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.
I got their bulgogi bento... To die for! Great portions, caring service, great variety/combination in the bento box. Always looking to go to that area so I can eat there 🍱🤤
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
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.
Rapport qualité-prix excellent. Menu assez varié, bon service, & mon repas était vraiment délicieux. Les dumplings & le bibimbap étaient très savoureux & frais. D'ailleurs, après des années à déguster le bibimbap, j'ai appris dans ce restaurant que le nom bibimbap vient du substantif coréen "bibim", signifiant « mélangé », & de "bap", le « riz ». Une observation intéressante, évidente une fois connue, mais qui ajoute une touche spéciale à l'expérience culinaire.
Damn. The food here was super tasty. Many varieties of Korean food & not just the standard bulgogi or bibimap. O had the tofu stew that came in a steaming bowl. The flavor & heat was so intense that it literally made me shout out how good it was. Flavor was like a punch in the face. I was too excited that i forgot to take a pic of the food. Nevertheless, will definitely return.
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.
Restaurant coréen de quartier, bien sympa, pas trop achalandé & assez grand pour accueillir des groupes. Le poulet frit est idéal pour partager, sinon les plats individuels sont quand même assez gros! Les accompagnements banchan gratuits sont seulement du kimchi & de l'algue mariné. Ça aurait été encore plus chouette s'ils servent leurs propres préparations comme d'autres restaurants font.
I really love this restaurant ! I've been there multiple times. 감자탕,떡볶이,짬뽕라면,치킨,김치볶음밥 ect.. everything is good! Just in my opinion, 닭갈비 is the best !!! & kind staff & owner :)

i've been there a couple times & was always satisfied but i just ordered delivery from them tonight & i'm very disappointed. the kimchi jjigae is very oily, overly sweet, & only had like 5 tiny pieces of tofu. i was expecting the takoyaki to come from frozen & it did, which is fine, but charging 9$ for 5 minuscule balls is nonsense (plus they weren't very good).
On my top 3 Korean food restaurants by far from all the other places. If you are looking for a rich noutricious meal with authentic tast please go here. Server is a little forgetful with water & ambiance is very calm but by far the food exceeds all of that.
I had a nice time at this restaurant
We arrived early & it's a good thing cos it gets popular so it's just a little noisy
The food was good & it was a good portion
I will go there again
