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.
This is the most delicious korean!! It's really good. I am putting this review while eating the left over from the restaurant because i could not finish it (i ordered too much for 2 people) but the food, even the next day. It is still good!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️❤️

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.
J'ai habité en Corée du sud pendant 4 mois & je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir trouvé ce restaurant à Montréal!! Des goûts authentiques de plats coréens, & des prix raisonnables. Quel joie, merci pour ce restaurant !!! ❤️
I recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The staff is friendly. The food is great. I wanted to get acquainted with Korean cuisine & it pleasantly surprised me. In cold weather, you can go here to warm up & eat hot soup. I will definitely come back here again.
Delicious Korean cuisine! They have a lot different opinions to try. I had the yeonpotang (octopus soup) & it was delicious. I definitely want to try more dishes. The kimchi pancake was good too but it was huge, I could not finish it! Amazing service & cozy atmosphere. Limited seats though!
Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone :) We ordered the octopus soup & kimchi pancake. The pancake was a bit sweet but not spicy at all - & omg it was a huge portion. So I'd recommend to share it. The soup surprisingly was amazing. It was my first time trying this kind in a Korea restaurant. I thought it might be fishy/strong taste but it turned out so good. The taste was mild & slightly sweet. Overall, everything was fantastic:)
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!
this is my second time to Mukja. we had to go back because surprisingly their food is great, coming from a korean person. usually my husband is picky with korean food since he is from Korea but he keeps telling me to go back because he craves certain dishes that we cannot find in other korean restaurants in Montreal. Obviously we haven't tasted everything on their menu ( they have quite a huge range of dishes + side dishes are delicious). Also their prices are reasonable. We are willing to go back whenever we can. Driving all the way from The west island is quite worth it. not to mention the waiters are efficient & polite to their customers. thank you for the nice bulgogi & spicy pork dishes!
Overall the food & price was great. For improvements: The Fried seafood & vegetable pancake was over-fried & it was rock-hard. Another complaint was the amount of spider web on beams & the chair has no cushioning or padding.
Very good service! The meal came fast. The waiters are so polite & kind. It's our third time there & we will go again. The food is de-li-cious. Many vegetables, beautiful sauces, well presented. We love the ambiance: it's calm even if there's many clients. The music is just at the right level. The lights are dimmed. Definitely an excellent choice!
