9 Tail Fox propose une exploration rigoureuse des traditions culinaires coréennes à travers une carte centrée sur le barbecue interactif et des raviolis artisanaux. La clientèle manipule des protéines de qualité supérieure saisies directement sur la table pour garantir une précision absolue dans les textures et le développement des arômes. La cuisine met l accent sur des profils de saveurs affirmés, exploitant les composants fermentés et des sauces signature pour intensifier la préparation des viandes grillées. Outre le barbecue, les raviolis maison présentent des enveloppes fines et résistantes renfermant des garnitures savoureuses qui soulignent les équilibres épicés classiques. L environnement intérieur favorise une approche conviviale où la chaleur des équipements de cuisson demeure l élément central du repas. Cet établissement privilégie l exécution authentique de recettes traditionnelles tout en conservant une atmosphère fonctionnelle axée sur la technicité nécessaire aux grillades coréennes.
Tail Fox propose une fusion coréenne moderne avec des influences françaises et italiennes, présentée sous forme de plats à partager dans un cadre intime et accessible près du métro Lionel-Groulx. Des plats comme burrata au kimchi, dumplings croustillants, tempura de pleurottes et kimchi Caesar illustrent des saveurs audacieuses et innovantes, tandis que d'autres propositions comme le crudo, des plats inspirés de la paella, la pieuvre et une variété d'options végétariennes assurent la diversité du menu. Le service est constamment attentif et le personnel chaleureux, contribuant à une expérience globale mémorable avec une ambiance à la fois dynamique et détendue. Beaucoup de clients saluent les portions généreuses, les cocktails réussis et la possibilité de voir les chefs travailler au bar, même si certains estiment que certains plats manquent un peu de piquant ou que les portions peuvent être petites selon les visites et que les prix sont plus élevés que dans les spots plus décontractés, bien que cela en vaille la peine pour la qualité. C'est une pépite de quartier et une excellente option pour un rendez-vous ou un repas entre amis, avec une atmosphère vivante et un menu qui tourne et donne envie de revenir.
Went on a Friday night. We had some exceptional good value dishes like the eggplant, the crudo & the fried chicken, all made with incredibly fresh ingredients! Best kimchi I ever had & the rice is the purple kind! Felt indulgent even though the food is really healthy when you think of it lol. I really enjoyed the watermelon cocktail tart, sweet & original. Great modern decor with plants everywhere & lots of light. The ambiance was on the loud side, but it was a Friday night. I am very happy that this new restaurant is so popular, they deserve it. That said, while our server was great service was slow, but I attribute that to the restaurant needing to up their wait staff game on those busy nights. Great discovery, will likely be back !
I have to say this first, we were not the right crowd. The food in term of quality & execution was very good but it was'bland'/lacked insane amount of spices that comes with Asian food. I applaud the creativity for the fusion made in those dishes, but it just didn't suit my palate. Except the lamb, that was our favorite!
The prices aren't as high as I'd have expected for a more tapas style restaurant & the portions were generous.
Overall, I think 9 Tail Fox's food is good but for non Asian people or people wanted to try Asian food for the first time.

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.
Absolutely delicious! We ordered 5 dishes & a dessert for 2 people & it was more than enough for us. All the food was so fresh, seasoned well, & cooked perfectly. Entire staff was friendly & attentive. It's hard to pick a standout dish because everything was so good, but the Seoul Caesar is a must order. One of the best meals I've had In Montréal.
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!
A fantastic Korean fusion restaurant with a unique rotating menu of creative dishes. If you're lucky & it's available make sure to try their steak Galbi, oysters, & dumplings.

A very creative & satisfying menu. We were a group of 4 & had 4 appetizers & 4 mains. We agreed that all 8 dishes were solid offerings. We will be back to try other dishes that we did not order on this visit.
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 💗
9 Tail Fox never disappoints! Everything from the atmosphere to the food is always on point. The vibe is cozy yet lively, making it the perfect spot whether you're catching up with a friend or enjoying a night out. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of flavor, & you can tell there's real care put into the menu. Service is friendly & attentive without ever feeling rushed. Honestly, one of Montreal's hidden gems - if you haven't been yet, you're missing out!
The team at 9 Tail Fox are passionate about their profession & it shows! The service was flawless & friendly & the food? It's creative Asian fusion & done extremely well. Our table of 4 ordered a number of dishes to share: oysters, burrata with kimchi, salmon tartare with ikura, eggplant, lamb, octopus, & crudo. & everything was delicious! We will definitely go back again to try the other half of the menu. Many thanks to Julian & Chanel for the fun dinner service & the perfect summer evening! It will definitely be a birthday to remember!

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 !!
We loved our meal at 9 Tail Fox! The food was flavorful & beautifully presented, with clear attention to detail. We tried the seasonal asparagus, oyster mushroom tempura, duck confit, steak & fries, & matcha yuzu cheesecake-all were fantastic.
The tapas-style, Korean-Western fusion dishes felt fresh & well-balanced. A great spot for a unique & satisfying dining experience in Montreal!
I was craving raw fish with soju, but they were out 😭(I guess I will have to come 🔙), so I tried the pork belly, chicken heart, salmon tartare, matcha ice cream, ginger ice cream, & cheesecake instead. The chicken heart was my favorite-I've loved it since childhood! Some dishes were so close to perfection but just needed a bit more balance to truly shine. Say, I would've really enjoyed a fresh or pickled element to cut through the richness of the heavier pork & mussels.
The vibe is amazinggg, felt like I escaped for a moment. It's a peaceful, relaxing spot to eat & drink. The presentation was stunning 😍, & I love the smaller portions, making it easy to try multiple dishes.😋 Excited to see the summer menu~ The ginger ice cream tasted just like Swedish pepparkakor really so so good!

My friend & I were really impressed with the food. Such great flavors & combinations. We will definitely come back. It is not authentic Korean food though it's just has some Korean inspired ingredients or flavors tossed into some of their dishes. More like western Asian fusion.
We were charged a dish extra & a glass of wine we hadnt ordered. They gave us a bit of soju to make up for it but they were clearly understaffed with 2 waiters & the 2 chefs for the whole packed restaurant on a Saturday night. Waiters were good & did their best tho. The chefs are really good & some of the dishes are exquisite (gnocchis, fried oyster), others are more just deep fried with no presentation like the pleurotes. Overall bill was 140$ for a bottle of wine & 4 dishes which is more pricey than other similar restaurants. Not bad but bit great either. Appreciated it but will not return.
Since our discovery of 9tailfox a few weeks after its opening, we have been raving about this place to anyone who's listening. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Montreal, hands down! Amazing cooking, charming staff, creative dishes & a cozy atmosphere! You will love it!
Every dish was exquisitely prepared with delicately nuanced Korean flavours mixed in with a French cooking style. We enjoyed & shared 8 different dishes & 2 desserts. Absolutely every dish was unique, delicious & had a beautiful presentation. Thank you Lee for an amazing meal & Chanel for your lovely service.
