Service is not good if you do not speak Korean. Asked for water 4 times and did not get it. After 1 hr of eating, we had gotten the bill, packed up what we haven't finished eating and left because I was super thirsty lol.
Luckily this place is super close to home.
Super convenient location; there is free street parking after 9pm. We ordered the cooking top pork belly. It's similar to Korean BBQ... more

Visiting friend in the nearby community over the weekend, the place we originally want to have dinner had a long line, have to wait 45-60 mins. Stop by this restaurant instead, still wait about 15 minutes.
We ordered sea food hot pot and came along with some samplers. They had clam, blue carb, shrimp and fish (don't know the name, has skin and bones, but tasty) mixed with other rice noodle and... more

At Finch, Lim Gah Neh is a very popular Korean restaurant chain in the heart of Uptown Koreatown. This location offers especially fresh and delicious cuts of barbeque meats such as beef ribs and freshly sliced pork belly, and this is the place for Korean barbeques. Besides that, I will order extra cold appetizers (panchan) as they are both sweet, fresh and savoury and is a great start to the meal.

This is my second time at Lim. Went for lunch with a friend. You can't miss the place with it's orange signage right at yonge and finch.

Pretty standard - their kimchi is actually my favourite. I was craving bibimbap today, so that's what I order. It was the cheapest one on the menu- I think veggie? I thought it would come with rice like it usually does but I guess not, and being shy me I... more

I'm a regular at the downtown ktown location, and i feel like this one is equally matched if not, a little better! (I felt like they had a bigger portion of the kbbq here).

Definitely a must-try for any fans of kbbq.

Solid food.

Service is typical Korean. If you don't flag someone down they ignore you. I don't know why all Korean places have such terrible service. Like 1 bottle of water is enough for 8 people eating spicy food?! wtf.

BBQ was solid. Beef was well marbled. Seafood soup was one of the best I've tasted. Deep flavor.

Simple food done right.

Surprised that they serve water instead of tea. The free pancake at the start was great and the pork bone soup was also delicious with a huge potato and a good amount of meat. The food came out super fast and all at the same time as well.

We came for lunch and ordered spicy chicken hot pot for 2 people, which was so good! We were so full. And the sides dishes were delicious too. Definitely will come back later on.

Came here on a weekend night around 11pm. Lots of people in the store still. The food and service really failed to impress. Service was inattentive. The place is small so its a wonder how they don't see your hand waving.

Food was nothing special. Pretty bland in my opinion. Yes I know I ordered a beef broth soup but it could at least have some beef flavour to it.. I felt like I was drinking... more

Disappointed with the blood sausage. Too bland. Bf had an order of fried rice, I ordered a soup and a medium blood sausage. Came to about 45. The food was ok, not as good as other have said

Cute small korean restaurant where you have an option to sit at a normal table or up on a wooden platform with cushions. Tv screens surrounding the small restaurant and at times they would play the recent popular k-drama. food is flavourful and delicious. servers are quick and friendly :)

In terms of food, one of the most authentic Korean restaurants that I've been to in Toronto. Lim is a last name in Korea; pronounced more like "Im" [eem]; so the restaurant's name may be translated into "Chez Lim" something like that. I like this location better than the one near Christie TTC Subway Station.

Don't expect a top quality service, because some servers may not seem comfortable... more

The food here is great especially for the pork bone soup and spicy chicken pot, the rice here is purple, the side dishes r delish,
but the service is low and we have to wait a long time to order and they don't provide tea pot for each table ( u have to ask them to refill ur cup, which takes forever)
They have seats that from Korea, which r uncomfortable for customers who have never tried those... more

One of my new favourite Korean restaurants in North York. I've been here on three different occasions over the past few months, and each time I tried something different with no disappointment.

First time I came with one my best buddies and we were seated on the raised floor. Despite having grown up in Korea, it was an uncomfortable, however authentic dining experience.

Food itself was quite... more

My favorite restaurant in the area.
Recommend beef rib (kalbi tang) soup, bbq fish.
Their kalbi is the best bbq beef rib I ever had in toronto. Definitely recommend.

Their potato side dish is also the best potato in toronto, not too sweet but very well marinated.

At last, the walmae rice wine is my favorite drink amongst all.

5 stars and definitely recommend, esp it's open 24hrs!

My go to place for Korean sausage, soon dae. The Korean sausage stew soon dae guk is amazing. Anyways would recommend this place. They even give wicked side dishes banchan. They give you Korean pancakes Pa jeon. Made just right not too soggy. A little crispy.

Decent place for some Korean food. There is a floor seating area which I cannot stand, so we had to wait for quite a while. Ordered bbq table cooking which was around the same price as nearby restaurants. The meat and side dishes were both enjoyed, especially the potatoes!!! However, we had ask the server for our rice and the onion salad for the wraps. This knocked down a star. Maybe an off... more

Seriously bad service... Needs improvement. Not that great here, the kalbi bbq tasted literally like nothing. Rice cakes are average - not special. I feel like it's overpriced too.

