Korean BBQ Asian

Review Summary

Hwang Kum is described as a cozy, small, family-owned Korean spot that locals often return to with friends and family. Strong praise centers on jokbal, pajeon especially the seafood pajeon, and a variety of noodles, along with bulgogi, samgyetang, tteokbokki and a generous pork bone soup, all said to be prepared fresh with distinct flavors and textures and to be complemented by tasty banchan and sauces. The dining experience is described as small and sometimes busy, with lines common and street parking usually available, and hours can vary so checking Google for open days is advised. While prices can be on the higher side, the quality, generous portions, and friendly, speedy service consistently earn high recommendations, with some reviewers calling it the best Korean food in Montreal.View restaurant profile
