About

Sam cha provides a specialized Korean barbecue experience centered on interactive tabletop grilling. Patrons select from a curated variety of marinated meats and fresh vegetables prepared directly at the table for optimal flavor profile control. The menu emphasizes traditional culinary techniques featuring essential staples such as kimchi, soybean paste stews, and seasoned side dishes that accompany the primary protein options.

This establishment maintains a robust focus on authentic seasoning profiles and high quality ingredients, ensuring that the preparation techniques remain consistent with regional Korean standards for grill house cuisine.

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.

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.
