The Best Korean Restaurants in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Unceremoniously hidden in a downtown basement (right alongside another hidden gem, Super Sandwich), Opiano’s vast menu covers a range of classics, including bibimbap, japchae, kimbap, mandu (Korean dumplings) and more. Warming pork bone soup (bbyeo haejangguk) is but one highlight." - Holly Tousignant

Where to Eat and Drink Cheaply Around McGill University | Eater Montreal

"This Korean spot tucked in the basement of the condo building on Peel and Sherbrooke is extremely popular among international students – and for good reason. The options are plentiful and most importantly, affordable. Avoid the usual lunch rush hour as the line can often be quite long." - Daniel Bromberg

Decent little place near campus that is quite convenient. The food is solid, not bad at all but nothing special. Portions are pretty large and pretty good value. I’m a bit hesitant to branch out and try other meals on the menu but the chicken and rice is good. On a side note I always appreciate interesting aspects of restaurants whether they improve or take away from the dining experience. Here it was the art, it reminded me of an artist from my hometown. Kinda neat not sure what to think of the painting I posted tbh but cool. PS thanks for all the new followers I really appreciate it. I promise to stay loyal to the truth and speak my heart on a dining experience. See you in the next review ✌️

Needed a quick lunch near campus and a friend recommended this Korean restaurant. Having lived in Seoul, I can say the bibimbap really hit the spot! The portions are generous for the price, and it even comes with a miso soup. The ordering system is super efficient, you order on a digital screen, and about 10 minutes later your name is called to pick up your food. Everything was fresh, fast, and tasty. I’ve already been back to try their soup, and it was just as delicious. Definitely a new go-to spot!

I stayed in a hotel right next to Opiano during a short trip of Montreal and decided to have a dinner there on a Thursday evening in November. It seemed quite busy, but I got a seat immediately. The food was very reasonably priced, plentiful, and was very tasty. The service was quite good as well. I will gladly go back there.

The Sundae guk was crazy so flavourful and generous in size! A lot of meat and extremely fast service wow! A lovely comfort food restaurant that I would love to return to every week!

So authentic Korean restaurant. You ordered all the meal from the machine and no tips added since all self service like how you order at McDonald which is so convenient for those who work in downtown and tourists. The whole ordering process is high tech and time saving. We ordered pork bone soup which is a must try here! Best ever. Also the tofu soup with seafood was sooo good. These two come with rice. I hope I could stay in Montreal couple more days and visit here everyday. The customer service is so friendly, they are humble and polite. Highly recommend! It could be a good stop after hiking the Mount Royal.

Opiano is a good , economic Korean restaurant perfect for a work/between class/ or after school meal. 1. Good price. I have ordered pork bone soup and kimbap with beef , with tax 33$. And these were shared with my friend. 2. Good taste The pork bone soup is very tasty. It is DIY style and food court atmosphere. I highly recommend They have bingsoo as well.will definitely try that in Summer 🌞!

Wow. Delicious food. Decent price. Definitely recommend. Good filing portions. Great katsu. Gallant noodles. Glad I went.

Everything was ok-ish but that Bingsoo single-handedly made it all worth it. That Bingsoo was some heavenly perfection, a platonic ideal of a dessert. If I go back, it would be for the Bingsoo.

I stayed in Hotel Le Cantlie right, which is right next to Opiano, during a short trip of Montreal and decided to have a dinner there on a Thursday evening in November. I struggled a little bit to find this as this is inside an indoor shopping complex. The restaurant seemed quite busy, but I got a seat immediately. The food was very reasonably priced, plentiful, and was very tasty. The service was quite good as well. I will gladly go back there.

Located inside Le Cartier building. You know it's good when you see lots of locals. Portions are nice. Price is good. We had kimbop n fried dumplings. So good.

Really filling and delicious food. For lunch, it has the perfect balance if you get the lunch plate with soup and side salad and rice. I really recommend the chicken Katsu or beef plate. It does get packed for lunch so be sure to arrive a bit before the lunch rush or after as seating is pretty limited. Fast service and fast turnaround though if ever.

Self service eatery. A local eatery which looks like it caters more of students than those who wants leisure eating. It is inside a groundfloor building and uses the open space between the pharmacy and barbershop. Food is good. The crew knew which is the bestseller.food serving is ample for its price. No parking. high chair is available. Accepts credit/debit

Food is delicious and not expensive. Big portions. It's good for a hungry guy. Compare with the price and the quality of the food. It's not expensive.

