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.
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!
Ive been coming here for the past 18 months atleast once a month. The food is authentic & never disappoints, the fried chicken is the most flavourful ive ever had. Jaeyook is sweet & hot as it reminds me of my many visits to Korea. The service is timely & friendly especially the waiter Joseph.
They have a good variety of food on the menu, the staff is friendly & service was fast. We ordered a bulgogi bbq skillet, some fried chicken & side dishes. Everything was super good… only tiny thing the fried chicken was a little soaked in oil (maybe they dropped the chicken in the oil too early before it got hot… if you know you know) but was still good to eat. The atmosphere is also very nice & restaurant very clean. Will be coming back!
Sopoong should be in your list if you want to try Korean restaurants in Montreal.
The size of each meal was worth the price & they were delicious.
We took the shrimp fried rice & the bibimbap but I'll definitely come back during the week for the lunch plates to try.

Nice waiter, food is nice, highly recommend their iced coffee(its not sweet but it has a nice flavour). We were a group of around 10, at the end of the meal waiter gave us some Yakult(mini yogurt drink). Prices are okay, but Portions are very nice, for the fried chicken , I recommend sharing it, because its really a lot. I had a beef soup, it was very warm & flavourful.

Our personal favorite: original & soy sweet fried chicken- cooked to perfection, odorless, tasty, crunchy! Their servings were also huge. We enjoyed their beef fried rice & japchae. We also ordered their takoyaki & fried shrimps. These were winners to the kids. I am not sure if they serve unlimited banchan, but the kind server gave us two more servings of their kimchi & seaweed salad since we really liked them. Place is big & there are tables to accommodate a party of six or ten. Toilet is also fragrant & clean. Would definitely go back to try other food on their menu & will be bringing friends along. :):)
This Korean restaurant is fancier than others I've been to. It's decorated nicely with fancy designs on the ceiling & has cozy lighting. It's really clean, & the staff are super friendly & attentive. We tried the Gamjatang (Pork Bone Soup) since it was cold & rainy then we asked the waiter for a recommendation & he suggested the Crispy Fried Chicken with Onion Mayo. We also tried the Tteokbokki on skewers. The food was delicious. The chicken was crunchy, & the Onion Mayo on top was perfect. The Tteokbokki skewers were chewy & had a nice mix of spice & sweetness. The Gamjatang was good, but I've had better in Koreatown in Toronto. As with the side dishes, they only have two, I wish they added more. Banchan is my personal highlight whenever I go to a Korean Restaurant for a meal. Fair price point is a yes for me. For those seeking to dine al fresco, they added outdoor seating which is a lovely option if dining for supper. Pro tip: Avoid the parking hustle. It was really tough finding a parking spot.
Ok so in the world of Korean fried chicken, this place has them all beat by a mile. The chicken is cooked in a pan one order at a time & takes a little time but worth it. The seasoning is excellent & I suggest you don't opt for the variety of sauces & stick with the plain breaded version. & if you have leftovers it's great for a cold lunch the next day too. Their pickled daikon radish - Korean version is a Cole slaw is excellent. Their kimchi is super too. I have had some other hot dishes that were also very good but it's the chicken that's the absolute bomb. Please, don't pass this around to many people as I don't want my best place in the city to have this type of chicken to become too busy. Interior. Nice & decent for a date night. More a family environment. Quality. Fresh & cooked a la minute. Value. Excellent value & portions are good. Service. Pretty good. You can go in line & order & then get your table & they bring the food to you.
Pleasantly surprised by this Korean BBQ. Authentic Korean food... Serving everything from Bulgogi, to the famous Korean fried chicken. Went in just after lunch & had a feast. Prices were reasonable & portions were generous. The wait staff was attentive & everything was delicious!
Clean place, Fresh food. Their fried chicken is just perfect (crunchy, juicy & clean). Staff is friendly & nice. Proces are affordable if we consider the quantities. Keep up the service. I'll definitely comeback & recommand you as long as you keep the positivity.
