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.
The food is tasty & the price is fair. Only inconvenient is that the tables are close to the entrance, so whenever there's people coming in it gets very cold.
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.

The rosé tteokbokki is to die for, if I had no self control I would eat it for every meals! The prices are really affordable & the food is great, love to go eat there with friends. 10/10 I always recommend this place to go eat!
Used to be my favourite as a student (when they only had one location near guy Concordia with a long line all the time), felt great to return for the same amazing food. The rose tteokbokki was extremely good, cheesy, creamy, & the rice cake was cooked just right. The portion was smaller than I expected but the price justified it. I felt reasonably fed after finishing it by myself. Would return for more!
Cannot stop coming back for the Poutine Ttekbokki, simply irresistible! & it never fails to satisfy. Full of flavor & generously packed. Prices are a little high, but nothing out of the ordinary from it's downtown Mtl counterparts. Would definitely recommend!
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

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)
Delicious food & fast service. The place is very small, but it's fast food style so you can order & leave to go eat somewhere else. You can also eat at the location. Good price & portion size. Dakballs are one of my favorite. Fried to perfection, it's crispy & spicy. The beef bulgogi is also pretty good. Beef is well marinated. My friend ordered the soup, it looks like a burning volcano & a perfect winter meal despite the fact it's currently summer.

My friends & I have been to this ganadara location quite a few times during the semester, we were always pleased with the service provided & always left with a full stomach!! The food is to die for - the rosé tteokbokki comes with plenty of sauce, 3 mandu dumplings & 2 big sausages which is plenty for it's price - the pricing is very reasonable & the service is quick so it's a very convenient place to get food in between classes!
Okja poutine was awesome! Fast & friendly service, reasonable prices, & tasty food & drinks. Outdoor wooden chairs were a bit uncomfortable but I suppose it's done in the interests of not having people linger too long!
