We were a bit worried when we walked up and we barely saw a sign of a busy restaurant. When we opened the door, I saw Koreans dining and all you can hear were buzzed Old Korean ajussis having a good time with empty soju bottles lined up. It was a bit of a relief.
Coming from LA where it's known to have better Korean food than Korea, I knew I had to lower my expectations. However, I did feel a piece of my soul missing when only 4 sides came out. I'm spoiled and I'm used to my 6-8 sides. We ordered a bottle of chamisul to wash that pain away. When the soondubu came out, it wasn't piping hot. You should literally see it boiling when it's served so the egg you crack in it can cook in the soup. The samgyupsal was a little wimpy. Was this pig like an anorexic model? I'm used to this cut being like hefty opera singer belting a statement. They did serve it with some nice lettuce and gojuchang. We finished everything and then ordered some extra calbi, LA cut. Moo.
All in all this place was descent but I'm still on the hunt for that best Korean in Montreal. Looking forward to tasting some more!
