Inside Hanyang Jokbal (Scarborough)
Hanyang Jokbal in Scarborough offers a straightforward, no-frills Korean dining experience centered around one of Korea’s classic dishes: jokbal, or braised pork hocks. Located in a modest strip mall on Silver Star Boulevard, this spot feels more like a local hangout than a formal restaurant, making it ideal for groups or families looking to share hearty plates and familiar flavors.
The atmosphere here is relaxed and spacious, especially compared to their North York location, with enough room to accommodate families (even those with toddlers) comfortably. Staff are attentive and warm, creating an inviting environment that feels less like a commercial restaurant and more like sharing a meal at a friend’s house.
What to order: The menu centers on different preparations of jokbal, including their popular honey garlic jokbal, spicy versions with rice cakes, and a half-and-half plate mixing bossam (braised pork) with jokbal. Portions lean generously large — a single dish is often more than enough for multiple diners, which suits groups looking to sample several shared plates. Beyond pork, side dishes like Korean seafood pancakes, sweet and spicy cold noodles, and corn cheese provide welcome variety. Those who enjoy a little heat will appreciate the spicy pork bone soup and spicy jokbal options.
The dining experience works well for casual dinners, especially when catching up with friends or family. It’s common to see groups taking their time over multiple dishes, pairing the rich pork with an array of banchan (side condiments) and sometimes Korean rice wine to round out the meal. Weekday evenings and weekends both seem to work well here without long waits, due in part to the roomy layout and efficient service.
Overall, Hanyang Jokbal suits diners who want a good, authentic jokbal-centric meal without pretense, delivered alongside friendly service and a relaxed environment. It’s a solid option for those in Scarborough craving Korean comfort food that fills the table and satisfies a crowd.
