Maison Chez Bong est un repaire chaleureux et authentique de cuisine coréenne dans le quartier chinois de Montréal, apprécié pour ses plats réconfortants servis en portions généreuses et pour un accueil sympathique et attentif; il est souvent conseillé de réserver car les places sont limitées, surtout pour les grands groupes, et l'endroit peut devenir très fréquenté avec des files d'attente qui valent la peine; les plats phares incluent le bibimbap, le kimchi, les légumes tempura, les dumplings, le jjajangmyeon, le galbi et le poulet frit, beaucoup soulignant le kimchi et certains apprécient la crêpe de fruits de mer et l'atmosphère conviviale; certaines remarques mentionnent des petites incohérences comme un manque de sel dans certains plats ou le tofu dans les soupes qui pourrait être plus prononcé, mais dans l'ensemble l'impression est celle d'une cuisine coréenne authentique, d'un accueil chaleureux et d'un endroit fiable pour manger à Montréal.
Hands down, without a doubt or competition, simultaneously one of my favorite meals & most memorable dining experiences I had during my short work trip to Montreal.
When I searched up'Korean food in Montreal' during my intense craving for warm, comforting, asian food in a new city, this place popped up on multiple lists, recommendations, & Google Maps. After a long day & a light stroll through Old Montreal, I finally had the chance to(& was determined to) come here on Friday evening. I was kind of concerned that I wasn't going to get in because 1) I've had multiple occasions of restaurants turning me away well before their closing time in Montreal (Which is still a mystery I'm) trying to solve 🤣😅, & 2) Well, it's Friday night! Luckily, I was able to get in after a short 5-minute wait, & although I was a lone wolf & would be perfectly content with being tucked away in the corner with a small table to myself, the (who I later found out to be) Owner ended up seating me in a big table by myself- felt kind of guilty, but also so kind!
The drinks & the food came out very quickly, I wont touch on the beer, because beer is beer lol, but the Spicy Pork Grill….first of all, the HUGE portion that only came out to $21?! In this economy? Secondly, the intense sizzling sound as the dish came out of the kitchen was enough to claim its #1 spot, but above all - the rich marinade without being too salty, the onions that cut through & help balance the fattiness of the pork, the perfectly cooked warm & fluffy rice…I honestly can conjure up the taste & how the dish made me feel just through writing this review. I had intended to pack 1/2 of it to go for my hotel room later, I promise, I did. I ended up walking out with a full & satisfying belly & a completely empty plate 🫣🤣
When I was paying, I chatted with the owner (well, the daughter of the owner), who told me how she used to live in Vancouver (I'm visiting from Vancouver), & just generally a bit about the history of the place. I feel such warmth & comfort from the food & hospitality - which, when you're in a city/ place for the first time, is truly an irreplaceable feeling.
The reviews speak for themselves, but please support local businesses, especially ones like this with great food, good people, & a big heart. 💛

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.
