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 friend & I were really impressed with the food. Such great flavors & combinations. We will definitely come back. It is not authentic Korean food though it's just has some Korean inspired ingredients or flavors tossed into some of their dishes. More like western Asian fusion.

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 !!

My favourite asian fusion restaurant. I love how they change the menu seasonally while keeping the classics. The duck confit risotto is to die for, the raw oysters & the fried ones are fantastic well. Only downside is maybe the dessert, would love to see a change in the dessert menu. Keep up the good work! We love bringing our friends & family here

Best meal I've had in a while. It's Korean fusion, so it's interesting & delicious takes on regular dishes with a Korean twist. I'm definitely going back to try the rest of the menu.

Food is absolutely fabulous & one can see they take considerable time to prepare the food (marinating) before the actual cooking. Tastes are definitely not traditional Korean but fusion , however, are very likable & creative. The portion is small but IMHO, considering the preparation they took & the food taste, it does deserve the charged amount & they aren't crazily priced as well. Service is good & attentive. However, our server can spend a bit more time studying the menu details. Definitely recommending 9 Tails Fox & will return.

For the price, the portions are very small. Food is generally a bit bland or too salty. It's supposed to be a korean fusion restaurant, but all the korean inspired food do not really have any distinct korean flavour. Kimchi seasoning, jjampong, etc. do not taste like how they should. Just a "generic asian flavour". Service was decent, but could be better. Pouring water by reaching over the table & blocking the guests instead of pouring from the other side of the table, serving 5 shrimp chips for a table of 3 (like come on, the shrimp chip cost what, 5 cents each?). The atmosphere was okay but they leave the windows open & there are people smoking cigarettes & weeds on the streets & you can smell it all.

La qualité , la créativité & la simplicité sont les mots qui me viennent à l'esprit. Ce petit resto modest est tellement surprenant . Il offre des combinaisons de saveurs uniques avec leur concept fusion français japonais & une touche d'influence coréenne. Tout un succès !
