What sets this place apart is the atmosphere. The owner plays Laufey's music-- soothing and perfect for this kind of food and snacks.

Why do you eat out? Perhaps there's no energy to cook today. Maybe there's a celebratory occasion…read morewith friends. Maybe there's a viral new restaurant with the most beautiful interior. Or maybe we want to feel cared for. On those days, people tend to look for comforting flavours that are down to earth, simple dishes. These restaurants often get undeservingly relegated to a lower category. We don't dress up to go there, we don't take as many selfies. But why? Is it because the interior is kitscht or "cheap"? Because there's no lobster or dollop of caviar? What if I told you that inside a little shaby restaurant was real, honest, painstackingly well prepared food? Laon is a special little gem that moved into the Milton-Parc neighbourhood, near a street corner that sometimes gets rough. It took over a restaurant that changed hands several times in the past, and still carries inside the remnents of its other cultural memories. The man that owns it, Jinsoo (Steven), seems a bit shy and does not speak English very much. But his care is immense. The neatness of that space, of each item placed for you to use, translates in gestures gratefulness, kindness and hope. The dishes are simple, homemade comfort classics of Korea. But done well, very well. They speak of the relief of getting home after a rough day at work, or of visiting parents after a long school semester away. They speak their own language, in the tenderness of the zucchini that is cooked just right, the small bowl of fluffy rice where each grain is distinct yet slightly clingy, the golden brown edges of the onions, bell peppers and beef in the cheolpan that are expertly even. At Laon, I said thank you and I meant it from the bottom of my heart. P.S. Prices are amazing. P.P.S. Just go.

Petite musique cozie, banquette et des plantes suspendus. J'y suis allez pour le brunch, le menu du souper est diffèrent. J'ai pris un café coréen glacé et noir, excellent J'ai gouté au poulet frit Dangsu avec divers légumes grillés. Je reconmande très copieux. En a coté j'ai prit un riz avec Namul.

They have a set lunch menu. I picked sweet and sour crispy eggplant. It comes in a tray with a…read moresalad, two side dishes, rice with mountain vegetables, and a dessert. Originally, the dessert was panna cotta, but they switched to fruits to make it vegan. The dishes were rather sweet (the salad dressing, the dried fruit kimchi, the eggplants). The side dishes included sesame oil-seasoned greens and dried fruits seasoned in sweet gochujang. The vegetable rice had a fragrant taste of sesame oil, which made it more appetizing. I liked the fresh fruits for dessert.

Excellent Korean Fried Chicken, you could do a lot worse. Very small restaurant which becomes…read morepacked very quickly, simple tables and chairs no decor but boy, does the food speak for itself! I tried the spicy pork as well and that was excellent too ( and they didn't skimp on the heat factor at all!) Service is quick and friendly, it seems to be run by a young team. You cant miss this place, it's literally across the street from the Verdun Hospital and you can easily pack this chicken for a picnic over at the Verdun Beach which is literally 2 minutes away. Good stuff!

Ordered the Kimchi Jeon to share which is a Korean pancake with kimchi and bacon, it took a really long time to make but it was worth it! Very delicious. I ordered the Salmon teriyaki which came with rice and vegetables on the size and the portion is very big. I couldn't finish it all. I thought the salmon was missing something but the rest was delicious. My date got the Jeyuk Jungsik, pork and mushrooms with stir fry vegetables and rice. He enjoyed it as well! All of our meals came out sizzling which I love.

Good Korean food but nothing exceptional. The samgyeopsal (pork belly, kimchi, rice) was good but…read morelacked in taste. It was just fried pork belly with abit of kimchi and sauce on the side. It would have been better if the pork, kimchi and sauce were all stir fried together. Hukbaegi bulgogi was delicious, a very comforting bowl of stew with lots of meat, glass noodles and vegetables. The takoyaki were ok, very liquidy inside.

The staff is so welcoming and congenial, and the place is completely unpretentious. The Japchae I had was very filling, but maybe I would have preferred it with chicken? - if I remember well, we get to choose. The ssam is their main dish. They install the grill in front of you, fill it up, and your waiter takes care of the rest, so you get a show and a meal! I'll admit it can get awkward and silent, if I could change one thing about it, it would be the amount of meat that it includes, I can't help it, I want more!. Still, I have always loved going there, I can't bring myself to take a star away because of that..

It's our last night here in Montreal and it took us nearly all day to decide what we wanted to eat…read morefor dinner. Finally we agreed on Jako. We placed a to-go order for Bulgogi Yaki Udon and Chicken Katsu Curry. The Bulgogi Yaki Udon consists of marinated beef sirloin, garlic mayo, a poached egg over stir fried udon noodles. The Chicken Katsu Curry consists of curry sauce with sautéed onion and mushroom served with rice, cabbage salad, egg salad and miso soup. I absolutely loved my hubby's Bulgogi Yaki Udon. The noddles were thick, chewy and creamy. The beef was sliced perfectly with an amazing flavor. It also was some of the most tender beef I've ever had. My chicken Katsu was good but not better than my hubby's food. The Katsu was perfectly fried and the chicken was tender. I wasn't a fan of the egg salad. I didn't try the miso soup. Also the rice needed a hint of salt. It was blander than bland. I preferred his food over mine.
