diverse selection of Korean dishes, which is impressive for the area. It’s so convenient to have this spot close by instead of having to go to more popular Korean food hubs like Koreatown or Yonge and Finch, where there are a million Korean restaurants. I’ve been on the hunt for great Korean fried chicken, and honestly, even in those popular areas, I usually find the chicken too dry for my taste. But here at K-Food Kitchen? They’ve nailed it. The food is excellent, and they offer a broader range of dishes compared to other Korean spots I’ve tried. I also LOVE their portion options. At most expensive Korean restaurants, the smallest size chicken is usually 20, but here they offer a small size for just 10, a medium for around 15, and a large size too. It’s such a great deal, and the smaller sizes make it easy to try a bunch of different flavors without breaking the bank. Now, I’m not saying this is the best Korean food in terms of quality—you can only go so far with a low price. But when you compare it to other restaurants and factor in the price and quality simultaneously, it’s definitely better than many spots I’ve tried. I ordered delivery through Uber Eats, and it was so good I can’t even imagine how amazing it would be fresh at the restaurant. I’m already planning to visit in person soon! Here’s what I got: • Fried Chicken Sandwich Only – 12.95 (3rd FAV!) • K-Fried Boneless Chicken (Small) with Gangjeong Sauce – 10.95 (MY FAV !!!) • Bulgogi Cheese Fries – 11.95 (2nd FAV !!) • Gimbap & Chicken Combo (Bulgogi Gimbap Honey Soy Garlic Chicken) – 15.00 All of this totaled to just around 50, even with delivery fees included! The quality, flavor, portion sizes, and value are exceptional. My family will definitely be ordering again and can’t wait to try more from the menu. Highly recommend—so glad we found this after scrolling forever on the app!!! ”
“ I tried gimbap, tuna gimbap, and gangjeong, and they were absolutely delicious! The gimbap was large in size and filled with plenty of ingredients, so I felt full. The gangjeong was crispy, with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce, but it was truly tasty. I can say it's the best in Toronto! ”
“ Already eat lots of years,congratulations to k food kitchen move to new place,really very very delicious,your gimbap is always my favourite! Especially egg and tuna gim bap!! Fried Chicken also delicious ”
“ It’s a great take out spot for some amazing bimbap and fried chicken! People wrote before how the Korean Fried chicken is perfect. They were RIGHT! The food was made fresh. I scarfed down the meal so fast that I almost ordered a second. I’m looking forward to being back to try the other items. Nana, the owner was so nice. She explained the menu and even gave me a fantastic cup of coffee. They roast coffee here too, so you can buy yummy beans here too. She let me eat in the front since I was rushing to eat before my next errand. Highly recommend this place . Beef bimbap was yummmmy ”
“ The food tasted hot and fresh. The flavours were perfectly balanced btwn sweet, tangy and spicy. The portion was generous and good value for the price. I really enjoyed my fried chicken bowl and can't wait to go back to try another item. ”
“ Wonderful spot in an industrial park, had excellent fried chicken (curry salt) and a banana pudding, with breadcrumbs on top and nuts inside, lots of banana. Messy looking but tastes yummy :) ”
“ This place is truly a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious, and you can tell everything is made with care. The fried chicken was so crispy even though it was coated in sauce. On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend! ”
