Reseñas
Omg dukbokki was super good ! i usually like my tteokbokki with cheese, but i really like the more traditional dish as well so i thoroughly enjoyed it. the sauce had a nice sweet and spicy kick to it. the japchae was different to the japchae i usually get but still really good! it had more of a stir fry technique to it
A small family restaurant that has authentic and flavorful dishes. Conveniently located on a bus route and close to everything in downtown. Nice portions and good cooking, a bit run-down for the prices.
Hands down, without a doubt or competition, simultaneously one of my favorite meals and most memorable dining experiences I had during my short work trip to Montreal. When I searched up “Korean food in Montreal” during my intense craving for warm, comforting, asian food in a new city, this place popped up on multiple lists, recommendations, and Google Maps. After a long day and a light stroll through Old Montreal, I finally had the chance to(and was determined to) come here on Friday evening. I was kind of concerned that I wasn’t going to get in because 1) I’ve had multiple occasions of restaurants turning me away well before their closing time in Montreal (Which is still a mystery I’m) trying to solve 🤣😅, and 2) Well, it’s Friday night! Luckily, I was able to get in after a short 5-minute wait, and although I was a lone wolf and would be perfectly content with being tucked away in the corner with a small table to myself, the (who I later found out to be) Owner ended up seating me in a big table by myself- felt kind of guilty, but also so kind! The drinks and the food came out very quickly, I wont touch on the beer, because beer is beer lol, but the Spicy Pork Grill….first of all, the HUGE portion that only came out to $21?! In this economy? Secondly, the intense sizzling sound as the dish came out of the kitchen was enough to claim its #1 spot, but above all - the rich marinade without being too salty, the onions that cut through and help balance the fattiness of the pork, the perfectly cooked warm and fluffy rice…I honestly can conjure up the taste and how the dish made me feel just through writing this review. I had intended to pack 1/2 of it to go for my hotel room later, I promise, I did. I ended up walking out with a full and satisfying belly and a completely empty plate 🫣🤣 When I was paying, I chatted with the owner (well, the daughter of the owner), who told me how she used to live in Vancouver (I’m visiting from Vancouver), and just generally a bit about the history of the place. I feel such warmth and comfort from the food and hospitality - which, when you’re in a city/ place for the first time, is truly an irreplaceable feeling. The reviews speak for themselves, but please support local businesses, especially ones like this with great food, good people, and a big heart. 💛
The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and the prices are great. I highly recommend the rice cake skewer and their bibimbap.
Had their jjajangmyeong, shared the Dak Kang Jung (general tao chicken) and my friend had their bibimbap. Small point: Jjajangmyeon was good but perhaps just add a tiny bit of salt it would’ve been 100%! It was missing that “wok hei” flavour. But nevertheless, food was service was still great.
