I ate with my friend & admired the food. It was totally different from the Korean food I had elsewhere. Each ingredient had excellent taste & texture, & the staff was also very friendly, making it a pleasant meal.
Each side dish is also very good.
Petit resto sympathique ! Le service est rapide, agréable & la nourriture est excellente. Je le recommande vivement & j'y retournerai assurément ! Bien que les tables soient collé, nous n'avons pas l'impression de manger avec les autres

Do not order from Uber eats!!! This was such a small portion for 38$!!!! I usually order from Dawa which I find price to quality & quantity quite reasonable but not for this restaurant unfortunately. Not their fault but the Uber driver also took 2 hours to get to me so everything was cold & mushy
Souper de semaine avant un spectacle à l'Olympia : l'endroit était très facile d'accès & proposait plusieurs plats typiques coréens. Mon poulet était très bon, mais aussi très salé. D'autres options au menu m'auraient peut-être évité cette impression. Mon accompagnatrice a pris des nouilles sautées & c'était très bon également.
Ce que j'ai le plus aimé, c'est l'accompagnement : une petite boisson style bubble tea au raisin vert, vraiment délicieuse. L'ambiance de la salle était aussi très kawaii, avec des figurines d'animé un peu partout. & on a été servis en un temps record!
very solid restaurant for korean foods. the menu has a great selection & the prices are decent. i enjoyed my beef japchae, & the teokbokki tasted great as well.
nothing much worth noting, it is a a proper place for average korean cuisine, there are many like it & it doesn't necessarily stand out.
the foods was delicious, service was good too & i wont even talk about how handsome the waiter was but the problem is foods was a bit cold :)) but still the restaurant interior design was nicer than i expected, the atmosphere was great, & youre likely to find most Korean food youre looking fo
The grilled jeyuk bbq was amazing! So was the tteokbokki. I would definitely come back again & try other things on the menu. Staff & service were great as well!
Première fois que nous y allions, & ce, pour la Saint-Valentin. Ça ne sera pas la dernière, je vous assure!! Nous avons découvert un restaurant extraordinaire : la nourriture, le service, l'ambiance, la déco, tout était super :D Je recommanderai ce restaurant, je le fais déjà, à quiconque veut découvrir la nourriture coréenne. Vous ne serez pas déçu :)

Although I've never had Korean before I can confidently say this place is the best at it cool vibes wonderful service & the food was not only delicious but very reasonably priced which is something I rarely say the food was so fresh with such subtle flavours absolutely perfect I'll be back😏
We went for a family dinner & this is easily our favorite Korean restaurant in Montreal after trying many others (check my other reviews). Itaewon has a warm, friendly, & welcoming atmosphere, & the place had a nice crowd. On top of that, we were lucky enough to find parking right in front on a cold January night.
The service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The non-alcoholic drinks added a fun summer vibe to the meal. Food-wise, everything was excellent. The tteokbokki with the sweet rose sauce is a must, the fried chicken was excellent, & the seafood pancake was one of my favorites. The tofu soup was a hit at the table, & while the japchae was sweeter than usual, it was a pleasant change. Portions are generous.
We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend!

C'est dommage, ça aurait pu être bon. Mais le poulet frit avait le goût de l'huile rance. Il faudrait vérifier votre huile elle est bonne à changer. Je suis déçu, c'était ma première fois & j'avais vraiment envie de goûter un poulet frit coréen.
Overall lovely experience. The staff is very nice & accomodated me when I mentionned I could not eat meat in one of the dishes I wanted. The portions are very generous & overall the food was delicious. I would totally recommend this place for anyone that wants to try Korean cuisine.
