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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

I'd recommend to make a reservation in advance as they are so so busy for dinner. This Korean restaurant is cozy & I like the way they decorated the inside The staff took care of our table really quick. We ordered seafood pancake, rice cake & tofu soup. Everything was delicious & they were huge portion :) suggesting to share with each other haha. I'd definitely come back if I have a chance to visit Montreal again.

Sam Cha was delicious! Really good Korean food. We took normal spiciness level & I found the jjigae & tteokbokki quite spicy but it was really good. They have not spicy options like the pancake if you can't handle spicy. The service was great. The atmosphere was a bit loud but they have seats in the back which is calmer so I'll ask to sit there next time. Better reserve before going otherwise there's a waitlist.
