Opiano is a cozy Korean spot near McGill offering authentic, generous portions at affordable prices with a fast, self-serve style and an efficient system that has customers ordering first and then finding a table; the menu features pork bone soup, stews, fried chicken, and bingsu, all described as tasty, filling, and good value, with large portions and a casual, student friendly vibe; while the dining experience is praised for speed, cleanliness, and value, some reviews note desserts can disappoint, a few dishes lean sweet or bland, and a takeaway bag charge mentioned, but overall Opiano is a reliable go to for cheap, tasty Korean comfort food close to campus.
Wow - who thought that Montreal would have amazing & cheap Korean food? It's hidden inside the basement of an apartment building too. The pork bone soup was cheap & very filling / flavorful. Service was excellent as well. Huge portions for the price. Highly recommend.
My go to korean food place after class! The food not only super delicious but also incredibly cheap. The cheapest korean food place in montreal. The service is super fast too & there's plenty of seating. The restuarant gets packed fairly quickly after opening so its best to go right after it opens.
I usually get their stews but I know their fried chicken & bingsu are super good.
Fantastic korean eatery. Unassuming but pleasently surprised. Generous portions & fair prices. We're Korean & as authentic as we've had in a long time. Bingsu was excellent!
Opiano is a cozy Korean restaurant right next to McGill University & it's perfect for students to grab lunch after class. 🍲 It offers authentic & tasty Korean dishes at a very reasonable price, making it a go-to spot for both quick meals & casual hangouts.
In the summer, they serve bingsu (shaved ice dessert), & I have to say the milk flavor is the richest & creamiest you can find in Montreal. 🧊🥛 Absolutely delicious! Strongly recommended for anyone looking for great Korean food near campus. 🌟
Needed a quick lunch near campus & a friend recommended this Korean restaurant. Having lived in Seoul, I can say the bibimbap really hit the spot! The portions are generous for the price, & it even comes with a miso soup. The ordering system is super efficient, you order on a digital screen, & about 10 minutes later your name is called to pick up your food. Everything was fresh, fast, & tasty. I've already been back to try their soup, & it was just as delicious. Definitely a new go-to spot!
Opiano is a good , economic Korean restaurant perfect for a work/between class/ or after school meal.
1. Good price.
I have ordered pork bone soup & kimbap with beef , with tax 33$. & these were shared with my friend.
2. Good taste
The pork bone soup is very tasty.
It is DIY style & food court atmosphere. I highly recommend
They have bingsoo as well.will definitely try that in Summer 🌞!
15-Aug-2024 Came back & they are newly renovated! You now order on a touchscreen & when the food is ready they call your number. Food is as delicious as always! The moochim mandu, pork bone stew, bulgogi, jeyuk & bingsoo are stellar & at such an affordable price. Wish they were also open on weekend. ----------- So I'm writing this review based off my dozens of visits to opiano. This place was my go to place as a student (& still come as a non student) because of the delicious Korean food, the quick service & the friendly staff. It's a order at the counter type of place where you order & then they give you a number. They display your number on this digital clock looking thing & once your food is ready, you pick it out at the front. The owner was always so friendly to us! I used to come here for their AMAZING red bean bingsu but now they don't seem to be selling it anymore. I also LOVE their tteokbokki, Pork bone soup, tofu stew & spicy pork plate. This place will always have a soft spot in my heart, so highly recommend.

So authentic Korean restaurant. You ordered all the meal from the machine & no tips added since all self service like how you order at McDonald which is so convenient for those who work in downtown & tourists. The whole ordering process is high tech & time saving. We ordered pork bone soup which is a must try here! Best ever. Also the tofu soup with seafood was sooo good. These two come with rice. I hope I could stay in Montreal couple more days & visit here everyday. The customer service is so friendly, they are humble & polite. Highly recommend! It could be a good stop after hiking the Mount Royal.
i had the pork bone soup & it ROCKS. best korean restaurant in montreal. feels like a hug. the staff is also super friendly & despite being in a basement food court it has a great vibe.
