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.

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.

I was in Japan a few months ago & was enthralled with the variety of tiny mom & pop foodie delight restaurants. Ok, this one is Korean but sitting in this two table micro delight took me back to Kyoto via Seoul. The food was an adventure & absolutely delicious. The atmosphere may reflect Korea, I'm sure, but for me I was back in Japan. Don't miss this fab foodie voyage. I will be back to explore the culinary magic.

Si vous aimez la vraie cuisine coréenne, c'est un joyau? Nous avons commandé leur kimbap, ils sont tellement délicieux à un prix abordable, fraîchement faits à la main avec des ingrédients frais. Leur tteokbokki rosé est également savoureux. Le restaurant n'est pas grand, seulement deux tables, mais l'ambiance est bonne, les patrons sont coréens, ils sont gentils & souriants! J'ai oublié mon casque, le patron me l'a apporté dehors. Je le recommanderai à mes amis & je reviendrai certainement ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 마시다 😋😋😋

맛있게 잘 먹었습니다 😊 Il fallait que je prenne qqch de rapide & simple à manger & c'était parfait. J'ai pris le Kimbap aux anchois & celui au calmar épicé, c'était vraiment bon! Préparé fraîchement sur place en 5 min. Le caissier super sympa aussi👍🏻

Cute tiny place with 4 seats & an ordering screen slightly smaller than the tables. Ordered the regular kimbap, all of which are made to order. This one had ham & burdock in addition to the usual suspects, very nice. Leaning on the pricier side (some kimbaps were near $15/roll), but the flavors were worth trying the other items on the menu. The guy next to me ordered a ramen that looked quite big.

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

A quaint, small Korean restaurant with thoughtful & nice staff. I didn't get much; still, their tteokbokki is super tender & chewy! They also have a small bookshelf for those curious & dropping by for a break.

Petit bijou découvert par hasard. Cuisine excellente & gouteuse. 60$ pour 4 personnes. Délicieux Kimbap au boeuf & au thon avec beaucoup de légumes crus. Les tteokbokki (gâteaux de riz) étaient délicieux. On reviendra!!
