Soy garlic + yangnyeom fried chicken were EXCELLENT! Pork dupbab was also delicious! Well located, right next to Beaudry metro station. Great Korean food with friendly service! Would definitely visit again!

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.

BEST Korean restaurant ever. I love the cuisine & tried plenty places, hands down the most delicious & they aren't stingy on the portions!! Had the soft tofu soup & the bulgogi BBQ they both SLAPPED! Saved this spot in my list!
Fantastic korean food & excellent service! Got the bulgogi beef bbq plate & it came with a miso soup, korean appetizers (kimchi, seaweed, mushroom) & rice. Huge portion & the flavours were phenomenal, will definitely be back!
On a vraiment aimé notre expérience au resto Itaewon. Les quantités sont généreuses & les différentes options sont très variées & bien présentées. L'atmosphère est détendue & plaisante & ils accueillent tant les familles comme la jeunes couples. Quant à la nourriture, on s'entend qu'on parle de la vraie cuisine coréenne avec les ingrédients soigneusement mélangés & les bonnes épices. L'assiette BBQ était exceptionnellement riche avec plein de saveurs. On retourne bientôt
Excellent service. Extremely helpful staff. First time having proper Korean food & it was amazing in this lovely restaurant in a busy part of Montréal. Would definitely recommend & would definitely come back again.
Great food & better people/owners! They were so accommodating & friendly to my 8 month baby, even offering him food/drinks! We're not from Montreal so we won't see them often but I hope they see this message. We will try to drop by the next time we're in Montreal!!
