Très belle découverte! Je recommande VRAIMENT :) Tous les repas que nous avons choisi sur le menu étaient succulents & le service était impeccable. Assurément un de mes nouveaux restaurants préférés en ville!
Fabuleux comme toujours. Nous venons de loin pour venir ici. Les plats sont préparés avec soin, c'est une explosion de saveurs en bouche. Vraiment je vous recommande ce resto!
Quality of food was fantastic. We had a great night, accompanied by the most helpful & friendly staff (including a wonderful chef, Won Goo!) I would recommend this place, without a shadow of a doubt.
Une expérience culinaire exquise! Le restaurant a su capturer l'essence authentique de la cuisine coréenne avec des ingrédients québécois, en résulte des plats délicieusement équilibrés en saveurs & en textures. Chaque bouchée était un voyage de plaisir pour les papilles. Le service était impeccable & l'ambiance chaleureuse a ajouté à l'ensemble une touche encore plus agréable. Je recommande vivement le 9 Tail Fox à tous les amateurs de cuisine coréenne & à ceux qui cherchent à découvrir de nouvelles saveurs exotiques.

Nous avons passé une magnifique soirée. Nous étions 4 filles & nous avons goûté plusieurs des plats offerts sur la carte. Inspiration coréenne nous avons eu plusieurs coups de coeur. Je recommande fortement & j'espère y retourner très bientôt.
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!
We had a great meal & the service was attentive. Those + the lively ambience made for a fun evening! ONE CAVEAT: ask for the sommelier if you want a knowledgeable wine recommendation-we first went with a white wine recommended by the server that turned out to be orange-coloured (despite not being an orange wine) & undrinkable past a sip or two.
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 !

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.
Amazing little discovery! Very very tasty but a bit too salty! We almost ordered everything :) Personally recommend the dumplings & oysters! Very very very good! Other dishes are good as well. Dinning room very cozy Service was amazing

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.
