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.
The owner just ghosted me because of one bad review. I have been his most consistent client for a year & all he can do is ignore you. Very unprofessional & childish. Learn French & avoid that horrid squid dish. I was not expecting Portugal quality squid but at least tasty & not so chewy. Remember, nice but not so nice after all.
___________________________
Today I tried his new menu. STAY away from the 280gr of frozen skids from a supermarket. Chewy, to hot & loaded with the usual mix of cabbage & onion. & he still charged me for a meal that I did not eat & was frankly some of the worse squids I had in a long time. So after a year of trying, still not able to served in French, the owner does not speak english & frankly they just do not care. So I paid 42$ & for a meal that I have not eaten & a glass of wine. NEVER going back, I did my share.
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.
My girlfriend surprised me with this lovely spot. It's a gem. Delicious food & amazing atmosphere. You gotta try the croquettes! Like upscale hash browns. Mm mm mm!

Ça fait 2 fois que nous y allons, & tout y était délicieux! Ingrédients frais & portions généreuses. Le service est plutôt rapide. Le menu offre les classiques de la cuisine coréenne (du moins, ceux que je suis habituée de voir dans les restaurants Montréalais) tout en offrant une diversité & des combos un peu différents. Je compte bien y retourner pour essayer les différents plats du menu :)
