| - Don't fully believe the HYPE surrounding this restaurant, it's descent but you need to order the right food to make your visit worth it. If you come after 5:30 pm, there's usually a huge line. For my first visit, it took me about 20 minutes before I sat down. The restaurant is actually quite small so if your party is with two, then they fit you in a very small table, barely big enough to place all your food.
Food - it's new age Korean food. They do have a variety of dishes, but it's not traditional as they are missing dishes like the Pork Bone Soup and other types of stews. They also lack on a good selection of appetizers, in fact, the only appetizer is kimchi which compared to any other Korean restaurant in Montreal is very little. Now, they do have some very good plates including the Curry Tonkatsu Rice, and Seafood Soon Tofu. I also enjoyed their Chicken Wings, Seafoos Pancake, and Cheese Chicken Katsu Rice.
Speaking about the dishes with cheese - beware! Unless you love cheese to death, it might be a bit too much. It made the meal overly filling!
Service - it was good and servers were kind, but the kitchen chefs were accommodating. For example, they wouldn't let me try both flavours of chicken wings (spicy and original) on the same order, and they wouldn't let me have half seafood pancake and half kimchi pancake (which was clearly shown on the picture so that was a bit deceiving.)
I can see this spot continue being popular but don't have your expectations too high when stepping in the door if you are looking for traditional Korean food.
