Ganadara appears as a reliable, budget friendly option with comforting ramyeon and bibimbap and a range of dishes that have expanded with new menu items and drinks; the pork ramen broth is praised for depth and the chicken bibimbap offers savory flavors with a hint of sweetness; portions are often generous and prices are affordable, with a vibe described as warm and staff that are friendly on many visits, especially near McGill, while other reviews note mixed service, occasional dishes that are dry or less satisfying, and comparisons to frozen or instant noodles in rare cases; overall the reviews show a casual, straightforward Korean spot that delivers familiar flavors quickly, remains a good value, and invites return visits in Montreal.
Overall very nice. Only downside is that the food takes very long to serve, each time I've been, it took 30min+ for the food to be served despite having barely anyone in the restaurant.

Service impeccable, je donnerais facilement un 10/10.
Les plats étaient vraiment délicieux, bien présentés & pleins de saveurs. Cela dit, je précise que c'était ma toute première expérience en gastronomie coréenne, donc je ne suis peut-être pas la meilleure référence pour comparer.
Un point très appréciable : il y a des options halal disponibles, ce qui rend l'endroit accessible à un plus grand nombre de personnes.
Wow... Compared to other korean places, this is truly premium!! The chicken bibimbap is full of flavors, savory with some sweetness in it. Could be a bit of a bigger portion 👀 The porc ramen is AMAIZING. The broth has so much depth to it, might be the best one I've ever had. The waitress today was very nice too!
This is my no.1 favorite place in downtown Montreal. It is super cheap the food is super good & the vibe is really nice. The staffs are really really friendly. The place is pretty lowkey but still loved it so much. Definitely comeback here every time I visited Montreal.

I've been coming here since my McGill days - it's always been my go-to for affordable & tasty Korean food. Recently they added a bunch of new menu items & drinks, & they're all really good! The pork bone soup is a must-try. Highly recommend this spot, especially on a cold day!
It's very close to McGill. I often come here for dinner. The food tastes good & the service is also very warm!But I want to ask when there will be gamjang tang, a special meal I ate once, but I haven't seen it since then. It's really delicious.

After spending the afternoon at a museum we happened to come across this delightful little gem of a restaurant tucked away just a few steps from the McGill metro. It is a very quaint restaurant. Our waitress Kiko was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable in the menu items we asked about & made excellent meals suggestions. The ambiance is perfectly suitable to kicking back & enjoy a great meal. We highly recommend this restaurant for your next dining experience. We look forward to going back again.
Amazing fried chicken & great service! The chicken was delicious, crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. A big shoutout to the tattooed server who was super sweet & patient in helping us choose. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend!
Food appeared to be & tasted like it was purchased frozen. Ramen is also made using instant noodles. Price was very not worth it for less-than-mediocre food.
Ganadara offers a straightforward take on Korean food, with a menu on classics like ramyeon & bibimbap. The ramyeon is a solid choice, delivering a familiar & comforting flavor profile without any unexpected twists. Similarly, the bibimbap is competently prepared, featuring the standard mix of vegetables & a fried egg over rice.
Overall, the food is exactly as one would expect-no big surprises, good or bad. It's a reliable option if you're in the mood for a quick & predictable Korean meal.
The food was excellent, but the service is was ruined it for us. Our server didn't even smile or talk to us much. She had a horrible attitude the whole time, only ever spoke a few words. Never replied to our thank you's & just killed the vibe.Other than the service, the prices were very reasonable & food was delish.
The food is excellent. Also, an excellent price. Quality & uniqness is notable. The ambiance is nice but could be improved to give it a warmer atmosphere
