Petit restaurant agréable. La nourriture est incroyable, c'est juste dommage que les menus ne soit pas mis à jour en ligne. C'est plus cher …
La petite bulle de verre est belle, & la décoration est simple.
On a très bien été servis, j'aurais juste besoin de préciser que la propreté est moyenne. Les coins de fenêtres était pleins de poussière, de cires, les bouteilles d'eau sont réutilisée & pas très bien lavée ; jai trouvé une araignée dans la boîte à emporter qu'on m'a donnée pour les restes. & le sol des toilettes colle.

I honestly don't usually leave reviews unless the experience is exceptional so here I am! 10/10 from the food to the service

the bibimbap was disappointing, the rice wasn't crispy at all as the dish wasn't served in a stone bowl. also, the beef could've been less bland when it came to texture. last thing the portions were a little smaller than expected, but that wasn't the issue.

Très bon tteokbokki.
Si vous aimez les fruits de mer. Essayez les tteokbokki ou udon rosés.
Excellent rapport qualité prix.

Had takeout from this Korean restaurant, very satisfied. Friendly staff that always put up a smile.
I have went here before to have their beef tartare & bibimbap. Stunning as always.
Make sure to reserve or come earlier during weekends as the place can be packed.
I wish you could brought back the ayce bbq, it was one of the best ayce in montreal. Sadly cancelled after covid.

Food
The Kim Chi was really good & a generous serving. 2 types on the plate & well enjoyed.
Bibimbap was ok.
Cocktails were yhe low point. Glasses are way too big so the drinks are too diluted. Just a bland drink. Also, i dont want a litre of soda in my cocktail. Didnt drink it.
Service.
Very friendly, but cocktails took close to 20 minutes to be served & were then really bad.
Other than raking order & serving meal never came to check on us.
Overall just ok.

A cozy family-style Korean restaurant. The bibimbap here is very authentic & tasty, according to both me & my friend who has lived in Korea for 2 years. & the price is reasonable.

Best Okonomiyaki I've ever had. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

Soondubu is flavorful- salty & spicy. Tteokbokki was chewy & slightly sweet & spicy. Good food!

if you're planning to come around 5:30pm-7pm on the weekends, make sure to have a reservation or you can join the online queue & they will text you when your table is ready, it gets really busy-for good reason!
The soondubu jjigae is so flavourful,

Assiette de pépites de poulet croustillants & tendres à la fois. Un vrai délice, accompagnées de soju fraise & galettes de riz. Les soju aromatisés ne goûtent aucunement l'alcool - belle découverte! Il faut réserver si vous souhaitez avoir une table entre 17h & 19h car l'endroit est petit. Service attentionné.

Certainly! Here's a 3-star review for a Korean restaurant:
---
**Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)**
We recently visited twice Sam Chaand had an overall just ok experience. First time we came on Friday around 7:15 pm & was seated at 8:30 pm. We did not have a reservation. So, number One: make sure you book it. Second: the waiter forgot to bring a dish to us, but they charged us. So: always make sure you paid for what you got.
Next visit we planned & made a reservation at 5 pm (they open at 5 pm). So, it was empty. The waiters were obviously bored as well as the kitchen stuff.
The atmosphere was awful: too loud that we were not able to hear each other. So, be prepared to eat with no communication.
The staff were overwhelmed (on Friday). The menu had a good variety of traditional Korean dishes, & the portions were ok is size.
However, while the flavors were not bad, I felt the food lacked that authentic depth I was hoping for: the bulgogi were chewy, the sea food pancake was overcooked around & undercooked.
Prices were reasonable, but not quite a standout for the quality of food.
Overall, it was an okay experience - not bad, but not amazing either. If I'd consider coming back that would sweet & spicy chicken &, maybe, bulgogi.