A delicious meal with tender and well marinated beef. The portion is large enough to fill you up. It came with a hot miso soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is nicely marinated. The salad dressing was surprinsingly good. Looking forward to try their other dishes too.

Opiano is another restaurant that I've had on my bookmarks for a while. They are closed on weekends, and not living in Montreal, I'm usually just in town for the weekend, so the timing hasn't worked out for me. However, I recently had a weekend getaway to Montreal with my mom and we arrived early Friday morning, so we were able to eat at Opiano that evening! We had dinner there and it was fantastic! Portions were huge and the food was tasty. So Opiano is inside the Cartier building. The same building as Super Sandwich, or as it was known when I was living in Montreal and a regular customer, Depanneur Super Sandwich. Opiano is a very casual eatery. It's actually located in the atrium of the building and only partially cordoned off (I could see the entrance to Super Sandwich from when I was sitting). You order and pay at the counter and they write a number on your receipt. Then you sit wherever you want. When your order is ready, they call out your number and you go and retrieve your food. When you are done, you bring your tray back to the counter where you got your food. It's not a glamourous place, but the food was excellent and definitely a good value for what you pay. I got the beef bulgogi bibimbap ($10) and my mom got the beef bulgogi Dosirak (which is like a Bento box) ($13.25). Hers was a better value, as it was a lot of food. I really enjoyed my beef bulgogi bibimbap. It had beef bulgogi, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, radishes, sliced omelette, and nori (seaweed). I was also given a bottle of hot sauce. I used some of it and it was pretty good. The bibimbap was served in a regular bowl and they didn't have the option of a hot stone bowl (dolsot), which I prefer, as your meal remains really hot throughout. Even without the dolsot though, I still really liked my dish. The meat was lean and flavourful, and not too salty. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and the combination was delicious. The hot sauce had a nice kick to it too. My meal came with a miso soup, which was ok, but only lukewarm. It would have been better if it was actually hot. My mom's Dosirak had beef bulgogi, rice, salad, 6 pieces of vegetable kimbap (like sushi), 2 pieces of sweet potato tempura, and miso soup. She loved her meal. I had some of the kimbap and it was fresh and tasty. The tempura was crispy and I liked that the batter was not too thick. We requested no sesame seeds on our food and that wasn't a problem at all. I was stuffed to the gills after dinner, but I really wanted to try the Bingsoo, so my mom and I shared a small mango Bingsoo ($5.50). I thought that it would be tiny, but it was quite sizeable. I loved the shaved ice/snow. It was creamy and not too sweet. The mango were not quite ripe, so they were still a bit firm and sour. I didn't mind this, but my mom likes her mango much sweeter and more ripe. The sliced almonds gave the Bingsoo a bit of a textured crunch. I loved it so much. Staff were nice and pleasant. We bought bottled water ($1 each for Kirkland brand from Costco, lol) but then we realized that they had a water dispenser of tap water. Delicious inexpensive food with friendly staff, what's not to like? If you don't mind the lack of table service and very casual atmosphere and you like Korean food, you need to try Opiano! Street parking only.

Right next door to our hotel (Sofitel) and we needed something semi-quick before walking to the hockey game, this fit the bill perfectly. Loved my tofu in glass noodles and the beef dumplings we split. Prices were super reasonable and service very friendly. Definitely would return when we're in town again.

This is the second time I eat from this restaurant. Last time was years a lot and I went for their summer ice treat. This time I ordered from delivery app. I had soup and rice bowl. The package was very good. The taste was just like other Korean restaurants. I do think the soft tofu soup should be better if had it at the place. I don't complain I like the soup very much. There was plenty of beef and an egg in the soup. If you like Korean food, try this place and you won't be disappointed.

