About

Restaurant Mr. Dakgalbi specializes in the art of Korean stir-fry, centered around the iconic dakgalbi dish prepared on large tabletop hot plates. Diners select various proteins, typically marinated spicy chicken, combined with crisp cabbage, sweet potatoes, perilla leaves, and rice cakes. The cooking process occurs directly at the table, allowing the savory gochujang sauce to caramelize and infuse every ingredient with intense flavor. A hallmark of this culinary tradition involves incorporating ramen noodles or additional rice into the leftover sauce to form a crisp, scorched bottom layer known as bokkeumbap. The atmosphere focuses on the communal preparation of these high-heat dishes, prioritizing the integration of textures and temperatures. This establishment delivers a direct, authentic experience centered on the bold, spicy profiles signature to this classic Korean stir-fry specialty.

It's a wonderful Northeast chinese restaurant. Pretty sure it's owned by a korean chinese (a minority in China) couple so some of the dishes are korean. The food was pretty good at affordable prices.

Rambling through the moonlit streets & alleys of Montreal there seems no hope of a sanctuary. The only life to be found in patrolling officers driving slowly by, the late night lovers on the park benches. Verging on calling quits, returning home hungry, I turn the corner &, alas, stumble into the swaying chinese menu in the wind, the fluorescently lit dining area, & the all important flickering'open' sign. An oasis. A lifeline. Mr. Dakgalbi. The pleasant, hardworking lady takes my order & I wait happily. I've already fallen in love, I just don't know it yet.

This is the best Chinese restaurant in all of Montreal. The food is delicious, the service is polite, & the interior is spectacularly clean. If you like Canadian Chinese food, this is where you should eat.
