Jung Soo Ne Restaurant - Richmond Hill

When I am in the mood for genuine, authentic Korean cuisine, this is my go-to spot.__Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, it is definitely worth it.__The quality of the gochu is top-notch.

We came for lunch on Sunday and found the restaurant to be small, but we were promptly seated at a table.

I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this restaurant, but it appears to be family-owned and the staff all speak Korean. The food is not outstanding, but...

The GanJang GeJang raw crabs arrived in two plates and split open to reveal the guts inside each small blue crab. It looked mighty fresh. Gen was a big fan of the special soy sauce blend and taught us to eat it by taking some of the rice and putting it into the shell of the crab in order to use up the soy sauce blend. The soy sauce was actually really delicious!The difference between cooked crabs and raw crabs is that the meat in the raw crab was very gooey, with its texture and consistency similar to that of egg yolk. It was chilled and very gooey. You cannot distinguish any ‘meat’ inside at all. It also took a bit of time to chew through the shell and legs of the crab in order to eat it. However, it was a very unique and satisfying experience! The rice really went well with the soy sauce blend as well.

This great Korean restaurant moved to 390 Steeles Avenue W Vaughan, ON (from Richmond Hill) If you like good and spicy Korean food this is a place for you. They have homemade rice wine, very nice.
