Pretty disappointed. I ordered the fried chicken bibimbap, the fried chicken & kimchi was very good but the rest of the dish was very bland, the egg yolk was fully cooked & my food was cold. My boyfriend's fried chicken was good but extremely salty & my sister in law's tofu was still frozen when she got it. The udon curry plate was delicious though! The staff is also very friendly & restaurant has a nice ambiance!

King of Bibimbap! My wife really enjoys their "kimchi poutine". We also tried the table side Korean bbq. Which was awesome. Prices are very fair. Service can be a little bad especially once the place fills up... & it fills up fast! My suggestion to guarantee a spot, arrive 10 minutes before opening time & wait outside. If your more than 10 minutes lates, theres a possibility that you wait outside for the better part of an hour. Fair warning it's a little cramped inside. But the food makes up for it.

One of my favourite spots in Montreal. The fried chicken is great, & the kimchi topped fries are addictive. Make a reservation in advance, or prepare to be waitlisted.

If you like beef tartare, get it here. Kimchi fries are nice, as well as the kimchi jjigae. Two man 짭짭 one man die 「I don't no」

The food was amazing. As someone who knows the very different tastes of kimchi, the homemade one was delicious. The food was perfectly seasoned, especially the beef tartare that was out of this world. I had the chance to meet the amazing owners. Definitely going to comeback soon

Small hidden place that specializes in Korean food. Definitely recommend the beef tartare along with the udon & kimchi fried rice. Fairly priced & tasted great. Reservations recommended.

I am Korean. The serving part-timers here were very friendly. I ordered kimchi stew & pig's feet, which tasted a little different, but it was okay. But when I ordered extra rice, they gave me aged rice under freshly cooked rice. This is the owner's fault. It needs to be fixed.
