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.
Il y a quelques semaines, nous avons appelé le restaurant pour confirmer que la viande était halal, plus précisément la saucisse dans le rosé tteokbokki. On nous avait confirmé que c'est bien halal à deux reprises différentes. Ensuite, nous avons confirmer en présentiel que c'était halal, on nous confirme que oui. Nous avons donc commandé le « rosé tteokbokki », qui contient une saucisse, ainsi que le « Japchae » au boeuf a quelques reprises, en confirmant à toute les fois. Aujourd'hui, avant de refaire une commande, nous avons rappelé pour confirmer l'information, & cette fois, la personne au téléphone nous a dit que la viande n'a jamais été halal, mais seulement le poulet. Pourtant, d'autres employés nous avait affirmé le contraire auparavant. Les réponses semblent varier selon l'employé à qui l'on parle, alors qu'il s'agit d'un sujet très sérieux. Il n'est pas acceptable de répondre qu'une viande est halal sans être certain de l'information.
Amazing food, super tasty. Highly recommend this spot & very convenient that the metro is right next to it. Atmosphere is amazing very well decorated. Habin & Han were absolutely great!!
Restaurant Itaewon is a great spot for comforting, authentic Korean flavors. The food comes out hot, hearty, & full of that home-style taste-think rich stews, sizzling BBQ plates, & generous banchan that make the table feel complete. Everything we tried was well-seasoned & satisfying, with good portions that are perfect for sharing. The vibe is casual & welcoming, & the staff are friendly & attentive. If you're craving real Korean comfort food, Itaewon is definitely worth a visit.
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.
Great Korean spot near Beaudry station! I had the bulgogi hot stone pot-super tasty, & the side dishes were delicious too. Loved the cozy vibe with cute Korean decor.
Très bon restaurant. Parfait avant d'aller voir un spectacle en face au National.
Accueille sympathique, endroit charmant & surtout, nourriture très bonne. J'ai testé le barbecue Coréen & c'etait généreux & savoureux. Si je retourne dans ce coin de la ville, je retournerai probablement à ce restaurant. Belle découverte entre amies.
