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.
It was ok but just a bit meh. Nothing we ordered was outstanding & the deep fried chicken & pork was super chewy & not great. Porc bone soup & spicy tofu soup are better at most other places.
I have been here a couple of times during the last year or so & me & my girlfriend absolutely love this place! The food is incredibly good & always has a delicious explosion of flavour. Everything I have gotten is scrumptious & the best part is that they give it in a very generous quantity (at least what I bought) while being extremely affordable. They also give free sides ( me & my girlfriend got 4 free sides meaning for two people). The service is top & I will always keep coming back here! Really a place not to skip.

I've been here many times with my boyfriend over the past year, we both love it. The food is sooo good with a very affordable price. I always get the beef bibimbap & it never disappoints me. Very nice service too! Mukja is our comfort place :)
Definitively my favorite Korean place ever! Imo great quantity to price ratio but even better quality, every dish is delectable & clearly homemade, the place is consistently changing to provide even better service! 💖 I love all the vegetarian options especially in the side dishes! So many meals I've never seen or heard of, so I'll definitely need to pass by again. Thanks Daniel for being so attentive & serving us well! Keep up the good work!!! 🫶✨
Updated: I have to say that I preferred when they were a counter service. The prices are still reasonable, but portions have shrunk considerably. The ingredients in the bibimbap was disappointing. I have yet to try their tripe & seafood dishes. Unpretentious & stellar Korean street food: Kogos, fried battered chicken & tofu in sweet spicy sauce, battered vegetables, stews & noodles. Prices are below market rate (the container of freshly fried tofu was $4.99). I'll definitely be back soon to try their spicy fish dishes.
This place is a new gem I've discovered in my area. The service is fast & the food is delicious & inexpensive. I have been here twice & they never cease to amaze me. I am bringing my parents & other friends in the future. The portions are big & you can definitely eat for about 20$ per person with leftovers to spare. Highly recommend trying it out!
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 !
Atmosphere is not really enjoyable, simple place. A lot of food options, not that much options for vegetarians. The food was average but the prices are really good. I have ordered a tteokbokki & fish & seafood stew. Ttekbokki was really delicious. Fish stew I didn't like it to much but it was my mistake it come with big pieces wish bones the broth was lacking flavour & seafood was really chewy. The service was really nice & friendly. Thank you.
Dont know if we went on bad day but the fried chicken & tangsuyu were so chewy, we couldn't eat it. Jjajang was tasteless... Sundae was good. This just confirm that on general, quality of food of restaurant is not worth the money anymore...
