Hwang Kum est décrit comme un endroit cosy et fantastique, apprécié pour son atmosphère intime et son caractère familial, souvent fréquenté en famille et entre amis. Les plats phares tels que le jokbal, les pajeon variés et les nouilles sont régulièrement salués pour leur fraîcheur et leurs saveurs distinctes, avec des accompagnements savoureux. Le pajeon de fruits de mer est fréquemment considéré comme le meilleur de la ville, souvent accompagné d une sauce qui le sublime, tandis que des plats comme le bulgogi et le samgyetang ou le tteokbokki reçoivent aussi d excellentes critiques. La soupe aux os de porc, lorsqu elle est commandée en grande portion, est décrite comme généreuse et copieuse. Une impression plus mitigée concerne des pommes de terre d une texture inhabituelle dans un plat, et quelques avis soulignent ce restaurant comme un peu cher, mais le niveau de qualité justifie le coût pour beaucoup. Les clients signalent aussi une petite salle, parfois occupée et suivie d une file d attente, ainsi que des heures d ouverture qui changent parfois; le service est généralement perçu comme amical et rapide. Dans l ensemble, Hwang Kum est cité comme l une des meilleures cuisines coréennes de Montréal et les retours recommandent fortement d essayer.
The food was absolutely delicious! Best Korean seafood pancake I've ever had. It was so fluffy, flavourful & crispy. The sauce it came with made it so much better. We also ordered the large pork bone soup, it was a very generous portion. My only critique would be the potatoes had an interesting texture to them that had me wondering if they were previously frozen.
Authentique restaurant coréen, j'adore leurs banchan, seafood pancake & leur Galbi LA. Un peu cher & souvent très occupé, mais en général, toujours mon coup de coeur. Service amical & rapide.

There's something cool about a place so exclusive it only opens periodically & doesn't take reservations. Show up just before it opens & hopefully you get a seat. Delicious Korean food, including an amazing seafood pancake. I love the little art pieces in the restaurant too.
The pancake is delicious, but the special spicy chicken is too salty for us, though the portion size is generous. The cabbage in the cold noodles tastes bitter. Additionally, there is basically no service. We asked for more water several times, but it never came, so we ended up leaving & buying water elsewhere.

I just had the most amazing Korean meal of my life. Normally I am very into salty / spicey foods so the sweeter Korean notes on Korean cuisine was always just ok to me - but I had always guessed that the cuisine of a massive place like Korea can be more than that. This place just proved it! It was recommended by an airbnb host who is Korean who said it's her fav place in Montreal & very authentic. From the outside we originally couldn't tell it was open since they have two doors & you can't see the light from outside. & sooo glad we came - I am stuffed now, the flavours were complex & intense, everything perfectly salted. I loved everything from the bean sprouts in the small plates (addictive, HYPER flavorful), to the seafood pancake & Chicken w Gingseng soup /porridge, to the peach flavoured makgeolli served in the wide metal bowl (750ml bottle - enough for two people). Even the complimentary barley tea feels tastefully made (very soft & subtle flavour, no bitterness & not much sweetness - just very refreshing). My mom is a massive Korean food fan so naturally she loved it as well. + Relaxed vibe & friendly, efficient service. & even the music was right 🥲😭 (today they were playing Melody Gardot & Norah Jones)
[Update 2024-04-27] still very good for their seafood pancakes. BEWARE, this place is super popular & you might have to wait during busy days & hours. The BEST place for seafood pancake (haemul pajeon) in the city : super crispy, filling, big seafood pieces. Authentic korean food & the staff is super friendly. Side dishes are offered with your meal (kimchi, radish kimchi, bean sprout, potatoes, cucumbers). They are only open at night for supper & please call in advance or check their Facebook page, because they sometimes close without warning.
Cozy authentic Korean restaurant! The BEST Korean kimchi pancakes I've ever had! A perfect balance of crispiness & flavor that's unmatched. With an authentic menu & friendly service, it's a top choice for a satisfying Korean dining experience.
Very delicious! Seafood pancake is undoubtedly the best in mtl, very generous with the seafood. Kalbi was also great. Service was nice despite being super busy. Their tea is really good.
BEST KOREAN SEAFOOD PANCAKE IN MTL!! This thing is insanely thick, a big as a personal pizza, comes in on a sizzling hot plate, crispy on the outside & so soft on the inside. They are also very very generous with the seafood. The stews to share are also fun, as it comes on its own little stove & you watch it bubble on the table as it heats up. This has been my go-to Korean spot for years, but I would definitely recommend calling in half an hour in advance to make sure they are open before making the trip out. They are notorious for being randomly closed without warning, & you may be left with the disappointment of finding a closed shop when the pancake craving has already set in :(

Tried the chicken ginseng soup,pork bone soup,seafood pancake,bibimbap & pork knuckle,food is amazing, homemade feel, portions are very generous.cannot say a bad thing about this place.worth to try if you like Asian food.
It’s a humble spot with exceptional food. I’m a vegetarian but was with non-veg & we ate to our hearts desires. They were accommodating & made the seafood pancake without seafood & it was so delicious.
They start you with tea as you sit with continuous refills. It’s a small space maybe 12 tables or so & one wait staff arrive early order first otherwise it gets busy but you sympathize because everyone came practically at opening. We were three table & witchin 10 minutes they were packed all proper signs of being in the right place!
One of the best Korean pancakes in town. Really recommend. The price is a bit higher than average Korean restaurant. The large soup/ stew is good for two people with just the right amount of food. The side dishes are tasty, especially the cucumber 🥒.
I love this place, it is tiny & fills up fast, so be there when it opens (but check their hours cause they're not open every day). I have very little experience with Korean food so I can't tell you if it's authentic but it is definitely delicious! I think it is best if you go with several people & share because everything is great & it's fun to try the different dishes. Get the seafood pancake, it's AMAZING but you need at least 3 people to help you eat it because it is so large & fried. The wait staff is very friendly (but busy) however we never had to wait long for anything. They serve this really great corn & barley tea & the waitress was super nice when we asked what it was & what kind of hot sauce they used (so we could buy both of them at the korean grocery store down the street). If you're up for a culinary adventure, I definitely recommend Hwang-Kum!
