Always get out around 9:30PM walk down St Catherines hungry and can't find anything open that looks good.... Help! Thanks Wed Dec 19 08:01:35 -0800 2007 21002 vtmark 1 3221686 Maison Bulgogi, the Korean resto on the corner of Ste-Catherine and Chomedy, is open till 11 p.m. Doesn't look like much but the food's very good, the service fast and the prices low. Wed Dec 19 08:07:35 -0800 2007 3221668 10520 carswell 2 3221696 Thanks will check it out... Wed Dec 19 08:09:51 -0800 2007 3221686 21002 vtmark 3 3221718 It's become my go-to place in that end of town. You'll be eating within ten minutes of placing your order -- great when you're in a rush to make it to a movie. The bulgogi ("barbecue") beef is a winner but search the website for other reccos of specific dishes. For example, see www.chowhound.com/topics/359690#2805450 Wed Dec 19 08:16:02 -0800 2007 3221696 10520 carswell 2 3221703 I'll heartily second that. Goes with a movie better than popcorn. Wed Dec 19 08:11:44 -0800 2007 3221686 138034 bomobob 2 3221727 This is always where we go after movies. I love the kimchi and pork soup. And the lady there is so nice.

Her dipping sauce is very tasty and the pancake has a really crispy outside. If you are into Korean style chinese food, the tangseyuk is also good here (Deep fried battered beef in sweet and sour sauce). Classic fusion cuisine. So clearly based on the chinese dish, yet different. Wed Dec 19 09:57:07 -0800 2007 3221727 89969 moh 4 3224189 moh, My mother makes the same dipping sauce. I guess it's a Korean standard. Soy sauce, garlic, touch of rice vinegar, green onions and Korean red pepper. Let it sit for a little bit and voila Korean dipping sauce! Wed Dec 19 21:55:53 -0800 2007 3222103 65518 calla0413 5 3225479 It is a standard, but for some reason, I can't make mine taste as good as some I've had, including hers. Must be the ratios, but darned if I can nail it... Thu Dec 20 10:06:39 -0800 2007 3224189 89969 moh 6 3225497 As it is with most cooking I know, Korean especially, it's an eyeball-and-taste thing. My mother always says, "just about this much". In Korean terms it has meaning but, me being raised in the States "just about this much" can have lots of meanings. LOL I need exact measurements too! Ironically, having said that, I think I have come very close to getting this dipping sauce down with the eyeball-and-taste trick. So, the next time I make it, I'll try to take measurements. No promises because you know you need "just about that much" of this and that to make the sauce...hahahahaha.... Thu Dec 20 10:11:53 -0800 2007 3225479 65518 calla0413 7 3226063 Measurements would be great! That being said, how many times has my mother said " about 1 tablespoon, yes, but if the soy is not salty enough, just add a little bit more" with no definition for the"little bit more" So even when i pin her down, she squirms out of committing to an amount! The other thing she does is change her recipes on a regular basis. You should see how many versions of chap chae I have written down!!! Thu Dec 20 12:49:35 -0800 2007 3225497 89969 moh 4 3225526 There also used to be a glitch on the menu, where something that is said to come with Japanese udon noodles, actually comes with her homemade noodles, which are beyond amazing.

And there's Pret a Manger, just a few blocks east of Maison Bulgogi, which I believe is also open till 11. Wed Dec 19 13:33:25 -0800 2007 3221668 19331 cherylmtl 2 3226129 I have fallen in love with the japanese tofu dishes at PM. Especially the spicy pork one. Thu Dec 20 13:06:25 -0800 2007 3222932 48563 mainsqueeze 3 3226228 Yes, the spicy pork with eggplant is my favorite dish these days. I've been eyeing hot pot dishes that many people seem to order there as well. They look delicious. On top of this, the owners are nice and the prices are very fair for the amount of food you get.
