Hanyang Jokbal se spécialise dans la cuisine coréenne authentique, avec un accent particulier sur les jarrets de porc succulents braisés lentement, un plat signature appelé 'Jokbal'. Cette préparation traditionnelle consiste à faire mariner les jarrets dans un riche mélange de sauce soja, d'ail, de gingembre et d'épices aromatiques, offrant une texture tendre qui fond dans la bouche et un profil de saveur profondément savoureux. Le restaurant propose une variété de coupes et de préparations, souvent servies avec un assortiment de banchan frais (accompagnements) tels que le kimchi, des légumes marinés et des crêpes salées. Les clients peuvent agrémenter leurs repas de boissons coréennes traditionnelles, rehaussant ainsi l'expérience culinaire vibrante et conviviale. C'est une destination idéale pour ceux qui recherchent un véritable goût de la tradition culinaire coréenne, expertement préparé et présenté avec soin.
Hanyang Jokbal est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour sa cuisine coréenne authentique, la majorité des clients louant le jarret de porc braisé, tendre et savoureux, comme le point fort du menu. Bien que le consensus général souligne l'atmosphère accueillante, les portions généreuses et la fraîcheur des accompagnements, les avis sur la qualité du service varient considérablement. Certains convives rapportent un service amical et efficace, tandis que d'autres soulignent des difficultés liées à la communication, à la coordination et à la gestion des imprévus. Bien que quelques clients estiment que certains plats secondaires sont moins marquants que dans d'autres établissements locaux, beaucoup considèrent ce restaurant comme une adresse de choix pour des plats réconfortants de haute qualité et expriment une réelle volonté d'y retourner.
I absolutely love the pork soup here! Every time I'm in the office, I make sure to stop by for lunch. I can handle spicy food, but I actually recommend trying the non-spicy one. The spice can overpower the rich flavor & aroma of the broth. The original soup lets you truly appreciate how delicious & well-made it is. Highly recommended!
Food was absolutely delicious! Went there with a group of friend & had a memorable feast. It was my first time trying Jokbal & I am now hooked. I highly recommend!
If you're looking for a nice korean restaurant in downtown, this is your sign to visit hanyang jokbal. I recommend especially the main menu, the braised pork hock, which just melted in my mouth 😋 In fact the staff were so welcoming, & overall such a great experience. 10/10, would recommend!!
We got 2 for 2 hock to share. They were out of the preferred option. I did not mind too much. The staffs were kinda new so we understand that they were a bit slow on some aspects like getting napkins & making sure our waters were filled up.
The food was overly greasy & disgusting! I've had korean food & this was like wow, very different. It felt like all the cheap parts of the porc are being sold here for 20-40$!?!? The only good thing about this restaurent was the sides if you take the to share option & that is literally it. I would not recommend to any of my friends nor would go again.
If you love super greasy food with some Korean sides, this is your spot. If not, it's to avoid.
Finally tried Hangyang Jokbal after hearing about their new location on Stanley.
Overall, I'd describe it as good, but not particularly memorable.
My friend & I both left feeling very full, yet somehow not completely satisfied. It's one of those places where I'd happily go again if someone invited me, but probably wouldn't choose on my own.
Here's what we ordered:
* Half & Half Jokbal (Original + Spicy) - Definitely the highlight of the meal. The pork was tender, rich in collagen, & it's not easy to find good jokbal in Montreal. Personally, I found the original version a bit mild, but the spicy one had more flavor.
* Pork Bone Soup - Generous portion, but I still prefer the soup at Big Bone Soup.
* Rose Tteokbokki - Pretty good, although the portion felt quite small.
* Cold Noodles - Refreshing, but about two-thirds of the bowl was vegetables, & the sauce was a little sweeter than I expected.
* Sundae (Korean Blood Sausage) - It tasted more like a glutinous rice sausage. Decent, but nothing special.
* Seafood Pancake - Unfortunately the most disappointing dish for me. It was lacking seasoning & flavor. I personally prefer the one at Hwang.
Besides the jokbal, I think there are other Korean restaurants in Montreal that do the remaining dishes better.
Nothing we ordered was bad, but nothing really stood out either.
If you're specifically craving Korean-style jokbal, I'd recommend giving this place a try. Otherwise, there are a few Korean restaurants in Montreal that I personally enjoy more.
Le jokbal était absolument délicieux!! La viande était très tendre & bien assaisonnée. Le service était également excellent. Je recommande ce restaurant à 100 % 😋😋
