Korean Restaurants in Montreal

If you’re craving Korean food in Montreal, you’re in luck. The city has a handful of spots where you’ll find everything from seriously good barbecue to comforting bowls of kimchi jjigae. Little Korea around Saint-Laurent and Saint-Denis isn’t huge but it packs enough punch. Restaurants like Bimbimbap House on Parc Avenue serve up solid, affordable bibimbap bowls perfect for any day of the week.

For something more authentic, check out Almaz on Saint-Laurent. Their stone pot dishes and spicy tteokbokki hit the spot, especially on a chilly night. And honestly, don’t skip the sides , those little kimchi plates and pickled radishes are what make a Korean meal feel complete. Oh, and a quick pro tip: if you want the best Korean fried chicken in Montreal, SooChow on Saint Hubert is where I usually take friends. Crispy, juicy, and way better than the usual fast food alternative.

Spring and fall are great seasons to explore Montreal’s Korean eateries because sitting outside on patios or strolling through the Mile-End district with a hot soondubu jjigae in hand are small pleasures you don’t want to miss. Just be ready for a little spice , Korean food in this town doesn’t mess around!

Quick tips for Korean eats

If you want to try Korean food beyond the usual spots, head to Parc Avenue in the Plateau. It’s where a lot of Korean expats and serious foodies go. Don’t miss ordering a bowl of spicy soondubu jjigae (soft tofu stew) on a cold day , it’s soul-warming and hits just right. And if you love fried chicken, SooChow on Saint Hubert is a bit under the radar but awesome for crispy, saucy Korean fried chicken. Oh, and most places include complimentary banchan (those little side dishes) that you can actually ask to refill , a little secret many tourists miss.
