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.
I wasn't sure what to expect as this corner location has been sort of cursed with turnover over the years, but I can happily say that I hope nine tail fox sticks around.
The ambiance is really great. So great that when I sat down, I was worried that the portions wouldn't match- you know what I mean? That all the dishes would be tiny & nibbley. Not true! The value was definitely there.
Fresh ingredients. Creative dishes & presentation. The chef came over & said hi. The wait staff was very attentive & friendly. Great spot for a date or with the small group of friends & I recommend sharing all of your dishes.
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
Everything was excellent.
The service was great & the food was amazing.
We've got to try one of their new recipes (crab cake) & it was delicious.
The cocktails were good too.
The vibe was also great.
I recommend it.
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.
It tastes so good 👍
Our favorites are the eggplant & the chicken dish.
Beverage:
My husband had PA beer 🍺
I had mocktail.. so refreshing.
The manager gave us complimentary for the Soju & mocktail while we were sitting at the bar. What a nice surprise.
Dessert :
A must try!!!
All of them looks so good
We had a matcha dish ... So good 😊 👍
STAFF:
Very friendly, very accommodating.
We were there at the busy Friday night , the chefs at the kitchen counter made great food for us ...
We enjoyed food & the cooking show as well.
Highly recommended to sit at the kitchen bar !
It's fun !!
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.
Honestly, 9 tail fox is ridiculously underrated. The best food, service & atmosphere you can possibly ask for. Justin provided my girlfriend & I with the best service. We will definitely be coming back & will recommend this spot to anyone that asks!
