This is a cosy little corner restaurant with a good variety of Korean dishes. I've been to a fair number of Korean restaurants and Omma had a wide variety of dishes that would appeal to all types of palettes. The dishes are well suited for sharing as well, so it is easy to get some different main courses and divvy them up.
We had a reservation and bar seating was all that was available, which was suitable. When we arrived there were open tables reserved for others. It looked to me like walk-in traffic would be taking a chance, so a reservation is recommended.

Tried out Omma for a late weekday dinner. It’s a small, cozy Korean spot. Didn’t see any Korean customers, kitchen’s run by a Korean couple.
- Banchan - kimchi and bean sprouts. Kimchi was lightly pickled
- Beef bibimbap ($24.00) - rice didn’t get crispy but flavours were well balanced. Good variety with bean sprouts, carrots, mushroom, daikon, cucumber, zucchini and a raw egg
- Soondooboo jigae ($20.00) - comes with a bowl of rice. Broth was okay but wasn’t spicy
Portions are on the small side. 3.5 stars
Amazing beef broth soup

I cannot say enough about Omma’s cooking. Hands down the best Korean food I’ve ever had. God forbid, if I ever found myself on death row, I would ask for her cooking to soothe me in my final moments.
The tubu tuigim was perfectly crisp on the outside and incredibly moist on the inside. The bibimbap had the freshest of ingredients that harmoniously mixed together to create a mouthwatering experience of a lifetime. I had never heard a stone bowl sizzle that hot before. The raw egg cooked itself within seconds before my eyes and the intense heat made the best charred rice imaginable.
Through Omma I’ve regained my faith in god, her cooking is one of Montreal’s best hidden gems. After one meal, I love her almost as much as my Korean girlfriend. If Omma ever offered cooking lessons my life would be heaven.
Find Omma for a wonderful evening with your loved ones. We’ll be back every week, we’ll see you all there.

Oh my goodness this place is a gem! The food is phenomenal, the vibes are chill and inviting and the staff are friendly. The food is legitimately my favorite that I’ve had in MTL

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!

The bibimbap with beef bulgogi was DELICIOUS and probably better than any bibimbap I've had in Toronto. I would come back for this dish any day! The service wasn't super fast but I don't think that's a bad thing because why is everyone in a rush anyway.
It is decent Korean food adapted for western taste-buds. It got really busy and its best if you make a reservation in advance. There seems to be only one service staff and although she was obviously overworked, service was still good.
