More than Parks, Kims and Kimchi in Koreatown
Article by Stephanie Klinger

Koreatown or Korea Business Area is located along Bloor Street between Christie and Bathurst Street. There you can find karaoke bars for the singers or really good restaurants with pork-bone soup, a popular Korean dish in Toronto, for the ones that love to eat.


Besides that you can also find bakeries, gift shops, grocery stores, and travel agencies catering to the Korean-Canadian community. Today, although many Koreans work in the region, very few Koreans actually live in Koreatown.


In addition to that, Toronto has a new Koreatown that emerged in North York along Yonge Street between Sheppard Avenue and just north of Steeles Avenue. It began to grow in the early 1990s and is also a good place like the other.
