We came, we devoured, we left in a food coma. Need I say more? Korean. Fried. Chicken. That's all there is to it, and boy did they do it justice. The staff was kind enough to point out to me that yangnyeom (sweet and spicy) chicken was elsewhere on the menu when I couldn't find it and instead almost ordered a plain/original chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce on the side which would have cost a few extra bucks, so here's my (once again) massive thanks. The food here is impeccably authentic, down to the chilled radish and slaw. And the ambiance? A massive screen playing k-pop (even though I couldn't care less about it), and the minimal decor somehow gave the space a homey feel, and for KFC, that's really all I need. I hope they stay open for a lifetime. read more

Excellent food every time!! For years my favourite item to order has remained Hot & Spicy Chicken with Cheese (Boneless Chicken with Fried Rice Cakes). It's one the spiciest things you will ever eat but keeps you craving for more!! Also love their Fried Vegetable Dumplings!! Excellent portions, quality and prices!! read more

We were famished after a busy day so we decided to check out a Korean place, Mon Ami, for a late night dinner. It's BYOB! They have two other locations (another on Somerled and other on Sherbrooke). Interesting that the other Somerled location does Korean BBQ. We dropped in on a Friday evening (around 9:00pm). The place wasn't too busy so we were able to grab seats right away. There's three tables on their patio that looked like a perfect spot outside. The menu is split into KFC (three kinds), meals/soup/noodles, lunch and dessert. - Banchan - we got five side dishes; kimchi, coleslaw, seaweed salad, pickled radish and daikon. Seaweed salad was my favourite. - Kimbap (#41) ($6.99) - Korean style sushi. Decent. - Japchae (#52) ($9.99) - this was a small portion of noodles. - Fried chicken (#1) ($12.49 half) - there were 5 pieces of KFC in our basket. Lightly fried, not greasy and moist, tender chicken. Good but it was a bit plain; I'd get it with a sauce next time. - Bulgogi (#22) ($15.99) - comes with a side of rice. The beef was flavourful and oh so tender. - Bulgogi dolsot bibimbap (#23) ($12.99) - we got the fried egg on the side. The hot stone bibimbap was great. Nice and crispy rice. Add the gojumchang to taste. - Spicy pork dolsot bibimbap (#23) ($11.99) - first one was so good we ordered another one with spicy pork. Solid comfort style Korean eats. 3.5 stars. read more

Cozy, no frills, family owned restaurant. They put an emphasis on service and the quality of their food is great. There are no reservations but we did not have to wait when we arrived on Saturday night around 7pm. They begin with a small plate of complementary appetizers (seaweed salad, kimchi and picked cabbage). Our fried chicken and vegetable dumplings arrived at this time as well. As I said, very hot and flavourful! We then shared the bbq beef and stir fried pork. These were my favourite dishes and came with rice. We also had the ramen and hot pot bulgogi soup which had great flavour but were not so filling and I was glad to have ordered the appetizers. Although our food didn't all arrive at the table at the same time, it was fresh and hot when it did. I also still don't know if this restaurant is byob or not, it was not obvious and I forgot to ask while we were there. read more

If you are in the mood for fried chicken but don't want KFC look no further!! After I eat KFC I honestly feel like crap but I don't feel like that after I eat here. There chicken is so good and not overly greasy! Also it's a BYOB so its awesome! I like to get a regular fried chicken and order the sauces on the side to dip. It's slightly cheaper to do so. If you like the sauces already on the chicken it becomes a bit like a general tao The plate of fries is huge! The fries are crispy and super long and super hot! I once tried their hot & spicy chicken with cheese and I was dying! Avoid at all costs! I love spicy and I could not handle it! The waitress warned me it was very spicy and I was like yeah don't worry about it! lol I've been here a few times and I will definitely keep bringing people here. The food is good and it's fun to drink and get your hands dirty! read more

Mon Ami is pretty good Korean food on Somerled! They were able to accommodate my request to make two of their items vegan. They made an amazing dish of homemade udon noodles in black bean sauce. That black bean sauce is umami as fuck and it is so very silky and complex. They made two very delectable vegetarian bibimbaps. I do miss my Dolsot Bibimbap but I'll have to wait until COVID-19 restrictions are lifted to have a steaming and crackling stone bowl in person. Mmm I miss that stone bowl; it just cooks your rice to crispy perfection and makes your veggies taste delectably smoky. Anywho, they also make a pretty kickass Japchay. And the yellow kimchi was amazing. read more

