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.
Amazing food, amazing prices. Even if the food was only okay, the amount of variety on the plate would have made it memorable & worthwhile - but the quality was also great!
Excellent fried chicken not gready at all & perfectly cooked. All our dishes & appetizers were delicious . We don't live close by but this place though very casual atmosphere has excellent food. Great service, good prices . We ordered a lot of food so even had leftovers for the next day .
Food was so good. Portions very appropriate based on the price. We mainly went to try their pork bone soup but it wasn't available. Hopefully it comes back.
I came to this restaurant a while back completely on a whim, yet to this day i dont regret it & continuously come back for their amazing food. Their chickenkatsu dish is sublime with amazing sides accompanying it. All that & the staff are always kind & smiling whenever you enter. With the price of fast food rising everywhere, it feels great to enjoy their food comparable in price to the lower standard competition as a much better alternative. Would definitely recommend it any day of the week 👍

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 ordered a large to-go portion of the boneless chicken, but the quantity was noticeably smaller than what I've received in the past. Many of the pieces were tiny or just crumbs, & it definitely didn't feel worth the $32 price. I've always chosen this restaurant for fried chicken & soup because the quality has been consistently good - but unfortunately, not this time. I'm really disappointed.

This place was soooo good-I totally recommend it! They've got a huge variety of dishes & appetizers. Prices are pretty affordable. It does get busy fast though we went around 4:30 & didn't have to wait, but honestly, it's worth the wait either way. We were a big super hungry group so it ended up costing a lot, but hey, you only live once!
Really tasty food, quick & nice service, we had fried chicken, bibimbap & other thins & it was al delicious, for a very reasonable price. I'll definitely go back to this place
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!
Food was subpar. The chicken was not crispy, & the sweet & spicy sauce was not the right type of sweetness & spice. I would rather walk down to Matjip instead. They have wayyyy better chicken & more reasonable prices for what you actually get.
The vegetable bibimpab & the miso soup was delicious. The sauce comes on the side so you can control how much you want to add which is appreciated. The tofu soup was good too. The servers are welcoming. The prices are great.
