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.

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 !

The menu at this place is my local favourite. Fresh & lively Korean flavours presented with French savoir-faire & heartiness. The kitchen service is relatively quick. The vibe is super cool, yet elegant. It's fun to be able to see the chefs working behind the bar. The wait staff are warm & very knowledgeable about the menu & wine pairings. My only quibble would be that when it gets busy, the staff are just a touch unattentive. Every visit has been wonderful & I look forward to returning soon.

Highly recommended! Bravo Chef Lee!
We had a wonderful dining experience at ???. Loved the lively atmosphere, attentive servers, & of course the food.
We tried 6 Korean forward dishes from the menu & had a pleasant surprise.
The food looked ordinary until you took the first bite. The delicious main ingredients were complimented by 8 different Devine sauces, I meant really different.
Chef Lee brought our taste buds on a journey, from simplistic to multilayer flavour. This restaurant is a hidden gem in plain sight!

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 💗

Came across this restaurant coincidentally & I'm pleasantly amazed! The food was delicious, the decor & music amplified the experience.

We took the mushroom dumplings & the fried eggplant. De-Lish ⭐?

Crudo was surprisingly light & fresh.
Lamb skewer was flavourful & rich.
The fried chicken was tender & bursting with flavours.

We ended the night with the matcha cake. Perfectly light & airy.

I love the food here. Prices are very affordable compared to the quality of food you get in return. I'm always very impressed by the different ingredients they pair together, which you'd think would never work but end up being just the best surprise for your taste buds. The food is always super flavourful. & the desserts are sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!! I highly recommend this place.