Quite possibly one of the better Korean restaurants in the greater Montréal area. If you're coming here, the best thing to get is the fried chicken. This is their specialty and you definitely won't regret it. According to my friend, this was best-fried chicken he had eaten in his entire life. Ordered the tofu stew (soondubu) and was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful and tasty it was. I've been to my fair share of Korean restaurants in my lifetime and this was definitely one of the tastiest tofu stews I've had in awhile. A surprising little gem tucked away in NDG, don't overlook this place! Every time I recommend it to a friend, they always come back. Also, they're BYOB which is a delightful surprise considering they're right across from the SAQ haha. Bring a group of friends for some tasty fried chicken and beer. Unpretentious place with Korean comfort food to warm the soul, I'd highly recommend! read more

Decided to check this place out today for lunch as I saw they had the lunch special. The girl was nice and sweet, mentioned that it was my first time here; she gave me some recommendations on what to have. She did mention that they're more famous for their fried chicken but I finally decided to go for the bibimbap. It was delicious. Loved the presentation of the food. I had my first bite and I really liked it. It was piping hot and spicy. I enjoyed the consistency and it did fill me up. The portions are quite huge. I even thought for take out but finished it all in the end. The restaurant was quite empty but the service was great and the food is amazing. I would definitely recommend it for the Korean food lovers as they have a variety of specialities on their menu. I would come back for their fried chicken next time! :) read more

Mon Ami - Somerled - Just eat it ;) - Korean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Alright I've been hearing about this place for way to long and we decided to come and check it out. I actually enjoy the shared tables however our table was shared with a family that was clearly very sick - and that's just not enjoyable at any cost. The restaurant was packed and it's only a 2h dining service. First order we got the usual stuff you would get to bbq. some vegetables, assorted meats ect.. I love the concept of cooking your own food it literally takes forever so just order some egg rolls before hand so you have a snack while you cook And then we ordered the fried chicken and when that arrived to my table... oh man! it almost felt like the heaven of gods opened the gates and shined so bright on those fried delicious chickens - I was in heaven for about 10 minutes while eating this insanely delicious chicken. That's all I wanted I couldn't care less about the experience I had .. THIS chicken was all the experience I needed! Ofcourse I wanted to order 10 more orders but they were sold out .. I think I may have cried a little lol. However I did hear that theres another local of mon amie that sells mainly THAT and it comes with sauces and what not. I'm definitely excited for that chicken. Overall it's a great place for Korean bbq! read more

MUST TRY!!! Well worth the travel. In a vibrant and bustling city, this little restaurant is definitely a gem to mine. Each and every time, we have yet to be disappointed. Service is fast and straight to the point, food is uncomplicated yet leave a lasting impression that leave us wanting more. This is simplicity at its best. I've only ever came back for one thing - their original fried chicken is the best of its kind, an experience I've yet to match anywhere else I've dined before. Their fried chicken is perfection. The meat is perfectly seasoned to the bones, skin so light and flakey yet sported a wicked crisp. The meat is impeccably tender and moist; even the oh-so-often undesirable white meat was delightful enjoyed. Price, quality, and taste unmatched by none. We ordered 2 whole chicken for 4 diners, which left us at a good spot. There are a variety of different dipping sauces at a charge (we all favoured the spicy sweet sauce and the soy garlic). Overall, I would make the drive from Toronto to Montreal again, just for another order of this. Overall, the best fried chicken hands down, bar-none. MUST TRY!!! read more

Verrrryyyy slow wait and service throughout the night. We waited about 30-40mins to be seated (we were a group of 3 at around 7pm on a Thursday night). There were only 2 employees working all tables and the cash so yeah, makes sense that service was slow. After we put in our order, the waiter informed us that kimchi is extra for $1 whereas at the Downtown location, it was complimentary. The food was delicious but not as good as the Downtown one (probably because they have so many more employees so the food comes out faster). Loved the hot stir-fried rice cake - not too spicy, the vegetable dumplings, the kimchi, but the highlight is that friend chicken yum! We got a whole fried chicken shared between 3 and we were in a food coma by the end of it. read more

Great fried chicken, yummy sauces, chicken was not dry at all and was very fresh. The quality is exactly as expected from Mon ami fried chicken and I was not disappointed. I came here twice and my fav sauce was garlic honey. I always order other food to accompany the fried chicken, and they were always delicious. Service was a bit slow but overall good. read more