Since I discovered Opiano earlier this month, I've been there at least 6 times. Sadly, today is their last day before their 3 weeks-long summer vacation. I tried their bulgogi and spicy chicken Dosirak (combo box). Each box includes a bowl of miso soup, a salad, a good portion of rice, two pieces of vegetable tempura, 5 pieces of sushi and the main dish of choice. That's a lot of food!! Portions are always generous, and the bulgogi is one of the best I've had in town. We also tried one of their sushi dishes. It came as 6 rather large pieces - it was good, but not as satisfying as the dosirak. But it's great to share with friends if you want to try different dishes! Now on to the bingsoo. I'm seriously addicted to it. No kidding, I think about it everyday and wouldn't mind eating it every morning and every night. We even came up with a chant for it! "Shaved ice! It's so nice! Shaved ice! Every night!" We tried pretty much all flavors at this point: matcha, mango, strawberry, chocolate, coffee, red beans, rice cake. The matcha is still my ultimate favorite, but the mango is close behind. If you never had Opiano's shaved ice, today's your chance!! I'm going there tonight for dinner, but I don't know what I will do for the next 3 weeks. I guess I'll go hide in a corner and *cry*

Their bingsoo are pretty good, I recommend their red bean one! Their Pork Bone soup is okay. Although it looks like it has a lot of spice, the spice didn't soak into the meat. The broth is good though.The pork bone also isn't as soft as the ones I had in other places. Their Bibimbap is good, nothing special. But their servings is small for their price. Overall, their service is fast and have decent food for students. Although during the semester, at lunch the place will be packed and has a long lineup!

Simply love this place! Been there few times and it never disappointed me. We ordered the dosirak spicy pork and a plate of rice cakes. The meat is well seasonned. I've also tried their shaved ice for the first time and it is different from the Tawainese shaved ice. They are both delicious in their own way! Really refreshing. Comforting food. They are located near metro Peel. It takes a few minutes walk to get over there. Really convenient. Always lots of people since is in downtown and it is near 2 universities. If you haven't been there already, give it a try:)

Super delicious Recommended by a colleague, the sushi is good, the bibibamp was super delicious, i ordered the spicy pork bibibamp. The portions are sufficient! The best is the bingsoo, on a hot day it's super refreshing. I got the mango bingsoo. The vibe of the place is very dark but it looks very inviting and traditional. Would DEFINITELY go back!

One of my top fave korean restos in Montreal . They are open from 10am to 8, so i would go for breakfast before work sometimes. I rate this 5 star because; 1) Food, is excellent, delicious and affordable. My All time fave is the Pork Bone soup, SoonDuBu and HweDuBap. Also very good Dessert; Bingsoo (Shaved Ice) 2) The Service is Good and fast. You Order at the counter and find a seat, they call your number when your order is ready and you pick it up, Fast, easy, simple! 3) Nice Decor, cutely decorated cafeteria, its a great spot too, in downtown! I recommend this place

Not sure why this place is so popular... It's overpriced. The quality of the food is sub par. There are long wait times at lunch for both take out and sit in. Yes - still - I come here once or twice a semester because if proximity to my office. I regret it somewhat every time. They seem to have interesting desert options and these seem popular among the sit in crowd. I haven't tried this but it does look good. Maybe that can reconcile my perspective to the one of the "market" (which clearly likes this place - as indicated by the long lines).

Located in the basement of a shopping complex across the street of of McGill, Opiano is tucked away in the corner, hidden just enough that I would have had a hard time stumbling upon it had we not originally set out to eat there. We went on a Thursday night at 6:00; it was moderately busy but not too crowded. I ordered a bibimbap, which was honestly pretty average. My friend got the tteokbokki with extra noodles - spicy but pretty good. Other friend ordered the bento box, which had huge portions. However, the bingsoo seriously redeemed their rating. The shaved ice was honestly amazing! I've eaten at painnamou many times, so I was glad to hear that they had moved to opiano instead of closing. If it were just the bingsoo, I'd give it a 5/5!

This little hidden Korean fast food in downtown has the best pork bone soup. If you are not big fan of a soup meal, they also have this combo called Dosirak which comes with choice of meat (bulgogi, spicy pork, chicken) accompanied with rice,salad, sushi rolls, tempura at a very decent price. They also have this shaved ice dessert so finely shaved that it tastes creamy. Strongly recommended.

I go to this place at least 2-3 times per week. I would say this is the best place to have a decent meal around McGill. Everything from the price to the quality to the atmosphere is perfect. There is no tip since there are so servers, but everything else is more like a restaurant than a fast food place. The dishes come in nice bowls and plates on a tray. My favourites are the Dosirak (lunch box) and the pork bone soup. If I'm not too hungry, I'll go with the kimbap, the midi special or a salad (their salad sauce is the best I've ever had). For the Dosirak and hoedeopbap, you get a 10% coupon every time you buy one, and you can accumulate 10 of them and get one free if you go often enough (I've already gotten 3 free ones...). They used to also include a chocolate in the napkin which was nice but they don't anymore. I've asked and they said it was because a lot of people don't eat it and they go to waste. They told me I can still ask for them, which I do and they actually gave me a couple :) They are changing their menus now to include bingsoo, can't wait to see what that's like!

