The spicy jokbal is definitely the best in Montreal. Tender meat with soft and meting fat in the sticky sweet spicy sauce. It’s quite spicy but the sweetness and lettuce balanced it well. The portion is good for two people too. Overall highly recommend. Edit: ordered again 2 days later and it’s extremely salty, even the flavour is different…..

The quality of food has dropped a lot. We ordered pork bone soup, the meat was even cold (it was fully cooked but not heated) though the soup was hot, and the meat was really really really hard to chew. The yaki udon was very salty. Sam Galbi and Okonomiyaki were okay but not amazing.

They have really yummy chicken katsu curry with rice.. and a really good bibimbap. Service wasn’t the fastest, but overall it’s a good option for a quick meal.

A great Korean restaurant located on Sainte-Catherine Street near the Forum. The food is excellent, although I haven’t had the chance to try their kimbap yet. I’ve been there about five times over the past ten years, and it has consistently been good. The prices are very reasonable considering the location, especially compared to other nearby restaurants. The only downside, in my opinion, is that it’s often packed with long lineups. When the restaurant is full, the tables are quite close to each other, so you can hear nearby conversations and the atmosphere can get pretty loud. That said, it felt amazing the one time I went early on a random quiet weekday during the summer, when most students were on vacation. The experience was much more relaxed and enjoyable.

Sam Cha is a delightful Korean restaurant conveniently situated near Atwater Station. It has a lovely picnic table decor and welcoming ambiance with delicious Korean cuisine! Can't wait to come back and have their Beef Tartare again! We booked a table via Google Maps' reserve feature ahead of time and was reliably given a table when we arrived. The menu is scannable via a QR Code to their menu online. We ordered their Beef Tartare – a standout dish that we recommend. Its exceptional flavours and presentation left a lasting impression. For our main course, we opted for the Korean BBQ for 2, featuring beef ribs grilled at our table via a portable stove top. The set was accompanied by an apple salad and a vegetarian dolsot bibimbap. As of Sep 2024, the table top BBQ is not part of the menu any longer. We were also impressed by the attentive and efficient service that made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Staff would occasionally check in on our table and ensure our grill was working and food was being cooked and flipped. Additionally, the staff seamlessly accommodated both English and French speakers which was a great experience. Sam Cha conveniently accepts cash and credit payments.

The food was good, but the service was awful. We visited on a Saturday night and were seated in a very cramped corner overlooking the street, which made the experience uncomfortable. The server never even looked our way when we waved to get his attention, and we had to get the to-go boxes ourselves. Overall, there was a clear lack of care for customers. Based on this experience, I won’t be returning and would rather spend my money at places that value their customers.
