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.
9 Tail Fox is doing it right! The team creates a fantastic culinary experience, rooted in chef Lee's heritage, blended with French & Italian techniques. Delicious! Thank you to Chef Lee, Justin & Veronique for the amazing evening, & perfect service. I highly recommend you visit 9 Tail Fox & the fun & delicious environment they create.

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 💗
First & foremost thank you Chanel (i think that's how it's spelled) for the amazing & friendly service!
I highly recommend everything on the menu to be honest. So my review is not helpful. But if I must choose, my personal favourite is the galbi! If anyone likes fruity & strong cocktails, the Gringo in Korea is amazinnnngggg!
Gorgeous dishes / presentation.

Our favorites are the eggplant & the chicken dish.
Beverage:
My husband had PA beer 🍺

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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Dining Experience! We had the pleasure of dining at FOX Tail on Notre-Dame, & it was absolutely incredible! The food was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, & beautifully presented. The ambiance was chic yet cozy, creating the ideal setting for a memorable evening. What truly set the experience apart was the outstanding service. Justin went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. His warm demeanor, attention to detail, & great recommendations made our night even more enjoyable. I highly recommend FOX Tail to anyone looking for amazing food & top-tier service. We'll definitely be back-thank you, Justin, for making our visit so special!

The food was very delicious. The staff is very kind & the cooking staff is friendly as well! I highly recommend! I will be coming back :) I got the oysters & they were so fresh, the definitely care about the quality!
Finally a restaurant with a decent music volume level! It was very easy to speak even if there was a small background music noise. I loved it! On the food scale, it was AMAZING for everything: - the dumpling was just drooling & tasteful 🤤 - the pumpkin gnocchi were delicious - the lamb meatballs were simply fantastic Only disappointment were the squid skewer, a bit rubbery. The flavors were amazing, thought! & the cocktail was very good & flavorful: a nice spicy mandarin with tequila cocktail. I highly recommend this place, a nice tapas style restaurant perfect for connecting with your friends 😀 & if you ask nicely, it can be possible to order some plates for takeout. It's not the primary type of service, but they can accommodate if you ask politely.