Read about the good reviews for their fried chicken so came to try. Went for the half fried chicken with sweet garlic sauce. The chicken was super crispy from the outside and juicy inside. Not dry like most fried chicken places. Also had the japchae, bibimbap and seafood pancake which were just ok. Definitely would come back for the fried chicken. read more

One of my really good friends brought me here and told me it was the best fried chicken ever. We were 4 on a Sunday night (October 2nd 2016) and we got a table right away. However around 6:30, people had to wait x 1 hour to get a table. I said in a previous review I really enjoy Korean food. This restaurant is over 30 min away from my place, but seriously, it was worth it !!! It cost about 50$ per couple, and we really really ate too much. We preffered the garlic chicken to the regular one. Absolutely loved the potato noodles (transparent one!!) Bugangi beef was really good too. I can't really give back comments, coz It was one of the best korean i ever had it's a BYOW, we didn't know before going. Will definitely go back. read more

Do not make the mistake like I did twice! I went to the one on Saint-Catherine thinking it was the AYCE bbq it wasn't, we actually walked out. Now I went to this one and it STILL wasnt the one I was looking for. This time we stayed. Now I know its the other location on the same street. I suspect they have a different standard for spicyness because I was dying. Everything was delicious though, but so spicy! We had the sweet and spicy fried chicken, some bulgogi soup, the little red rice sticks and some fried dumplings. The soup was amazing, so tasty and different than Pho. The reason I have 2 stars for service is that they gave us the wrong bill. With all the commotion at the front door I didnt check right away. We ended up paying close to 10$ more than what we were supposed to. read more

Always the very best friend chicken here. Never disappointed! SO Crunchy!!! Totally inviting, awesome staff. Pop in and try their entire vast and delicious menu. Be aware the bathrooms are downstairs and not accessible to most folks with mobility issues.. STILL WORTH GOING. read more

Awesome fried chicken!!! Get the saucy one!! The plain one is bit dry but still better than most places!! I went in summer time, it is good to have an open window concept. But it was a bit hot in a hot day to eat spicy Korean food. I suggest to not being cheap in electricity bill and provide a comfortable environment for customer to eat. Aside from fried chicken, the other dishes are decent. Nothing special, other Korean place has more favorable sane dishes. But the fried chicken is still worth to go for! read more

Its my first review about this place but i have been there many many times! Nice little place serving real asian comfort food. Their specialty is the fried chicken. Im a huge fried chicken fan and i tried it at many place and this place got me hooked! One of my favorite place for this delicacy in montreal :) The breading is rice based and it does give a nice crunchy and not greasy, that is why i like it. The chicken has a little spicy seasoning in it which is a nice touch. The bibimbap and tofu stew are really good but the fried chicken is a MUST. I tried southern style fried chicken in the states my places and this korean restaurant is on the top of my list :) Its a BYOW too which is nice to have beer and chicken. Conclusion: you have to try this place if have not and im Coming back for sure! happy belly read more

Mon Ami - Somerled - Bibimbap tofu stew fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We were in Montreal for two days, and our only food priority was really to try some poutine...the rest of our itinerary was blank. So, when searching restaurans, we thought trying some cuisine in the "Koreatown" of Quebec sounded good. It turned out to be the best meal of the stay. Our group of four ordered bulgogi (beef) hot pot soup, seafood/green onion fried pancake, 12 pieces of Korean fried chicken, and ramen (we added bulgogi for an extra $3). The "appetizer" we received was in the form of three toppings: cabbage, kimchi, and turnip. The turnip was surprisingly good to eat alone. We loved how the fried chicken arrived with a cute little trash can for the bones. The pieces were pretty small, but every bite was packed with tender, crispy goodness. Luckily there was an ample supply of napkins. The ramen was slightly spicy and salty with thin noodles. The bulgogi in the soup was also good, but the rest of the dish was underwhelming. There were just a few cheap vegetables and glass noodles. The seafood pancake was the best! It had pieces of scallop, shrimp, and other unidentifiable yummy things. Although it look super fried, it tasted light and not excessively oily. Highly recommended. All throughout, our server was very patient and understanding. Even as he escorted other customers to their seats, he still was attentive and welcoming. If we're ever in the area again, we will come back! read more

This is my first review ever. Just to show how disappointed i was with the food and service. Definitely not worth the price considering my fried chicken tasted liked microwaved general tao chicken but that was left to get cold. No need to add more as i could say the same about the ramen and veggies. At least the cup of rice was decent read more

