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.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. The jokbal was perfection: rich but not greasy, flavorful but not overpowering, and the balance of seasonings was chef’s kiss. Every bite felt like a little trip to heaven. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the kind of people who make you feel like you’ve just walked into a friend’s home instead of a restaurant. Amazing food, great vibes, and prices that make you double-check you’re not dreaming.

We made a reservation through instagram, they were very responsive. We had some friends visiting town, and the manager gave us the rice ball dish on the house, very generous! Everything was delicious as usual!

Our group randomly chose this restaurant coz it's the nearest from where we were. We ordered pork bone soup, bossam, corn cheese and rose tteokbokki. All was surprisingly delicious and worth the price! Excuse the unclear photo coz I took it too fast before eating and did not think I would give this place a review at first. Cheers!

Really great service and very spacious compared to the North York location. The food is amazing, the garlic and BBQ pork is especially good. We also ordered the corn with cheese and the rice. Not too many people, so we can sit comfortably and did not need to wait for too long. The hostess is really helpful and very gentle with our toddler, prepared a special set of bowl for her. We ordered two bottles of soju and they gifted us with an extra dish! Will definitely be coming back again very soon.

Food was too good. The portions for the meat are sooo big. The staff say that it’s meant for 2/3 people per dish but it was more than enough for 5/6 of us (plus other dishes) it’s just the amount of meat was huge

First time trying jokbal and we really enjoyed it! Took a while to come out as it was made fresh but worth the wait. Bbq and garlic jokbal were both super tasty and tender. The bossam was also very good but we definitely prefer the jokbal more. The kimchi and other banchan all tasted very fresh and were refillable! It’s on the pricy side but not too bad if sharing with others. Would come back to try the gamjatang, seafood pancake, and tteokboki as we saw some other customers order them and they looked tasty.
