the food was very good, we were the only customers on a sunday 13:00 pm, the lady in the front was really nice and she even offer us hot green tea for free the menu is limited, but the 4 dishes that we tried were very well executed. I'll definitely coming back to try the fried chicken

The black bean noodles are phenomenal. Chewy noodles and flavorful sauce. Paired with a side of pickled radish highly recommend! Any of the dishes with fried meat is great. Good portion, light coating and juicy meat. If you are undecisive and want everything, get the cup bap which is rice noodles and meat. The service is always friendly and efficient. I did both take out and dine in. Equally enjoyable experiences! Plenty of seats (not the comfiest but so pretty) to eat on premises. Them being open late is also a life savior when I work too late and want some real homey/hearthy meal. Best place to end my day with a quick meal

One of my favorite Korean restaurants in MTL Ordered jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk and fried chicken cup-bap. All were authentic, well-prepared and delectable with generous portions. Definitely one of the most delicious Korean food in MTL! To be specific, the tangsuyuk (fried pork) was so crunchy and it was more amazing when dipping in sweet and sour sauce. The sauce itself was concentrated and really addictive. For jajangmyeon, the noodles were fresh and thick and the black bean sauce was flavorful but not salty. For me, it was the best jajangmyeon that I've eaten. The fried chicken cup-bap included japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), purple rice, fried chicken and salad. I was so happy that there was purple rice instead of white rice since it was healthier. The japchae was also great and the fried chicken was even more crunchy than the tangsuyuk. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I stumbled in this cozy little place by chance, and I'm glad I did. The staff was very welcoming, and the Jjam bbong portion was very generous and tasty. I've never had jjam bbong before, but I can definitely say that the noodles were special. Will definitely be back to try something else _

This is a really lovely gem right up on St-Denis St. I kept walking by and was wondering about such a small place and I'm really glad I took that step in the end. The food is really nice! I recently tried the Udong (no photo sadly) and devoured it. Nicely seasoned and the portion was quite big. Their rice is sooo yummy too! It has like some kind of comfy canteen vibes where you go grab a quick lunch and just pack it up if you are in a hurry. I would recommend if you are in the are!
