While some readers mention menu updates and price changes, the overall consensus remains that the food is delicious and consistently satisfying, making it a popular choice for groups and special occasions.
Food is good. Selection of Soju limited at the time we dined in. Service below average (young people working). Waiters not helpful when asking questions about menu (few customers, looked in a rush). This restaurant is a little hyped for what it is.
I love summer, I love Montreal & I love this place 🫶🏼 very cute spot, the portions are genormous, we ordered a meat sashimi & honestly I felt like a lion 🤣we had to go take some shots as digesting aid.
i've been to this restaurant so many times with groups of 5~6 people, such a great spot to eat at! if you come early, you will immediately get assigned a seat even if you're a lot. the food is phenomenal, i've actually never tasted such delicious chicken anywhere else & the prices are so affordable for how big & filling the portions are! the atmosphere of the place is very relaxing & makes you feel comfy in its confines. my personal favorite would be the baby powder fries, they're thin but incredibly tasty, it's definitely worth a try!

I came here like 3 times now! The chicken are always so crispy no doubt😍🫶The flavours were also so so parfait.I recommend the canjun & angel onion 🪽.Would def come back :)
Check your garnishes if you order their soups/hotpot dishes. We found moldy garnish on a soup we ordered that I asked to be swapped out for a new one, yet now coming home I found myself with some mild food poisoning symptoms. Also our soup was missing ingredients as described on the menu, we ordered the pork bone soup with potatoes & there weren't any potatoes at all (the best part is arguably the potatoes) The chicken as ok, too much batter but it was perfectly cooked. Chicken was tender just like any good Korean fried chicken place. Slight disappointment, but maybe I ordered wrong & should have went with their higher volume/turnover dishes.
Best spot in dowtown to hang out actually. Cozy, good vibes, good music,good service & of course good food. Went there many times & service still top notch🤌🏾
I honestly can't say enough good things about this restaurant, they are top tier. The food is excellent every single time we go, super affordable & so tasty! It's made better by the wonderful staff who are so professional, speedy & helpful. Specifically, the taller staff member who usually greets us at the door & always dresses impeccably, the staff member with dark hair & tattoos & the girl with short dark hair, I wish I knew their names! Their service is always exceptional. Our favourite dishes are the Padak & Yangyeom boneless chicken ....so good. We came in with a very large group last night, & as a server myself I know how difficult that can be to manage. They pulled it of without a hitch! Well done.

Ordered the bulgogi fried chicken from here several times. Recently it's noticeable that the meat is not fresh, I really like the way how they prepare fried chicken, hopefully they take more attention to the food safety.
A late review for one of my favorite fried chicken stores 🤩. Their portions are great, their fried chicken are fried super well that it stays crunchy! &, the saucing is generous. It's important to note that the different sauce & topping options are on the sweeter & saltier side personally. Their baby powder is also like a powdered sugar & parmesan mix if people are curious. That said, their options are very creative, there's fried chicken with tteokbokki or ramen with seaweed. There's also unlimited of radish pickles. It's important to note for spicy lovers that most of the spicy options aren't too spicy, more on the level of sweet & sour. There's not much non-alcoholic drink options as well compared to their alcohol selection, but they're still updating their menu, so hope this changes. But, definitely a great get together place with friends. Note that like, three plates might be enough for four people! One plate just for a person, well you're getting some nice leftovers to bring back.