I like this place. They give generous amount of sides and I have to admit sometimes I come because I crave for Korean sides. The pork bone soup is yummy with good portion of meat and potatoes, and they serve purple rice here. They seem to be popular for their table side cooking/Korean hot pot and BBQ and it's quite enjoyable to come with friends during the winter for their hot stewed. The price... more

A decent Korean food joint in Korean town Toronto

The inside decor is pretty good, with "kneeling tables" on one side that looked pretty neat, as well as a TV playing korean drama, which the wait staff was watching when they were on break :) The food is pretty good as well--the pork bone soup had large pieces of pork bones, and the "snack dishes" they give out at the start are also pretty... more

Great late night 24/7 Korean restaurant to fill your Korean needs. Everyone is nice and great service.
I usually order Pork bone soup. Or Kal big short ribs or Kimchi fried rice. Those 3 are my top choices.

It's 4am. You're hungry, you need a drink but it's way past last call. What do you do?

|Lim Ga Ne opens super late that attracts the after-club crowd, but they don't sacrifice quality just because they know they're one of the only ones open.

Everytime i come here , my usual is the bbq pork belly they cook infront of you. For just 30$, the feast will feed at least 3 people.

They cook the meat... more

This is another standard Korean restaurant in the Yonge/Finch area. All the typical dishes you can find elsewhere you can also find here. We had the budae jeonggol (army stew) hot pot ($25) and the Chicken Katsu ($10).

Both dishes were good. The chicken katsu in particular was HUGE! The chicken was breaded just the right way and was crispy. Army Stew is...army stew. It's basically a collection... more

I thought this place was pretty decent, but apparently the table cooking dishes are BETTER. However, they require at least 2 people to eat 'em - ~$25.

I didn't want to handle bones, so I ordered the spicy beef soup (yukgaejang) - $9. It was alright, slightly watered down tasting. The PBS probably would've been better. Sides were alright, nothing to die for. Purple rice that the soup came with... more

If you're a fan of soondae (Korean sausage), Lim Ga Ne is the place to be!

You can order an assortment of pig organs or just the soondae itself. I personally did not enjoy my pig liver, so I only order soondae!

This place is known for their "out-the-door" queues but table turnover time is quick and the servers know how to act fast and efficient. Not only do they speak Korean and English, some... more

The location is great and the food is even better. It's a nice place to enjoy Korean food with your significant other or a group of friends. groups are nice as you get to order and try different Korean dishes. I'm not too fond of the cross legged traditional floor seating, but it's there for tradition sake. If you're going to try this place, which I recommend, I suggest getting there early or... more

Extremely rude waitress. I asked her if the fried rice has pork or beef and she shrugs and said she doesn't know and has such a bad attitude. She's the old one who can speak Chinese

So disappointing.. Considering I have been their customers for the past four or five years..it used to be my all time favourite until recently end of last year .. Their food started to taste different. And don't get me wrong it is still good.. But different not as good as what it was before. I used to drink their black goat soup, sweet and sour chicken and also their beef BBQ..
The most... more

The best Korean food in the area! Love it! I get the pork bone soup every time I go and it is great. Service is friendly and quick. Side dishes are great here as well.
It gets busy here so try to go a little earlier on weekends.

I really wanted to like this restaurant but it failed to please. Maybe it was the type of dish I ordered. I'm sure they have other great dishes here like the BBQ but its really hard to mess up BBQ. Got a pork bone soup and Soy bean paste soup with seafood. The pork bone soup was good - no real complaints her. Lots of meat and piping hot soup just like any other Korean restaurants. The soup... more

This place is pretty authentic. When you order bbq, they give u lettuce wraps for sure and the spicy salad side to go with it too. Most place don't do this.

Taste wise, it's pretty traditional. 24 hour service. Great for my 2am soup craving.

I really enjoy Korean food. But I feel like every time I come back there is something wrong....

Apps: not as many dishes as Nak Wan but sometimes they would refill it if you asked nicely.
Love: the purple rice
Food: I had a huge problem last time with one of our dishes (fried chicken w/ spicy sour sauce) . I guess this is expected. But the chicken had so much fat it was downright disturbing. I... more

Very authentic Korean cuisine. Actually reminds me of the restaurants I'd eat at in Korea (except they don't carry the metal chopsticks).

