The food is excellent, although I haven't had the chance to try their kimbap yet. I've been there about five times over the past ten years, & it has consistently been good. The prices are very reasonable considering the location, especially compared to other nearby restaurants. The only downside, in my opinion, is that it's often packed with long lineups. When the restaurant is full, the tables are quite close to each other, so you can hear nearby conversations & the atmosphere can get pretty loud. That said, it felt amazing the one time I went early on a random quiet weekday during the summer, when most students were on vacation. The experience was much more relaxed & enjoyable.
It was 1st time...um don't know why a monday would be this crowded🫠. The interior design & food does make me feel like being in Korea😅. Strange huh?
The food was good, but the service was awful. We visited on a Saturday night & were seated in a very cramped corner overlooking the street, which made the experience uncomfortable. The server never even looked our way when we waved to get his attention, & we had to get the to-go boxes ourselves. Overall, there was a clear lack of care for customers. Based on this experience, I won't be returning & would rather spend my money at places that value their customers.
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.
Sam Cha never disappoints. The prices are very affordable, the staff is friendly & welcoming, & the food is consistently delicious & full of flavor. It's the kind of place you can come back to again & again without getting tired of it. I'd definitely go back & recommend it to anyone looking for good food at a great price.
Un endroit génial pour savourer un délicieux jokbal bien épicé !
Cette fois, j'avais envie de tester quelque chose de nouveau, alors j'ai commandé un gamjatang & une pajeon aux fruits de mer.
Quand il fait froid, rien ne bat un bon bouillon brûlant accompagné de saké bien chaud - un vrai bonheur !
Dans l'ensemble, les plats sont bon!
Le week-end en soirée, la réservation est indispensable !
Went & got the bibimbap , kimchijagge , chicken & pajeon . It was great service & the food was great .
I absolutely loved this place. Food was great, staff was friendly & helpful. We were having late dinner so place was almost empty but I heard it can get extremely crowded.
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$) (very salty & not enough rice in my opinion) & rose tteok (14$)
De~li~cious~ Glad that you're still here
//2yrs ago: Spicy udon & fried chicken
Unluckily waited 30mins since the waiter misheard.
Great food, Great price, Great service
Definitely a go to when stopping by in montreal & you're hungove
