Very nice Korean restaurant to bring friends or a date. The food was quite creative with its unique flavours & its presentation. The chefs really know what they're doing. My server was really good, they would check up on us to see if we were good. Nothing excessive, just the right amount of excellent service to not interrupt my date. My date really liked the vibe of the restaurant ! Would definitely go back again & I recommend anyone whether they are a foodie or not, to try out this Montreal gem !

The atmosphere is calm & warm, allowing you to connect with company. Perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic date. Food is more tapas style that pair well with alcohol. Korean flavours & spices are incorporated into the food in a very innovative way. I would recommend taking the oysters, beef tartare & burrata cheese.

Having visited Seoul & Tokyo on a few occasions over the last few years, I enjoyed this small neighborhood restaurant that takes its inspiration from Korea & Japan. A special note for the EXCEPTIONAL service. The waiter contacted us after we left to mention an error on our bill. How many times does this happen? The food is very good, the pricing is fair, the staff is friendly & kind, but I feel there are a few details that still can be improved to make this an exceptional dining experience. First, the music is too loud. It is almost impossible to hear & understand the waiters & have a conversation with someone at the table. Second, the menu is very good, but I feel some plates could be bolder. Our plate of lamb chops with mashed potatoes was well executed & perfectly cooked, but could have been prepared in any of the many French bistros in Montreal. I thought that this dish needed to have a stronger Korean-infused flavour (sauce?) to warrant a special place on the menu. Lastly, I feel that more care & professionalism should be directed at the drink menu. Our kind, attentive, serviable, but mostly overwhelmed waiter (there were a few minor hiccups in the kitchen that slowed the pace of the dinner - not a problem at our table), she had difficulty explaining to us some of the items on the drinks menu, their origin (local producer?) & their flavour profile to go with the menu. At a day & age where menus are ever more eclectic & complex, & the flavour profile of natural wines is often impossible to predict, I think that it is the important for the staff to have deeper understanding of what is offered to complement the menu. That being said, we will go back, perhaps on a more quiet evening or earlier on a busy to appreciate the food & the great service.

Omg. A real gem. Tiny but the atmosphere very nice. Great service, the waitress was very kind & also knew what wine goes with what. The food, korean fushion I would say. Loved it very much. My friend & I had their signature dumplings oyster mushroom tempura kimchi fried rice yuringi (fried chicken asian chimichurri) duck confit beef tartare (tastes like korean bulgogi) Definitely have to go back & try other dishes!

Food was delicious, but in very small quantity. You will need to order at least 4-6 plates for 2 people. Cocktails (Suwon Mule), dumplings, & Kalguksu were especially good. (We did not order kimchi fried rice just because we make them at home, but the dish smelled amazing at the restaurant.) Carpaccio was so-so. Cuisine-wise, it is more western than Korean.