Eaten here twice. Both times the food was amazing and the portion sizes were extremely generous. The "table cooking" grill platters for 2 are definitely enough for 3 or 4 (if you're ordering other stuff on the side. The Korean sausages were delicious. And... more

Came here with a large group and they were regulars here so obviously we got good service. In fact, the owner pretty much ordered for us since they always order the same thing. We got spicy fried chicken, kbbq kalbi, and two soups that I didn't know the name of since I didn't even get to see a menu. They were also generous with banchans which were good, but I've had better at a few other... more

I love this place in winter. Love the table cooking, it doesnt really matter what kind of meat. They are all good. The portion is enough for three for sure. and the service is good. I find it reasonably priced for the amount of meat you get.
Just a note if possible don't bring your coat/jacket in. You will be leaving with a smell of korean food.

Make sure to check your bill before you pay. They tried to 'accidentally' add on extra $15 to my bill. This also happened to couple of my other friends. When I brought up the problem to the waitress, she tried to ignore the issue and didn't even apologize when she found out it was mistake on their end. There are so many other Korean restaurants in Toronto that serves better quality food with... more

Lim Ga Ne is up there with the best of the great Korean binge spots in this area.

Highlights of the experience include the low tables for traditional cross-legged dining (Westerners may experience acute paresthesia) and the banchan (complementary sides).

The more adventurous eaters will want to try their specialty, Korean Blood Sausage and even more hardcore choices like boiled liver, pig... more

Everyone has the right to their opinion, just like I have my own - but, when it comes to Korean food, I can say that it's rare that I find anyone who has frequented more Korean restaurants than I have. I have lived in the North York area for the last 15 years and have hung out in the old Korea town more times than I can count. Lim Ga Ne, is one of the very few Korean restaurants that started... more

Didn't know it's name, thought I never visited this place.
so one day I decided to drive around Yonge street, and now I remember...

me and my co-workers was in the area looking for something to eat for dinner. checking out the places along Yonge street and this place seems okay, we got seated at the table near the front window, seems cramped.

the banchan wasn't enough for 5 people, well, may... more

I give it 4 stars for the Gamjatang - there is SO much pork, there were two whole potatoes (Nak Won has like one and a half...it makes a big difference believe it or not), the port is sprinkled with mustard seeds and chopped green onions. The broth isn't as spicy as Nak Won which was a big plus because sometimes I feel like I'm burning a hole through my stomach...

It's pretty packed for dinner... more

Open 24hours

I came here for a late night dinner last night with the lovely Anastasiya.

We came here mostly to try some new banchans (other than what you get at Nak Won..)

Aside from the banchans, I ordered the

1. Kamjatang : Pork Bone Soup? YES PLEASE. It was amazing. SO MCUH MEAT. I couldn't finish. It was delicious. I think I like it more than I like it over at Nak Won 5/5

2. Kalbitang : Short Ribs... more

Been there twice and each time was mediocre. I know people who rave about this place and I am still trying to figure out why.

Korean food generally has so many powerful flavour explosions happening in your mouth - the garlic, the green onion, regular onion, chili, sesame oil, shiso, etc., but this place for me tastes like Korean hospital food. Truly does not do it for me.

A good place to go for a quick single meal alone or with a small group of friends.
Always gives a lot of side dishes and nice service.

I love this restaurant because of its convenient location, right at Yonge and Finch, and because they have mat seating on the floor for the tables by the wall which I think are fun. Their ban chans are pretty tasty (I think they give you around 6 plates) and their seafood soon tofu soup is especially good so if you're not sure what to get, try it!!

Delicious comforting Korean food at reasonable prices. The pork bone soup, kimchi & pork fried rice & bulgogi table cooking are all good.

It's only my second time going to this restaurant, but it's amazing. It gives you a very "homey" feeling when you walk in. The ban chans are amazing - different types and they also give you a seafood pancake.

I got my usual: soon tofu chigae. You can't go wrong with that. They also provide you with the purple healthy rice that comes with it.

I can't complain -- good price and you're always... more

I'm starting to think that I'm not a huge fan of Korean food outside of a couple of dishes.

My friend really wanted to try Korean sausage and heard that you can get it here. We had the Korean Sausage stew and pork hock.

The stew came in a boiling bowl and consisted of sausage and random pork offal. I wasn't a huge fan of this at all. It had a sort of gamey flavour.

The pork hock wasn't as... more

I came here with my brother - we were walking along Yonge and just decided to pick a restaurant randomly - we were there for a late lunch.

We were the only ones in the restaurant who didn`t speak Korean, servers spoke English with ease, so no communication problems there. You can choose between sitting at a lower table (and sitting on your bum) or sitting at regular tables.

Ordered the glass... more

Actually I will give 3.5
While studying, i usually get hungry every 2,3 hours ...... And it happened again, so hungry at 11: 30 PM. with 2 chapters to be finished. So i used it as an excuse to get a late, very late dinner.
I went pass Lim Ga Ne several times, since I just live across the street. It has a very interesting logo and I noticed it is open 24 hours.

The conclusion is :Not... more