Ramyun was absolute rip off (~10$ after taxes). It was literally a pack of instant noodles (powdered mix seasoning) with the addition of a couple stripes of chicken, brocoli (??) and spring onions -- probably worth 2.30$ (after taxes hehe) honestly. I've been there twice, I also had the pork bone soup. The pork bone was immense, but the meat has been mostly shredded so there wasn't much to eat. The soup was spicy but lacked in depth of flavour. At this point, I think it's clear that they only cook with powered mix and pastes instead of real ingredients... As for their best-seller, the dosirak, the bugolgi beef was dry and flavourless. If it weren't the closest 'asian' restaurant around McGill, I wouldn't know why people bother going there. Might be korean/asian fever xD

Being a Korean native, I can't help being skeptical of Asian food, oh yes, especially of Korean food. But Opiano has been my favorite Korean restaurant by far. This is a good place for a reasonably priced, casual Korean (or Asian meals such as sushi) meal. Even though the low price (usually $9-13 per meal, non-obligation for the tip as well!) is the great reason to visit this place, I personally think the low price was highlighted so well so the food taste and good quality of ingredients were not featured enough. Taste is as great and authentic as ones you could eat in Korea. I also liked the food were not overwhelmingly spicy, as many current Korean restaurants currently were. If you are searching for a fancy, more sophisticated Asian cuisine, this place is not the perfect one. It will be packed with people, almost you'd feel like a food court. This place is for an easy and casual meal. Generally, bento (Dosirak, or box) menu are all good that you can try little of many things. When ordering bento menu, you can ask a discount coupon for the box menu for your next visit. The dessert menu- Bingsu (shaved ice with all kinds of sweets) is worth to try, and the portion is large. even small would feed two enough if you are eating as a dessert after a meal.

This is a great place to have lunch/dinner near McGill. Prices are reasonable and food is decent too. The pork bone soup was very tasty. The bento box's portion size is kid of small and you might want to order something else to be full. The steamed dumplings and rolls were tasteless though.

Yum so good! What a sweet little surprise hidden in the basement of this commercial building next to McGill on Sherbrooke. It's clean and bright with big comfy chairs and while the menu offers office building eats like coffee and danishes and club sandwiches, it's also got a Korean menu that's killer. I ordered the lunch box with spicy pork, it comes with salad, a couple sushi, a couple tempura vegetables, miso soup, all with fresh ingredients and delicately flavoured all for like $11! The amazing Arun brought me here since she's working nearby, she has become a regular at Opiano because of the happy-making vegetarian options, including some really nice plump dumplings. Friendly helpful service, super quick - if you're doing a 1hr business lunch you will be fine. Highly recommended in general. Thanks to local yelpers for helping me find magic like this!!

I've been here quite a few times, and I have to say, my four-star rating is based on an average of all the dishes I've tried. Starting with the ramyun, it is nothing more than instant noodles with a few extra vegetables, so it only deserves 2.5 stars. The dosirak pictured below is a 3.5 stars, the good side is that you get a lot of food so it is very filling, but unfortunately as with most other korean food it is really bland ( I had to add quite a bit of salt to the fried chicken) Finally, the seafood sandwich is a solid 4.5 stars, has really nice lobster and (imitation) crab, comes with a lot of fries and salad, and the salad dressing is amazing. Unfortunately, they keep bumping up the prices on the sandwiches, so it might no longer be a good deal. No wifi :(

Good ambience and nice cashier! The highlight was the bingsoo which is shave ice .it was really good , not too sweet, very tasty. But the bento bulgogi and the spicy chicken were not as good as the bingsoo, it had just the plain taste to it, not bad but not good, kind of boring taste, and the meat was not soft neither, I will be back to try some other things and hopefully it will be better than this time!

