Toronto – Review – Bi Bim Bap (Vegan Friendly Korean food on Eglinton West)

In my recent and unquenchable search for vegan friendly kimchi in Toronto, I found a review on The Star that made us visit Bi Bim Bap for dinner that very evening. Ironically, the one thing I was searching for – the kimchi – has fish in it, but they have...
