Reviews describe Mukja as a consistently delicious Korean spot that has improved after renovation, with the jjukkumi bokkeum consistently praised as the standout dish and portions that are generous for the price. The menu is varied and flavorful, with favorites like seafood pancake, beef short ribs, tteokbokki and pajun, and the restaurant is noted for friendly service, quick kitchen times, and plenty of free side dishes plus rotating desserts, making it a good option for both friends and dates. While the atmosphere is described as cute and casual and the value strong for Montreal levels, some comments mention price increases after reopening and occasional inconsistencies such as tangsuyuk arriving soggy or service during peak times not feeling as welcoming.
We decided to eat here with my husband because we were craving Korean food, but unfortunately, we didn't enjoy it. It was overhyped. The soup was good but overly salty. The bibimbap was unappetizing, bland, slightly cold, & the lettuce didn't complement the dish at all. It was also too greasy for my taste.
The service was okay, but it took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, I'd recommend Soopong on Queen Mary-you won't go wrong there.

food came quick, jaw dropping presentation & preparation, amazing depth of flavor. Get the Soondubu with seafood, seafood pancake, or japchae. Wonderfully authentic flavor that I have yet to see anywhere else in Montreal.
Fantastic authentically made food !!! Portions are big & prices are very very good as well ! That's is the left overs because the portions were huge !!
We've been craving for korean food & looking for an authentic one. Feel like this place made really great korean food. First thing first, the best fried chicken that i've tried in this city (so far) i mean the sauce tastes flavorful. We ordered tteok-bokki woth cheeses.. amazing. The texture is so great..soft & chewy, eating with the sauce.. yummm The cold noodles is really refreshing..the wheat noodles is so chewy. Good price. Parking available on the side if the street Will definitely come back to try more.
A great find in the NDG area. It's a good restaurant with a nice variety of affordable dishes. The place is a little bit small, but it feels very authentic. Updated: It's been newly renovated with a brand new menu. It's well decorated.
Mukja offers an authentic taste of Korea with its diverse menu & flavorful dishes. From classic bibimbap to savory bulgogi, each dish is meticulously prepared with fresh ingredients. The ambiance is inviting, & the service is attentive, making it a delightful dining experience for those craving Korean cuisine.The price is also very reasonable! A must try in NDG !

It is small & cosy restaurant. The price really good for 2 persons. The staff is friendly. The food is amazing. If you are looking for authentic Korean food this is the spot. Also you dont like tolerate spicy be aware because some dishes are spicy
This Place is Great!! It's affordable, tasty & the staff are very friendly. It's a great place to try authentic Korean food for half the price from other restaurants, they're matcha bubble tea is soo good 👌🏻. The portions are huge & you get what you asked for & more. I also love how the side dishes are refillable (no fees) & that the staff always check up on you to see if you need anything else. I recommend to anyone wanting to get delicious food at a great price 11/10!! ☺️
Great authentic Korean food, great value for money! Had tteokochi, naejangtang (intestine soup, rly hard to find elsewhere in mtl) & kimchi stew, all really good.
The kimchi stew is decently sour, my wife likes sour soups like tom yum etc & she loved it.
Also seems they renovated & feels more resto vibes now. friendly staff!
