La Maison du Seoul

We love this little local place. Homestyle Korean food, friendly service. The kimchi is outstanding and we love the bimbibap.

Korean cuisine is absolutely epic! Epic flavours and epic presentations … of epic proportions. This is an ancient and time tested to perfection sort of cooking.
As a vegetarian dining at a Korean BBQ joint I am always thankful when I leave stuffed, satiated and pleased beyond belief.
A brief tutorial: Panch’an is the general umbrella term that refers to the small side dishes that are served with any Korean meal. Kimchi is an integral part of the dining experience as it damn well should be. Kimchi is oh so good! Who knew cabbage could be so interesting? Namul falls under the category of panch’an but consists of those side dishes that involve vegetables. They are absolutely delicious. The simplicity, subtlety and diversity of flavours hints at the unique and ancient quality of these recipes. My favourite namul is the kongnamul which is a beautiful bean sprout marinated in sesame oil and rice wine vinegar with black pepper. Musaengchae is chicory tossed in a savoury hot pepper and sesame. Gogumasum is boiled potato in a light sweet vinegar. Oi sobagi are these delicious seasoned cucumbers. Mmm my mouth is watering just at the thought of them. They come complimentary with your meal and traditionally are unlimited … so unbuckle that belt and prepare to feast!
If you want to stay for a main dish and not just dine and dash on excellent and free side dishes then you really must order the vegetarian dolsot bibimbap! This is the archetype of warming and scrumptious down home comfort food. It’s a hot stone bowl that cooks your meal right in front of your eyes. Imagine a perfectly cooked bed of wild rice; soft yet crisp on the edges. Then all the vegetables you could imagine piled sky high then topped with an egg like a cherry on top. Add your Korean hot sauce to taste and /​or the especially burn-​your-​mouth-​off pepper concoction which they make just for themselves and yours truly. Mix it up and let it cook as you eat and enjoy!
Get the ginseng tea with the deep fried green tea ice cream afterwards.
Enjoy!

Trip 4
A small family run Korean restaurant in Westmount. Clean with friendly service. Started with a typical lettuce salad with Wafu-​like dressing and a small bowl of miso soup with spinach and tofu. We had four side dishes inclusing kimchi, lettuce kimchi, coleslaw and soy sauce potatoes. Not the most amazing side dishes. We had a small seafood pancake which they burned but was quite tasty. If only it wasn’t burnt, it would have been amazing. We ordered the bibimbap and the beef stir fry with rice. Very generous portions. The beef stir was bland with poor presentation. The bibimbap was quite well done with all the toppings of what you’d expect. One question I have is why they don’t have Pork Backbone soup?
Overall it was a typical Korean restaurant without any frills or special dishes.

This quaint little place is an authentic homestyle Korean restaurant located near Vendome. It’s not in the most convenient of neighborhoods but if you have the time do try it out.
To start off, their side dishes are especially delicious. I’m a big fan of the sweet potatoes and the kimchi. As for the main dishes the hot pot bibimbap is what they are known for. It costs a few dollars more than the normal bibimbap, but it’s also that much better. The rice comes crisp on the side surrounding a bed of fresh vegetables topped with an egg. Very filling.
The restaurant is a little quiet but the staff is very nice and helpful when you talk to them. The prices are also very fair.

I have not, at any time, been indisposed of objectionable experiences in any korean establishment in Montréal. Thus, I hold dearly the same prejudice toward this restaurant. Generous with Panch’an, they will fill them up throughout your meal. Kind gesture.

I really loved this place. Open late, friendly atmosphere, generous portions of well-​made homestyle Korean food. I got the bibimbap (which they make with chicken!), and I was treated to a steaming bowl of fresh veggies and delicious hot sauce.

I’ll round up to 5 from my score of 4.5. It’s BYOB so it gets extra points. 7 of us had 9 bottles and the waitress was kind enough to keep come opening them. She wasn’t over the moon that we were still seated 30 minutes after closing but she didn’t rush us out so props to her. 4 of us had the BBQ, 2 had soups and I had the appetizer sized Kampungi (essentially it’s like general Tao but more delicious) rice and spring rolls. One of the soups was still boiling on the table ten minutes later. Fresh and delicious Kimchi, we never figured out what that potato salad was all about. Shrimp and chicken dumplings were also delightful. Only negative points are that the dishes on the table weren’t cleared off timely at all, water glasses weren’t filled once past the initial welcome. Great location and balanced quality for a fair price, add in BYOB with no corking fee and you have a winner.

I’m not sure why this place doesn’t have more 5-​star reviews, given that the content of all the other reviews is stating how amazing this place is.
When you order a main dish, they first start you off with a salad (iceberg lettuce, but the dressing is delicious!), followed by miso soup (with tofu, and what appears to be spinach), followed by three side dishes (a marinated potato dish, a spicy kale dish, and kimchee… I might be forgetting a fourth!). By the time my main course comes, I’m never that hungry (and the main courses are HUGE!) but somehow always seem to manage.
The only drawback I found to this place is that the kimchee is really salty. But that’s not enough to take off a star, and the rest of the food is amazing.
I’ve been here twice so far, but haven’t made it past the beef hot bowls to try something else. I will next time! The first time I came, the place was slammed but the waiters were so friendly and attentive.

Super sympa: les serveurs/​euses sont gentils et attentionnés, la bouffe est succulente et variées, les portions sont vraiment généreuses, particulièrement compte tenu du prix, et toutes les petites entrées qui viennent avec sont délicieuses. Il y a une petite terrasse, et c’est un apportez votre vin. Vraiment ce resto a tout pour lui. SI vous êtes dans le quartier allez y faire un tour!
Pour les non-​initiés je conseille le dolsot bibimbap, ou, si vous aimez les fèves noires ou êtes végétarien/​né, le young yang dolsotbap, tous deux cuits et servis dans un bol en pierre chaude (d’où «dolsot»), des délices!

Extremely reasonably priced!
I ordered one of the main dishes thinking, at $ 11, it would make a light dinner. Since I was hungry I thought I’d better order an appetizer — shrimp & vegetable tempura (a weakness).
The waitress brought me a salad, then a soup, then my appetizer and then, once I was done, four side dishes to go with the meal… followed by the meal. I ate too much — for under $ 20 for dinner. Outstanding (the price not eating too much)!
It’s authentic Korean and both the waitress and the man I took to be the owner or manager were very polite and helpful.

Only place in Montréal I found that does hwe dup bap and they do it very well too! Could be more generous with the pan chan but overall quite good — we shared a main dish — was enough for lunch!

Authentic Korean restaurant, recommend by my Korean friends. I like the way they serve rice in a thick-​wall hot stone bowl.

This place doesn’t look like much from the outside (mostly because it is on the edge of Westmount where everything looks a bit fancy), but it is nice enough inside and has good service. The food was great and you can bring your own wine (with no corkage — which is not all that uncommon in Montréal, but not being from here it’s always a delight). My dolsot bibimbap was delicious. My sister, who had been here several times previously and brought me here because she likes it so much, really enjoyed here dish as well.

I liked the food like kimchi and the other banchans.
I believe It’s the best korean restaurant in Montréal island as a korean.

Really nice staff good quality for basic dishes.
Calorie counters will find stuff on menu such as soft tofu soup.
Wasn’t a fan of the BBQ but seems popular
Their bibimpbaps are really good
BYOB
GO here

A friend showed me this place and we have become regulars. Small and simple but good Korean grill.

Returned the other day for the famous BBQ and it was delicious!!! The service is great as well!
