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.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi un restaurant aussi merveilleux a une note de seulement 4,4 points ? La nourriture est super délicieuse. Les limonades aux pamplemousses & aux citrons sont excellentes & naturelles. Le service est excellent. Les tables, le sol & les toilettes sont propres. Ça laisse une très bonne impression. L'ambiance & la musique sont sympas. Les prix sont abordables.
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.
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.

Very good & filling food, especially for the price. Most items on the menu are on the bigger end of portions, so they're easy to share & eat together. Atmosphere is convenient, nothing too extravagant but good enough! Staff is nice but can be a bit socially awkward at times... still a great experience, highly recommend!
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. :):)
