SWISH!


For our dear friend, FK's bday, we tried Swish by Han located at 38 Wellington St. E. Toronto. Swish is a tapas style korean fusion restaurant featuring Korean shabu shabu and ssam (hotpot & wrap). It's owned and operated by two brothers from Philly. Since opening it's doors in July 2009, Swish has a shifting menu that has also been adjusted in response to feedback from critics and customers alike. The setting is warm and welcoming, the customers ranging from yuppies to families and couples. Price point is great for this area. They also have large group sets and an after 10:30pm special $20 all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ!

We shared 4 dishes as well as a BBQ set which also comes with a stew, kimchi set and ssam set.
The seafood crepes, berkshire tacos, and lobster bimbimbap were excellent. The berkshire pork mandu (dumplings) were a big let down. Shared soju and a green tea bingsu dessert (shaved ice). Thanks to CC (2) for his recommendation, our meal was mostly a hit.
