Flavour bombs in a Canadian-Korean gastropub
Oddesoul is a Canadian-Korean gastropub. It’s probably the only one in its category in Toronto. Sure, there are loads of Korean gastropubs in the city but none of them push the fusion envelope that far. Far from fusion confusion, nearly every dish is excellent.
Oddseoul is one of the earliest kids on the Ossington block. The strip of Ossington Avenue between Dundas and Queen Street has grown into a culinary mecca in the past decade. Oddseoul definitely helped build that reputation. Despite its success, Oddseoul is oddly low-key. There is no signboard and I’ve walked by it accidentally on more than one occasion. The only clue is the inconspicuous letters on its mailbox. For the longest time, its online presence was just a stagnant Instagram page. The COVID-19 pandemic finally forced them to create a DoorDash account for takeout orders.
