Hwang Kum

We are into trying new foods from different countries. This week was Korean. Reading multiple reviews on line we picked Hwang Kum. The reviews were pretty right on. Except you need to know what to order. We didn't. So we saw that everyone was ordering the Seafood Pancake. It was delicious. It is a definite must. It's a bit pricey but we'll worth the money. It's filled with thinly sliced veggies and lots of seafood. We then tried the Jokbal. It was ok. Wouldn't order it again. It is served cold and was very fatty. We also ordered the Dak Bulgogi which is served with a small bowl of rice. Not what I expected. But it was good. Not too spicy even though it stated spicy on the menu.Service was good considering how busy it was. Very friendly. courteous and accommodating.Since this restaurant is only open from 6pm to 10pm either come at 5:45 or after 8pm. We arrived at 6:15 and waited almost 1 hour before we were seated. The line was out the door.All in all I recommend this place . Next time we go we will order differently.

Not very flavourful...I cook way better than they do...

An absolutely must visit when it comes to authentic Korean cuisine. Every single dish was flavourful. The Banchan were homemade and tasted equally great. The staffs were friendly, the ambiance was nice and welcoming. Come early if you don't want to wait for too long, there's always a line up to get in.

This place was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Amazing food! I don't have anything negative to say about this restaurant. It's small, comfortable, with great service and huge portions. Highly recommend.

Really amazing Korean food, probably the best I've had so far in Canada. Had Korean food in other countries and this one is the best too. Definitely recommend.Fair prices for the quality.

This spot is the epitome of a classic mom and pop restaurant. I came here for the first time on my visit to Montreal and just fell in love with the quality of the food. I returned back here and the food was just as great. In fact, when I think of Montreal, I think of the delicious seafood pancake made here! Both times I’ve ordered the seafood pancake and the black cold noodle.Seafood pancake: It’s quite different from other Korean restaurants. The ones they make here I believe has some mung beans which adds texture and a different flavor to the batter. It’s also super crispy, which is certainly a MUST with seafood pancakes.Black cold noodles: the texture! Oh boy, it is so chewy and the bite to these noodles are “bouncy” and so flavorful.The side dishes are also plentiful, but be warned to pace yourself. :) Unlike some other Korean restaurants they don’t provide complimentary refills (which is totally understandable).Yes, it can be busy here, but it’s totally worth the wait.

This is a tiny Korean restaurant. We always have to wait at the door right before its starts or else there would be no more table. The service is great and their cuisine is merited to be mentioned. Their seafood package is the best I have tried so far in Montreal. Overall quite good, 4 stars.

The best korean pancake you can get at any restaurant. Super crispy and comes sizzling hot. The beef rIbs were delicious despite the bone pieces being hard to chew.The bachan was also good, really enjoyed the cucumbers and the bean sprouts. The warm mushroom soup was great too.All and all, the best korean restaurant in Montreal.

Delicious Korean restaurant with friendly service. They don't take reservations first come first serve and a small dining room seating about 30-40 so you might have to wait during busy periods but it's worth it. All the classics including bibimbap, bulgogi and definitely try the haemul pajeon basically a delicious seafood omelet.
