It was raining outside and I and husband were two days old to the city. We were in the neighborhood and decided to grab some Korean. He had been meaning to try it for a while, I am a Korean food junkie.
Having been here before I really liked it, so we decided to stick to eating here and not being very experimental.
It's a small family run Korean business as are most in the neighborhood. There is not much to the ambience and the service is done by the family as well. It is a well structured menu with a choice of sides, soup and noodles, rice in stone pot etc. Our order were
KIMCHI SEAFOOD PANCAKE (13.99) With morsels of squid and green onion, this was a delight to chew on. For two people with rather small appetites this was a task to finish. Lovely flavors hit you with the first bite and you want to keep eating it. A must try.
PORK BONE BROTH (11.99) : It is their speciality item and although husband isn't comfortable eating bones on meat, he decided to give it a try. And was glad he did, the meat slid of the bone into the broth. The broth had mung beans, napa cabbage, other veggies but primarily a lot of well cooked pork. It was so good, now wonder it is their speciality item.
The lovely sight of the Banchan had the husband excited like a child and he tried all of it, like a snack in the broth with the pancakes. There was Sweet potato, seaweed, Bean sprouts, kimchi and rice. He loved all of it and the food and was happy as a lark.
We loved the food here and is highly recommended, weekends get very busy and you may have to wait for a table, weekdays are usually easier to get to your food.
A heads up it's a cash only place so be ready to shell that out.
At around 26 bucks for two people and the portion sizes it is slightly on the expensive side. It is for days you want to celebrate a small achievement and have the money too!! The food however is superb and definitely worth trying.

dre: I met a friend for lunch here in the heart of Koreatown. She suggested Sunrise House, which is located on Bloor between Christie and Bathurst. I don't know how she decided on this place over all the other similar restaurants in the area. Goes to show word of mouth really works especially when you're overwhelmed with the number of choices.
One of my go to spots in K Town. Try to go outside of peak hours or you may end up waiting awhile for a table. There's a wide range of choices to order and the value of food you get is great!
Service is very attentive. My friends and I usually over order just so we can have leftovers.
efficient service, LIPSMACKING side dishes and subtle main dish (vegetarian noodle soup). Definitely recommend anyone to try out this restaurant!
This place is awesome the side dishes are great and they give u so many different ones and the stews are to die for on a cold day! Very cheap and portion sizes are great! It's always busy but the food comes out so fast that the wait is never that long! Defined recommend! I'll be back!
good food but bad service. The young waitress was like someone own her millions..
Just a bite from our full review -
"The restaurant is bright green outside and inside which was a surprisingly non-appetizing choice of colour. It felt more like a variety store."
"Our steamed Chicken Dumplings were not too impressive. We should have probably ordered beef or even pork variety to get more taste of these steamed pockets. The chicken meat made the dish dry and unenthusiastic."
Sunrise is my go to place for Korean food. The dishes are authentic, delicious and well priced. Portions are huge which is great for sharing. The side dishes are of good quality too.
I have always had excellent service when I have been there no matter how busy it gets (and it certainly does get busy). Everything I have had has always been excellent.
Went here for a late quick dinner after a busy week. Really hit the spot for honest tasty food at unbelievable prices. Also best side dishes we have had for a while! Look forward to coming back week after week.
Nice, cozy Korean place. I've never had anything there except for the gamjatang for 2 because it's just that great! A huge pot of it leaves you sooo full and satisfied.
