Reviews describe Sopoong as a solid go-to for authentic Korean flavors in Montreal, with standout dishes like jaeyook and bulgogi and a kimchi stew that many praise for depth, while banchan are commonly described as fresh, plentiful, and homemade-tasting. Portions are generally generous and prices are considered reasonable, and the staff is noted as warm and attentive, contributing to a cozy, homely atmosphere that many find welcoming. Fried chicken and other favorites are repeatedly described as delicious, and vegetarian options such as veggie bibimbap with tofu and veggie sundubu are appreciated by diners who prefer non-meat dishes. Some comments point to occasional drawbacks, including busy times when service can be slower, occasional oiliness in fried chicken, and experiences where banchan feel limited or the flavors lean toward seafood in some dishes. The dining vibe is described as casual and unpretentious, sometimes compared to a fast-casual setting, but the cooking quality and portion sizes keep it competitive, with multiple visits underscoring consistency and a strong overall impression.
Absolutely loved this Korean restaurant! The food was bursting with authentic flavors-from the perfectly seasoned bulgogi to the rich, comforting kimchi stew. The banchan were fresh & plentiful, & everything tasted homemade & thoughtfully prepared. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, & the staff was warm & attentive. The cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a go-to spot for Korean food cravings-can't wait to come back!
if you enjoy gamjatang, you will leave dissatisfied (bland & only onions as veggies) so try literally anything else on the menu. also, keep in mind that you will only get kimchi as banchan. service is good
Got fried chicken with sweet garlic soy, & bulgogi beef, both the chicken & beef were absolutely divine! Server was extremely friendly & helpful! Would absolutely return.
Best fried chicken in Montreal, & I'm saying this as someone who was tried everything. Genuinely amazing food, okay portions on the chicken, great portions everywhere else. Good experience!
I was choosing between a few korean places & chose this one since it said it served side dishes with the meal which I did end up not receiving. HOWEVER honestly, the dakgalbi & miso soup are so freaking tasty im not even that upset. The taste is incredible
We ordered the bibimbap & Dak-Galbi. Both were delicious & completely complimented one another thus we shared each of them. The chicken was marinated & cooked perfectly & was extremely tender. the Bibimbap was cooked to perfection with loads of vegetables & crispy rice lining the stone bowl. Very generous servings that also come with a bowl of miso soup, which is excellent. The only surprising thing is that there aren't people lined up outside waiting to come in. The food is so good. The atmosphere looks a little bit like a fast food joint, but don't let that deceive you. The food is cooked to perfection & is at the level of any great Korean restaurant that we've been to. We've been here four times & can't wait to try their other dishes, but we love this one so much. It's very hard for us not to choose it when we come here.
