Restaurant Mukja

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!

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.

Update 14-Sep-2024 Everything was delicious as per usual. We tried different dishes this time which were the kkanpoongi (sweet & sour fried chicken) & the jaenbang naengmyeon (cold noodle with wasabi-based sauce). The kkanpoongi was so tasty, crispy & the chicken was juicy! The cold noodle dish was so refreshing & I liked the wasabi sauce. It was big enough to feed at minimum 2 people. Will be coming back & ordering these two dishes along with the tangsuyuk & hot stone bibimbap. _____ Update 06-Jul-2024: Service was amazing! Our waiter was so kind & food came out quick. Size large tangsuyuk is HUGE! Bibim naengmyun, tangsuyuk & dolsot bibimbap were my faves. ------- Found this resto through TikTok & saw that they had just recently renovated from more of a counter spot to a dine in resto. The food was sooooo delicious. We got the special of the week which included a jajangmyeon & tangsuyuk for 19.99!!!! Definitely a bang for your buck. We also ordered the webfoot octopus which was perfectly balanced & not too spicy. Everything tasted amazing, the portions were generous & the value for the food here is unmatched. Will definitely be back!!

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.

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.

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...

One of the best fried chicken ever 🤤. Also, the staff is so friendly & kind to us. After all the inflation increasing the food prices in my favourite food spots, this place has still reasonable prices! This will definitely be one of my new go-to.

They do soups so well here. I have been searching for a hearty Korean beef soup in Montreal for so long & I finally found it here. The side dishes are fresh & offer a contrast of acid, spice, & texture to the richness of the soups. I also had the fried chicken gizzard, fried nicely & the crunch remains even after a night in the fridge. Service is quick & thoughtful!

Very friendly staff & great food. Service was fast. Almost too fast but we also came when it was pretty quiet. We had teokbokki, black bean noodles & stir fried beef intestine. The teokbokki was pure fire so fair warning to those expecting a more sweet & spicy style & the cheese did nothing to temper the heat.

I must have had an off day because I didn't love what I got (soft tofu stew, house special combo). The fried stuff seems like the thing to get. Super friendly & fast service
