Overall, Itaewon MTL is widely praised for authentic Korean flavors, generous portions, and friendly, attentive service, with highlights including bulgogi, tteokbokki, japchae, bibimbap, and fried chicken, all described as fresh, well balanced and satisfying. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the decor is cute, and the staff are typically helpful, making it a popular choice for both solo diners and groups at reasonable prices. A few notes mention dishes arriving a bit salty or not as hot as expected, and one takeout experience suffered from delays that left items cold, but dine in visits generally shine with speed and quality. Overall it is regarded as a solid option for Korean cuisine in Montreal, with many guests saying they would return to try more dishes and recommend Itaewon MTL to others.
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!!
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.
Les plats sont excellents, il y a une bonne diversité sur le menu. Les serveurs étaient très polis & sympathiques ce qui donne une bonne ambiance. Un très bon restaurant rue saint Catherine, je recommande !
Amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely incredible, the people are very kind & friendly, & the place is nicely designed & cozy. Wonderful experience, 10/10