Went to the "6290 Avenue Somerled, Montréal, QC H3X 2B6" location. What a pleasant surprise. Definitely wasn't expecting a cafeteria take-out-ish decor, but this does not make the food any less tasty. Like 90% of all Korean restaurants I've been to you have to expect the K-pop music video's playing from a tv in the background, although barely audible. Tried the Fried chicken as well as the Bulgogi (beef) Bibimbap. I really enjoyed the chicken, with a wasabi sauce (extra 2$).Crispy on the outside moist on the inside with a slight zing. I'm warning you the whole chicken serving is definitely as advertised, "One Whole Chicken". The Bulgogi was fine, but I think this had more to do with the fact that I ate all the chicken before I even started on the Bibimbap. Staff were very friendly. I can't forget to mention the complimentary side dishes. Pickled daikon, cabbage and onions, kimchi cabbage. I'm a big fan of pickled vegetables and I have to say these were very fresh and crispy. I can't be sure they were made in house but they definitely tasted that way, This a BYOW joint, an SAQ is across the street. If you come after the SAQ closes, there's a CoucheTard at the end of the street. read more

Two words: HOT DAMN! That's right I said it ;-) Alright,the actual two words I wanted to use were: FRIED CHICKEN! Followed closely by BYOW,enough said people. My girl Cat D. suggested it & she hasn't steered me wrong yet,so off I went. I've just moved back from the southern USA & if I learned anything there,it's how to tell lip smacking well seasoned fried chicken from the KFC/PFK stuff. It's clean,has K-pop music videos playing on the TV & takes reservations if you can get anyone to answer the phone. Did I mention it's a BYOW? Just making sure. Staff is amicable but are easily distracted & not always attentive but they get really talkative if you use kakao talk. Prices are good for what you get. Word to the wise,don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach. The 10.99$ fried chicken comes with 7 pieces. The food is delicious. I don't mess with a good thing & I always go for the fried chicken without any sauce,I heard that they are too sweet. It's moist & crisped to perfection on the outside. I have been tempted to try the oven baked chicken as well. The mandu (fried dumplings) are good but I've had better. The seafood & green onion pancake is worth it. The bibimbap has a decent amount of bulgogi in it. Thinking of trying to the corn cheese next time I pop in. On the flip side,the ramen is meh & I wish they had more of the small side options that they bring before your meal is served. Definitely worth going out of your way to stop by but not on Tuesdays,there are closed on Tuesdays. read more

Not much more to add than what was already said. I also preferred Mon Ami to Dawa. The fried chicken is so crispy, it's off the hook yum. I also had Bibimbap and the amount of beef in it was the most generous out of all the Korean places I've visited in Montreal (Chez Bong, Ganadara, Kantapia, a place near Decarie, and several others, the names of which escape me). The flavoring is really on the spot and the staff is super sweet. At first glance, the prices of some plates (such as the specialties and the fried chicken) look expensive, but then you see the huge portions. Our small order of chicken for $10.99 was actually 7 pieces of medium sized meat. Very generous. Love this place! read more

The place is very spacious, but my friends and I sat at the patio since it was an absolutely beautiful day. I was told this place has amazing fried chicken! It's a little further away from downtown, but my friend drove a few of our friends here to eat. I ended up ordering pork and kimchi soup. I didn't really like my pork and kimchi soup that much, but the chicken was VERY good. Crispy with sweet and garlic sauce was definitely a good choice for me. The price of the dishes are also very good - I think my soup order was $8. That isn't too bad compared to other locations. Their side dishes are slightly more disappointing though - there was a lot of radishes and cucumbers, along with kimchi of course. What I did find really impressive was the service. Our waiter was a star and highlight of the night. He was so polite, knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and so forth! I'd definitely return here. read more

Awesome ! I had fried chicken and pig's feet for dinner with my friends. Those are super , super delicious. Chicken is really crispy and well- seasoned. If you want to try real korean style chicken, you should try this restaurant. I'm sure that you love it. For pig's feet, well cooked, comes with two kinds of sauce and leek kimchi. The texture is kinda chewy, actually I don't know exactly how I can say that in english. Anyway pig's feet is also really nice as well. Also they serve generous portion I think. Washroom is very clean. That is one of the most important point when I recommend sone restaurant to my friends. Staffs are super friendly and serve kindly their customers. I strongly recommend this place :D read more
