Opiano comes across as a fast, affordable Korean spot with generous portions and solid flavors, especially the pork bone soup and bulgogi, and an efficient digital ordering system that suits students and visitors near campus; the summer bingsu is a standout, often praised for rich milk, while overall there is broad appreciation for authentic comfort food and good value, though a few dishes are noted as overly sweet or slightly bland and one review mentions ramen-like noodles in a soup; some diners were surprised by a charge for takeout bags and others noted a self-service, no-tipping setup; the atmosphere is described as cozy and busy, sometimes noisy, with mixed impressions of the staff, yet many call it a dependable quick meal and a top pick for cheap, tasty Korean fare close to campus.
Very good food & relatively affordable. Take the pork bone soup at your risk & peril, it's one of the best choices to make, but can be messy to eat. Still recommend it. Wear a bib.

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!
Everything was ok-ish but that Bingsoo single-handedly made it all worth it. That Bingsoo was some heavenly perfection, a platonic ideal of a dessert. If I go back, it would be for the Bingsoo.

Decent little place near campus that is quite convenient. The food is solid, not bad at all but nothing special. Portions are pretty large & pretty good value. I'm a bit hesitant to branch out & try other meals on the menu but the chicken & rice is good.
On a side note I always appreciate interesting aspects of restaurants whether they improve or take away from the dining experience. Here it was the art, it reminded me of an artist from my hometown. Kinda neat not sure what to think of the painting I posted tbh but cool.
PS thanks for all the new followers I really appreciate it. I promise to stay loyal to the truth & speak my heart on a dining experience. See you in the next review ✌?
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 🌞!
I stayed in a hotel right next to Opiano during a short trip of Montreal & decided to have a dinner there on a Thursday evening in November. It seemed quite busy, but I got a seat immediately. The food was very reasonably priced, plentiful, & was very tasty. The service was quite good as well. I will gladly go back there.
