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!
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.

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 :)
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.
Got so tired from my flight & I needed a nearby meal before it gets dark. Checked the nearby Asian restaurants but didn't like the menu, walking further I saw this restaurant. I checked & it has high ratings but I didn't expect it to be soo good. I ordered bibimbap, no I'm not an expert but I loved the veggies & the sauce & the meat!!! I wonder if it's served like that in Korea too 🤗
Their fried chicken is to die for!!
Solid 10/10 ✨✨✨✨✨
Fries 10/10 ✨✨✨✨✨(just like Costco fries)
Best Korean fried chicken in Montreal! (2025)
Perfect crispy outside, super juicy chicken meat inside. Taste is also wonderful, light weight just so well proportionally balanced. 👏🏻 A special Shoutouts to their attention to detail! Onions slices on top was super thin, & the touch of seasoning on top of the fried chicken elevates the flavor & gives a well finished touch. Chunky fried chicken & also delicately seasoned. Wow!
( I did not like the Creamy onion sauce though, it was too sweet, I personally just don't like any sauce in general.🤣) I would order without sauce next time.
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.
