Review Summary

Ici Restaurant Coréen comes across as a small, cozy mom-and-pop spot where food is made with care and guests are greeted by friendly, attentive owners. Dishes such as bulgogi, tteokbokki, bibimbap, and a variety of kimbap and yubuchobap are highlighted for fresh, flavorful, made-to-order quality, and many reviews say the flavors recall memories of Korea while still feeling accessible in Montreal. The ambiance is warm and intimate, though seating is limited to a couple of tables and no bathroom is consistently available according to some visits, making it feel perfect for takeout. Service is repeatedly praised for its warmth and helpfulness, with small touches like doors being opened when hands are full and a friendly, welcoming tone. A few criticisms surface, including a Korean fried chicken that some feel falls short and a tuna kimbap that is dry, while one review questions the overall rating seen on delivery apps. Overall, Ici Restaurant Coréen is seen as a hidden gem for comforting Korean fare with a mix of traditional flavors and modern twists, especially popular for kimbap, tteokbokki, and other small dishes.

It's a hidden gem~ I am Korean living in Montreal & the food here reminds me of my time in Korea with with some modern style & Japanese fusion~ we tried the rose tteokboki, udon, tuna kimbap, yubuchobap, takoyaki, & kimchi! The two of us finish every last bite, it was so good & fresh. I really enjoy the cozy ambiance with the cute decorations, books & Korean pop music. I would highly recommend to come try it~ my favourite was the pork yubuchobap. Yuzu ade was so amazing too✨ I just wish there was more seating! ☺️

Entering here immediately transported us to Korea, like we just entered a typical small shop. Gimbap looks similar to sushi rolls but is an entirely different flavor, many cooked meats like beef available. We added the Bong Bong combo to one order & it came with delicious chicken & nice fruit like fresh cherries & blackberries. There was Korean pop music playing & the decor is fun, including a tiny library. You can also buy dried ramen packs flavors here that are hard to find like kimchi. Only 4 to 6 people total can sit, which adds to the overall experience of a genuine simple Korean shop. The host is very kind & makes you feel at home. You pay when you order from the big computer touchscreen, so no waiting for the bill at the end.

The kimbap was the best I've ever had - fresh & delicious. The restaurant is clean, & the staff are super friendly. I really wish we had an Ici in my town. Highly recommend if you love great Korean food!

I've been looking for a korean restaurant that specializes in kimbaps for a long time. I was so pleasantly surprised when I found out about this restaurant! Since I was nearby, I decided to check this place out. I ended up ordering tteokbeokki & yubuchobap (spicy pork, spicy beef, spicy chicken, soy pork). I did not order a kimbap ironically because I had a kimbap already today. Everything was cooked fresh & the food came out deliciously! The portions are definitely worth the price in my opinion. The tteokbokki is more soupy than saucy but i liked how soupy it was. The flavour was spot on! Not too sweet & not too spicy. I would come back again next time to try the kimbaps for sure.

Small restaurant, basically just 2 tables inside. Good for take out. Fresh yubuchobap & samgak kimbap made on the spot after ordering from their machine at the counter. The resto also serves kimbap, ramen & tteokbokki. The owner is kind. Recommended to support local small business. 👍🏻

Hidden gem! Cute small place for kimbap! Im glad we have stumble in this little korean restaurant. Parking is a little bit hard but then again it depends on the day & time of the week! The kimbap is prepared only when you order so i can guarantee freshness. Ttokbokki was amazing. Not heavy at all & i suggest to add an egg & for the win: cheese! Great varieties of kimbap! I strongly suggest this place to all amateur of kimbap! Will definitely go back & try
