Moa Moa is widely praised for delicious Korean fare, fair prices, and consistently friendly service. Favorite dishes include cupbap and bibimbap, with many reviewers calling the flavors bold and savory, and japchae with pork and tteokochi among standouts. The atmosphere is described as cozy, casual, and welcoming, a good fit for takeout or dining in, whether solo, on a date, or with friends, and the staff are repeatedly noted as attentive and warm. A few notes mention the shrimp appetizer being crispy but lacking meat and a desire for more seafood options, while the fried chicken is often highlighted as a must try and the overall vibe and comfort food style keep people coming back. Overall Moa Moa delivers consistent quality and a strong value proposition, with many calling it a hidden gem in Verdun and a reliable go to for good Korean food.
Quite possibly the best Korean restaurant my fiancé & i have been to. Everything is delicious from the tofu cupbap to the cheese tteokbokki. Mouth wateringly good. The owner is an absolute sweetheart. Definitely recommended if you want some delicious authentic Korean food. 🙂
Moa Moa is one of those rare hidden gems that never disappoints. It's a cozy, no-frills Korean diner that specializes in crispy, golden fried chicken - do yourself a favor & get the half & half (sweet/spicy + soy garlic combo)! The flavors are bold & addictive without feeling overdone.
It's my go-to stop after a drink in Verdun, whether I'm grabbing takeout or sitting in for a late meal. The vibe is relaxed, casual, & perfect for a solo visit, date night, or a small group of friends - just don't come expecting a big dining room or fancy presentation, because that's not what Moa Moa is about.
Their Japchae with pork is a personal favorite: rich, savory, & loaded with flavor. & the seaweed salad is always fresh & crisp, a great balance to the heavier dishes.
This place quietly delivers every single time. Friendly service, solid portions, & consistently great food. Highly recommended.
My friends & I regularly eat here. Not only is this my favorite place to get delicious, crispy & juicy Korean fried chicken, but the service is up to par with how good the food is. I also recommend the soondubu jjigae, especially in the colder weather--it's so warm & comforting! Try this place out! You won't be disappointed.
So authentic so delicious some of the best Korean food I've had in Montreal. Definitely recommend the beef bibimbap in the stone bowl! & the service was great. 11/10 all around
Moa Moa is a cute, unpretentious little Korean restaurant with friendly staff, flavourful dishes, affordable prices, generous portions & a varied menu. They have lots of vegetarian options. I highly recommend it. 🫰🏻 *** August 2024 The restaurant was packed when we arrived, but luckily a table freed up within 5 minutes. One staff member at Moa Moa does all the customer service & waitressing. She's trilingual, zooms around the restaurant serving everyone at once & is very attentive to her customers. She set our table & took our order quickly, checked in on us several times & made sure we had everything we needed. We could tell that she really cared. 💕 Our entrées arrived within 10 minutes, & our meals were served promptly after that. I always get the tofu japchae when I come here. It's sweet, chewy, peppery & just so darn good. The tofu melts in your mouth, & somehow the noodles stay piping hot for hours. 🍜 The sweet & spicy bite-sized tteokkochi is addictive. It's coated with a tangy sauce & satisfyingly cripsy on the outside & chewy on the inside. 🥢 My husband had beer, fried chicken & ttukbaegi bulgogi, & he thoroughly enjoyed them. The cherry on the cake was the little side of kimchi & (what I assumed to be) pickled radish. So simple, but so tasty. 😙👌🏻 *** 2021, During the pandemic When I stopped by, the restaurant was a bit understaffed. Its two employees could barely keep up with their online delivery orders & in-store customers. I had to wait 10 minutes just to place my order, & a customer who walked in turned around & left after a few minutes! The employee was very nice & apologized several times for the delay. If you're not in a hurry, the food is worth the wait. I tried the tofu japchae: it was 6% vegetables, 4% tofu & 90% noodles (maybe that's why their prices are so low) & so flavourful! I wasn't expecting such plain-looking noodles to be so tasty. Plus I had enough leftovers for two meals! They use styrofoam takeout containers, so maybe remember to bring your own. I'll definitely be coming back to try out other menu items!

Reeeally great Korean food 🤤 their ramen & bibimbap are fantastic, & the staff is so sweet, attentive, & kind! Love coming here with friends. The only thing I'd say is that it can be a bit chilly in the restaurant during the winter, but besides that it's a fantastic spot!
