While the music and environment can occasionally be loud, the overall vibe is consistently described as fun and cozy. The service is widely regarded as exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who are happy to guide guests through the barbecue process. Although some minor concerns regarding ventilation and occasional service delays during busy periods were mentioned, the consensus remains that this is a premier destination in Montreal for those seeking authentic Korean cuisine and a memorable group dining experience.
Authentic Korean dishes with the best ambience - it feels like I'm dining in Seoul! Their meat selection for the bbq is not overwhelming & you will NOT smell when you leave the restaurant. The serving is portion is just right.
Must try - Seafood jjigae & Rosé Tteokbokki! They also serve great cocktails & mocktails.
Friendly service, fast & efficient as well. Generous portions & we loved the condiments/kimchi side dishes. The litchi mocktail was very good as well. Loved that we had a little booth to ourselves & the street atmosphere with the restaurant's set up. So glad we gave it a try & will be back!
I came here with company who wanted to try this restaurant & wasn't disappointed with the quality of service & food! The servers were kind, attentive & were quick to assist with cooking our ordered meats. They also refilled our side dishes quickly when we ran low on them. it's a great Korean BBQ place! I was able to recognize almost every K-Pop song they played in the restaurant as well, so that was fun 😆

Nice Korean BBQ place with a really cool atmosphere. When you walk in, it actually feels like being in Korea: they have screens that look like the subway or Incheon Airport, which is a fun detail. The restaurant is big & spacious, which is great whether you come alone, with two people, or with a group. We were five & it was very comfortable.
The menu has a lot of choice. We took a combo for five people & there was more than enough food. You get a lot of meat plus three side dishes. We chose the corn (really good) & the budae-jjigae (army stew).
About the budae-jjigae: it was okay, but if you've had it in Korea, you'll probably be disappointed. The ramen noodles felt a bit low quality & there was no cheese, so it didn't really taste like the real thing.
The meat itself was very good, & grilling it was fun. The side dishes are refillable, which is a big plus, especially the glass noodles & cucumber. The kimchi was a bit tasteless for me (not very spicy or fermented), better when grilled than eaten as is.
Service was a bit mixed. When the grill got dirty, no one changed it unless we asked. Also later, when it got busier, it felt like only one of the two servers was really working, so things were slower.
One downside is the ventilation because there are extractors over the tables, but they were surprisingly off. Better to put your jacket away.
Overall, good food, nice vibe, generous portions. With better service & ventilation, it would be even better.
The price used to be worth it but every time I come back the banchan get downgraded with cheaper ingredients. There used to be mac salad/interesting tofu dishes & now it's just a combo of vinegar+veggies or bland japchae
Plentiful spread of BBQ meats & comes with tons of small side dishes as it should be in a Korean restaurant. The rest is up to you & your'skills' with the BBQ.
The service here is very good, & the meat was incredibleeeee! Plenty side dishes & salads that come with, it's reasonably priced if you come in big groups! Not much chicken options but the pork & beef are amazing
We went with a group of 11 & the staffs were so nice & welcoming. We ordered the party combo which came with a good variety of meats & other side dishes. The atmosphere was also very reminsicent of the streets you can find in Korea which created a cool & unique ambiance. Highly recommend going with group of friends for some KBBQ & some soju. Also we would like to give a shout out to our waitress Van who was awesome throughout the whole night :).
Beautiful new Korean BBQ spot on St. Catherine near Guy....top quality meats, personal plate dishes, soups & some of the best cucumber salad & kimchi we've ever had.
The server Van & runner Cedric were the only 2 staff on the floor. The place was filling up fast but holy cow they are ROCKSTARS! Not only did Van not become frustrated even though I'm sure she was feeling overwhelmed, her friendly personality & smile stayed the same!
Highly recommend this place & we will definitely be going back!
Thank you for a wonderful experience!
