Service was one of the better things about this restaurant. Our server was attentive quick and the food came out fairly fast after ordering. Restaurant has a lot of small tables and is better for smaller groups and you can squeeze multiple people into the smaller tables as long as you let your server know that you're fine with squeezing in. It's got a fun vibe to it with nice decor and maybe a good place to go to hang out with your friends and grab some drinks.

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.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute Korean restaurant with tasty…read morefood. Attentive service. The Long Version: My husband and I had lunch here and it was great. My husband felt like having a few appetizers for his meal, so he got fried pork dumplings ($5), vegetable imperial rolls ($6) and Dakgangjung ($7) which was fried chicken pieces in sauce. I got the dumpling soup ($12). I really enjoyed my soup. It had a good amount of dumplings in it and the broth was an egg drop soup with shredded carrots and zucchini. The broth was flavourful and not too salty. And the dumplings were plump and filled with ground meat, vermicelli noodles and vegetables. I had a piece of my husband's fried chicken appetizer and it was delicious. I also tried one of his fried dumplings, which tasted similar to the dumplings in my soup, only deep fried instead of boiled. I didn't have any of the imperial rolls but he seemed to enjoy them. There was only one server for the entire restaurant but he did fantastic job. He was very attentive and refilled our waters as soon as our glasses were empty. He checked in on us and our food was served in a timely manner. He was attentive but never intrusive. I was thoroughly impressed. Laon Restaurant used to be on Rue St. Denis but they moved to Ave du Parc in 2023. I don't remember what used to be at this location, but I think it was an Indian restaurant. The restaurant has a homey feeling and I did notice that despite it being April during our visit, they had some Halloween and Christmas decorations still up, lol. And some autumn/Thanksgiving stuff too. That gave me the idea of having all festive decorations up all the time at our house. I'm talking New Years (both Western/Gregorian and Lunar), Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas year-round. My husband nixed that idea pretty quick. Lol. I found this a bit amusing at the restaurant but also strangely endearing. It's a lovely spot that feels genuine in heart. Review #71 (2025)

We had such high hopes for this Korean restaurant in the middle of downtown Montreal, but it was…read moreultimately a letdown. Firstly though, the setting is great, because it looks like a converted house compete with moldings and a fireplace in the main dining room. Service is no frills. Where they really let me down was the food: the pork in the sweet and sour pork was stiff and dry, yellow radish didn't have a drop of juice which I have never experienced before, and I could count on one hand the number of pieces of beef in the japchae dish = skimping. It's unlikely that Chez Bong will be at the top of my list next time I crave a Korean fix, but I hope they continue to improve. I wish them well.

I came with a Korean coworker who had seen great reviews about Chez Bong. He got the jajangmyeon…read moreand said it was okay but missing something. I got the half and half wings (half plain and half saucy). The wings are really crispy however the plain is actually plain - there's no salt or seasoning on it. The saucy ones were sweet and tangy but because of the light breading, the wings got soggy quickly. Overall just okay.

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.

The area offered a wide selection of Asian restaurants and dessert places. We walked in during a weekend lunch rush and waited for a few minutes before being seated. The same gentleman who seated us also took our order and helped bring out some of the items we ordered. The restaurant was packed during our visit, with few to no empty tables. The vibe was lively and service was very good. They were very fast to bring out dishes which was a huge plus if you are hungry. The not too bad downside was they were slow on removing dishes and finished plates. Those piled up quickly when you order a lot of things to try. Although not the best Korean restaurant I have been too, it is still very good. I would say mid tier. The grill selection was limited as well as the available appetizers and noodles and soups. I enjoyed the side dishes that come with your meals and this restaurant offered a few good ones. Personally, if I visited again, I would try a different in the area. Overall, good. See my pictures.