Opiano is the perfect lunch spot. Situated in the Le Cartier building, the restaurant has really great comfortable seating and even at the busiest hours you're able to find a spot to squeeze into. They make the food to order so it's fresh and pretty quick too! Their menu is extensive from club sandwiches to sushi to ramen to bibimbap and all of it is just great. My personal favourite is their Vegetable Ramen and you can ask them to top it with vegetable tempura which is just amazing. Their ramen is the Korean style spicy ramen and really just good stuff. They also play the nicest music - good classical music that's soothing and makes it a great place to have lunch with company because you can actually talk! Would strongly recommend Opiano - it's a great lunch spot and you can come here and have something completely different every day of the week!

Came here for the bingsoo and not their meals. It was good, but not great. It wasn't shaved as flaky as i wanted it to be and the syrup they put just makes the flakes all mushed. Not my fave place for bingsoo.

I never get sick of eating there! One of my favorite place to go after completing my exams from school. Whenever you buy a dosirak, the nice korean girl gives you a coupon for the next 10% off for another dosirak i love their chicken katsu and sushi. I just hope they never close down because the place is really chill and customers can sit wherever they want. I really like their bingsoo too, they give big portion of food!

If you're looking for decently priced, filling and good Korean meal this is your place! You don't feel obligated to tip much since it's a food court type of restaurant and the food comes out fast. I had their bento and pork bone soup. I personally love their pork bone soup because it's very close to the authentic Korean dish! Bento is really good if you want to try different kinds of food in smaller portions. I would definitely recommend for a casual dinner with good food!

Maybe its a personal taste thing, but I was not amazed by this place. I want for the basic Korean food, bibimbap. I must admit they did have a nice twist with the sea weed but a bit pricey and overall it wasn't that good and I dont think I will come here again.

I ordered the pork bone soup because of a friend's recommendation. The soup was super good. The meat felt off the bone and the meat was well-seasoned. For 12.46$ tax included, you can beat that price. Lots of students come to eat. I would like to try the beef bento next time.

SO GOOD! Great value too - a lot for $14. The bulgogi is good and not too salty or saucey. This time I got the crispy chicken and it is also really good! Everything tastes fresh and light. Decently fast service too. Would come again!

I'm so thrilled to have been able to try this place out! My last experience with sushi was very unpleasant. This place has restored my faith lol! I tried the lunch special. It came with a miso soup and a side of seaweed salad. It was fresh. It was tasty and it was BIG!!! I can easily find myself sharing this one order with another person. I got there five minutes after lunch hours so technically I wouldn't even be able to get the lunch special but they were kind enough to make it for me! Thanks guys! Super nice and friendly service!!!

SUCH an affordable and delicious place! my group of three and i came here at around noon and were pleasantly surprised. it's located inside of a shopping plaza so at first we didn't know what to expect. when we got inside though, we saw that the atmosphere was neat and clean. the servers and cooks were all very kind and helpful, giving us suggestions on what to order. although this place is self order, the customer service here was astoundingly good! We ordered the chicken cutlets- served with white rice and a salad, veggie tempura udon, pan fried veggie dumplings, bulgogi set- served with vegetable sushi, veggie tempura, white rice, salad, and a beef mix, and a ramen style noodle soup with spam and sausage (i've forgotten what it's called)- served also with white rice. For dessert we got the mango shaved ice which was made partly out of ice partly out of milk and was very good. All were delicious but the udon really stuck out to us as being REALLY GOOD. the kind of udon that makes you say ooooh-damn! i would strongly recommend getting the udon, veggie pan fried dumplings (delicious!), and the crispy chicken cutlet meal (so good!). Although, I did not like how for all veggie tempura dishes (udon and bulgogi set) all the veggies were sweet potato. in my opinion, both dishes would be better with a variation of vegetables. Also the water cups, which you go up to fill yourself, are very small and would need multiple trips to the fountain to get enough water. But everything makes up for both of these things.

This place was one of my go to places while at McGill. They offer a large selection of korean, sushi and western dishes (get the korean dishes!!). My favourites are hands down the dosirak (which are bento boxes containing a spring salad with an amazing dressing, 5 pieces of sushi that have nothing special, two pieces of tempura squash, rice and a very generous portion of the meat of your choice) and the pork bone soup (super flavourful broth made out of pork bones that are not the easiest to eat). The prices are very fair and the portions beyond generous.

