Maru

I tried their hot stone bibimbap, and it was one of the worst I tried in Montréal.
There was no «hot» in the hot stone bibimbap, so it wasn’t really authentic in my opinion. (I’m Korean so I know how Korean bibimbap should be done.) Was it just the time I visited? At Maru, the bibimbap was more vegetable oriented, which many people may appreciate and like, but I wasn’t a huge fan. I wanted the traditional marinated beef in my bibimbap, but there was none, and instead there were lots of vegetables. It was alright, but I guess I was expecting beef.

I can’t believe anyone would say it’s a good place. Anyone that says so does not know food at all. Most horrible Korean food I have ever ate.
Service was the worst ever. After ordering and waiting for food for 1 hour the waitress came back asking if we ordered. She had forgotten. At the end only 1 of 2 tofu soup arrived and we had to leave.

Le soondubu joue bien l’équilibre des épices et la mesure du tofu. Le ragoût laisse une impression riche et réconfortante. Servi dans un marmiton, j’hésite à la hâte la première bouchée puisque le suc bouille toujours. À la fois soucieux, le serveur se veut aussi un peu gêné dans son approche. Charmant.

really nice interior– warm and cozy and family feeling. Pretty good for a drab building off the highway
Menu is good standard
very friendly staff
happy with the stirfry dish I got. Extremely salty but enjoyed. will go back hopefully a few times

Can’t believe Montréal have this good tasting Korean place.
Passed by this place several times but finally deceived to try it after my friend recommended it.
The exterior looked old and unwelcoming, but the interior was warm and clean.
We ordered seafood tofu soup, kimchi pancake, beef stew, bibibum and raw tofu with sauce. Everything tasted so good.
Definitely will come back if I was in mood for Korean.
Also, there service was fantastic!

Hey we just finished eating at a modest looking Resto but they serve amazing Korean food
Best part is the chef
He walks around we can talk to him and place the order after listening to how he will prepare the meal
I had a wonderful silky tofu soup with seafood and a soft poached egg on top
Hot and spicy and it really warmed us up
Next were small tapas sized plated of fried kimchi, sweet potatoes, and a couple of other delicious delicacies
And the main was super tasty beef ribs
Mmmmm they are a treat
The rice sides were pink colored and the taste was like eating rice with cotton candy
Luckily we had room to Shaw a bowl of red bean ice cream
And a few slices of fresh apples
Great food and very moderate pricing
Nice ambiance quiet and peaceful music
Enjoy this place

Super tasty tteokbokki appetizer.
They need to make an main-​sized version of it, I’d stuff my facehole with that on a regular basis.
The jeyuk bokkeum was good too, just not spicy enough for us.
But when we told our waiter he assured us that he will remember us & next time we visit it will be much spicier… Score!
Oh and they have a terrace, so summery Korean food moments are an option.

I usually go to Hwang Kum for authentic Korean food but decided to try Restaurant Maru with my family. The food was very authentic and they serve up seconds for the kimchi entrees. The seafood pancake was great (even though I’m not a fan of seafood). I had the beef stew and it was very flavorful (a tad salty) but I took the rest home and stirred it in noodles and was totally awesome! Definitely recommend :)
