The price is on the expensive side, but the food quality is awesome. Even as simple as simple pork bone soup, they cooked it long enough to make it tender and melt in your mouth. The sundae soup was milky and mellow. The sundae was mixed with chive to make it rather savoury. Side dishes: 5/5 Pork bone soup: 5/5 Sundae soup: 4.5/5

I was in the area on a business trip, and I was craving some hot broth/soup. Found this place and decided to give it a try. I came inside the restaurant to order take out. The restaurant was nice and clean, and had a great atmosphere to it. The staff were really nice and friendly. They greeted me and offered assistant. I ordered Daeji Gukbap, which is a Korean pork bone soup. It came with thin slices of pork and a side of rice. It was really delicious and comfort. I also ordered Modeum Soondae, which is Korean blood sausage and organ meat platter. Everything tasted really good and authentic. I really love the place, and will definitely come back in the future when I’m in the area.

The restaurant is very spacious and authentically renovated. We came around 6PM for dinner and was seated right away by a friendly staff. The food is on the pricer side but was packed with flavour and delicious. The banchans were unlimited. They also have daily specials as well so remember to check those out!

Good spot for korean food in the suburbs. Everything ordered was great, and the complementary side dishes (Banchan), with refills were a very nice addition. Also offers a decent variety of vegetarian options.

I've been here for both lunch and dinner, and this restaurant never disappoints. There are so many tables and booths so it is very spacious. The service is top-notch, and when you are seated in a booth, there is a service bell. The food is delicious, but be mindful of some dishes because they are truly spicy. This authentic Korean restaurant is definitely a favourite.

Went here for Father's Day dinner. I've never gone here with a large group/ordering a la carte but was worth it and highly recommend! Huge portions and between 6 people and 5 things ordered there's enough for several meals tomorrow. My parents are not super familiar with Korean food but had a great experience and ate more than they usually would. Everything was delicious, came out timely and staff was very attentive and friendly despite it being busy.

Apre-ski meal in Scarborough, De Chou is a great place if you're looking for traditional Korean cuisine. With ample seating, great service, and menu options, we were pleased. Their prices are reasonable, and they've got great menu sets. We tried their blood sausages, which was a great appetizer to our main course. For entree we opted for their beef intestine/tripe hot pot served with two bowls of rice and your korean side dishes; fish cake strips, tofu, kimchi, etc.

This is my family’s second time coming here and it’s definitely a nice korean restaurant in both price and quality of food. The staff are extremely nice and welcoming, while the restaurant itself is always clean. There’s a variety of appetizers given out with the food, and the portion sizes are great. We ordered the jajjangmyeon, kamjatang and dongpayuk bap. Would definitely recommend!
