• Yes. We're Eating Again.

  It was a little tricky finding a Korean Restaurant for lunch on Boxing day but I have had my eye on Mal Li Jang Sung for sometime and they were open! Seven of us were comfortably accommodated in a semi private room with a round table and lazy susan which was brilliant. The one odd feature of this restaurant is that the privacy walls are frames of raw 2x4s….but it worked (maybe they are waiting on paint ?). Our meal started with a bit of a hiccup as we did not receive menus upon arrival. I am not shy and went to inquire after a few minutes. The servers were genuinely apologetic, brought us menus immediately and were very attentive from that point on (including helping us to decide how to feed all these people – my partners family!). We ordered the Korean Deep Fried Chicken. We asked for half with sauce and half without which came on two plates and was an enormous order!. It was very good! The kids ate it up!. Not overly spicy but so crispy and tender. We had Seafood Fried Rice which was also nice and came on a plate with black bean sauce as an option. Finally, we ordered a combo for 2-3 people which included Sweet and Sour Pork, Noodles with Black Bean Sauce and Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup. All of these dished were very good. The pork with crispy and sweet while the soup was again, not too spicy. The amount of actual seafood was not overwhelming (squid and mussels) but this was my partners favorite. Even with 7 of us, we had leftovers. The servers graciously packed it up for us. Just over $80 including tax and tip, I thought this was a smoking deal. My only regret is that we did not order the Pork Bone Stew (which has become one of my Korean favorites) which looked amazing in the pictures on the menu. All the more reason to come back! yeswereeatingagain.com

  Portions are big at Mal Li Jang Sung, so be prepared to eat. We ordered Combo A, which consisted of sweet and sour pork (tang soo yook), black bean sauce noodle (jja jang myun), and the spicy seafood noodle soup (jjang bong). We also ordered the sweet and spicy chicken (kang poong gi) and Korean pork feet (jok bal, which comes with radish kimchi, garlic, lettuce, and sauces).The sweet and spicy chicken was our favourite dish, very spicy with lots of flavour. We also really liked the sweet and sour pork. The noodle dishes were okay. As for the pork feet, we probably wouldn’t order it again.Service is not bad, prices are fair, and as mentioned portions are big, we were stuffed.

  Behind the chicken place on king george, theres this great restaurant. Food is great the black bean noodles and spicy seafood noodles are great, the sweet and sour pork is bomb. I think they make there own noodles? it has a greenish hue, but tastes better than the frozen yellow ones that most places serve. Drop by if you get the chance.

  Overall solid quality food, some pitfalls. I go mal li hang sung all the time, and every time enjoyed their food. When they introduced new Korean BBQ chicken in their menu I had to try it right away. But what I got was tasting like 3 days old chicken. It was the worst BBQ chicken I’ve ever had. Their kkanfungi is very soft and yummy which uses the same ingredient =chicken. So I’m not sure what caused such huge quality gap. Beware to order that menu. Also they are quite stinge and unaccommodating for take out customers. I’ve asked an extra danmugi (yellow pickes which is refillable when dine-in) once, and other time, asked to split 1 big portion item into 2 small containers instead. They refused both request cold and flat with no explanations of why. With this series of unpleasant experience, my royalty is now faded.

  Hidden Gem… Literally.. Not sure if this should be called fusion or whether it’s Chinese food dumbed down for Koreans the same way it used to get dumbed down for Canadians. Whatever it is, it’s a winning combination. The sweafood soup is excellent and although the black bean sauce doesn’t look very appealing, it’s truly awesome.The only drawback about this place is it’s location. It’s easy to forget that it even exists and impossible to see from the main road. If you decide to drop n here though, you won’t regret it.

  Great for those who have a taste for spicy food. Their Spicy Chili Champon (Which is a spicier version of their regular champon) is excellent. I come back again and again to this place just for the Spicy Chili Champon. Be warned, it’s very spicy if you’re not used to eating spicy foods regularly. I’ve seen 5-6 thai peppers in the broth of one bowl alone. Quite amazing though, how they maintain the flavours with that much spice. After tasting this, all other champon places pale in comparison since the Spicy Chili Champon packs in so much punch.

  Mal li jang sung. Service and interior are nothing to write home about but the food is yummy and the prices are very reasonablethe seafood fried rice is eggy, not greasy, and delicious.potstickers are crispy, juicy and plump. they seem homemade. but i wish they came with a dipping sauce as opposed to a side squirt of ketchup. the ketchup kinda cheapens the dishalso really like the half stir fried/half raw salad(??) dish yang jang pie. it is quite large so i wouldn’t order it unless there was a couple of friends to share it with.sweet and sour pork is yummy. a bit overbreaded and overcooked but i like that it’s crispy and the sauce isn’t too sweet or tart and it’s a nice change from the kind you get at a chinese restaurantmost of the dishes could do with a bit more salt tho
