Reviews describe Matjip as a casual Korean spot where the food delivers consistently, with fried chicken, bulgogi and bibimbap among the crowd pleasers and flavors that feel authentic and comforting. Diners praise juicy, well seasoned chicken and a range of dishes that balance sweetness and savor without feeling greasy, often noting generous portions and good value for the price. The service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, patient, and attentive, with welcoming vibes and willingness to accommodate requests, even during busy times. A halal menu is mentioned, and many appreciate the variety of choices that reflect Korean flavors with broad appeal. Some feedback points include a desire for more vegetable variety in certain dishes, occasional dryness in chicken on one order, and the reality that the small space and limited ventilation can lead to lingering smells, though these are outweighed by the food and hospitality. Takeout and in-store app ordering are convenient, and leftovers are commonly enjoyed, reinforcing the sense of reliable comfort food. Overall, Matjip comes across as a dependable go-to for Korean comfort food, loved by regulars for its consistent flavor, friendly service, and easygoing atmosphere.
Delicious! If you like trying foods you may not have had before this is the place to go! Korean style foods served fresh & hot. I had the beef bibimbap & it was truly delicious. The price is a bit higher than you might expect for Asian food, but the quality is there. Also try Korean Fried Chicken, it's amazing!
They have the best korean fried chicken ever! Juicy, crispy, & well seasoned fried chicken that awakens the glutton that lies within. I highly recommend their creamy onion fried chicken! The sauce is absolutely divine. I could put their creamy onion sauce on anything if they sold it in a bottle! They also do two types of fried chicken specials: boneless & bone-in chicken that comes with a soda of choice, fries/rice (respectfully), salad, fried dumplings & japchae (korean glass noodles). Their gamjatang is very delicious as well! It's full of meat & they give you a nice dipping sauce that pairs well with the pork. I also like that the rice comes fresh in a hot steel pot. Overall, it is one of my favourite korean restaurants to eat at. Honestly their prices are extremely reasonable & the portions are very generous. The food is delicious & the korean auntie who is the waitress there is always very sweet. Give Matjip a try, you won't regret it!

Came here for dinner with a friend. I enjoyed my food, we got some Korean fried chicken sweet & spicy, it was delicious! We then had bibimbap! I love the presentation. I thought our bibimbap took longer than expected but I saw they had a lot of take out food to prepare. I enjoyed this place, will be coming again !

I had the fried chicken, which was good, but some of the pieces were mostly gristle & bone. The nice pieces were good though. My wife very much enjoyed the miso soup & my kids liked the ramen & dumplings. The place was cold. AC seemed to be on, even though it was not that warm out in early May. The food too a long time to come. In fact, we ordered beer as well but they only brought that out at the same time as the food. So we sat there for around 30 minutes without the beer being brought out. Also, it seemed like the wait staff also work in the kitchen. I think service would improve if they had people who do nothing but serve tables. Lastly note about servers, there is no point wearing latex gloves if you NEVER take them off! They touch everything with the gloves on, cash register, plates, receipts, cleaning cloths.... never took the gloves off. Overall, I'll try this place again to see if we have a better experience next time. It was decent overall, but I have a feeling I didn't get their best this first time.
They're super busy, once they got your order it's not a long wait for the food to come, we love the boneless fried chicken combo it very generous portions including fries , 2 fried veggies dumpling , japchae & 3 different sauces ( my favourite were garlic soy & onion cream) everything was delicious
Great Korean restaurant, food taste very good. I love the fried chicken here. & the staff are super nice, offered us free pop drink. Love it & will. Definitely come back again. 😘😘😘

I was sent here haphazardly from a friend wanting me to try Korean Fried Chicken. So glad we found this place. Miso soup with a homey delicious flavour. Dumplings (both veg & çhicken) were fried but not oily & the pastry is quite thin. Filling was good as well. The rolled rice cakes (not sure how else to describe this) were really a surprise in terms of its texture. It was really nice. The spicy pork dish with all the toppings & mixes was quite good as well. We finished with this since it was the spiciest. The fried chicken was AMAZING. Really delicious , moist chicken , crunchy exterior, & delicious sauces. Great service & was happy to see a almost family vibe in the back. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We'll be back
Best fried chicken I've had & the bulgogi (pork & beef plates) & tteok-bokki are amazing. I wish they would open another location in Vaudreuil; i'd go more often
The food is delicious & the staff is so nice & generous with the portions. I absolutely love this place! One of my restaurant to go. The fried chicken with creamy onion sauce & the tteokbokki with the cheese is soo good. I definitely recommend this place for korean food.
