Interesting place to try some traditional style Korean food! The weak point of this restaurant was actually some of the food. It was very disappointing & unappetizing. However, some meat dishes looked great! Dietary restrictions were not their strength. The freshness didn't stand out to me either in the side dishes or the main dish I tried, Japchae Bab. I did appreciate them making the dish with tofu as there were only 2 options for vegetarians to eat, off the menu. Although some dishes were made as soon as the order went in, there were a few that sat & cooked all day long. Some of the food that could be easily altered to suit guests, couldn't be remade due to using the same big stew they cook all-day long; Particularly, the kimchi stew which can be made fresh in 5-10 mins & is not normally a stew that sits'all-day long'. It was unclear, why did they not decide to cook all the food fresh? Not only would fresh dishes ensure the quality & taste, it would elevate their restaurant. Fresh food would make dealing with any dietary restrictions easier. Having flexibility with their guests is important for any food establishment, & it was unfortunate I didn't see that this time. The atmosphere reminded me of a seniors home - The decor seemed outdated with no particular theme connecting to the restaurant. I could see some elements of Korean culture but it was in the background rather than the foreground representing what type of restaurant it was. The highlight, was definitely the staff as they were absolutely exceptional! They easily explained the menu & helped with any concerns I had with the food. Overall, it was so-so. I think fresh food would bring more traffic to the place along with revamping the decor.

Ok food, nothing special. Fried porc tasted like Thai Express food which isn't good.

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.

I got the half jjamppong & half jjajangmyeong. The jjajangmyeong was good the jjampong tasted like Shin ramyun with a little bit of extra seasoning. Didn't have the seafoody smoky flavor of jjampong at all. Side dishes were good & more flavorful than the jjamppong. Service was great. The place looks cute too, a bit too dark inside.

They are very kind & gentle! I placed an uber eat order of two soft tofu soup & one Topoki, but they only gave me one soft tofu soup at the beginning. So I gave them a call saying I missed an order. They are able to provide me the missing soup but unfortunately they don’t have someone to deliver, so I went & pick it up. They surprised me with one more free toboki & a huge portion of fried dumplings. Very grateful for your food & service, they are very kind people!

We were in Montreal to help our son moving to start college. We stumbled upon this gem, since it’s very close to Concordia campus. We ended up coming back 2 more times! All the wait staff are super nice & attentive, food is very good, & place has homely vibe. We would love to go back when we visit Montreal again
