Sinjeon Finch

What is Sinjeon Finch? Sinjeon Finch is the prominent North York outpost of South Korea's iconic street food franchise, located at 5 Byng Avenue just steps east of Yonge Street and Finch Avenue. Revered among international students and fans of Korean culture for its intensely spicy and addictive pepper sauce, the modern fast-casual shop delivers authentic Korean bunsik (street snacks) in a lively, youthful environment.

Sinjeon Finch Menu & What to Order The undisputed star is Sinjeon's tteokbokki, featuring chewy cylindrical wheat and rice cakes simmered in a glossy, fiery chili sauce customizable by spice level. Diners looking for rich textures order the Creamy Rosé Tteokbokki or top their bowl with a thick blanket of melted mozzarella cheese. Dip your sides directly into the sauce: crispy deep-fried fish cakes, crunchy gimmari (seaweed-wrapped glass noodle rolls), and fried dumplings are mandatory pairings. Don't skip the Sinjeon Cheese Kimbap, tightly rolled with kimchi-seasoned rice and a molten core of stretchy mozzarella, or the savory Spam and mayo rice cup.

Know Before You Go Located off Yonge Street at Byng Avenue, the restaurant is less than a two-minute walk from the Finch subway and GO terminal. Street and commercial parking can be found along Yonge and nearby side streets. Sinjeon's default spice levels pack substantial heat; first-time diners are advised to start with mild or rosé varieties before venturing up to the authentic spicy tier.
