Absolutely my favourite Korean restaurant! 🥰 Their fried chicken is crispy perfection, the rose jjampong is rich & flavourful, the tangsuyuk is perfectly balanced between sweet & tangy, & the jjajangmyeon is pure comfort in a bowl. They always serve tasty side dishes that make the meal even better. I've been coming here for years, & every visit has been consistently delicious. Finally leaving a review because they truly deserve it, highly recommend!
Hope they bring back their truffle jjajangmyeon because I enjoyed it a lot!

Super good food! Did not have a reservation on a Saturday evening & had a table quickly. Service was great, it was packed & didn't wait long for the food. Would suggest any fried chicken, the fried pork in chili oil base & rose tteokbokki. 10/10 !!!

I used to go to Chez Bong on St-Laurent 20 years ago & really enjoyed the food. So I decided to try the restaurant on Mackay. We came here on Thursday evening. We didn't have a reservation but we didn't have to wait long.

The food was good but the service was so long even though the restaurant was half full.

We had the shrimp twigim. They were crispy & hot. We had jjajangmyeon (tasty & not too salty) rosé jjampong (creamy & not too spicy) & bulgogi. We also had fried chicken. It was nice & crispy.

This is hands down the best Korean fried chicken in Montreal. I always go for the half-half - their original flavor is super crispy, & the sweet & spicy sauce tastes just like authentic Korean chicken. The bibimbap is also amazing - I highly recommend dining in for the best texture & flavor.

It's a small hidden gem that really deserves more attention. My go-to place whenever I crave Korean fried chicken!

The atmosphere was great & staff was friendly.
We tried the seafood pancake, ji gae & fried chicken.
Seafood pancake was deceiving, it was not crispy, too much batter & not enough garnish like vegetables or seafood.
Ji gae was only ok.
Fried chicken was not as expected, i feel like other places have a crispy batter but not at this restaurant.
