| - Was very excited to see that what is known as one of the best Korean restaurants in Montreal finally has a location downtown. The menu is not as comprehensive as the one in NDG, but the restaurant is a lot more spacious. There are still however lineups at dinner time.
The service is relatively fast considering the amount of customers. The side dishes included a coleslaw salad, spicy cucumber, kimchi, and radish. Nothing extraordinary. We tried the spicy chicken with cheese, the soybean stew and the rabboki (with cheese).
My favorite our of the three was by far the soybean stew. It was the most flavourful soybean stew I've had in Montreal. It's a little spicy (even though there is no indication on the menu) which made it even better. I'd give it 9/10 just because it is vegetarian. A little meat would make it 11/10.
The spicy chicken with cheese was very good, but what disappointed me was that it was not representative of the picture in the menu: the portion seems smaller in reality, and there were no veggies, just chicken and cheese. A lot of cheese. A little too much to my taste.
The rabboki also had a lot of cheese. It was supposed to be a mix of ramen and rice cakes, but I felt like it was more 4/5 ramen and 1/5 rice cakes. It was also not as spicy as I would've liked it.
Three dishes was more than enough for two famished people. We even brought back some leftover. However, it might also have been because we had two dishes with A LOT of cheese, so it kinds of cuts the appetite pretty quick. I would suggest not ordering more than 1 cheese dish for two people at a time.
The price is not too bad, except for the chicken which was 25$. The portion and ingredients were not worth 25$ for sure. But I would definitely go back to try other dishes.
