Jung Soo Nae Restaurant

What is Jung Soo Nae Restaurant? Tucked at ground level beneath a residential apartment block just north of Yonge and Finch (5754 Yonge St), this long-running Korean kitchen—officially rebranded as Finch JungSooNae—is a beloved North York institution. Operated for over a decade and a half by a warm family crew, the dining room has an unpretentious, home-style diner feel with simple wooden tables, booth seating, and bright, welcoming lighting. It operates as a true neighbourhood anchor where multi-generational families and Korean food purists gather over bubbling tabletop pots.

Jung Soo Nae Restaurant Menu & What to Order The indisputable star of the kitchen is the ganjang gejang (soy sauce marinated raw crab) and its fiery sibling yangnyeom gejang, both bursting with sweet, silky crab meat and savory brine meant to be mixed straight into hot bowls of white rice. Hearty, homestyle Korean staples round out the feast, including rich gamjatang (pork bone soup), pungent cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew), crisp haemul pajeon (seafood scallion pancake), and tender bossam served with spicy cured radish. Wash down the comforting spreads with crisp Korean beers or chilled soju, while vegetarians can lean into comforting doenjang jjigae and vegetable bibimbap.

Know Before You Go Reservations are informal and mostly handled by phone, but most parties walk in; expect weekend peak dinner rush waits between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. While it is an easy ten-minute walk north of Finch Subway Station, drivers will appreciate the dedicated parking lot situated behind the building. Note that the restaurant is closed on Tuesdays and operates continuously from lunch through dinner every other day.
