Across reviews for HANA Korean Steakhouse, the consensus highlights a solid premium experience with a great vibe, a beautiful space, and steaks that are flavorful and cooked to perfection from high quality meat. The service is generally attentive and professional, and the experience feels smooth, though being a new opening brings some coordination hiccups and occasional long gaps between courses. The format often centers on a chef's tasting with multiple beef cuts, appetizers, jigae with rice, and banchan, with the staff cooking the meat at the table and a selection of sauces and condiments served to taste. While many dishes are praised for tenderness and thoughtful pairings, some tasting menu items are viewed as underwhelming for the price and desserts or sides described as ordinary. Yet certain elements stand out, including dry aged beef grilled in a Korean BBQ style, the harmony of multiple sauces, and a particularly lauded doenjang jjigae, with reviewers also noting a promising potential and a willingness to return for the chef's menu on a special occasion.View restaurant profile
Reviewers describe MajesThé Bistro Bar as a solid value with a varied menu ranging from crunchy karaage bao and top takoyaki to braised pork rice and chicken katsu curry, with generous portions and often affordable prices. The atmosphere blends a cozy basement vibe with lively karaoke nights and occasional live music, making it a good pick for casual nights, dates, or group outings, though the newer location can feel cold and the space small, so reservations are often advised. Service is consistently praised for being quick, friendly, and attentive, helping the experience even when busy, while a few notes mention occasional inconsistencies such as a dish that was burnt or flavors that were slightly imbalanced. The drink program stands out with creative bubble tea inspired cocktails and a selection of Japanese and fusion fare, and the overall value and quality lead many to say it’s a place they would return to, whether for a quick lunch, a longer dinner, or a corporate event near McGill and the metro.View restaurant profile
