Great service and presentation, but the atmosphere felt boring — like a cafeteria with no real design or decor. The food was also very bland. We were looking for authentic Korean food and were supposed to go to Dawa, but they were closed. Dawa has the best Korean chicken resto in my opinion, not just because of the chicken but also the amazing side dishes and overall experience. So we tried Mukja for the first time, and unfortunately it will also be the last. It feels like they adopted an Americanized version of Korean food that is flavorless and soulless. It was a very disappointing experience and honestly felt like the complete opposite of the resto next door. Mukja has decent menu options, but the food is really bad if you’re looking for authentic Korean flavors. I’ve been to many Korean restos in Montreal like Sam Cha, Matjip, Jako, and even Mon Ami, and they range from good to great. Mukja is by far the worst Korean resto experience I’ve had. We didn’t even finish half of our food and still paid around $50. I’m sorry for the bad review, but I genuinely don’t recommend this place unless they make dramatic changes to their food.
