Great food, great service, cute store. After many tries, this is the 1st Korean place in Montréal that i feel they truly have the Korean ambiance.

Great service & presentation, but the atmosphere felt boring - like a cafeteria with no real design or decor. The food was also very bland.

We were looking for authentic Korean food & were supposed to go to Dawa, but they were closed. Dawa has the best Korean chicken resto in my opinion, not just because of the chicken but also the amazing side dishes & overall experience.

So we tried Mukja for the first time, & unfortunately it will also be the last. It feels like they adopted an Americanized version of Korean food that is flavorless & soulless. It was a very disappointing experience & honestly felt like the complete opposite of the resto next door.

Mukja has decent menu options, but the food is really bad if you're looking for authentic Korean flavors. I've been to many Korean restos in Montreal like Sam Cha, Matjip, Jako, & even Mon Ami, & they range from good to great. Mukja is by far the worst Korean resto experience I've had. We didn't even finish half of our food & still paid around $50.

I'm sorry for the bad review, but I genuinely don't recommend this place unless they make dramatic changes to their food.

Mukja used to be our favorite family-run restaurant, known for serving authentic Korean dishes that are hard to find at other Korean restaurants in Montreal. Sadly, after returning today, we were very disappointed.

The menu has changed significantly, but we decided to give it a try anyway-& regretted it. The soybean beef soup was bland, tasting like nothing more than water & soybean paste, with none of the rich flavor you would expect from a proper beef broth.

The seafood pancake was even worse. It was badly overcooked, the batter was far too thick, & it looked more like a pizza than a Korean pancake. To make matters worse, the middle of the pancake was burned, & it seemed like it was intentionally hidden under the soy sauce bowl. We only discovered it when we lifted the bowl.

When we brought this to the staff's attention, there was no apology or concern shown. We ended up leaving without finishing our food, yet still paid full price.

We were told the chef changed in February 2026, & unfortunately, the quality & authenticity of the food seem to have changed as well. It's really sad to see what was once our favorite restaurant lose what made it special. Sadly, we will not be coming back :(

A lovely family-owned spot in ndg for comforting Korean food. Everything is served hot, fresh, & full of flavour that gives you that homemade feel. The space is quite small, so it can get pretty busy & hectic at times, but the food makes it worth it! Come early to avoid waiting.

Absolutely delicious Korean restaurant. Everything we ordered was fresh, tasty, well presented & came quickly. The workers are very friendly, kind & attentive. It's our second time coming here, but definitely not the last.

Everything in the pictures was about 75$ (tax & tip included) & we have leftovers!

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
