Review Summary

Itaewon MTL is praised for authentic Korean cuisine with generous portions and reasonable prices, delivering favorites like tteokbokki, bulgogi, bibimbap, japchae, and seafood pancakes, plus a standout fried chicken. The ambience is described as warm, welcoming, and cozy, with a stylish yet comfortable decor that suits families, couples, and groups, though the restaurant can get crowded at peak times. Service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff accommodating dietary needs and making guests feel at home. Most reviews note fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors, with some dishes offering a milder spice level than expected or occasional saltiness, and a few mentions of wait times or being chilly inside. Takeout and dine-in experiences are both represented, and many diners express strong plans to return to try more items. Overall the consensus is that Itaewon MTL offers solid value, dependable Korean comfort food, and a welcoming atmosphere that draws repeat visits.

Next time, I will come with my family. Japchae & bibimbap were really delicious.

Tofu soup was delicious & hot, bibimbap is not dolsot in case you were expecting

Vraiment déçus ! Les plats manquaient d'assaisonnement. Le bibimbap ressemblait à une salade sans saveurs.
Le service était par contre sympa.

Needed lunch when I arrived & Korean sounded delicious. While I personally prefer dolsot bibimbap this was perfectly delivered. Almost went back for dinner a few nights later. Staff was friendly & menu was bilingual (helpful not having to ask for one in English, if needed).

J'ai commandé les rose teokbokki & j'ai adoré! Seul bémol ce n'était pas du tout épicé contrairement à ce qui était indiqué sur le menu. Le boeuf bulgogi était savoureux mais la viande aurait pu être plus tendre. Mes mais ont aimé leur bibimbap tofu même s'il a était servi tiède. Somme toute, j'y retournerais.

Got so tired from my flight & I needed a nearby meal before it gets dark. Checked the nearby Asian restaurants but didn't like the menu, walking further I saw this restaurant. I checked & it has high ratings but I didn't expect it to be soo good. I ordered bibimbap, no I'm not an expert but I loved the veggies & the sauce & the meat!!! I wonder if it's served like that in Korea too 🤗

Highly recommend the yangnyum chicken! Also, got the bibimbap (classic) & lychee soju (loved it) for 2 people, more than enough food. The only cons were the wait to be seated was probably 30 - 45 mins (recommend making a reso) & was seated in a high traffic area. But the staff & food were so great that it was worth it. When I come back to Montreal, definitely coming back here.

Visiting from west coast, US with great Korean restaurants. Itaewon surprisingly great restaurant & all the food was very tasty. Especially the fried chicken, bibimbap. Could have used some bonchon, but not super necessary.

We came to Itaewon Korean restaurant in Montreal based on Google reviews, & it did not disappoint. The space isn't overly big, but the layout feels cozy & welcoming. When we arrived, it was about half full-just the right level of busy. My girlfriend & I ordered the bibimbap & spicy soft tofu soup, & we also shared the tteokkgangjeong (which I will not attempt to pronounce). Everything was absolutely delicious.

The bibimbap was perfectly balanced with crisp vegetables & a rich flavour. The soft tofu soup was warm, spicy, & comforting. The tteokkgangjeong-fried rice cakes coated in a spicy & sweet sauce-were a real highlight, chewy & packed with flavour. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience feel relaxed & pleasant. Service was efficient without ever feeling rushed. We left full & already looking forward to our next visit. Itaewon really nails it for authentic, satisfying Korean cuisine in Montreal.
