SongCook's

I was meeting my mom and my aunt for lunch, so we found a somewhat halfway point and ended up at SongCook's.

Restaurant: SongCook's
Location: Thornhill
Meal: Lunch
Day: Friday
Son's Age: 6 months

As you probably know, I've already reviewed this place once before, and actually did not take any photos because I was not planning on doing another review given that I ordered something similar as last time. It turns out that I do need to update my review, so I'll make this short.

Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As I mentioned in my last review, there is an attached parking lot and plenty of space in the restaurant for the stroller. High chairs are available, and there is a nice change table in the washroom. Of course, there are still steps going toward the washroom so it's not entirely stroller accessible, but obviously I did not expect that to be corrected since my previous visit.

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was why I needed to update my review. Our server was a very nice lady who was prompt in taking our order and bringing our food. She made sure we had enough banchan. She seemed absolutely delighted to see my son and interacted with him. When I had arrived, it was raining outside, so I had a rain cover for the stroller and an umbrella for myself, not to mention a diaper bag. My mother tossed my things onto the table next to us, which I didn't really appreciate, but she insisted it was fine and no one was sitting there. Midway through our meal, a hostess was showing a party of four to the table we had taken over, and when she saw our things there, she quickly turned around and found another table to seat them at rather than tell us to move our things, which I thought was extremely courteous. Also, I was claiming a free pop, but since I don't personally drink pop, I asked my server if she could just bring me the can without opening it, since I wanted to take it home so I could offer it to a guest at some point in the future (yes, tacky, but I tend to have guests over last minute and I don't drink pop or juice so I can pretty much only offer water, milk, and alcohol). She was very nice in obliging my request. My mother also asked for a takeout container at the end since she did not finish her cham pong, and our server happily packed it for us. She noted that there was not much soup leftover and asked if that was okay - my mom had intentionally finished all the soup, so she was fine with it, but I can't help but wonder what our server would have done if we had said we were not okay with that. All in all, my experience here was tremendously improved based on the service that I felt went above and beyond.

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered the cham pong, just like my mother. I said this in my previous review, but the noodles here are the best I've had in the GTA, so if you are craving Korean noodles, this is definitely the place to go. I'm not sure how the other menu items taste since I generally order the cham pong and/or jja jang myun, but I'm sure it's worth trying another time.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Considering the quality of food and the overall accessibility, I think this restaurant is worth trying. Throw in the amazing service I experienced here and it's pretty much a no brainer to check it out if you happen to be in this neck of the woods.
