Reviewers consistently praise Maison Bulgogi House for hearty, home style Korean dishes and reliable flavors that feel authentic. Soups like samgaetang, gamjatang, dolsot bibimbap and pork potato soup are highlighted as comforting and generously portioned, with many saying the meals are satisfying even on a sick day or when craving a comforting bowl. The staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, with attentive service and helpful dish recommendations, and many reviews mention good value and reasonable prices. The dining atmosphere is noted as cozy with a casual vibe, though a few remarks point to outdated decor or dim lighting. Takeout and online ordering are common and convenient, and some reviewers appreciate extras like complimentary tea and well balanced banchan. A minority mention issues such as a below par dish or a problematic bill including tips and taxes, but these seem isolated. Overall, Maison Bulgogi House is seen as a strong go to spot in Montreal for comforting Korean cooking and reliable portions, with many calling it a hidden gem.
I wish they would focus more on a few dishes they already do well instead of having a thousand items on their menu, it's never a good idea. I love their gamjatang & their dumpling rice cake soup but their seollongtang was bad. i feel like 10yrs ago this place was full of people & now it's always empty, they need to revamp the place a little so it's more enticing. the bathrooms are absolutely horrible & the service isn't always great.
So far this is the most authentic korean restaurant in Montreal. Kimchijjigae was scorching hot as it should be, very generous amount of beef in Kalbi Tang & new interesting dish Mun a Muchim - cold salad with octopus, definitely should try if you like seafood with sweet-sour sauce. Banchan were delicious as well. The place looks simple but cozy. Prices are surprisingly moderate. Overall you definitely should try this place :)
Great food, & great value too! Would 100% recommend. Friend had the pork bone soup, which looked delicious! Meanwhile I had the bulgogi, & we split some Fried Chicken & Fried Calamari between the two of us. Left the place satisfied, & full.
What a great & authentic food! Great & fast service, incredible taste of soups, fried shrimps & dumplings! A great starter plate before the appetizers that are offered by the house! My best recommendation!

Cold side dishes 2nd refill will be charged extra. :( (disappointed) I love the black goat stew! 🍲 To nitpick could be the Teriyaki sauce was added too much on salmons, which tasted salty to me personally. The steam dumplings were a bit over-cooked. The owner offered us awesome services. Overall it's a nice place to chill! ♨️
Repas délicieux, serveur très sympathique qui nous a super bien conseillé sur les plats. Belle découverte ! Prix raisonnables. À recommander. On reviendra, c'est sûr!
The pork bone soup/gamjatang has a rich & silky broth (akin to a good ramen) accompanied by heaping amounts of fall-off-the-bone pork. If you're wondering if you should eat here or what to order, try this.
I don't know why the reviews are so low for this place. Maybe everyone is getting the wrong dish? Get the spicy pork bone soup! It's one of my favorite dishes in the city. I've lived in New York & had spicey pork bone soup at multiple places in New York, & Toronto. This one is by far the best! It's simple but intensely flavored. The portions are large, & the prices are very fair. There are few legit no-frills restaurants in Montreal, & this is one of them.

I always get their pork bone soup every time I come here. My sister used to takeout a few of those to do hotpot at home. It is absolutely delicious & it is a hidden gem for anybody who could handle the heat. That being said, the atmosphere of the place is certainly lacking, & the services were just okay. Seems like most people would rather order takeout instead of coming here, & I would recommend that route too.
Used to go there every week for years a long time ago. The original owners were this couple that made authentic Korean dishes. Went back & had their shabu shabu, & was not disappointed, but not amazed since it used to taste better in my memory. A great spot to go during the weekend if your options were jampacked on Saint Catherine Street.
Unfortunately the place is ugly, & I thought the price range was more for students' budget. The food was ok, a bit oily though, but we were not happy in overall.
