Sam Cha reçoit des retours positifs pour ses saveurs coréennes bien marquées, avec des plats phares comme l'udon au porc épicé, le galbi et le jokbal épicé, ainsi que des favoris tels que le bibimbap, le tteokbokki et le poulet frit, le tout à des prix abordables. Les avis soulignent aussi une bonne ambiance et un service chaleureux, bien que l'établissement soit petit et souvent bondé, avec une ventilation limitée et une certaine variabilité du service. Certaines bouchées comme les pancakes de fruits de mer ou certains plats peuvent être moins convaincantes et quelques visites ont été plus salées ou moins abouties, mais dans l'ensemble Sam Cha demeure une option fiable avec un excellent rapport qualité prix pour un repas coréen vivant et savoureux.
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.

Serving was quick. Tteokbokki regular spice has a real nice kick. I really enjoyed it. Soy garlic fried chicken could be crispier but nice flavor profile. Love the warm ambiance.
Hands down the best galbi & udon I've had in the city. It is a go to for me when I am craving Korean. The spicy pork udon is perfect. It is chewy, spicy, saucy, & filled with flavour. The beef galbi might be the best I've ever had as well. Would recommend this place on a heartbeat. We also tried the seafood pancake & the fried chicken. They were good but not on the level of the other two dishes. The main downside is that the place is tiny. It is hard to get a table without a reservation. & after eating there expect to smell like Korean food, it is so small & there is no ventilation. It is a minor inconvenience but totally worth it.
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.
Food price is ok. Portions are mid, not too impressed. Location is nice & vibe inside is cozy. Service is ok. Waited a while before getting water. Images are katsu chicken curry (18$) (very salty & not enough rice in my opinion) & rose tteok (14$)

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.

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
Sam Cha is a cozy & inviting spot that offers an incredible dining experience. The picnic-style tables & warm atmosphere make it feel like a home away from home. The food is absolutely delicious-each dish is fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. I tried their ramen with crispy chicken, & it was exceptional! The broth was rich & comforting, & the chicken added the perfect crunch. Their variety of dishes ensures there's something for everyone, & it's a great place to enjoy with friends or family over a round of soju. Highly recommend Sam Cha for anyone looking for authentic Korean flavors & a friendly, laid-back vibe.
Went during a friday at lunch, the place wasn't too packed but the atmosphere was great! The creme onion fried chicken was amazing. The batter is light & crispy, & the chicken was very juicy. The rose udon is quite sweet, but still very good. The bibimbap was good as well. The portions are very big & filling, definitely worth it for the price.
Pretty disappointed. I ordered the fried chicken bibimbap, the fried chicken & kimchi was very good but the rest of the dish was very bland, the egg yolk was fully cooked & my food was cold. My boyfriend's fried chicken was good but extremely salty & my sister in law's tofu was still frozen when she got it. The udon curry plate was delicious though! The staff is also very friendly & restaurant has a nice ambiance!
We came here for a weekend Montreal trip & I was excited to try a good Korean restaurant, & this one had lots of good reviews. IT IS JUST AS GOOD AS THE REVIEWS SAY. Their rosé sauce is unbelievable. It is the best rosé sauce I have tasted in my life. Their bibimbap & fried chicken were also REALLY good-this is the kind of restaurant where you can't decide what to get because you know everything will be equally tasty!!! We even came back a second time the next day & the owner was also super friendly. I genuinely cannot recommend this restaurant enough for the food, & the vibes were great too.
One of my favourite spots in Montreal. The fried chicken is great, & the kimchi topped fries are addictive. Make a reservation in advance, or prepare to be waitlisted.
service was a bit slow on a thursday evening but staff was nice. food took some time to arrive but we all really enjoyed everything we ordered ( beef tartare, dolsot bibimbap, tteokbokki, chicken curry ) kimchi & shredded radish were a great entree.
I don't normally write reviews but my kids love it so much we be going back forsure. The spicy beef udon & curry katsu is a big win for me. Omg the flavours. Kids love the spicy Taboki with extra cheese n ramen it's so addicting. Beef tartare n seafood pancake n fry chicken is a must get if u wanna drink n eat :) There is something for everyone & for the price your paying its fair. A hidden gem in MTL downtown
