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 🎉🎉

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.

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.

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.

This seems like an authentic Korean place & it was near to where I was staying while in Montreal. If you can't take spice, do stay away from the spicy dishes! If you like spice, this is great! I tried the spicy Soondubu & it was spicy. I thought there was a little too much oil (chilli oil?) in the soup too. You'll need to crack the raw egg over your hot soup when it arrives. Despite it being too spicy, it was good comfort food. I will return again but probably try something less spicy. :) There aren't many seats in there so you might need to get it to go if it's full.
