Chingu

This place is CLOSED. No sign. Nothing!

This is seriously the BEST Korean food I ever had in my life. I have been to tons of Korean restaurants in various cities (New York, San Fransisco, Toronto etc) and this blows all of them out of the water. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the JangJangMyun. There are no words. It was sublime. I also ordered the sweet and sour pork, absolutely delicious!

I feel this is very hidden Korean restaurant in Montréal that’s very good! Only thing I don’t like about Korean restaurant in Montréal is that they have so much menu trying to make everything which makes them hard to execute the food at the best quality.
However this restaurant does not carry a lot but every item is very good!
We tried pork belly wrapped with kimchi I suppose that was very nice. Nice plating as well. Tteokbboki had sweet and spicy nice well balanced taste. Montréal Korean restaurant do not give a Damm about plating. This restaurant had nice plates as well nice presentation.
We had a great experience at the restaurant CHINGU

My friend and I came in for dinner here during our visit to Montréal. I loved the sleek, minimalist furniture and the overall ambience. They played a selection of Kpop music videos on their TVs which was really awesome — I probably paid more attention to that than my friend (oops!).
I ordered the tofu bibimbap and fried veggie mandoo — both were very delicious and proportionally sized. While I personally have had better Korean food before, this is as close as it can get to the real deal.

Very nice atmosphere. Quiet (nice soft k-​pop playing), comfy décor, friendly service.
I had the fried pork with rice. It was pleasantly sweet, garnished with orange wedges. My partner had a very tasty soft tofu with seafood. Spicy, but not overly so.
Kim chi was very tasty and not overly spiced, and was ever-​flowing. Big thumbs up!

Good Stuff! Portions a bit small, but pretty tasty!

Belle surprise pour les amoureux de la cuisine coréenne !
Un bon bibimpap et un excellent Yapchae…
Service très agréable.
Et un super rapport qualité-​prix

Overall
We went to Chingu for a late dinner after a long day. It was a great experience, and if you are a fan of good Korean food this place is worth a visit.
Food
My partner and I split the fried pork Mandoo as an appetizer, they were crispy and delicious and more than enough to share. For dinner, she had the Dolsot Bibimbap which she said was delicious, and it was exactly what she was expecting. I had the Bulgogi which was cooked to perfection. Both dishes came with radish, kimchi, and pickled cabbage (?) in little side bowls, all of which were delightful.
Décor /​Atmosphere
The décor is nice, understated but interesting. I was a little worried when we walked in, because two TVs were playing Korean pop videos and I didn’t want it to be noisy, but actually it was kind of nice. The music volume was soft enough to become background, and the videos were actually interesting and we ended up talking about how they were filmed which was fun.
Service
Our waitress was great. She was fast, friendly, she kept our water filled (and we drank a lot of water) and was genuinely apologetic when they were out of vegetable Mandoo (our first choice of appetizer). Great service.

Chingu is such a delicious and friendly place to eat!
When I lived in Korea, bibimbap and kimchi chi-​gae were my main meals, and Chingu serves them just right– I feel like I’m right back in Chollabukdo.
With these mainstay dishes, the differences between Korean restaurants tend to be only the freshness and abundance of the key ingredients. In these ways, Chingu provides better than anywhere else, plus has affordable prices! They also offer a broad menu of other tasty Korean treats (sweet and sour pork, sweet potato noodles with vegetables, spicy chicken cooked on a stone plate!)
And the kimchi! They do it just right – tangy, tender, and deep red with spice – never orange from over-​fermentation.
Although I’ve been to Chingu with groups of people, and on my own, I think a table of 2 – 4 is best. The music is just the right volume, and the service is attentive and appropriate: you can focus on good conversation and sharing your delicious dishes.

Tasty Korean food for a decent price made by a Korean lady who has never cooked in a restaurant before, just for family (but she’s doing a great job).
The pork-​belly rolls stuffed with kimchi are a real treat and so is the beef stock and pork/​veggie dumpling soup.
And yes, there is sufficient amounts of K-​pop, as there should be.

Great Korean food, along with Korean songs. Really nice decoration too, and logical price :)

Great place to have Korean food! Very reasonable price for food and drinks. You can bring a group of friends or come and have a nice date here. The décor is trendy and modern. I really like the sweet n sour pork and yogurt soju for drinks. Go chh chh Chingu!

The lovely and wise Diane D invited me here, and based on the fact that she lived in Korea and confessed she’s been eating here a couple times a week since it opened I was out the door in a flash, walking twenty minutes in the rain to climb the stairs to this bit of delight on Parc Avenue.
I was so so so not disappointed. The atmosphere is friendly and cool, with K-​Pop rocking from a Youtube playlist on a flat screen tv behind the bar. The wait staff are cool and friendly as well, coming over the chat and offer my cute companion her «regular» with piles of sides. The room is not too brightly lit, casual and sparkling clean and oddly but endearingly decorated with a lot of red and black. Most importantly we’re talking fresh inexpensive eats. The kimchi pork stew was everything it should be, fresh ingredients, spicy, hot, and full of things designed to cure and sooth you. All together generally Chinge in that moment made the end of winter seem tasty and good. I will be back for sure.

Found this restaurant while business travel for a month from the US. Their food was just awesome! every night I could really feel heart warming and am sure I will be missing their food and kindness… tonight I had the picture food… oh. great!
