Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
156 Cumberland offers a "phenomenal" dining experience with a modern Korean twist. Guests rave about the "amazing flavors," creative dishes, and "outstanding" service. Highlights include the ssam platter, short ribs, and mushroom jook. While the ambiance is intimate, some mention noise as a drawback. A "hidden gem" in Toronto!

    Some food was meant to served hot wasn’t hot enough, pork was too lean and dry. The staffs were friendly with cozy atmosphere Overall the food could have been better, maybe a little overpriced

    First time here, and we really enjoyed it! Such interesting and complex flavors. Everything was extraordinary. Mushroom jook was out of this world. Mackerel was perfectly cooked, which is not easy to do. And the gojuchang romanesco sauce on the Brussels sprouts was a surprise and delight. Will be coming back! Service was impeccable, as well.

    Top notch food and service. Everything we had was good. Stand out items are octopus, fried chicken, and bingsu (desser). Cocktails are inventive and interesting.

    My wife and I came here for the first time and the restaurant's Michelin Star was well-deserved. The menu was very focused, and each dish was very distinct from the others. We ordered the Stuffed Pepper, Sujebi, Skirt Steak, and ended with the Banana Milk Tiramisu. All of the dishes were made to perfection, but I was most impressed by the stuffed pepper and their 100 Year Old Cocktail. The serving staff were very professional and attentive, ensuring that our glasses were always full, and that our table was cleared, cleaned, and replenished with clean dishes and cutlery between courses in a timely manner. Looking forward to our next visit!

    The servers are friendly and welcoming . The bone-in beef ribs are exceptionally delicious, with a tender texture that melts in your mouth. They are served with fresh lettuce leaves for wrapping the meat, three dipping sauce and three side dishes. The meat is so flavorful that I find I don’t even need any dipping sauce. Enjoying this meal with my wifey leaves us both feeling completely satisfied.
