I ordered a chicken bibimbap but it was kinda bland so I had to ask for salt. My friend had the pork kimchi fried rice which was very good. The service was okay, the place is rather busy but it took quite a while to get a waiter's attention to get salt & a to-go box since they don't pass by the tables to ask how everything is/if we need anything. Overall nice restaurant.

I absolutely love Samcha! The staff is always so sweet, & the food is delicious & definitely worth the price, not too expensive, not too cheap, just right for the quality you get. Everything is full of flavor & feels like a homemade meal.
I always get the bibimbap with bulgogi as the protein & kimchi on the side, & it always hits the spot! The kimchi is amazing, & the portions are good. I keep coming back to this place & always recommend it to anyone who loves Korean food!

The cheesy chicken was great, meanwhile the Bibimbap was okay, no seasoning in the food but the sauce was helping with the lack of flavour. Kinda difficult to talk there, space is tight. Reservations required/recommended.

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.

I'm genuinely disappointed writing this review.

I first visited this restaurant about 2-3 years ago & was honestly impressed. The food quality back then really stood out, & I've thought about returning ever since. Unfortunately, my recent visit last week was a complete letdown, & I'm struggling to understand what changed; whether it's new management, a new chef, or a shift in standards.

We went intending to indulge & ordered several dishes: Korean seafood pancake, pork soup with rice & potatoes, beef bibimbap, & kimbap. Sadly, every single dish was below average.

The pork soup was especially disappointing. The potatoes tasted like they had been frozen & reheated - something that completely ruins both texture & flavor. The broth itself lacked depth & warmth; it tasted flat, as if it had been sitting on the stove & rushed out rather than being properly prepared. In winter especially, you expect a soup to be comforting & rich - this was neither.

The bibimbap, kimbap, & pancake were also underwhelming & poorly executed. Bibimbap lacked flavor, the pancake was tasteless & undercooked.

I even brought leftovers home hoping they might be salvageable, but ultimately ended up throwing everything out that night or the next day - which says a lot.

This experience was shocking. Something clearly needs to be addressed in the kitchen, because at this level of quality, it's hard to see how this restaurant can maintain its reputation.

I truly hope they take this feedback seriously & improve, because what I experienced this time was far below what I remembered - & far below what customers should expect.

Please do better.

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.
