Ganadara (McGill) — Restaurant in Montreal

honestly ... I don’t recommend if you're getting takeout. I’m guessing the food is a lot better if you eat in the dining room, but I had a pretty bad experience with takeout. me and my friends came and ordered takeout because we were in a rush. we were about 10 people, so we understand if the service was a bit long. but the staff was VERY unorganized, there was only one person or two in the kitchen, and they messed up my friend's order as well as mine. (they gave my friend beef bibimbap instead of chicken, so they had to restart the whole thing, taking up 5 more minutes, and they completely forgot my side of kimchi). while I completely understand taking a while to complete many orders, there’s no reason for it to take more than 40 minutes to make a few bibimbaps for takeout... in the end, the food was pretty mediocre. my bibimbap was cold, the rice was hard and the egg was a very strange, slimy / pasty texture. it tasted pretty unseasoned, except for some sriracha. once again, the food is probably better when you sit down to eat : but I really don’t recommend...

Let me start off by saying that the server was very kind and accommodating and this is in no part her fault. However, I must caution everybody against eating at this extreme let-down of a restaurant. After waiting more than 30 minutes for 2 simple items, we received the blandest food I have ever tasted. This is the calibre of Asian food I would expect from Saguenay, not Montreal. To be fair, we asked for no spice in the tteobeokki, but I didn’t realize that meant removing every other flavour profile known to the human tongue as well. It was so watery it basically looked like a soup. I thought there was rice in the bowl but it turned out to be bits of cheese that didn’t melt at all. The egg was also hard and gray enough to be used in a computer mouse. The sundubu was basically just spicy garlic water, not a trace of flavour to be found. This is, without a doubt, the worst restaurant I have eaten...

Quick, affordable place near McGill. Quality and taste range from poor to mediocre.

Soondubu jigae was a tasteless soup with wet onions and soggy beef. Dak balls were chewy, likely old and definitely not fresh, and the sauce was really lacking. I enjoyed the sweet potato fries, they were crispy and rigid while being fluffy inside. The bibimbap was terrible, overpowering sesame oil with poor-quality beef and inari for some reason. Their curry chicken udon was an udon dish with a subtle curry flavour, with a dry and flavourless chicken. The pork rib udon was a congealed cream sauce with pork ribs made in a traditional American BBQ-style. They were dry outside, but tender enough to fall off the bone and contrasted the...
