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.
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.

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!

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.
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.
First of all, the menu on the QR code. Since they have a website, why not display the menu on it instead of forcing the download of a pdf file. Very annoying. The food is good, the amount is huge. The service is ... slow. That's why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
I am a regular customer at this restaurant. My kids absolutely love the korean food at this restaurant! I tried a variety of menus & was very satisfied with them all! The staff was friendly & the food was delicious, I recommend this restaurant!
J'ai acheté des deux type du noveux style coréen des frits poulet aujourd'hui. Les noms sont snow flake & honey garlic. ils sont tellement délicieux 😋. & les travailleurs qui sont vraiment gentils. J'adors ce restaurant & la nourriture coréenne.
