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.
The food was decent but the waitress, unjoo i think? HunJoo? Sorry i can't spell Korean! She was amazing! Super kind, patient & recommended us an amazing dish! She smiled the entire time & she tried her best to accomodate us in french!
I lived in Korea for about 8years & have learned to enjoy their meals. The first time I eat at this restaurant, I felt like i was in Korea. The taste reminds me of all the meals I eat in while I was in Korea & their hospitality is great. Sometimes practice my korean language when placing an order.... & they are always wow by it & excited to see a foreigner speak their language 😄.

Great small spot for Korean fried chicken. Shrimp tempura is classic. The noddles were good too but I would definitely come back for the fried chicken. The staff were welcoming & kind as well.
This is THE place for Korean food in the West Island. Every dish is just done to perfection & all very reasonably priced.
We had the Bibimbap, along with a Tofu Soup, Ramen Soup & some fried vegetable dumplings.
It was all just so good.
Service was reasonably fast, considering it was supper time & they were getting a lot of takeout orders as well.
It's not a very big place, seating is limited , so if you want to dine in, be sure to be there a bit before or little bit after peak lunch/supper hours.
No matter which dish you try, you won't be disappointed.
The best Korean restaurant I have ever tried, the customer service is excellent & the traditional dishes are the best! Besides, the price is quite convenient .

I am not a fan of Korean food, but I enjoyed the food so much. As if it was cooked by a master chef & it was indeed. Delicious healthy. Taste was mild at the same time very tasty. Fresh ingredients warm enough.everything just right. Nice staff. Thank you
I'm Korean. I ate fried chicken, tteokbokki, bibimbap, & soft tofu stew there today. But only the fried chicken was delicious. I feel like I wasted my money.
I had the chance to try a wide variety of Korean dishes, & each menu item was truly delicious & satisfying. I feel like this place is only going to get more popular, so I might miss its cozy atmosphere someday! Haha.

This has become my favorite Korean restaurant in the West Island. The portions are large, & the food is well-prepared & fresh. The lady who serves at the counter is always polite & kind. If ordering takeout, the packaging is neat & clean. It's truly a treat to come here.
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!
I ordered on doordash with high expectations. The tteokboki tasted horrible - it was watery & had a gross aftertaste of saffron. The snow cheese chicken was overly sugary & not coated with enough powder. The seasoning was stuck like paste to the bottom of the box & the chicken was dry. Very disappointed as I love korean food. This was probably the worst korean food I have ever tried. Will not be ordering again.
