“Great neighbourhood restaurant offering a variety of classic Korean dishes. Family friendly and affordable. Food is always consistently good. They also have Korean beer and soju, which is appreciated at the end of the week!“

“Opiano is a cozy Korean restaurant right next to McGill University and it’s perfect for students to grab lunch after class. 🍲 It offers authentic and tasty Korean dishes at a very reasonable price, making it a go-to spot for both quick meals and casual hangouts.

In the summer, they serve bingsu (shaved ice dessert), and I have to say the milk flavor is the richest and creamiest you can find in Montreal. 🧊🥛 Absolutely delicious! Strongly recommended for anyone looking for great Korean food near campus. 🌟“

“Love the place! The tteokbokki was surprisingly good and the service was impeccable. Dont know about the point of view of ismael but the experience i had for a first time was really great. Would recommand this place to everyone who wants to eat good food.“

“Great service and AMAZING fried chicken!!! A must try ��“

“Very tasty. Great service from Lay. I’ll be back!“

“I was choosing between a few korean places and chose this one since it said it served side dishes with the meal which I did end up not receiving. HOWEVER honestly, the dakgalbi and miso soup are so freaking tasty im not even that upset. The taste is incredible“

“Best Korean food I've ever eaten. The food arrives still piping hot (like literally sizzling in cast iron). Service is super fast too, we got all of our food within maybe 10 minutes of ordering. Very affordable, 120$ for 4 ppl, a table absolutely full of food, a bottle of soju and a beer. Will definitely be coming back here!“

“Premiere fois que je fais le "Tip the bill" et c'est mérité à 100% !👌😃“

“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!“

“Amazing place! Food, ambiance, service... If you are a gourmet lover, I highly recommend it!“

“Super service, nourriture délicieuse, personnels accueillants. A1“

“Amazing fried chicken and great service! The chicken was delicious, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. A big shoutout to the tattooed server who was super sweet and patient in helping us choose. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“très bon plats bonne qualité et très bon service“

“Got the seafood pancake and the Cheolpan (beef and rice and soup and side appetizers, really worth the price), and they were so fresh and delicious. The beef was tender and the seafood pancake was crazy good. I mean just LOOK at the picture“

“Excellent lightly battered, crunchy, juicy chicken thighs, covered with their delicious sweet garliky and a little spicy sauce!!
It's to die for!!!!
Bulgogi is also an excellent choice, very tasty and well cooked meat.
The quality of their food is worth the price.
The owner are very pleasant and polite and patiently explain their menu.
It's a family run business, they truly care about the food they prepare and it shows.
Please support them, you won't regret it!!!!!“

“It was the first time in a month that we ordered food and boy was it satisfying. Arrived hot, spicy and soooo good! Thank you Ganadara! Will order again for sure!“

“First time to try here, the boneless chicken was our favourite, my kid loves it!!! And i ordered 2 kinds of skewers for myself (squid and chicken gizzards ) both of them are season well, a little spicy kick, but i like it. The cashier (maybe manager) is nice! Enjoy the food, will be back for other foods!“

“Très bon !! Je recommande 😌“

“The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my son’s allergies. He’s allergic to egg, fish and shellfish. We were able to order the avocado gimbap without egg and ask them to be careful with cross contamination. My son loved his first gimbap. We also ordered bulgogi kimbap and injeolmi craffle, which were delicious as well. The place doesn’t have AC so it does get pretty hot during the summer and there’s little seating. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.“

“The owners were friendly and the decor was so cozy, it felt like we were in a K-drama cafe ! We took the sundubue jiggae (tofu stew soup) with the extra seafood and it was sooo flavorful. The menu is short, but the classics are well executed. Will come back !“

“definitely the BEST kimbap / onigiri in town!
Dont mind the big line, you won't wait more than 5 minutes at most. service is incredibly fast, the food is amazing, generous, and cheap.

great afternoon snacks, always a stop when i am in the area. i so wish they had more locations.

the kimbaps are so fresh, you get it and the rice is still a little warm. yummmm! juicy, umami, balanced sweetness, crispy nori.

always very fresh ingredients!

treats for the vegetarians <3“

“La nourriture c’est très délicieuse, le service vraiment vite, et le meilleur service que j’ai trouvé au montreal par Kazuko, Seoha The food is very delicious, the service really fast, and the best service I have found in Montreal by Kazuko, Seoha“

“One of the most delicious Korean restaurants we have been to hands down! Every single dish is incredibly tasty, and the service is amazing too. Everyone is very friendly and the service is very fast. We shared a few appetizers and 2 meals (the bulgogi bbq and the ddukbul soup) and everything was very delicious! We will definitely be adding this to our list of go-to restaurants.“

“I stopped by to grab something to go. The waitress was absolutely lovely and welcoming, the food was tasty (I had the bibimbap) but one big issue for me is that the portions are tiny. It seems like I could easily eat 2 meals, and that means I don't feel like I am getting my money's worth.

