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.
There were four of us. The ordering area was self-service, & it was a bit confusing since it was our first time there & we didn't know what to order. The noodles were made of sweet potato starch & arrived clump together. The rice with meat bone broth was good, but without vegetables, it was a bit too rich. The desserts were really expensive, even though they tasted good. A small bowl of shaved ice with chocolate drizzled on top cost $14…
My go to korean food place after class! The food not only super delicious but also incredibly cheap. The cheapest korean food place in montreal. The service is super fast too & there's plenty of seating. The restuarant gets packed fairly quickly after opening so its best to go right after it opens.
I usually get their stews but I know their fried chicken & bingsu are super good.
Pretty decent food. The pork bone soup is amazing, while I found the rest of the savoury dishes to be bland. Portion wise, you get your money worth. Bingsu dessert was also impeccable.
Ma femme vietnamienne & moi avons diné ici durant nos années universitaires! Bonnes portions pour un bon prix & c'est délicieux! Ce restaurant m'a permis d'en apprendre plus sur la culture occidentale & d'éduquer ma femme à propos de son pays natal, étant donné qu'elle a été adoptée. Notre plat préféré est le « bulgogi », nous payons environ 15$ chaque.

I ordered the army stew & a salad. I put two stars because I was expecting more flavor & more tofu in the soup. Also, the noodles are the cheap ones from instant ramen packs & the soup consisted mostly of them. I knew that when ordered that dish I would get spam, but I wasn't expecting it to be so insipid & flavorless.
I added a star because the dressing for the salad, yet why do u call a salad a bunch of lettuce together?
The prices are decent, yet I was expecting better quality.
The concept of ordering first & then finding a table is an efficient system, though finding an open table was difficult during the busy lunchtime rush. The food itself was good, but every dish was a little too sweet.
