Our Story
The Heart of Our Restaurant
Korean Comfort Food. A Place for Everyone.
Our Commitment
100% Halal: Born From Our Story
Growing up in Singapore alongside Muslim friends, our co-founder Jennifer learned how food can bring people from different backgrounds together. That belief is part of Sarang Kitchen’s story. We are committed to serving 100% Halal chicken so that Muslim guests, friends, students, and families across the GTA can enjoy our Korean fried chicken with confidence and peace of mind. At Sarang Kitchen, we believe great food brings people together, and everyone deserves a seat at the table.

Sarang Kitchen started with Korean comfort food Deon grew up with.
When Deon came to Toronto, Deon wanted to share that feeling here.
My wife, Jennifer, is a special education teacher. Together, we wanted to create a place where everyone feels welcome, including neurodivergent people and members of the Halal community.
That's how Sarang Kitchen grew into more than a restaurant. We want Korean fried chicken to bring people together, so everyone can enjoy a meal at the same table.
See Our MenuA safe space for everyone
We believe in providing an inclusive environment for our staff, and the same goes for our guests. Our sensory boxes and multi-sensory room allow guests to dine in our restaurant at ease knowing that there are fidgets, weighted blankets, and noise-cancelling headphones they can use, and a sensory room they can relax in if they are feeling overstimulated or anxious.
Our Values
Empathy
We are mindful of how we need to treat all employees and customers with respect and kindness.
Connection
We value everyone's need for connection and we will be conscious about creating opportunities to foster the connection.
Diversity and Inclusion
We will build a culture where everyone feels like they belong. We celebrate Diversity.
Hospitality Included
Sarang Kitchen believes in equity
We follow a Hospitality Included (HI) model and discourage tipping because we believe our staff deserves pay equity and our FOH and BOH should both be compensated fairly. The revenue needed to pay them a well above minimum wage has been built into the menu items. We also provide extended health benefits for our staff.