Love this place! You would never expect such a good korean restaurant in the basement of an apartment building but looks can be decieving. I'm korean so I personally know from eating lots of korean food that this is really how homemade korean food tastes like. It's not super greasy nor is it over spiced/salted like they do in many restaurants. I usually take their crispy chicken or spicy chicken dosirak and THEY'RE SO FILLING for just 10-13 bucks! The owners are super generous as well! The place might not look as such, but it's awesome!

This place gives me such nostalgia vibes from Toronto (Scarbs, markham)!!! Everything I'd expect from a korean resto. Got the bulgogi dosirak, with my only complaint being the rice was one large glob. Probably added too much water in the cooker, so I won't hold it against them. The tempura sauce also tasted like nothing, so yeah, too much water added. I expected a sweet flavour. Anyhow, great portions, great food and a comfortable place to have a quick lunch. Found this place through yelp (thanks guys!) cause I pass by this place after work and never noticed it! Will be back to try other items. Also, they play classical music, wrap a chocolate with your chopsticks and give you a 10% off coupon. Very cute.

Opiano is an excellent choice for students like me. Along with its good food, generous portions and relaxing environment, its serving speed is relatively fast among its peers. The price is quite reasonable. Having been here for more than 10 times, I assume a lunch for one person should cost around 9-13$ on average. Overall, this restaurant deserves a five star as a semi-fast-food restaurant/cafe, considering its food quality, serving speed and convenient location. However, it does lack formality if that's what you're looking for.

I can't believe that I only discovered this place today! It was under my nose all this time! I had the pork bone soup which is hearty, a tad spicy and full of flavour. Meat was tender, falling right off the bone as it should be. Perfect for a quick lunch, the food the place has is authentic, delicious and makes one miss T.o just a little bit less.

Low prices. Very gentle staff. The food is good and tasty, every serving is big. I tried their BBQ sandwich, is big enough and comes with fries and salad. The only problem is that the aroma of BBQ wasn't very present, it tasted more like a plain beef sandwich. The club sandwich is huge and it come with fries and salad too. In conclusion big portions for less money. A good deal if you want to grab a quick bite.

Great find. Located on the ground floor of an office building. Ordered bulgogi sandwich, a bowl of ramen, and the spicy pork rice plate. The sandwich and rice plate were better than we expected. The ramen was very good as well. Cool, laid back environment. Recommended.

Too pricy for the quality they offer. Portion, especially portion of meat isn't enough. Nice and clean with good vibe though.

The food was okay, and a bit pricey. the tteokboki's sauce was a bit too liquid and wasn't flavourful enough. The portions are really generous though, and they give rebate coupons for dosirak! :D The bulgogi and crispy chicken are okay. The tempuras are good. They are a fast food, yet they price their dishes like restaurants, so a bit overpriced in my opinion. But I'll still come when I am craving for something korean since its so close to Mcgill

This place is perfect for lunch and dinner! The food is very tasty, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the vegetarian rolls while my friend got a tofu bibimbap and we both agreed it was absolutely delicious! They have a wide selection to choose from and even if you are not big on asian food (which I can't possibly imagine, but hey, everybody's different) you could find something that would suit your taste. The seatings are comfortable and it is a great place to hang out with friends as the noise level is never too high even at the busiest hours and you can actually hear and be heard! It is a very intimate and relaxing spot! However, las time I checked they didn't have wifi (or you'd have to ask them for a password, not sure about that), so it's probably a better spot to read or focus on some work that doesn't involve the world wide web. But that's ok, put the smartphone down after taking a picture of the (always well presented) food, you can post that damn picture later! (the #latergram hashtag is there for a reason, people, learn to use it)

Nice restaurant, a little hard to find. Competitive price. Really nice dishes. Try the pork bone soup you won't be disappointed.

I'm quite the fan of Opiano. My sister's Korean friend recommended this place, so we knew we had to come here. The service here was pretty fast and good, it's a self-service so there weren't a lot of interaction apart from the cashier. The cashier was really nice and friendly, he showed us the difference in sizes super quickly between small and regular bingsoos. Must I say, their red bean bingsoo was PHENOMENAL, I'm definitely going back for more! My mother and sister also ordered some food - a sundubu jjigae and some tteok bokki. They were both quite good, but I'd say the tteok bokki was quite average. I'd still say the bingsoo was the highlight of the experience in Opiano though. It's worth a visit just for that. I'm so down to try other flavours on my next visit!
