Bloor-Christie is the original Koreatown; the Yonge corridor north of Finch is the second. The 20 Korean kitchens licensed in the past 12 months sit across both anchors and the downtown spillover — gimbap counters, Korean fried chicken, soju-and-tteokbokki late-night spots, KBBQ houses. 0 of them in just the past 30 days.
