Sam Cha draws praise for bold Korean flavors with standout dishes like spicy pork udon, beef galbi and spicy jokbal, along with favorites such as bibimbap, tteokbokki and fried chicken, all offered at affordable prices. The reviews note a lively atmosphere and friendly service, though the place is small and often crowded, with limited ventilation and occasional variability in service. Some bites such as seafood pancake or certain curries can be less consistent, but overall Sam Cha is a reliable option for a flavorful Korean meal and good value, even on off days.
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.
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.

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.
