I had a peaceful lunch here alone. The portions are exceptional. The cocktail was strong & I won't complain! I will come back here with friends:)

My favorite Korean place in Montreal :)

Some of my favorites are the seafood tofu soup, sweet chickie (great with the beer combo), seafood pancake, mushroom tempura, & kimbap, but it's hard to choose! Everything is delicious 😋 lots of drink options & they serve water at your table in little water bottles (very nostalgic)!

Atmosphere is really cozy & warm, with kind servers that give you space but ate attentive of you need them. Menu is on a QR code so you always have access.

There can be a slight wait during dinner time so reservation is recommended if you don't want to wait, but I've never had to wait more than 30 minutes for a group of 2.

I ordered a chicken bibimbap but it was kinda bland so I had to ask for salt. My friend had the pork kimchi fried rice which was very good. The service was okay, the place is rather busy but it took quite a while to get a waiter's attention to get salt & a to-go box since they don't pass by the tables to ask how everything is/if we need anything. Overall nice restaurant.

Curry katchu was burnt & salty. The taste was bitter because of they over fried. The worst katchu ever.

We ordered the beef tartare, kimchi fries, & beef ribs. Beef tartare & kimchi fries are must order, beef ribs were good too to finish off on as a main.

Server with the lip piercing was really kind, apologized, & compensated us for our waiting times.
