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.
Absolutely loved it! We waited about 45 minutes as it was Saturday night dinner time. Once seated we were quickly greated & served our drinks. We ordered; sweet chickie, bulgogi, spare ribs, homemade kimchi, curry udon, tteakbokki rosé & seafood pancake. All super delicious & perfectly portioned for 4 people. Service was quick, friendly & efficient. Will definitely come back to taste more from the menu! Only negative is you come out of restaurant very very very stinky 😝
A bit of a disappointment since there was no free side dish. We ordered some tteok bok ki fried skewers & it was good, with some sauce to dip in. We ordered some fried dumplings & they were bland, a bit too fried, too oily. The rating went downhill because of the porc bone soup, the soup was very very salty & when you remove the 3 big bones, there is barely any soup left... Anyways, not recommended. The beef bibimbap was ok, could of been better in taste.
The service was ok, it wasn't busy at lunch time, & had to ask the waitress twice for napkins.
The place didn't look too tidy, mediocre, the seats were a bit too close between clients.

Food was good, but that's about it. The service was ok, not great they never came to check ups after serving, also it took 40 minutes to receive our food, which wasn't so bad as we got our appetizer at least. My biggest problem is that we got placed in a separate room from everyone, it was past the kitchen; it look disheveled, left behind & also cold since there wasn't a lot of people/ambiance… Honestly would have expected better from a reservation! Overall ok since the food was good (at least), but i would not go back there.
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but the meal didn't quite live up to what I had hoped for.
We started with the Beef Tartare as an appetizer. The beef itself was quite sweet, but the flavors felt unbalanced. To make matters worse, it was served cold, almost frozen, with ice crystals in it😂😂
The Tofu Soup, however, was a highlight. It had a great flavor & was definitely the best dish of the meal. We also tried the Spicy Jokbal, but it was far too sweet! Despite being labeled as spicy, I could barely taste any heat.
The waiter was attentive tho, so one star for him. But overall, I left feeling disappointed
Cette semaine j'avais appeler pour reserver pour ma fete a moi & mon amie samedi du a un probleme de cuisine il ne prenais que de petite reservation ce qui est comprenable mais il ont quand meme acceptee de prendre ma reservation pour samedi jen suis vraiment reconnaissante le samcha est devenu mon resto preferee cest tellement bon les prix son abordable & le service 1000/10 nous avons eu du plaisir & vraiment apprecier notre moment desoler pour le bruit samedi 😂😂😂 desolee aussi d'avoir surement tres mal prononcer makgeolli mais cetais vrm bon cest la deuxieme fois que jy allait en groupe & on a tellement aimee quon voulais revenir je conseille vraiment ce restaurant un gros merci au staff de nous avoir endurer dans notre fun 😂😂😂
Beef tartare est le meilleur!!! C’est la première fois j’essaie du bœuf cru mais franchement c’est super délicieux, trop tendre & la sauce est sour & sweet. La portion de Spicy jokbal est trop généreuse, on était trois mais on n’a pas pu finir. La serveuse était trop patiente avec nous elle nous a aidé sur le choix des plats, mais le resto est quand même petit & les places sont trop trop serrées, à part ça tout était parfait!!
Soo so good! Love the food there, it honestly doesn't compare to any other place. The quality is amazing, the prices aren't too high & overall everything is nice. Do make sure you reserve though because it's always packed.
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.
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.
the bulgogi bibimbap is very tasty & filling. I enjoy coming here as I know I'll consistently get a good meal. would recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
Nice atmosphere but imho not authentic, too sweet & no heat, soup was a let down, also there were no koreans or even asians in the kitchen when we visited back in April.
Tteok-bokki was absolutely delicious! The quantity to the quality, very yummy ! Mouthwatering kimchi spicy juicy tangy, full of authentic flavour! Warm ambience & cozy seating
Authentic Korean food. The food is quite tasty & authentic but it is more on the bar food & tappas. The taste profile is on the sweeter side. I highly recommend the beef tartare! The waiters were friendly & helpful but the service was a bit slow as they barely came to see us & we had to request them for water. Atmosphere is more lounge like & louder.
