Shared Korean BBQ pork, the pineapple slice really brought it together. The sides, white rice, & miso soup were all really good! We sat outside & could watch many of Montreal's Village characters walk by.

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.

Délicieux- Cuisine coréenne authentique & de haute qualité. La soupe au tofu était remplie de saveur. Les portions sont très généreuse; j'ai commands deux petit poulet mais en avait assez pour un repas complet.

J'ai adoré mon expérience; excellente nourriture, super ambiance, bon service! On avait avec nous un bébé de 19 mois & tout s'est avéré excellent! (On a aussi aidé en venant tôt pour souper; étant conscients qu'un bébé dans un resto; ça peut déranger).

Really solid Korean spot. The bibimbap was fresh & flavorful, with perfectly cooked veggies, crispy bits of meat, & a runny egg that tied everything together. The miso soup & kimchi on the side were a great touch & tasted authentic. Portions were satisfying & the presentation was on point. Definitely a place I'd come back to if you're craving a comforting, well-balanced meal.

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!

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!

We ordered the seafood pajeon, seafood soondubu, & yangnyum chicken. The food was good overall. The soup was flavorful, & the chicken had a nice sweet & spicy umami flavor that my husband really liked, though the sauce was a bit on the heavy, sweeter side, so it's something you can only enjoy a few pieces of.

Service was polite, but we felt a little rushed. They served the food & checked in once, but it felt like they wanted to turn the table quickly. We hadn't even been there for an hour.

I'd recommend going when it's not too busy so you can take your time & really enjoy the meal. I'd come back to try other dishes, maybe with a bigger group next time so we can share & sample more items.
