Mukja est souvent présenté comme une adresse coréenne authentique avec des portions généreuses et des prix raisonnables, où l'addition est souvent considérée comme une bonne affaire et où de multiples plats sont accompagnés de banchan gratuits et de refills possibles. Le menu propose une diversité de plats coréens traditionnels tels que tangsuyuk, tteokbokki, naengmyeon, pajeon, bibimbap et pancakes de fruits de mer, le tout préparé avec des saveurs riches et une présentation soignée. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et décontractée, adaptée à des sorties entre amis ou en couple, et les portions sont souvent décrites comme grandes et parfaites pour partager. Le service est généralement rapide et sympathique, même lorsque le restaurant est fréquenté. Cependant, certaines expériences mettent en lumière des incohérences: des soupes trop salées, des plats huileux ou des tangsuyuk pas toujours aussi croustillants que d'habitude, et parfois des augmentations de prix après la réouverture. Dans l'ensemble, Mukja est perçu comme une adresse à tester pour ses saveurs coréennes authentiques et ses bons rapports qualité-prix.
Kalbitang was so good which made me think about those old days I lived in Korea.
Jampong was terible, blank, seafoods were not fresh at all.
Fried chicken was soo good . I loved banchans more 🤤
Waters was not so friendly, never smiled when brought out foods to my table.
GOMTANG!!! Whoever preps the gomtang here is the real MVP. Get it, enjoy it, savour it. It is sooooooo good. So glad we have this restaurant in Montreal. The banchans are always good as well & they rotate the selection it seems. Love it. Can't recommend enough.
Amazing food, everything was honestly delicious. It was our 3rd time & we thought everything tasted even better than the first 2 times. The menu concept has changed for the better as you get a soup, sides & a dessert with the main dish you order. The service & staff was very helpful & friendly! 10/10
I've visited this restaurant several times & have always enjoyed it, but our most recent visit was an absolute disaster. The service was amateur, unprofessional, & completely chaotic, easily the worst we've ever experienced anywhere-& it was painful to watch.
It took almost 20 minutes before we had to chase someone down to take our order, & people who arrived after us were served first. We had to flag down a waiter just to place an order, as if we were begging for attention.
We ordered a full meal with soup, banchans, main dish, & dessert. After 30 more agonizing minutes, we had to specifically ask for our soup because no one even planned to serve it.
Throughout the meal, we had to constantly chase our waiter for everything-water, condiments, clearing dishes. Staff walked past tables piled with empty plates as if they didn't exist. It was humiliating.
When dessert finally arrived, it was dropped on top of our dirty dishes because no one had cleared the table (even though when we were asked if we were ready for dessert the waiter walked away with empty hands leaving the dishes there & bringing the dessert instead....so weird)
Orders are scribbled on blue sticky notes in total chaos, with zero system, zero coordination, & zero professionalism.
Even with a full house, they were still taking delivery orders, leaving staff running around like chickens with their heads cut off, accomplishing nothing. They also looked extremely frazzled & miserable - arguably so.
Everyone at this restaurant waiting 45-60 minutes for their food. Everyone kept looking at each other confused at the chaotic setting. Every table seemed frustrated-some nearly left, others were waving their hands like schoolchildren begging for attention. It was beyond embarrassing; it was a masterclass in bad service.
There was no structure, no professionalism, & no basic customer care. Not once did a server check if we were okay or needed anything-they were in constant motion but achieving nothing.
Suggestions for improvement:
Service: Implement a real system. Assign one person to takeout, two people for tables. Take orders immediately, serve soups & banchans first, clear dishes without being asked, & check on guests proactively. This is basic restaurant management, not optional.
Décor: Comfortable seating, softer lighting, & some wall decorations would go a long way. The current bare, harsh environment only makes the chaos feel worse.
The food may still be good, but no one will remember the food with service this atrocious. As it stands, this place is headed for disaster if changes aren't made immediately. I love this restaurant & plan to return in a month to see if anything improves-hopefully this review can turn into a positive one. But right now, this experience was painful, humiliating, & completely unacceptable.
Mukja has always been my go-to spot, & after the renovation it's even better. Everything was absolutely delicious especially' jjukkumi bokkeum' is hands down the best dish on the menu. So flavorful, perfectly cooked, & absolutely addictive. So glad they're back!

For the price it's worth, it's delicious & fulfilling! Good price. Portions are quite generous, staff is super friendly, & service was nice & fast (exceot when its packed). Taste wise, flavourful. They change the dessert everyday, which is good if you want to try their dessert menu. If you like sweet & spicy gojuchang together, then this spot is for you. I would recommend for sure the fried tofu & fried sweet potatoes. I'd recommend coming here with friends or on a date! Super cute ambience.
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
