Great portions!! And banchan good too. Doenjan jiggae a little too salty maybe. But overall very nice!

Mukja used to be our favorite family-run restaurant, known for serving authentic Korean dishes that are hard to find at other Korean restaurants in Montreal. Sadly, after returning today, we were very disappointed. The menu has changed significantly, but we decided to give it a try anyway—and regretted it. The soybean beef soup was bland, tasting like nothing more than water and soybean paste, with none of the rich flavor you would expect from a proper beef broth. The seafood pancake was even worse. It was badly overcooked, the batter was far too thick, and it looked more like a pizza than a Korean pancake. To make matters worse, the middle of the pancake was burned, and it seemed like it was intentionally hidden under the soy sauce bowl. We only discovered it when we lifted the bowl. When we brought this to the staff’s attention, there was no apology or concern shown. We ended up leaving without finishing our food, yet still paid full price. We were told the chef changed in February 2026, and unfortunately, the quality and authenticity of the food seem to have changed as well. It’s really sad to see what was once our favorite restaurant lose what made it special. Sadly, we will not be coming back :(
The food is good and fairly priced for the quantity. We've been a couple of times and usually end up with leftovers for lunch the next day. The stews specifically the yukgaejang is really solid as is the dak galbi in my opinion.
Very friendly, portions are hugee with side dishes!
A lovely family-owned spot in ndg for comforting Korean food. Everything is served hot, fresh, and full of flavour that gives you that homemade feel. The space is quite small, so it can get pretty busy and hectic at times, but the food makes it worth it! Come early to avoid waiting.
Every time I eat here, I come away more than full and satisfied. Everything I've eaten has been delicious, but my favourite is always the bibimbap, whether I'm eating in or getting delivery. I've always been seated immediately, and the service is always great. I do find the tables and chairs are a little small, so I struggle a bit with leg room, and a long winter jacket slung over the back of your seat is more likely to touch the floor. But everything else is great - and it's a perfect location on a bus route and with nearby parking. Highly recommend!
Best Korean food in Montreal
Kalbitang was so good which made me think about those old days I lived in Korea. Jampong was terible, blank, seafoods were not fresh at all. Fried chicken was soo good . I loved banchans more 🤤 Waters was not so friendly, never smiled when brought out foods to my table.
great food, great atmosphere, great staff good amount of vegetarian food!
what more can you ask for. great spot with great service, prices and portions. will go back for sure.
The food is truly amazing. Everything is delicious and the presentation is very well made. The staff is very friendly and nice. Love going there!
Amazing Korean food in Montreal— by far, the most authentic, tasty and at a reasonable price. You won’t be disappointed!
GOMTANG!!! Whoever preps the gomtang here is the real MVP. Get it, enjoy it, savour it. It is sooooooo good. So glad we have this restaurant in Montreal. The banchans are always good as well and they rotate the selection it seems. Love it. Can’t recommend enough.
One of my favorite restaurants, the people working there are always so friendly and the food is delicious.
Everything was delicious, service very fast and friendly
Delicious and cheap 😋
Amazing food, everything was honestly delicious. It was our 3rd time and we thought everything tasted even better than the first 2 times. The menu concept has changed for the better as you get a soup, sides and a desert with the main dish you order. The service & staff was very helpful & friendly! 10/10
Great Korean food, huge portion for the price. My kids finished the whole plate of Bulgogi beef. Will come back definitely.
Mukja has always been my go-to spot, and after the renovation it’s even better. Everything was absolutely delicious especially “ jjukkumi bokkeum” is hands down the best dish on the menu. So flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely addictive. So glad they’re back!
For the price it's worth, it's delicious and fulfilling! Good price. Portions are quite generous, staff is super friendly, and service was nice and fast (exceot when its packed). Taste wise, flavourful. They change the dessert everyday, which is good if you want to try their dessert menu. If you like sweet and spicy gojuchang together, then this spot is for you. I would recommend for sure the fried tofu and fried sweet potatoes. I'd recommend coming here with friends or on a date! Super cute ambience.
Big servings and awesome flavors on food! A must visit restaurant
