Korean food for the most part is pretty tame compared to other countries. Growing up Korean, I (like many other Koreans) would put a ton of hot sauce in my bi bim bap, but totally got my butt kicked by other cuisine's hot sauces.
The burrito place by me (Fat Bastard Burrito - Etobicoke) changed their hot sauce to incorporate ghost peppers. Yesterday, I got a line of hot sauce on my burrito. It was powerful, but didn't have a lingering sting like many other hot peppers. After finishing it, my mouth was fine, but my stomach hurt for roughly 30 mins before it settled down.

Have this at restaurants (Bashu) and make at home...kids will eat it (almost in tears...big pissing contest between them).ji2o0k wrote: ↑If you are in the downtown Toronto Chinatown area...I suggest you try:
Sichuan Garden
359 Spadina Ave
Toronto, ONT
M5T 2G3
And order the Shui Zhu Yu (sichuan style boiled fish)
Spiciest thing I have ever eaten and I was dating a girl that loved spicy food so I had to eat it....built up a bit of a tolerance but every time I ate this dish.....I would wake up at 3am with stomach aches and fiery explosions....goodness...

Bi Bim Bap sauce is made mostly of gochujang, I believe, so its mostly fermented bean, which is why it isn't that hot and maybe even a little sweet.

I found the Korean food in Korea way more spicier than the food here to the point where I was practically begging for mercy. Even Koreans I've known from Korea say it's oddly sweet in Toronto. Even NY's Korean food was alot spicier I though (ie. Octopus Stirfry).joeyjoejoe wrote: ↑Korean food for the most part is pretty tame compared to other countries.

Another place downtown: Salad King - anything on the menu with 20 chilies.
Can't help OP out with places in Scarorough, but most wing places have their own version of "Armageddon Wings".

I think I read some studies a few years back showing evidence that a desire for spicy food is related with masochism. I guess we're all just crazy.
