This is our second time being here and we LOVE IT! First time around, I had the 1/2 Waffle Chicken and my gf had the Kimchi Ham Benedict. BOTH DELICIOUS! This time I had for Bulgogi Burrito and gf had the Avocado Croissant. Even though the Croissant came out a bit late, they were super friendly and my gf loved it! One of the best brunch spots I’ve ever been to! Fantastic food, service and experience overall! I tip my hat to the chef! Keep up the amazing work everyone!

This was my 4th time here and I’ve always loved it. Haven’t had a bad dish from the chicken and waffles to the frittata and pasta. Thankful to have a wonderful breakfast and brunch spot in the neighbourhood. Their menu is traditional Canadian brunch style with a touch of Asian (Korean) influence from the owners. Having been to South Korea many times in my life the service and fusion flavours are truly unique but give me hints of neat spots I tried on my travels but with a more North American twist. Will definitely keep coming back and continue to spread the word about this fantastic hidden gem. They have ample parking, cute indoor diner style seating and a nice patio for sunny days outside. The staff are always friendly and attentive and our server on this visit on Tuesday, July 2nd around 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM was absolutely awesome as well.

My fiance and I were there for breakfast on the weekend. We got seated right away as it was quiet inside. Our server was very kind and attentive. My fiance got the chicken and waffles with fruit and I got the spinach and feta benny with their side potatoes. Everything was delicious, quick and worth it. Will be back again for sure with family as it felt very homey and gave a calm environment while dining! Hard to find nowadays with some establishments having seating elbow to elbow, loud music playing and a booklet of a menu. Very cute spot tucked away and worth checking out-

This joint had been on my radar for ages, and I’m thrilled the stars finally aligned for a visit. It's a refreshing detour from your typical breakfast/brunch diner and in the best way possible. The Chicken Cobb salad was amazing. It was exactly my idea of a well-balanced meal, and I’d happily eat it any time. The Bulgogi eggs benedict was a hearty recommendation that hit the mark, though I might pair it with a side salad next time to balance things out. The Americano was a bit watery for my taste, as I prefer a richer, more rounded brew, but the coffee they use is good, as evidenced by the delicious Affogato. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can easily recommend this place.

Very good, it was quite a while ago I was there but was quite good. I sat outside on small patio, by choice, and i loved it, so i mention moderate noise. I think inside would be even quieter. Just a guess ? Enjoy the interesting and eclectic tastes of fusion meals, but they also do the usual staples very well, if not excellent ! Only reason I have not returned is due to distance from where I live.

Great brunch place! Excellent food and service. We sat on the patio on a nice sunny day which added to the experience even more. Recommend the beef bulgogi, very delicious and they don’t skimp out on the beef!! We ordered the beef bulgogi burrito and the beef bulgogi Benedict. We’ll definitely be back!

I had food from here a few months ago, and I still remember how good it was! The flavors were great, and everything tasted fresh. The service was also really warm and welcoming. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Consistent quality of food here at Kook's Cooks. The food is extremely tasty and there are a good variety of foods to try, ranging from pizza, pasta, brunch food, burgers, salads, and they come with some Korean flavours too. Everything is tasty and we usually try a few dishes to share. Makes me want to come back more to try every dish because of how consistent they are! They also had a recent renovation which has really lifted the atmosphere of the place up!
