C'est bon mais les portions sont petites je trouve par rapport à d'autres restaurant coréen que j'ai fais à Montréal

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.

Super nice place! The food was good in general, especially for the price. The tteokbokki only tasted like black pepper though, but that was really the only down side!

Lieu très convivial & accueillant. Parfait pour une sortie entre amis pour découvrir la cuisine coréenne. Le service est très chaleureux.

I had the seafood pancake & the bulgogi bibimbap, personally, the food was more on the bland size. Portion was generous though👍🏻 There won't be a next time but it was not that negative for an experience.🙂

Delicioua & affordable korean restaurants. Even after so many years, they continue to provide one of the best & most flavorful soon dubu jigae in town.

The only downside is that you smell like food after since the kitchen is right next to the dining space & there's korean BBQ on tables without a proper vent on top.

Are you kidding me Samcha took such a dip in quality after revamping their menu. Their menu is now a basic korean menu just like every other korean restaurant in montreal. You would think it's at least good even if they revamped it but no the quality has gone down as well. I asked for extra kimchi & that was some of the worst kimchi I ate. It was bland & tasted frozen. Bring back the bbq!!

The food is simply amazing! I had the curry fried chicken plate, & let me tell you the flavours just blend together so well. The dumplings are also tasty appetizers

Friendly staff & the food came surprisingly fast (20 min) for a saturday night in my experience
