Chez Bong is widely praised as a standout for authentic Korean cuisine, with crispy fried chicken and rich, flavorful noodles alongside comforting jajangmyeon and jjamppong. The menu also features favorites such as bulgogi bibimbap, tangsuyuk, and tteokbokki, with noodles made in house and generous portions that invite sharing. Service is described as friendly and attentive, though occasional delays can occur when the restaurant is busy, and some reviews note changes over time or signs of aging in the interior. Overall, many reviewers call it the best Korean food in Montreal and a hidden gem worth returning to, offering good value for the quality and a welcoming, homey atmosphere.
Très bon & très spacieux. Il y a des menus variés & les patates brunes que j'ai reçues en accompagnement étaient délicieuses XD. Je reviendrai pour essayer d'autres plats. Je pense que ce serait bien de venir ici avec mes amis.🤭
I always come here when I am craving authentic Korean food in Montreal! Especially the bibimbap, jjajangmyeon, jjampong, & their new soy garlic chicken! As a student in Concordia, I enjoy how convenient the walk to the restaurant is & would definitely recommend to everyone :)
I've gone a few times by now, & their jjajangmyeon & jjamppong always hit the spot! The tangsuyuk is on the sweeter side. The side dishes are also unlimited.
English review follows. L'avis en français est plus bas. I had a wonderful dinner with my family at Chez Bong! The atmosphere was cozy, & the staff was very helpful & friendly. We ordered a few plates to share, & everything was tasty. I especially liked the seafood soup (jjamppong) & the sweet & sour pork (tangsuyuk). My partner's favorite was the noodles with pork in a black bean sauce (jajangmyeon). We will definitely come back on a future visit to the city, & we highly recommend it! *********** J'ai eu un excellent souper avec ma famille au restaurant Chez Bong! L'ambiance était chaleureuse & le personnel était très serviable & amical. Nous avons commandé quelques plats pour partager & ils étaient tous délicieux. J'ai particulièrement aimé la soupe de fruits de mer (jjamppong) & le porc aigre-doux (tangsuyuk). Le plat préféré de mon conjoint était les nouilles au porc dans une sauce de haricots noirs (jajangmyeon). Nous reviendrons très certainement lors d'une prochaine visite en ville & nous le recommandons vivement!
This one of the most authentic Korean restaurants you can find in Montreal! Ive tried all their specialties & everything is so tasty! This is a family own business who cooks food with love & gives a warm service. I recommended it to everyone! 😊
Ambiance chaleureuse & familiale Service très courtois, très professionnel, on nous propose des repas savoureux selon nos goûts & avec une immense gentillesse. La nourriture est délectable & remplie de saveurs. Je le conseille à tous!
Everything was great!! the food was, hands down, some of the best I've had in Montreal. the service was also on par with the meal. I also really liked the atmosphere of the place which felt very welcoming & cozy. Can't recommend enough & will definitely be back!
What a delightful meal we had delivered! The black bean noodles were very savory & served in a hearty portion, the tteokbokki was just the right level of sweet for our tastes, & the bulgogi was well seasoned & succulent. Very happy to have discovered this gem, we're keen to try the food on-site next time :) I want to quickly thank whichever employee drew a lovely Howl's Moving Castle reference on our delivery bag, it really made our night! Appreciate that you took the time out of your evening to doodle this for a strange
I tried their half-&-half noodle (no.3) to sample both types, but it unfortunately didn't meet expectations. It seemed they aimed for a healthier version compared to Korean Chinese restaurants in Korea. The black bean noodle was less sugary, & the spicy seafood noodle had fewer chili oils. Whether it was an average day or not, the noodle portion was surprisingly small for its cost; the black bean noodle barely had onions, & only one tiny pork piece was included. It's unfortunate that Montreal lacks a standout Korean Chinese restaurant.

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.
