Bit noisy with the open kitchen, but the creamy chicken was THE best i ever tasted.

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.

Some of the best fried chicken I have had in Montreal, very reasonable prices, & a fun ambiance.

The cheesy chicken was great, meanwhile the Bibimbap was okay, no seasoning in the food but the sauce was helping with the lack of flavour. Kinda difficult to talk there, space is tight. Reservations required/recommended.

Serving was quick. Tteokbokki regular spice has a real nice kick. I really enjoyed it. Soy garlic fried chicken could be crispier but nice flavor profile. Love the warm ambiance.

Hands down the best galbi & udon I've had in the city. It is a go to for me when I am craving Korean. The spicy pork udon is perfect. It is chewy, spicy, saucy, & filled with flavour. The beef galbi might be the best I've ever had as well. Would recommend this place on a heartbeat. We also tried the seafood pancake & the fried chicken. They were good but not on the level of the other two dishes. The main downside is that the place is tiny. It is hard to get a table without a reservation. & after eating there expect to smell like Korean food, it is so small & there is no ventilation. It is a minor inconvenience but totally worth it.

They have really yummy chicken katsu curry with rice.. & a really good bibimbap. Service wasn't the fastest, but overall it's a good option for a quick meal.

Food price is ok. Portions are mid, not too impressed. Location is nice & vibe inside is cozy. Service is ok. Waited a while before getting water. Images are katsu chicken curry (18$) (very salty & not enough rice in my opinion) & rose tteok (14$)

Unluckily waited 30mins since the waiter misheard.
