As a self-proclaimed Food Inspector, I don't hand out praise lightly. But La Table de Jo absolutely earned it.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place takes authenticity seriously. The dishes were not only beautifully presented, but deeply flavorful-true Korean comfort food done with precision & care. Every bite felt intentional, balanced, & freshly made.
What stood out most was the attention to detail-from the quality of ingredients to the execution of each dish. You can taste the difference when a kitchen genuinely respects its craft.
The service elevated the experience even further. Warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. It felt like we were taken care of from start to finish without ever being rushed.
If you're looking for authentic Korean cuisine in Montreal that delivers both on flavor & experience, this spot passes inspection with ease.
We recently visited this spot in downtown Montreal & were seriously impressed. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this place is definitely worth trying.
We ordered the Dalk Galbi with cheese, the Doenjang-jjigae (Korean soybean paste stew), beef bulgogi. The Dalk Galbi really stood out - the marinated chicken with melted cheese over rice hit our craving perfectly. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, & well-prepared.
The service was also amazing - friendly, attentive, & made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend this place if you're craving authentic Korean cuisine. We'll definitely be back!
Great location, delicious authentic Korean cuisine, I was particularly interested by the lunch special (daily from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm) which comes with 4 combos, all under 17$ & even includes miso soup as well! For dessert, you have to try the ice cream croffle!

While the food is ok, we feel like the service was a bit cold. We have to ask for water to be refilled & to ask for plates. & beware, we ordered their so called bingsu, but it's just a ball of vanilla ice cream & some red beans on top of crushed ice. An authentic bingsu is made of sweetened milk shaved ice that is snow textured, not unflavored crunchy crushed ice (frozen water balls). We are disappointed that it costs 9$ for what we got... It also looked much bigger on the menu but when it arrived it was the size of of a small rice bowl. Very over priced for the quantity & the quality.
The seafood pancake was quite oily, thin & small, for 20$.
We will not return.
Great place with delicious, authentic Korean food. My only concern was that the dining area felt quite cold...Improving the heating would make the experience even better :) . Overall, highly recommended!
Had a wonderful dining experience at La Table de Jo . The food was flavorful, authentic, & beautifully prepared true Korean comfort food done right. Everything we tried was delicious & well balanced.
The service made the experience even better. Grace was incredibly kind, attentive, & welcoming, & she made sure we were comfortable the entire time.
A great spot for quality Korean cuisine with excellent service. Highly recommend & can't wait to return!
A cute hidden gem!! Authentic Korean food, clean environment, & such nice & cool servers. My favourite is the poulet katsu. The yuzu salad that's included is adddictive! I knew I couldn't just gate keep it for myself
We visited from the US & had a wonderful time. The server was attentive, & the menu offered authentic yet modern Korean dishes. My kids enjoyed the Jjimdak, & I especially liked the Muchim Mandu. The highlight was the Samgyupsal-it stayed warm until the end of the meal thanks to the built-in heater. Highly recommend!
