Sam Cha est une adresse coréenne populaire sur la rue Sainte-Catherine, appréciée pour ses plats savoureux, un prix abordable et une ambiance conviviale qui rappelle la Corée; la carte offre des classiques comme le tteokbokki, le fried chicken, le bibimbap, le pajeon et la soupe soondubu, avec des portions généreuses et une qualité correcte selon les avis; le service est généralement chaleureux, mais le lieu peut devenir très fréquenté et bruyant, surtout le week-end, ce qui rend la réservation recommandée et les temps d attente variables; des critiques soulignent parfois des portions modestes, des plats parfois trop salés, des cocktails décevants et des questions d hygiène ponctuelles, ainsi que des regrets sur l absence de l offre ayce barbecue et sur la mise à jour du menu en ligne; dans l ensemble, Sam Cha demeure une option abordable et savoureuse pour découvrir la cuisine coréenne, avec des coups de cœur pour certains plats et des points à affiner selon les visites.
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.
if you're planning to come around 5:30pm-7pm on the weekends, make sure to have a reservation or you can join the online queue & they will text you when your table is ready, it gets really busy-for good reason!
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!
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
Legitimately the best spot in mtl. Great staff, great vibes, great soju. Get the lychee soju & pig feet (spicy ) & seafood pancake. Thank me later. Cya
