Tail Fox delivers exciting Asian fusion flavors with a chef driven menu that blends Korean techniques with French and Italian influences, presenting creative dishes in generous portions. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, with attentive and friendly staff and a view of the kitchen counter that many guests enjoy, plus a strong drinks program. While service is usually warm and professional, a few visits note moments of being a touch inattentive during peak times and some prices feel high for the portions. Overall the restaurant reads as a neighborhood gem, with oysters, dumplings, crudo and other standout plates that balance bold flavors with refinement, and many guests look forward to returning to try the rotating menu.
Truly a remarkable restaurant, close to Lionel-Groulx Metro station! Inventive modern Korean Faire (with Italian influences) with a focus on shared plates. The burata, crispy dumplings, oyster mushroom tempura, & kimchi were all delicious. Well worth return trips.
My entire experience from start to finish with 9tail fox was incredible. The service was impeccable, everyone is so friendly & incredibly fun to talk to. The food was outstanding - the kimchi caesar (top 3 i've ever had), the dumplings & fried oytser mushrooms had the most incredible flavours. As a vegetarian, they have a ton of options! I will definitely be going back, as soon as possible !

Sortie avec des amis : accueil & service super sympathiques de la part de Justin. Il nous a fait des recommandations bien équilibrées & adaptées pour partager. Dumpling, paella, & Crudo vraiment très bon. Next time on attaque la pieuvre mais on y retourne c'est certain
A fantastic Korean fusion restaurant with a unique rotating menu of creative dishes. If you're lucky & it's available make sure to try their steak Galbi, oysters, & dumplings.
Our group of 5 had the pleasure of dining here the other day to celebrate a birthday & a graduation.
Everything was perfect: the cozy cute atmosphere, Chanelle's friendly & attentive service, & the tasty dishes with some surprising & delicious spices & flavours! We tried the fresh fish with kimchi, the seafood paella, the duck, & the octopus. The oysters & dumpling appetizers were also out of this world, so was the cocktail! Highly recommend, we found our new neighbourhood gem 💗
This restaurant was amazing!!! Every single dish we tried was delicious, though the group's favourites were the dumplings, shrimp boa buns, gnocchi, oysters & steak frites. The service was outstanding - we would definitely go back!

Bravo à ce petit resto sud-coréen! Le service était impeccable. Le menu varié & différent est composé de plats à partager. Ils semblaient tous aussi appétissants les uns que les autres. Mon coup de coeur va au dumpling qui avait une texture vraiment intéressante (sa cuisson était parfaite). Nous avons aussi mangé les pleurotes frites avec l'aïoli, la salade césar au kimchi, le plat de maïs & pain brioché & le poulet frit. & le coup de coeur de mon chum revient à la longe de porc frite qui vaut vraiment le détour. Elle était juteuse & la panko maison était délicieuse. De plus la portion était assez généreuse. Nous étions déçus de ne plus avoir de place pour le dessert car les plats proposés étaient alléchants. Nous y retournerons à coup sûr !
Nous avons dîner à 9 TAIL Fox & ce fut une superbe expérience ! Les serveurs s'assurent en début de repas de nos allergies alimentaires attention très apprécié ! Nous avons pris plusieurs plats à partager un pure délire nous avons pris les Dumplings, les Aubergines frit, la Burrata kimchi de tomate incroyable! Nous avons aussi pris les boulets d'agneau, le poulet un peu déçu par le poulet mais rien de bien grave ce n'est que nos goûts & pour finir la tarte Pécane glace gingembre nous nous sommes régalés ! Le restaurant est très jolie très cosy la musique superbe on se sent transporté l'instant d'une soirée ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!
Délicieux ! Cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé des plats aussi savoureux à Montréal. Les dumplings sont exceptionnels, les accords justement maîtrisés, les sauces sont toutes délicieuses, la viande est tendre. Allez y les yeux fermés !
Very creative Korean-ish food. Dumplings with soy sauce & truffle oil, kimchi pancake with a baby shrimp salad on top, pleurotte mushrooms crispy fried. I didn't try any if the meat dishes but the tonkasse, duck & fried chicken all disappeared. Staff was incredibly friendly. The music was good (but a little too loud). On a great restaurant street, this was a great find.
Dumplings were very good, but other menus were a bit disappointing because it lacked flavor imo, although it was still good. But realistically, I don't see myself coming back here to try other menus. Price is nice for a high-end restaurant. One thing that I found weird was that the server(s) was wearing an Adidas jogger, which I dont think matches the environment of the restaurant. Turned the nice restaurant vibe into a family owned restaurant real quick loool. But they were nice!

Great all around. The dumplings are a must order, I'd skip the tonkatsu not because of the execution, but because it's a pretty basic dish. Great soju & wine selection.
Had a chance to sit in terrace on the perfect weather! The food is always amazing. I love how they twist authentic Korean dishes with various interesting flavours! The dumplings, donkatsu & kimchi fried rice are my all time favourites. The service was very nice & welcoming. I really loved the whole atmosphere. I'll visit again soon :)
Came here for date night, as I've been wanting to check it out for a while. I appreciate the plant decor everywhere! Don't love the high seating as it's less comfortable for shorter folks, but overall nice atmosphere. Interesting food items (chicken hearts for ex.) alongside what I consider to be "Montreal classics" like burrata, salmon tartare & Caesar salad - but with their own spin. The Caesar was veryyy creamy & we didn't notice the kimchi flavour. The dumplings were delicious but the order only comes with 2 (will leave you wanting more). The shrimp toast was also a small portion but very tasty. Finally, we had the snow crab pesto homemade capellini which was very good too. There was a hint of maybe anis or fennel that threw us off at first but we came to appreciate. Be aware that it's not big portions & can add up quickly. Overall nice experience!
We were a big group & did the fixed menu; the services were all incredible. The first amuse-bouche was a crispy & savory porchini&truffle dumpling which really set the tone for the deliciousness of the following dishes.
