This is an amazing gem of a restaurant! The waiter was super nice & it was so sweet that he was practicing his French! The food was also quite good, especially the fried chicken! I would definitely go back.
Just lunched there today with my daughter. Service & food was great. Had the Bulgogi Bibimap, spicy chicken, soy & garlic chicken & deep fried shrimp. Not sure what the few bad reviews about it being oily & over battered are all about? Gov either a try, you won't be disappointed.

Hansik is a fantastic dining destination! The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, the food is absolutely delicious with rich, authentic flavors, & the staff are incredibly kind & attentive. Every visit is a wonderful experience highly recommended for anyone craving top-quality Korean cuisine!
EDIT: Back here for the 3rd time in just 3 weeks (LOL) this time I with the whole FAMILY!
UPDATE! : Went back I think for the 7th time already &
The meal while staying very TASTY is getting much better & better!
I've pretty much tried every single variety of chicken they offer & let me tell you, every bite is pure deliciousness! Seriously, it just keeps getting better. My wife had the Japchae, & she was genuinely impressed, she loved it!
At this point, I honestly have to stop myself from coming back every single week... it's becoming a deliciously dangerous habit
Tried Hansik in Villeray for my sister's birthday & it was amazing! Cozy decor with a retro vibe, friendly service, & super comforting Korean dishes. Loved the garlic soy & creamy onion fried chicken served in shovel plate! Everything from the rosée tteokbokki to the cheese tonkatsu hit the spot. Generous portions, great flavors, & real K-drama vibes. A hidden gem for Korean food in Montreal!
Hansik on Rue Lajeunesse is a cozy, family-owned Korean restaurant with a warm, inviting vibe & genuinely kind staff. Their spicy chicken is packed with flavor, the bibimbap is freshly made, & the bulgogi dishes-whether with noodles or in a lunch box, are perfectly marinated. Don't miss the tteok-bokki if you love a good spicy kick. It's a great spot for comforting, authentic Korean food in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Highly recommended!
I got a take out of their fried chicken for dinner once, apparently the dinner menu is different from the lunch menu with different prices from both menus. Since the fried chicken tasted good so I went again to try their lunch menu, which is cheaper as they're in a set.
I had the Lunchbox Combo & chosen spicy pork, apparently as an Asian I don't feel spicy at all but I don't mind. It tasted like home cooked food & the portion was just precisely enough for me. One thing to highlight is I loved the mandu (fried dumpling) in the Lunchbox Combo so much!!! It tasted so good.
The owner is very humble, friendly & super keen to enhance customers experience as they're newly opened, he would like to hear more feedback so he could better adjust to customer needs.
Before I left, he asked if I was a Kpop fan & what Kpop group I like then gave me stickers of my favorite Blackpink.

Honestly the food left a lot to be desired. The fried chicken was the most over battered chicken I've ever had. Literally a 5 mm crust all around. The pork bulgogi had a very off putting taste. The sundubu pork kimchi was tasteless & the fried seaweed rolls were again over battered & full of oil. Please stop over battering your food! It's really too bad. I wanted to like this place given that it's the only korean restaurant in the area.
Honestly, one of the best Korean food i've had in Montreal. No other restaurant beats it. Their chicken is so good I could eat it every single day. Not to mention the food was freshly made. The price & portion also is pretty good for this economy, I'll surely be coming often to the restaurant I'm in love🥰
