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'.

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.
Le jokbal était absolument délicieux!! La viande était très tendre & bien assaisonnée. Le service était également excellent. Je recommande ce restaurant à 100 % 😋😋
Stopped by for dinner & was really impressed. The food came out hot & tasted great, especially the jokbal. Portions were generous & everything felt fresh. Friendly staff & a comfortable atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again.
We tried several types of jokbal, noodles, & gukbams. The kimchi was very good but others of the side dishes & kongnamul soup was salty, especially Bibim-Noodle was overly seasoned, & the signature bul-jokbal had no smoky flavor & wasn't spicy at all. The sundae gukbap was good. However, the pork gukbap had a very strong pork smell. I had to remove the meat from the broth immediately, & it was only manageable to eat after doing so.
Having had great experiences at Hanyang Jokbal in Toronto & Ottawa, I was excited to visit, but I was disappointed that the signature jokbals tasted quite different from what I remembered.
Still, the restaurant was clean & comfortable, & the staff were friendly, attentive.
The food was honestly really good. We ordered the jokbal & it was super tasty, flavourful & tender!!! They have a half-&-half option for the jokbal which is perfect if you're unsure which one to pick. We tried the spicy & garlic flavours. Both were really good & I'd recommend them. The sundae was also delicious. Portions are pretty big too! We had to take out.
The side dishes were great too. The kimchi & pickled daikon were especially good.
Service-wise, the staff were very nice & polite, but I think they still need to work on coordination & communication. When we arrived, the table next to us told us they had already been waiting about an hour & a half for their food. After we placed our order, another waitress came to our table about 5 minutes later asking what we had ordered & said they would make it right away. We later realized she may have confused our table with the one beside us, since they were the ones who had been waiting for so long.
We ended up getting our food pretty quickly, but the table next to us eventually left because they had waited too long. From what we saw, they were only offered free drinks, which I personally don't think was enough after waiting that long. At that point, I feel like a free meal or a better form of compensation would have been more appropriate.
That being said, I know this is a new restaurant & the staff looked nervous & stressed, so I do understand. The food was great & the people working there were kind. With better organization, communication, & customer recovery, this place could have a good have a good potential!
