We rolled in with less than 10 minutes before last call (basically expecting to eat air for dinner) & instead got welcomed like it was no big deal. Ricky, our server, was so patient & kind. He gave us extra time, checked in often, & never once made us feel like a burden. Honestly, he saved us from being full-on hangry monsters.

The food? Amazing. The udon deserves a standing ovation. & since it was last call, they even let us bring left overs so nothing went to waste (not their everyday policy, but a thoughtful, food-conscious move that worked perfectly for everyone).

What I really liked was how they adjusted depending on the situation. A few people even arrived later than us, & the staff still made it work. It's clear that if you show up polite & understanding, they meet you with the same energy.

Cozy vibe, perfect little jazz music at the right volume, & service that turned a chaotic rainy night into one of the best evenings I've had in a while. 100% recommend (& next time, I swear I'll get there on time).

The wife & I misread the closing hours & showed up at 9pm on a thursday night. We found out on arrival that the kitchen's last call would be at 9:15 - not ideal for a BYOB AYCE experience…EXCEPT our server Ricky took the time to explain in detail how the chef could prepare a full course tasting menu & they could extend the kitchen's closing time by an extra 15min (we pushed it to 25min, but it didn't seem like too big of a deal). All in all we were very happy that we decided to stay & got to taste basically the whole menu, even if that last-call curated menu is a bit carb heavy. Big thanks to Ricky for his patience & understanding, & of course thank you to the kitchen staff for sticking around a few minutes longer for us!

I recently dined (with my hubby) at KUI Korean BBQ in Verdun & had a great experience! Our server, Ricky, was exceptionally friendly & made us feel right at home. The all-you-can-eat concept is fantastic, but keep in mind there's a fee for any uneaten food, which is a responsible approach to minimize waste. The highlight of our meal was definitely the meats; the ribeye & chadol (beef brisket) were absolutely tender & flavorful. The prepared appetizers, including takoyaki, fried fish, & fried chicken, were also delicious. I loved the flexibility of ordering exactly what we wanted & in whatever quantities we desired, without the constraints of preset menus. Despite us being really full at the end of our meal, we still managed to order some popsicles (made in Korea!). I recommend the green matcha & red bean one! Being a BYOB establishment made the night even more affordable, & since we visited on a quieter Wednesday, it was a relaxed atmosphere. Ricky informed us that weekends can get quite busy, so reservations are a must! This place is perfect for groups, offering a set price for a fun & interactive dining experience. Just a tip: wear something you don't mind smelling a bit like BBQ, as the ventilation system is a bit old-fashioned & pulls air from the top. Overall, KUI Korean BBQ is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious Korean BBQ in a welcoming environment. We can't wait to return with friends.
