LA TABLE DE JO is described as a cozy and stylish spot offering authentic Korean comfort food, with many diners praising flavorful dishes, generous portions, and a welcoming, attentive staff; the menu features favorites like bulgogi, bibimbap, kimchi, tteokbokki and fried chicken, and lunch combos are noted as affordable while the atmosphere and decor are frequently highlighted as lively and photo friendly; a few reviews mention dishes that fell short, such as chicken katsu that looked like frozen strips, a misrepresented bingsu, and an oily seafood pancake, and some visits noted slower or cooler service or a dining area that felt chilly, but most guests say they would return to try more items.
I work nearby & had heard about La Table de Jo from colleagues, so I finally gave it a try. As a Vietnamese, I was honestly surprised I hadn't come across this spot earlier.
The staff stood out right away. Super friendly, making the effort to speak French & even double-checking our order to make sure everything was right. It felt thoughtful & genuine.
I went for the midi combo with fried chicken, & it's exactly what you want for lunch. A full plate with variety: crispy chicken with different sauces, rice, salad, dumplings, kimchi, plus a soup on the side. It feels complete without being complicated.
What I liked most is having multiple textures & flavors in one plate. Crunchy, fresh, spicy, comforting. It makes the meal more interesting from start to finish.
Solid spot for a satisfying, no-stress lunch. I'll definitely be back.
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!

Not fantastic... My fiance got the chicken Katsu, & it really looked like frozen chicken strips you get from the grocery store... My japche was fine, but it was mostly noodles, & not a ton of meat.
Though our server was friendly, & the atmosphere was very cool! Feels like a very instagram-y place. But it feels like their menu was an afterthought.
The staff were very friendly & the food was hot & fresh. We got the fried chicken it I was seasoned well & had a nice crisp! Highly recommend the tteoboki to share.
Worst Korean food I have ever eaten in my life. We ordered two sets of bulogi & spicy chicken. The chicken only had more cabbage than chicken. The bullogi sets was a ripoff, the side dish alone not worth it. Kimchi, seaweed, radish. Toronto have better Korean food.One tteokbokki, the sauce was so light, again cabbage no fish cake, my kids said it's like we eat one whole of cabbage. We spend $85, I feel cabbage cost less & honestly we feel like we wasted our money. They should improve on the side dish if they want to survive. Never again.
My partner & I wore passing by & smelt the sesame & knew we had to there. Our host Ian was very affable & informative which made our dining experience even better. The food was scrumptious 😋 I had the Korean chicken & my partner had the Bibimbap spicy 🌶? pork. We shared of course. Our meals were spectacular highly recommend. Will be back.
The place is very cozy with ambient light. Place is small-medium if you are wondering.
For entrance we had miso soup & salad with in house sauce. Personally the sweetish sauce is not my thing so I gave to my colleague.
Main dish, we pretty much took each of one in our group & the beef/chicken dish with, tomatoes/ananas/bean were the best. Meat were juicy. We also end up ordering extras because it tasted so good.
For dessert I took the waffle, ice cream with syrup. It's honestly great, the crunchy crust & soft inside were greatly executed.
However, the steamed bun with red bean is bad & you can taste it's from frozen product that has been steamed again. Would suggest to change to 4 smaller bun instead of a very large one.
Overall we will come back again.

Honestly, this restaurant is so pretty, & the food was delicious. We had the chicken katsu, tteokbokki, & a seafood pancake. I loved that nothing was too oily or too salty. Personally, I found the sauce on the salad that came with the chicken katsu a bit too sweet for my taste, but other than that, everything was great. The highlight for me was definitely the beautiful decor.
