Mukja is widely praised for authentic Korean flavors, generous portions and good value, with frequent mentions of favorites like tangsuyuk, gomtang, tteokbokki and banchan, and a menu that includes soups, mains and dessert. The atmosphere is described as cozy and friendly, with attentive service and lots of free side dishes, making it a reliable spot for meals with friends or on a date. The kitchen is noted for freshness and depth of flavor, and many reviewers appreciate the affordable prices and large portions. A few visits mention occasional issues such as a soup that can be overly salty or a tangsuyuk that was not as crispy on one occasion, and service not always warm, along with some price increases after reopening. Overall Mukja is seen as a standout Korean option in Montreal, consistently delivering tasty food, quick service and a welcoming vibe.
I think I have a new favourite restaurant. This place was so good. Service was quick, the person who took our order was so nice, the food came super fast, & it all tasted super fresh & delicious. I also really appreciate that they leave a whole jug of water on the table for you. Their prices might be unbeatable for Korean food in Montreal, especially considering the large portion sizes. We didn't expect to get banchan included with the meal at these prices but we were pleasantly surprised. The soju (flavoured soju too!) is also cheaper than other places I've seen, keep in mind though that you can't get it to go. We kept our orders pretty basic due to not having the biggest appetites at the time, but all of what we got was delicious. I'm especially looking forward to coming here in the winter for some of their soups. The tonkatsu was crispy & juicy, the rice was perfect, & all the sauces were great. I appreciate that it wasn't super heavy on the sauce (there are two layers of pork in the photo, so it's an appropriate amount of sauce). The jjajangmyeon was "very delicious, the noodles were so good" according to my partner. He thought the sauce was a thinner than what would be expected for this dish but that's more a comment, not a complaint by any means. Overall I highly recommend this place.
I went to the restaurant after seeing good reviews about it. As soon as I got there, the guy that greeted us was very polite & friendly. We got seated quickly & served water as soon as we sat down, which was very appreciated. The same guy came by our table & I asked if he had any recommendations on the menu. The food came so fast & was so delicious. You could tell that love & care was put into making the food. Definitely an excellent choice for a nice traditional Korean cuisine. I really enjoyed my meal, for sure a go again! Je suis allé au restaurant après avoir vu de bonnes critiques à son sujet. Dès que j'y suis arrivé, le gars qui nous a accueillis était très poli & amical. Nous nous sommes assis rapidement & on s'est fait servi de l'eau dès que nous nous sommes assis, ce qui a été très apprécié. Le même gars est venu à notre table & j'ai demandé s'il avait des recommandations sur le menu. La nourriture est arrivée si vite & était si délicieuse. On pouvait dire que de l'amour étaient mis dans la préparation de la nourriture. Certainement un excellent choix pour une bonne cuisine traditionnelle coréenne. J'ai vraiment apprécié mon repas, c'est sûr que j'y retournerai !
Food is bomb, huge portion (especially the japchaes, joogopsoon, & pancakes) for a reasonable price, excellent service. They also have so many korean alcohols & beverages that are hard to find in most other korean restaurants in mtl. They also got bubble tea as well. Definitely recommend their bunsik combo, dakgangjung, bibimbap, tangsuyook, & seafood pancakes. Kids especially love the korean corndogs. They also have exotic foods like soondae, monkfish stew, black goat stew, chicken gizzard & so much more so if you want to try real korean food, this is a place to go.
This place is a new gem I've discovered in my area. The service is fast & the food is delicious & inexpensive. I have been here twice & they never cease to amaze me. I am bringing my parents & other friends in the future. The portions are big & you can definitely eat for about 20$ per person with leftovers to spare. Highly recommend trying it out!
The food is amazing! Very affordable & the portions are big! The staff is so friendly & nice! The service is very quick! I 100% recommend that place. Everything was so good!!
