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!
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.
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.
