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. Each meal centers on the tactile process of searing slices of beef and pork over charcoal or gas flames to achieve a distinctively charred texture. The interior layout prioritizes functional efficiency to accommodate social groups focused on communal cooking. 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.

Sam Cha is widely regarded as a standout destination for authentic and flavorful Korean cuisine in Montreal, consistently earning praise for its delicious dishes such as the creamy fried chicken, kimchi fries, spicy udon, and beef tartar. Many patrons appreciate the cozy, vibrant atmosphere and the quality of the food, which often feels homemade and reasonably priced.

The spicy jokbal is definitely the best in Montreal. Tender meat with soft & meting fat in the sticky sweet spicy sauce. It's quite spicy but the sweetness & lettuce balanced it well. The portion is good for two people too. Overall highly recommend.

Edit: ordered again 2 days later & it's extremely salty, even the flavour is different…..

Excellente soirée au Sam Cha samedi passé! Ce restaurant nous a été recommandé pour ses saveurs, & nous n'avons pas été déçus. Chaque plat que nous avons commandé était vraiment excellent. Le service était aussi très bien.

Si vous cherchez des plats savoureux coréens , nous recommandons sans hésiter !!

Restaurant vraiment très qualitatif.

Le personnel est à l'écoute & serviable malgré le rush qui peut subvenir. L'anglais est obligatoire.
La nourriture est vraiment bonne, les portions sont bien généreuses & copieuses ( venir le ventre vide ). Les plats sont épicés comme à la coréenne, faire bien attention aux notifications sur menus.

Cadre charmant, personnel qualifié & nourriture excellente, une vraie pépite.

The quality of food has dropped a lot. We ordered pork bone soup, the meat was even cold (it was fully cooked but not heated) though the soup was hot, & the meat was really really really hard to chew. The yaki udon was very salty. Sam Galbi & Okonomiyaki were okay but not amazing.

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.

A great Korean restaurant located on Sainte-Catherine Street near the Forum. The food is excellent, although I haven't had the chance to try their kimbap yet. I've been there about five times over the past ten years, & it has consistently been good. The prices are very reasonable considering the location, especially compared to other nearby restaurants. The only downside, in my opinion, is that it's often packed with long lineups. When the restaurant is full, the tables are quite close to each other, so you can hear nearby conversations & the atmosphere can get pretty loud. That said, it felt amazing the one time I went early on a random quiet weekday during the summer, when most students were on vacation. The experience was much more relaxed & enjoyable.
