Sopoong is widely celebrated for its authentic and flavorful Korean cuisine, with many diners praising the high quality of dishes like fried chicken, bulgogi, and various stews. While the majority of visitors highlight generous portions, friendly service, and a welcoming, clean atmosphere, some experiences varied regarding the consistency of side dishes, meal portion sizes, and oil levels in fried items. Despite occasional critiques about specific dishes or communication challenges, the overall consensus points to a satisfying dining experience that keeps locals and food enthusiasts returning for consistent, homemade-style meals.
Delicious food & quick service, their quantity & quality reflect well on the price. I particularly loved the fact that the bulgogi bbq set had rice, salad & miso soup on the side, making it a very balanced meal!
The flight time from Montreal to Seoul Korea is about 17 hours & 25 minutes, so instead of flying to Korea my wife & I decided to take a leisurely 15 minute walk to the Sopoong Korean Restaurant located on Queen Mary Road. Just for your information Sopoong means PICNIC in Korean & we definitely had a great indoor picnic at our table. We ordered 2 Korean BBQ specialties from the menu which included a tasty Miso Soup, a healthy garden salad, sticky rice, & we shared a Chicken Teriyaki Plate as well as a Bulgogi (marinated beef) Plate, both piled high with vegetables & served on a hot metal platter. Our dinner was extremely delicious & the portions were very generous so that we had enough food to take home with us for another meal. Best of all we didn't have to board a jet for another 17 hours & 25 minute flight back to Montreal, & after a pleasant 15 minute walk we were home again.
The food here is so good that the biggest challenge is to choose what I want more... The bulgogi soup with those perfect noodles & that broth that warms the soul? The fried chicken with that insanely delicious onion mayo bridge to the next plane of existence? Who am I kidding, I just get both every time & just enjoy the leftovers the next day which are somehow just as good.

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.
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.
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.
Clean environment, great service Love their chicken, tteopoki, pork bone soup (although it was not as spicy as previous times, it still taste good) The food here feels authentic & comforting
