Kimchi fried rice was AMAZING. The drink menu is lacking hard liquor but the food makes up for it.

The food was amazing! We ordered Korean fried chicken spicy soft tofu soup , & both were full of flavor. The chicken was crispy on the outside & juicy inside. The staff were friendly & the service was fast. I will definitely come back again!'

The atmosphere is cosy & warm with soft ambient music. I was welcomed by eric (mugyeom) who guided us in choosing our menu. We ordered Fried Chicken & seafood tofu soup with white rice. The order was delivered to perfection but our highlight was the warm hospitality by the staff. I highly recommend.

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!

Ordered the premium tteokbokki & soy garlic fried chicken & loved both! I have a pretty low spice tolerance, & this is the first tteokbokki that had the perfect spice for me, it was really mild. Fried chicken was crispy & juicy, though the sauce was quite sweet & might not be for everyone. The pickles really helped balance it all together. Service was also quick & really welcoming! I'll definitely come back :)

Their fried chicken is to die for!!
Solid 10/10 ✨✨✨✨✨
Fries 10/10 ✨✨✨✨✨(just like Costco fries)

Best Korean fried chicken in Montreal! (2025)
Perfect crispy outside, super juicy chicken meat inside. Taste is also wonderful, light weight just so well proportionally balanced. 👏🏻 A special Shoutouts to their attention to detail! Onions slices on top was super thin, & the touch of seasoning on top of the fried chicken elevates the flavor & gives a well finished touch. Chunky fried chicken & also delicately seasoned. Wow!

( I did not like the Creamy onion sauce though, it was too sweet, I personally just don't like any sauce in general.🤣) I would order without sauce next time.

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.
