| - Great Korean food, with a lot of items on the menu, including some I haven't seen in other restaurants in Montreal; I think some of these dishes are on the "trendier" side of Korean cuisine, and I welcome the chance to try food I haven't had elsewhere. I first went here on a whim in the dead of winter, the pictures on Yelp making me salivate the whole way up Decarie. First good point: parking is usually easily found either directly in front of the resto, or max, a block away. There is a mix of pay and free parking (free parking is a bit further on some side streets). As mentioned by others, this place is small, and while we didn't have problems getting a table during the cold months, the last two times we went, with good weather, lineups had started. The banchan are great (wish the portions were a bit bigger, but they'll give you more if you ask), with the kimchi having this perfect balance of salty, spicy, sour. They also always give some toasted seaweed coated in sesame oil. This one is my favorite, as the oil really gives it great flavor! We usually get a full order (they have a half size as well) of the fried chicken as a starter- great portion size, these are boneless pieces of chicken on top of a bed of honey coated fries. Again, the honey, while unusual at first taste, became addictive. They also give a mayo-based dipping sauce. For mains, I stick with the bulgogi beef cup bap: a bowl of rice with super tender pieces of marinated beef, sweet potato glass noodles, shredded lettuce, sweet sauce...and I'm probably forgetting some ingredients! When we first went, the owner/ server made sure to tell us multiple times to "mix well! Keep mixing!" so as not to end up with plain rice at the end of our meal :) Other winners we've tried are the kimchi beef bulgogi bibimbap, and the spicy chicken cup bap. One caveat: most of the dishes I've tried and enjoyed, lean toward the sweet side due to the sauces used. So for those that prefer salty and savory only, go for other items rather than the cup bap selection. There's much to choose from! And if you wish to wash your food down with an alcoholic beverage, they do have a small menu of beer, wine, etc. We usually stick to the hot glass of tea the owner brings as soon as we sit down. Service is attentive and friendly. Portions are generous. Prices decent. What more can you want?
