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.
For the price it's worth, it's delicious & fulfilling! Good price. Portions are quite generous, staff is super friendly, & service was nice & fast (exceot when its packed). Taste wise, flavourful. They change the dessert everyday, which is good if you want to try their dessert menu. If you like sweet & spicy gojuchang together, then this spot is for you. I would recommend for sure the fried tofu & fried sweet potatoes. I'd recommend coming here with friends or on a date! Super cute ambience.
Pretty good korean restaurants. Menu has options that are pretty typical from a korean restaurants, rice dishes, soups, noodles. They are very generous with their side dishes. Highly recommend. Price seems to have increase a bit after their reopening however. Sadly not the most affordable korean restraurant that I've tried
Overall terrible restaurant. Heard a lot of great things about this place so we went & tried it out. First of all it took the two waitresses around 5 minutes to seat us. After being seated we ordered the Jaeyuk & the Gamjatang. We received the Jaeyuk first, without any rice & the waitress told us the rice would be out in a minute (how am I supposed to eat?). We also needed to ask for the side dishes as the waitress forgot them… Then the soup followed (still no rice). When we finally tried the food we were extremely dissatisfied. The Jaeyuk is some random pork pieces bathing in oil & is straight up sugar. The gamjatang was ok but our meat was cold (inside the soup !!!), when we told our waitress she took our soup back to the kitchen & came back with it after reheating it (mind you we took the meat out to eat it, so we were left with boiling broth but still cold meat ?), also there was 1 singular potato in there. Side dishes were mid nothing incredible.
We left without finishing the food & when we paid we still paid full price, no compensation or anything to try to make it up to us (what usually happens when something is wrong with the food in a restaurant).
Anyways, I would not recommend the restaurant at all, terrible korean food & service. (i also checked the other customers & no one finished their dish)
I really love Mukja. It's such a cute & simple spot but really hits home with the flavours & meals. I love that you can get Makgeolli here, & their tteokbokki is to die for. I really love their baby octopus as well. I really recommend going here & trying. a bit of everything. The prices are SO affordable compared to most places, & this keeps us coming back even though we live an 1hr away. Keep up the fantastic work!

This Is my favorite Korean restaurant of the Whole city!! I've been there 4-5 times & it neveeeeer disappoints, I always have the best experience. The prices are so cheap & we get a lot of food! The staff is also really nice!! Thank uuuuu
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 !!
Came here on a Wednesday night & the restaurant was pretty busy! The food was good & the prices were really affordable! I would come back here for a casual meal, the restaurant has a comfortable & homey feel!
The food is amazing & they have a great variety of Korean staple dishes that are less common at other restaurants. Service is always friendly & efficient. Atmosphere is casual & chill. Prices are great value for the amount & quality that you get. There are also free sides that come with your meal. Recommended if you are near the area!
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.
The portion is very generous for our price! I was extremely full after my meal & half the appetizer! I strongly recommend the fried chicken gizzard, so crunchy & flavorful! Mukja definitely became one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Montreal!
