GaNaDaRa earns praise for tasty, well balanced dishes, generous portions, and affordable prices, all delivered with fast, friendly service in a compact casual space with a lively K pop vibe. Reviewers describe a welcoming atmosphere, consistent quality across a range of Korean and fusion options such as cupbap bowls, fried chicken, tonkatsu, and tteokbokki, plus crowd pleasers like poutine tteokbokki and curry katsu. The experience is often described as efficient, with order at the counter and food brought to the table, and staff who are attentive and accommodating, sometimes going the extra mile to rectify issues or provide leftovers promptly. Some notes point to the seating near the entrance being a bit chilly when doors open, and a couple of visits mention the focus on Uber Eats orders at the counter, but these do not overshadow the overall impression of good value, reliable taste and a place to return for quick meals with friends.
Delicious food at affordable prices at this casual Korean eatery. I had the Dak Balls Cupbap, which was Korean fried chicken pieces on rice with vegetables, an onsen egg & 2 fried dumplings. It was delicious. My husband had the kimchi & beef bulgogi poutine. It was a fun take on fusion cuisine. He enjoyed it. Decor is simple. Service was pleasant but was minimal. You order at the counter & pay. Then staff bring your food when it's ready.

Really affordable, quick service, & nice Korean restaurant on Rue Mackay 😇😇 We started with shrimp tempura which was delicious & then moved onto Chicken Katsu & spicy chicken cupbap ❤?❤? Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a quick bite to eat as the food is super delicious & the service very fast 🎉🎉
Absolutely fantastic food at a very reasonable price. The chicken is amazing in all its forms & the poutines (especially the rice cake one) are an incredible mix of Korean & Quebec cuisine
Went back to Ganadara with my best friend today for the tteokbokki, it was amazing! We got the regular tteokbokki, takoyaki, the tteokochi & the spicy chicken cupbap. Our food arrived so quickly & we were sooo amazed (once again) by the taste of the food. Definitely recommend the tteokbokki & the tteokochi. Absolutely delicious, the servers were very kind, amazing experience overall.
Amazing food. I love Korean food & this place was so good, reasonable prices, food so full of flavour, the workers are so nice. I'm definitely going back to this place. (I had the kimchi bulgogi poutine & my partner had the chicken katsu curry)

Absolutely delicious food! Ordered the chicken katsu, kimchi poutine & dak balls & everything was great. The restaurant is exceptionally tiny though with about 5 tables, & just after we arrived they got bumrushed with a full house so they never even gave us water. I don't blame them at all for being overwhelmed all of a sudden but probably better to come back later if the place is packed.
I came to Ganadara on Mackay for a weekend lunch with girlfriends. I ordered the Tteokbokki with Mandu & it was so delicious; sweet & spicy, & I really liked that they pan fried the fish cake instead of cooking it directly into the sauce because it gave a nice texture to the dish. My girlfriends had the Chicken Katsu Curry & the Soondubu Jigae with Bulgogi, which they really enjoyed. I've tried two other Ganadara locations before & I thought the food there was just so-so, but I'm glad I gave the Mackay location a try because the food here was great.
On my friend's recommendation, I went to a Korean restaurant to eat bibimbap. The quality of the food was good, but it was not like the picture on the menu. I ordered chicken bibimbap & I had heard from my friend that it has a layer of rice, a layer of vegetables containing mushrooms, carrots, & other vegetables, & an egg. Fried. But my dish had soft-boiled eggs & no layer of vegetables, but there was a little salad on the side of my plate. Actually, my food is rice & chicken It was with special sauce & salad, & of course it was delicious & very spicy.
