The Owl of Minerva - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Only tons of green onions were in their "seafood pancake" if you like flour and green onion then go ahead. "seafood" means just quater finger nail size squid and servral small shrimp. Grab your own Korean cookbook and make your own at home is way better than spend $30 ... just on the dough. Absolutely not worth it at all. Even Chinese food is more honest than this Read more

I’ve been to this Owl location in Richmond Hill on multiple occasions over the years. While menu prices have steadily increased, the Korean flavors here are still among the better ones nearby. After all, the Owl chain is among the original Korean food in the city. The go-to is still the ... Pork Bone Soup in either individual portions or the family hotpot style that feeds 2-3 people. I also enjoyed the heat of the spicy squid sizzling plate which came in a generous portion. Both of these and many other dishes come with rice. Side dishes tended to be slight let-downs, as the house kimchi didn’t taste great here. I was also surprised they ran out of bibimbap when we tried to order it initially. The service here is straight to the point without the customary friendliness at some other Owl locations. The interior is clean although on the smaller side. It has one door straight into the interior which gets chilly. Fortunately Korean food is hot comfort food. Read more

I was in the area and this place caught my eye. I decided to stop by for a quick lunch. They had an extensive lunch menu. I ordered dakchulpan which was spicy chicken with vegetables served with rice and kimchi and a drink. The service was quick and professional. The ... food was really tasty and I enjoyed my lunch. Take out container was sealed and not resealable which was inconvenient. If you pay cash there is a 5% discount. Worth the visit, Read more

The food here is amazing! Had the following dishes: Family sized Pork bone soup 2 different types of Korean fried chicken (both delicious). Beef short ribs (probably the best I've ever had) Will definitely going again and again!

The pork katsu with rice is nice. The fried pork is crispy. The flour surface is thin. The meat is of good quality. The sweet and sour sauce for the katsu is well balanced. Instead of pouring on the katsu and undoing crispy surface, it is served in a separate small container. ... This reflects that the chef attends to details. Also appreciate very much that furikake / rice seasoning is applied. What impresses me most is the lemon dressing on the salad. This makes the salad strikingly refreshing in particular in the late summer. The attendants are friendly. (We spent almost two hours there but they were friendly throughout the meal). The environment is also good. A delightful experience in dining at this restaurant . Read more
