Maison Chez Bong is a small, cozy basement Korean spot in Chinatown known for authentic flavors, generous portions, and affordable prices. The menu features bibimbap, jap chae, tteokbokki, galbi, and crispy fried chicken, with several reviews praising dishes served in piping hot stone bowls and a warm, inviting ambience. While the vibe is consistently friendly and the service attentive, occasional lines on busy nights are noted and a few critiques mention a touch more salt on jjajangmyeon or a dessert option that is missing. The overall impression is that Maison Chez Bong is a reliable, best in town kind of choice for Korean food, a hidden gem that many would gladly return to for comfort food and quick service.
This is my favourite Korean place in Montreal. The food is absolutely delicious (my favourite dishes are the shrimp bibimbap, seafood pancake & chicken), the staff is kind & pleasant to interact with, & the kimchi is the best I've had. I often eat at Chez Bong & I like buying their kimchi to take home. Although in a basement the atmosphere is cozy & laid-back. I highly recommend this resto if you're looking for something authentic & good customer service.
Everything was absolutely amazing. We went twice on two different days. Tried Korean food for the first time. Jap chae. Sweet & sour chicken. & two more dishes. Everything was yummy. On the look out for Korean eateries around us already. The service was super helpful kind & humble. Fully recommend.
If you're looking for an authentic Korean restaurant in Montreal, this is a great option. It's located right in Chinatown, so it's quite easy to find & accessible by metro. The menu is diverse, featuring traditional Korean dishes like bibimbap & tempura. Prices are reasonable, & the owner & staff are very friendly.

Bibimbap was excellent as well as the kimchi pork stir fry. Will come back again for sure. I love that they also offer bibimbap in two types of bowls. One in dolsot (hot) & in stainless bowl (cold, which I prefer.. most Koreans do I feel)
We were a group of three people, went a little after 12:30, there was no line so we didn't wait. We ordered 150$ worth of food, took home some really good pickled radish (insanely good & cheap) & enjoyed some soju there. We ate everything so fast we didn't even have time to take pictures. The lady there was sweetest ever, 100/10 recommend to anyone in the area, it really is THE place in Chinatown to get Korean food
The restaurant is situated in a basement & accessible only through the stairs. Overall experience was ok, the place is small but functional. Ordered the hot bibimbap & the potato as a side, the bibimbap was filling & really nice, only complain is the beef amount probably around 20g if not less, basically non existent but vegetables really fresh & tasty, the potato side I simply loved it. I remember the sides used to be included in the main dish but I guess cost got too high. Prices are fair for what you get so a solid option for Korean food.
Not bad but not great Korean food in Chinatown. They don't serve banchan & the flavours aren't as bold as other Korean places but overall it was decent.
Little restaurant on St Laurent, in the heart or Chinatown, that showcases amazing Korean food. The food was ro die for; fresh, hot, flavorful & decent portions. The hospitality & service was truly one of the best I've ever had. Most definitely recommend & will be back to share this beautiful spot with friends & family.
