Enjoy authentic, contemporary and healthy Korean cuisine prepared by the chef-owner who shares his philosophy of food which is harmony, relationship and happiness.
MoonSikdang is repeatedly described as an authentic Korean standout with dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, spicy tofu soup, and seafood pancakes delivering rich flavors and generous portions. Reviewers praise friendly, attentive service and a clean, welcoming atmosphere, with staff helping with takeout and seating when needed. While the price is noted as a bit higher than some other spots, the quality and portions are seen as worth it. Space is small and weekends can mean a wait, so making a reservation is advised. Overall, MoonSikdang is regarded as a top choice on the south shore and in Montreal, consistently delivering flavorful, well-presented meals that keep guests coming back.
One of the best Korean restaurants in Montreal! The portions are huge, & you can't go wrong ordering anything from the menu-it's surprisingly authentic, even better than many places in Korea. Must-try dishes include the bone-in fried chicken, kimchi pancake, seafood pancake, & BBQ bulgogi. The only downside is that the restaurant is quite small, so there's almost always a wait.
Always has great food with decent portions sizes with even some extra side dishes to your meal. The service was great & but sometimes wasn't always present but it's normal. The shop was clean & had a nice atmosphere with some great tunes to ease the room from the quiet.

Food was delicious! I think this restaurant is authentic. The best Korean restaurant in the south shore that is actually run by Koreans. Although the dishes are a bit on the pricier side, the quality & taste is worth the price. I recommend the spicy pork (jeyuk) as it had a nice grilled flavour & was well seasoned. The dolsot bibimbap came pipping hot & the rice was super crispy. We also ordered the galbitang which had a nice clean flavour. We saw a lot of locals ordering that too. The seafood pancake was also a home run. Nice & light. Perfectly crispy & not too much batter. Will be back again!!
I was curious about this restaurant after reading so many good reviews. However I wouldn't say it as good as some say. I enjoyed my pork bibimbap, but I found that they weren't too generous with the pork. Especially for the price they are charging. The presentation of the dishes are nice. The staff was friendly & the atmosphere was ok. The dessert was a disappointment. It was a small matcha cake with chocolate sauce. The matcha wasn't good & the chocolate made it worse. It gets busy on the weekends & there are often lineups. Go early or call to reserve.
The dishes tasted great. It was a little pricey, but worth it. The side dishes were great. It's hard to find a good authentic & family owned Korean restaurant on the south shore.
This is an authentic family-run Korean restaurant, much different than mainstream all-you-can eat Korean BBQ restaurants. Very few restaurants in Greater Montreal like this one can make you exclusive Korean dishes such as bibimbap or pa-jeon. My bibimbap was served in a traditional sizzling hot stone bowl & the pa-jeon was crispy hot delicious! Unlike some reviews, this restaurant cannot be compared to cheap Chinese food restaurants. It is in a category (& culture) of its own, & we cannot wait to return to explore other dishes of their wide-range menu!
We ordered tteokbokki & bibimbap, & while the taste was decent, the prices were outrageous. The $20 tteokbokki came with only a dozen pieces, which is ridiculous. Considered we have tried a lots of Korean restaurant in Montreal the average price for the dish is around $15 & double the portion. The bibimbap wasn't even served in a stone bowl, just a regular metal one. The side dishes were very small in quantity & didn't include the classic Korean kimchi. We had tried their takeout before & found it delicious, which is why we decided to dine in. Overall, we were quite disappointed. The dining space is small & very stuffy. Hope they improve.

I wanted to address the below response provided to my friend Shan regarding our experience at this restaurant last Saturday. First & foremost, we fully understand the challenges faced by small businesses, especially given the current economic environment, & we genuinely want to support local establishments. However, we left our review based on our factual experience, & I feel it's important to clarify a few points. While we acknowledge that Friday nights are typically busier, we took the proactive step of making a reservation in advance. We believe that customers have the right to be informed that there is a time constraint on their dining experience. We were unaware that we had only 1.5 hours for our meal, & this information would have been valuable when making our reservation. On the evening of our visit, all members of our party arrived at 6:25, & our meals were served at 6:50. Given that it was our first time at this restaurant, we were eager to explore the menu & order additional dishes to share. However, due to the time constraint, we refrained from ordering as much as we initially intended. At 7:25, we were informed that we had only 5 minutes remaining, & our table was being cleared without confirming if we had finished our meal. In my case, I ordered the hot tofu soup with rice & was unable to finish it, leaving a considerable amount of soup untouched. By 7:30, we found ourselves outside the restaurant, observing a queue forming. Regarding our overall experience, it was indeed unique, but regrettably, it may not lead us to revisit this restaurant regularly. In addition to our specific encounter, we found the prices to be slightly high when compared to the overall taste & service provided.
Very charming & authentic Korean restaurant. The dishes are always fresh & absolutely delicious. There is no other Korean restaurant that I’ve tried in the Montreal area that comes close to the level of professionalism from the staff as well as having an exciting & delicious menu.
