Take 31

Casual dining spot for Korean comfort food. We definitely ordered too much food for two because the portion was surprisingly big. Food was pretty decent. I love their creative take on comfort food. A must order would be their rice cake pork belly. Soft pork belly with sweet glazed and crispy edges with rice cake wrap was a mix of sweet and savory in a bite. The crispy corn pancake was also a favorite. This was crispy and buttery. The spicy soft tofu soup hotpot came in a huge pot, the broth was a bit under-seasoned for my liking. There’s always a wait in front so go early or book a table. Pricing was quite reasonable for the amount of food. We paid $75 for two person, but what we ordered could feed 3-4 people.

Friendly staff and bustling restaurant. The soju cocktail was nicely flavored and good to share for 2. We got the yuzu grapefruit cocktail. It had a nice yuzu flavored that was noticeable but not overpowering. We were pleasantly surprised with the complementary tteokbokki.

Recommend the fried chicken and short rib chapaguri. Great portion for both. Fried chicken was crispy with garlicky goodness.

Recommend fried chicken! You definitely need to make the reservation before visiting. Or get early to be on the wait list. It is a super popular restaurant in K-town. The space of the restaurant is not super big, but the vibe is great.

Definitely make a reservation beforehand and the service got us an early table. The food is serve semi fast and it was delicious. I love everything on that menu. A great spot that doesn't rush you and can sit and chat with your friends while enjoying great food. 10/10

This place was a lovely little Korean fusion restaurant that i walked by and immediately added to my list. The food was fantastic here. We ordered the rolled up cod roe omelette, seafood scallion pancake, pork belly rice crepe wraps, short rib chapaguri, and the signature white peach makgulli which was just enough food for three people.

They start you off with a serving of spicy tteokboki that really packed some heat and whetted our appetites. My favourites would have to be the cod roe omelette and the pork belly. The cod roe omelette was delicious, soft egg rolled up and drizzled with a creamy sauce and egg roe. I loved the pork belly. I'm always a fan of pork belly but here, they wrapped it in injeolmi which gave it a delectable chew that paired nicely with the soybean powder. The pork belly itself was tender and flavourful; definitely something to share. I love the homemade pickles that they served with it.

The seafood scallion pancake was alright, a bit too much batter but nice and crisp. The sauce that they serve it with really elevates the pancake. Good to try but I don't think I'd order it again.

The chapaguri was also yummy, the noodles were al dente and there was enough meat to share out amongst 3 people. Our egg was a little overcooked so we didn't quite get the oozey yolk that we wanted.

The makgulli was delicious. Has that slight characteristic tang but the white peach flavour really shone through and it was served super cold, with a bit of slush which made it the perfect accompaniment for dinner. We also wanted to try the yogurt and banana, i love that they have these unique flavours.

All in all, a fantastic dinner with truly delicious food. Ambiance was great, music was playing but we could still chat amongst ourselves and the service was great. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

The food is pretty good. Most them are kind of heavy though. We ordered the braised pork with rice crepe, fried chicken and corn pancake for two people. All of them are delicious, but we were not able to finish them. They also gave us a spicy rice cake as an appetizer.

Incredible food and great service. Everything we ordered was delicious and food arrived on a timely manner.

The dishes that stood out the most were the Rolled Up Roe Omelette and Pork Belly with Rice Crepe Wrap. The omelette was so soft and flavourful. The pork belly was tender and extra chewy the to the crepe wrap. The Crispy Corn Pancake was very crispy and delicious as well. The Cod Roe Seafood Udon was also delicious - the noodles were cooked perfectly and the soup base was very rich.

We also ordered the Garlic Crusts & Spicy Chicken and the Wasabi Cream Chicken. Both were good but not outstanding

In terms of drinks, we ordered the Macgeolli slush in the Yogurt and Melona flavour. I personally don’t like the melon melona flavour that much so that one was less enjoyable. The yogurt slush was delicious.
Finally, instead of the regular side dishes that Korean restaurants have (like Kimchi, potato), Take31 service spicy rice cakes (teokbeokki). As someone who loved spicy rice cakes, I was very happy with this throughout the dinner.

This place is super busy during dinner hours. I made a reservation one day ahead, otherwise I'll need to wait like 20 min to get a table.
The pork belly with rice crepe is a delight! I really like it. The rice crepe wraps are super soft and smooth. Also like the soybean powders.
Also got the fried chicken. It was also delicious, though not as impressive as the pork belly rice crepe.
Both dishes have large portions. I came by myself so I didn't finish either of it. Packed the leftovers for another meal.
They also give a free rice cake appetizer to each table.
