Maison Chez Bong is celebrated as a cozy, authentic Korean spot in Montreal's Chinatown, offering comforting dishes with generous portions and friendly, attentive service that many reviewers describe as warm and welcoming; reservations are often advised because seating can be limited, especially for larger groups, and the place can get busy with wait times that are considered worth it; favorites include bibimbap, kimchi, tempura vegetables, dumplings, tteokbokki, galbi, and fried chicken, with several reviewers noting the addictive kimchi and a few highlighting the seafood pancake and the homey atmosphere; some diners mention long lines but quick turnover and solid value, while a few comments point to minor inconsistencies such as a need for salt in some dishes or tofu in stews that could be stronger, yet the overall impression remains one of authentic flavors, friendly staff, and a reliable go-to for Korean food in Montreal.
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)
Pleasantly surprised to have stumbled across this place because the line across the street was very long. We got in just before the kitchen was closing & we weren't sure if we'd get turned away. The server was exemplary, he didn't even mention closing time, got us our food promptly, & was pleasant all around thoughout the service.

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.
Après avoir testé plusieurs restaurants du quartier, celui-ci se démarque largement. La cuisine était excellente & authentique, de qualité. Le restaurant était propre (salle, toilettes, vaisselle). Je tiens à souligner le service au top. Nous avons été très bien reçus, ce qui est loin d'être le cas partout. Les plats arrivent chauds & bien présentés. En plus de cela, les prix sont très raisonnables pour la ville. Je recommande sans hésiter.
