The staff was extremely friendly. The atmosphere and decor if the place are really cute as well. The food I will say is quite plain. The bibimbap sauce is not very flavorful. The miso soup however is nice.

This is one of the best food I have had. I would go there everyday if I could ✨ everything I had is very good
Authentic Korean food with amazing services!! The owners are so sweet and always provide the best Korean food in town highly recommend to everyone 😋
I have been to many places for a good, authentic korean fried chicken that does not feel too soggy. This place is my go-to korean fried chicken place in all of montreal!
Bad service
This restaurant creates an experience. Every bite was extraordinary—beautifully crafted, deeply flavorful, and completely unforgettable. The kind of place that makes me pause mid-bite and think, “Wow… this is something special.” Exceptional in every sense. I’m already looking forward to coming back.
Exceptional service, great food, friendly staff, highly recommend 👍
Went there with my wife yesterday and my god, this place is great. The food is absolutely amazing, I've had many Korean food in Montreal, but this just because my number 1 spot. Can't wait to go again. The waiters we're extremely nice as well.
Love this place… food is amazing
I really don't understand where all the positive reviews are coming from. For me, it was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. The tempura shrimp were tasteless and soaked in greasy oil. The fries had some seasoning on them, but they still didn't taste good. The fried chicken in soy sauce was disgusting—again, so soaked in oil that it was dripping onto the table. The chicken had been thawed and was dry. My grilled tenderloin looked more like a kebab from a terrible shop and had absolutely no flavor. The broccoli and beans were thawed, too; they were supposed to be grilled but came from frozen packs. On top of that, I got a small soup that was completely tasteless. It was a terrible experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
What an amazing find it was stopping in at Restaurant Itaewon! We first stopped in for Soju and snacks, and returned a few days later for lunch. The beef dumplings are a must try. The pork bibimbap was tasty with just the right amount of spice, and the fried chicken was nice and crispy, even after being drenched in sauce. The food was delicious but the customer service was really what stood out. Our waiter remembered us from our first visit and was so kind, helpful and has amazing customer service. We will come back next time we’re in MTL.
Awesome place, service is excellent and only surpassed by the flavor of the colorful dishes. The portions are perfect for hungry people just like me, but also you could simply share. You can order whatever dish and I doubt you'll end up unsatisfied. Definitely added to my favorite list.
Denied a 5 years old to use the bathroom. I am a recurring customer and asked them if my son could pee and I was told by the waiter that the boss said no.
Best Korean food to go in town
Food is always yummy, a bit pricey but totally worth it for its authenticity 🤗
Staff was very friendly and food was delicious!! Would love to come back one day.
We loved this place, the food was amazing!
Oh I loved the food! So nice 🤩🤩🤩, they set up a table for us on the Patio, really amazing vibes.
Heard many good things about this place so we decided to try it out, and it was .... kind of disappointing. First of all, the service was really great. The staffs are wonderful. And it's a very cute store. But the food is not so great though. They were just so plain. I mean it was a nice experience because of the staffs but i don't think i'll be coming back soon.
We have been in many Korean restaurants in the US but this was by far the best! The Grilled Bulgogi and Spicy Chicken Bibimbap were incredible!
The food is reeeeaaallyy good :))
Had the bibimbop for lunch everything tasted amazing and all the ingredients were extremely fresh. The menu also had instructions on how to mix it properly if you've never had it before.
Got the bibimbap and it was honestly nothing special. That doesn’t mean that it wasn’t good though, it was actually splendid and very fulfilling.
Delicious food, a great introduction to the Korean cuisine, the service is at high level, very respectful and highly welcoming stuff
Food was phenomenal, staff super friendly. Can't go wrong here!
