So good. I had the fried calamari & bibimbap. The fried calamari are by far the best I ever had. So tender. The beef bibimbap was great. Serve in a hot bow,l I recommend that you let the rice crisp up at the bottom before mixing the egg. The service was great too. I forgot the name of the drink but it was very good. It's the one made from Soju & yuzu. It's a small place with a soft atmosphere. Next time I'm in Montreal I will absolutely eat there again.
Came here for dinner & lunch, authentic Korean food. Nice marinated appetizer dishes. The swizzling beef was ok; I was expecting beef ribs, but it's not, flavor only ok. My favorite was the seafood pancake; not a big portion, but crispy & tasty; full of veggies. The beef broth with beef 🥟 was delicious.

The bibimbap with beef bulgogi was DELICIOUS & probably better than any bibimbap I've had in Toronto. I would come back for this dish any day! The service wasn't super fast but I don't think that's a bad thing because why is everyone in a rush anyway.
Cute place, few tables & bar seats with warm decoration, service was good. Not too impressed by the food (beef bibimbap/seafood pa jun/beef yachae). Smaller portions than expected (sub-par portion of meat), banchan (side dishes like kimchi etc..) were not provided like other Korean restaurants, needs to be bought.
Small cozy restaurant, friendly staff doing it's best to offer a good experience for everyone. The bibimbap was good & served in hot stone bowl. Making the rice crispy after a few minute, delicious. The beef bulgogi was fragrant & tender, I liked it a lot paired with kimchi, salad & rice. Quick service despite the waitress being on her own.
This amazing Korean restaurant is a hidden gem on the corner of Ontario Street & Clark Street in downtown Montreal :) Just a few steps from Saint Laurent metro. Feels like you have walked into a different cozy world with mesmerizing lanterns everywhere. The staff is super kind & welcoming & food is beyond delicious. We had Fried Squid for appetizers & the kimchi was a gourmet's delight. For dinner, I thoroughly enjoyed my Chicken Bulgogi Bibimbap & others in the group also loved their Octopus Bibimbap as well as Chicken Bulgogi. I know I will be coming back to this restaurant with family & friends again. Would recommend 10/10 UPDATE: Went & tried Pajun for appetizers which were the best seafood crispy pancakes! We also tried out favorite Dol sot Bibimbap with beef, octopus, & spicy shrimp. Also loved the chicken bulgogi which was just as delicious:) For dessert we had the chocolate mousse & mango sorbet:) A fantastic restaurant to enjoy the delicacies of authentic Korean food
This is a very cute restaurant. Decor is lovely, & I was so hoping to be able to give it a higher score.
The waitress was lovely. She was alone & had a lot to do, but she was great...except for one major error which I will get to shortly.
Started with the Pajun (sea food pancake appetizer). It was fantastic. Amazing flavor & the sauce was perfect. A fantastic start.
The typical starter complimentary salads were great bites, & more would have been easily welcomed.
We ordered a side of their house-made Kimchi. Solid, as you'd expect, very good.
We ordered the beef bibimbap. It was very bland. We only realized AFTER our meal (& my wife asked me not to complain about the lack of flavor during the meal), that other tables were getting their order with a sauce. It came with a sauce; she forgot the sauce. After the meal she apologized...but you'd think that when you render a dish that bad with a huge error, you do 'something' to make good or compensate (hell, even comp the 4$ side order of Kimchi, something). This was not done.
The Dak chicken was general tao-ish. Great veggies, crisp chicken, but kind of underwhelming. Not bad, but would not order again.
Luckily, we had the idea to end out meal with a second appetizer, the chicken wings. Most certainly the best for last. I'd have that again...though unlkely to go back.
2 appetizers, 2 mains, one side, 3 cocktails, tax, tip, $144.
Generally, that is an okay price for a meal in downtown Montreal, but the overal quality & size of portions....I would have expected that to be an $80-$90 meal.
Would I go back? Probably not...simple Korean done right is in abundance in our city & I'd try elsewhere. If I HAD to go back? The seafood pancake & chicken wings could be ordered with ease.
