Les repas étaient excellent ! J'ai beaucoup aimé mais un peu relevé à mon goût.
Le personnel était très agréable, cependant il faisait un peu froid dans le restaurant.
J'y retournerai tout de même ! Un super restaurant coréen avec des plats goûtus
I visited a Korean restaurant today called Itaewon. I ordered chicken coated in sweet & spicy Korean sauce with pork mandu. The chicken was tender, & the sauce tasted authentic, like being in Korea. The place is easy to reach by metro. I'd rate my experience 8 out of 10.

Deuxième fois que je laisse un avis pour cet endroit tout simplement sublime. De la nourriture au staff il n'y a vraiment aucun mot à dire, c'est le meilleur restaurant Coréen à Montreal!!
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 :)
Very cute place , workers very nice , very chill. Generous portions. I Really enjoyed their tea. The place is very cutely decorated, with bunch of Korean stuff but also someone's anime figures collection 😅. THEY HAVE PHYSICAL MENUS
