About

Hwang Kum delivers an authentic Korean culinary experience characterized by the interactive preparation of tabletop barbecue. Guests utilize integrated grills to sear marinated meats and fresh vegetables, ensuring a customized level of char and tenderness for every bite. The menu features an extensive array of traditional side dishes, known as banchan, which provide a diverse spectrum of fermented, pickled, and seasoned flavors. Every dish emphasizes bold profiles, utilizing essential staples such as gochujang, sesame oil, and garlic to maintain historical flavor integrity. This establishment prioritizes the communal aspect of Korean dining by focusing on shared platters and robust, hearty portions. The atmosphere remains centered on the functional preparation of food, allowing the quality of the ingredients and the specific techniques of traditional Korean seasoning to remain the primary focus of the experience.

Review Summary

Hwang Kum is widely celebrated for serving authentic, comforting Korean cuisine that feels like home cooking. The standout item is consistently described as the best seafood pancake in the city, though the entire menu, including beef ribs, bulgogi, and various noodle dishes, receives high praise for freshness and flavor. While the restaurant offers a fantastic and welcoming experience with courteous service, it is a very small, family-run establishment where space is limited. Potential visitors should note that seating is tight, lineups are common, and it is advisable to check operating hours in advance since they can be irregular.

Closest to halmeoni's cooking in the city. It has all the classic comfort dishes you want & definitely agree that the seafood pancake is the best in the city. The atmosphere is also classic, which I like. Only downside is there's little space so tables are quite close together.

Hwang Kum est un petit resto situe dans le quartier de CDN qui sert la cuisine authentique coreenne. Il y a une grande variete de plats @ choisir par contre il y a un plat il faut absolument commander : les crepes coreennes, tellement delicieux. Leurs petits plats assortis' banchans' sont excellents. Merci pour le bel accueil & service. Le resto est tres petit, les places sont limitees, allez-y de bonheur car il n'accepte pas de reservation. Au plaisir Missy A.

Best Seafood Pancake in Montreal! Love this little family ran restaurant!

I always call before going just to make sure they are open as opening hours/day might not be exactly accurate, but still highly recommend!

Came in at 8:30pm to a closed restaurant. Signs said that they close at 10pm. No explanation, woman just told us that it was closed.

A great little spot. Very polite & courteous service. & the food is fantastic. Seafood pancake (pajeon) was excellent; best I've had. Great balance of veg & protein with a great flavour & the perfect caremalized crisp bottom. The beef ribs (galbi) were rich & flavourful. Perfect marinade. & Bibimbap was delicious. Overall great experience.

Food is amazing, the seafood crepe is a must, although everything is delicious. Its a small place, so show up few minutes before 6pm when they open, otherwise you risk not having a spot to sit during first service.

My father first took me to this cosy, fantastic spot about 10 years ago, & I've often returned with my daughter, friends, over the years. Really like the jokbal (something you don't make at home), all the pajeon options, & the various noodle dishes are always yummy. Plus tasty sides. All food is prepped fresh, with distinct flavours & textures. Street parking not too difficult. Anticipate a line up. Recommend highly.

Love this small family owned business. Best seafood pajeon in town, the place is very small & sometimes would have a line up but it's really worth it to wait in line. My kids love eating here.
The only thing is, if you decide to eat here make sure to check their google site first if they are open. Their operating days sometimes changes.
