Belle découverte culinaire, nourritures savoureuses, garnies de fins herbes fraîches. Présentation soignée, les plats sont servis dès qu'ils sont prêts. Service attentionné & ambiance festive. Nous avons passé une belle soirée.
This is probably my 9th time coming here since the beginning of the year. Food quality has always been consistent, service has been excellent even when it gets too busy with only one server managing things. I only wish that there were more dessert varieties, but everything on the menu has been interesting & delicious.
Bravo à ce petit resto sud-coréen! Le service était impeccable. Le menu varié & différent est composé de plats à partager. Ils semblaient tous aussi appétissants les uns que les autres. Mon coup de coeur va au dumpling qui avait une texture vraiment intéressante (sa cuisson était parfaite). Nous avons aussi mangé les pleurotes frites avec l'aïoli, la salade césar au kimchi, le plat de maïs & pain brioché & le poulet frit. & le coup de coeur de mon chum revient à la longe de porc frite qui vaut vraiment le détour. Elle était juteuse & la panko maison était délicieuse. De plus la portion était assez généreuse. Nous étions déçus de ne plus avoir de place pour le dessert car les plats proposés étaient alléchants. Nous y retournerons à coup sûr !
I loved the unique blend of Korean food with a European touch at this restaurant. The dishes were flavorful presented. The wine pairing recommendations were perfect, making the meal even more enjoyable. Great service & a cozy atmosphere, definitely worth a visit :)
We came here for dinner & ordered four dishes (one appetizer for $12, one dish for $17, one for $21, & the last for $28) along with a beer. We enjoyed the fried oyster mushroom, & the crudo was nice too. However, the octopus, despite being the most expensive dish, could have been better-it was missing some flavor. As soon as we sat down, our waitress strongly suggested that we order at least 6-8 dishes for three people (including one young child) since the dishes are meant to be shared. As I mentioned, we didn't order all the dishes within the $12-$14 range, but the waitress gave us a look with our order. I don't think it's good service to make customers feel uncomfortable like that. We don't need this treatment & will not come back.
Vraiment un super restaurant ! Serveur très sympa, nourriture délicieuse ! On a eu la chance d'avoir le chef nous apportez les pleurotes, très agréable :)
I had such a good dine-in experience at 9 Tail Fox. They are almost like a French cuisine with Korean taste influenced. Galbi & Octopus was really good. Oyster was so fresh too.
