About

9 Tail Fox delivers a focused exploration of Korean culinary traditions through a menu defined by interactive tabletop BBQ and artisanal dumplings. Patrons engage with high-quality protein selections that are seared directly at the table to ensure precise texture and flavor development. The kitchen emphasizes bold seasoning profiles, utilizing fermented components and signature sauces to elevate the preparation of grilled meats. Beyond the grill, house-made dumplings feature thin, resilient skins encasing savory fillings that highlight traditional spice balances. The interior environment facilitates a communal dining approach where the heat of the cooking equipment remains the central focal point of the meal. This establishment prioritizes the authentic execution of classic recipes while maintaining a functional atmosphere centered on the technical skill required for proper Korean charcoal or gas-assisted grilling techniques.

Notre troisième visite dans ce beau petit restaurant décontracté qui ne fait aucun compromis sur le raffinement de sa cuisine. Une belle fusion créative, à la coréenne, qui met en valeur les talents du chef. Le service sympathique & accueillant ajoute à l'expérience. Une valeur sûre pour un rendez-vous charmant ou pour une sortie entre amies. Adopté pour nous!

We are very particular & this discovery SCORED on all fronts. The atmosphere - it is a small trendy resto; servers are very personable & attentive. Then there is the fusion style korean cuisine with French overtones which was excellent - balanced, wonderfully creative. We will be back. Met the chef & servers Justin & Chanel !!

We were charged a dish extra & a glass of wine we hadnt ordered. They gave us a bit of soju to make up for it but they were clearly understaffed with 2 waiters & the 2 chefs for the whole packed restaurant on a Saturday night. Waiters were good & did their best tho. The chefs are really good & some of the dishes are exquisite (gnocchis, fried oyster), others are more just deep fried with no presentation like the pleurotes. Overall bill was 140$ for a bottle of wine & 4 dishes which is more pricey than other similar restaurants. Not bad but bit great either. Appreciated it but will not return.