Dear restaurant owner, please increase your portions, I don't mind paying a bit more, but the current price to food ratio is not great. Just having more rice would be a big improvement.“

“I ordered the chicken katsu poke bowl. It was delicious! The vegetables were fresh, the chicken was thin and crispy, there was a little rice on the bottom which had beans mixed in. The spicy drizzle and dressing was subtle and not over powering. Very tasty 👌 Must try!“

“On adorait le resto à la table. on a donc essayé la livraison aujourd'hui. Les plats sont arrivés froids, pas tièdes ...froids ! J'avais ecrit un commentaire de mettre un plat non épicé, ça n'a pas été fait. et aucun appel pour dire par exemple qu'il n'avait pas un substitution... Très déçue !“

“Delicious food, good service and a very nice place :)
100% recommended

“Yummy Bingsoo mango /strawberry Great Sunday treat for my girls Friendly and sweet owners Support local NDG business“

“Busy for the good food all the time.“

“This restaurant has to be one of my favorite spots in Montreal! I’ve been multiple times already and it has never disappointed me. It was my first time trying Korean food and it made me fell in love with this cuisine. I absolutely love this place and you should absolutely try it. Service is great! And my recommended dishes are the following: Kimchi chigae, beef bone soup, bulgogi jeongol, dakgalbi with pork and their fried chicken!
You won’t be disappointed!“

“We ordered the seafood pajeon, seafood soondubu, and yangnyum chicken. The food was good overall. The soup was flavorful, and the chicken had a nice sweet and spicy umami flavor that my husband really liked, though the sauce was a bit on the heavy, sweeter side, so it’s something you can only enjoy a few pieces of.

Service was polite, but we felt a little rushed. They served the food and checked in once, but it felt like they wanted to turn the table quickly. We hadn’t even been there for an hour.

I’d recommend going when it’s not too busy so you can take your time and really enjoy the meal. I’d come back to try other dishes, maybe with a bigger group next time so we can share and sample more items.“

“Excellent service. The menu has changed because the administration hasn't been the same since the pandemic. They made a mistake in my telephone order. When I reported it they made the order I wanted but still gave me the first one so I could discover the menu without paying. The gentleman was really courteous and professional. And my meal was very good. I will go back“

“Food was ok, I think the owners are Vietnamese or the full staffs are viet. Nothing against it, but it’s just very dull; service was minimal, as I think language barrier was an issue.

Perhaps my review is a little rougher but after testing other bbq in Toronto mon ami are very basic in my humble opinion.

We were a table of 7 and they force a % on service when there was not much service per say, at this point I think it’s better off having an all you can eat food distribution like the all you can eat hotpot display.“

“The combination of Korean fried rice and barbecue chicken made for a perfect harmony of textures and flavors. The dish was not only visually appealing but also satisfying and filling. Whether you’re a fan of Korean cuisine or trying it for the first time, this pairing is sure to impress.“

“5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It’s a great place“

“My sister and I were looking for a comfort spot that wasn’t too far away from our hotel. We found this cute little Korean spot with authentic dishes.

We ordered the following:
- Octopus Bibimbap
- Beef Bulgolgi Ssam Bap
- Saewoo Tigim
They also gave us these pickled vegetables as our starters.
Everything tasted really delicious! I especially loved the crispy rice at the bottom of the stone bowl (bibimbap). The bulgolgi was really tender. I really liked wrapping it in a lettuce wrap with rice and ssam. They also gave us some kimchi that we also put into the lettuce wraps. The shrimp was lightly battered with panko. The sauce they served with the shrimp is a wasabi-mayonnaise that was tangy.

Everything tasted very authentic. We noticed that the chefs were both Korean. The customer service was good too. Our food didn’t take too long to arrive.

The space is a little smaller - probably seated around 15 people in total, so make sure to do reservations or go earlier when they open so you get a spot. We were seated at the bar side for our meal. Overall a nice cozy Korean spot for dinner. Definitely would recommend!“

“I took a Canadian domestic flight from Calgary to Montreal for about 4 hours and ate soybean paste stew and jeyuk gospel at Kosa Korean Restaurant for dinner.The taste reminded me of the taste my parents used to make when I was young.I would like to thank the staff for their kindness, service, and side dish refills.“

“A gem in NDG, a small and cozy restaurant. Been here a few times and I have to say this is the BEST Tangsu Pork I’ve tried in the city. I have tried other Chinese and Korean restaurants with similar dishes, but nothing can beat this one. Pork feet was also to die for. Price is reasonable and staff are super friendly and nice. Portions are generous.“

“It was the first time in a month that we ordered food and boy was it satisfying. Arrived hot, spicy and soooo good! Thank you Ganadara! Will order again for sure!“

“A bit of a disappointing experience.
We ordered truffle fries and boneless honey butter chicken. The fries were not homemade, lukewarm, and tasted nothing like truffle, instead it tasted only pamassan. We told the waiter and they gave us another fries plate, this time pretty hot without truffle flavor but it’s still appreciated. And the honey butter chicken tasted really good with the sauce, just too much crispy with not enough chicken. It’s the second time I visit there, again a bit disappointed. Btw, the dished takes a looooooong time 30 minutes for just fries and 1 hour for the fried chicken and it’s noisy.“

“My friend and I went to have lunch here for the first time. Even though there were mishaps, the owner fixed it and was so nice aboit it. He came to our table. they had outstanding service. the Yuzu mocktail is excellent and so is the okinominyaki and the pork bone soup that comes with rice. everything was delicious“

“Haven't actually visited the place itself but definetly planning to!! I had their chicken at the pocha festival and the flavors are amazing!! Even tho the chicken was slightly overcooked, the spicy garlic was so delicious even if it was burnt to a crisp it would taste good😩😩“

“Toujours succulent pour un repas express 😁❤️“

“Awesome late lunch, the chef made the food fresh at the moment and it was delicious as well as his kimchi... very fresh and different. Definitely will come back. Great prices too, very clean and nice decor, friendly staff and chef.“
