Hancook

What is Hancook? Located on a bustling stretch of Bloor Street West, where Little Italy gives way to Koreatown, Hancook (officially Hancook Cheese Dakgalbi) is a laid-back, independent spot dedicated to authentic Korean fare. While its exterior is unassuming, the interior offers a clean and welcoming dining room, perfect for groups and casual meals. The focus here is on classic and contemporary Korean dishes, particularly their namesake dakgalbi.

Hancook Menu & What to Order The menu at Hancook shines with its customizable Cheese Dakgalbi, a hearty stir-fry of marinated chicken, vegetables, and rice cakes finished with a generous layer of melted mozzarella. Don't overlook the original Dakgalbi for a purist experience, or dive into comforting bowls like the Beef Bibimbap and the bubbling Pork Soft Tofu soup. Sharable options like the crispy Kimchi Pancake and Fried Vegetable Dumplings are also strong contenders. They offer a variety of spicy levels for their dakgalbi dishes.
