Tasty korean dishes with great service.

The best Korean dining experience I've had yet! The food was incredible, the place was cute and cozy. They serve tea at need (instead of cold water which will just make you feel full) and everything was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place and thank you to our friends that showed us the place!

Always good. Extraordinary value for money. It's tasty and authentic. One of the few to still serve several banchans.

This restaurant is so underrated! Everything I’ve had here has been delicious.

If you haven’t been, I highly recommend getting the Haemul (Seafood) Pajeon and the Galbi beef ribs (I like it better than the L. A. Galbi).

Their Mandu are good. Simple, warm and comforting.

The Dak bulgogi (spicy marinated chicken) is good, if you prefer a saucier/curry like dish.

The Sundubu jigae is solid and I would order it again (but I’m also trying to get a different soup every time because they are all so good).

I’ve also tried their spicy bred and vegetable soup, the pork rib soup is great, and I really loved their spicy cod soup.

I’ve also had the bibimbap and it’s very good. The cold bibimbab (salmon bowl) and it’s fresh and delicious! I wish they were open for lunch because I would order this again!

I would skip the Jokbal. It’s good, but I prefer the one from the Montreal Korean & Japanese Foods (grocery store on Sherbrooke st. West).

Overall, I love this place! The portions are good, the food is tasty, and satisfying. It’s one of the only restaurants that, even if I eat a lot, I don’t feel bloated there day after eating here (another sign that they are using excellent ingredients).

Call before going, however, because they are a small business, their hours vary (and sometimes they are closed ?).

Opening hours are so unreliable. They close randomly whenever they want. So disrespectful!

Unfortunately, I didn't get to taste the food here because of the subpar service. When I arrived, I stood by the cash machine for about 10 minutes, and despite noticing that the restaurant was short-staffed, I was completely ignored. The waiter walked by me at least 4 times without even acknowledging my presence. This lack of attention was shocking, especially considering the many empty tables were filled with used plates and glasses, indicating a clear need for more staff.

Although the food looked appealing, the poor service left a sour taste in my mouth. I question how the food would taste after such a neglectful welcome. Unfortunately, I would advise others to stay away until they improve their service.

At 6:12 pm when we called, this restaurant confirmed to us that they open tonight. After 1 hour 20 min driving from Zoo Granby, at 7:32 pm, arriving at the restaurant, they changed their words to say they were closed already. Hard to get why such unusual information (Saturday night closing before 8pm) cannot be mentioned when we called. Respecting schedule should be a mutual way between customers and restaurants.
