Overall, Daldongnae Korean BBQ in downtown Montreal is widely praised for its high quality meats, a generous and varied set of unlimited banchan, and a lively yet comfortable atmosphere where grilling at the table is part of the experience. Guests highlight attentive, friendly service that remains helpful without being pushy, quick refills on sides, and strong flavors across the menu, with standout items like beef, pork, egg dishes, kimchi stew, and the cheese corn that often accompanies meals. While the concept of cooking your own meat is noted, the staff support helps keep the experience smooth, and many say the portions and value are solid despite some noting peak times can feel rushed, portions can vary and a few dishes can be saltier or less tender. Overall it is considered a top choice for Korean BBQ in Montreal, a staple for groups and a consistent favorite that brings repeat visits.
Absolument délicieux! Meilleur BBQ coréen que j'ai mangé! & j'en ai essayé beaucoup. L'ambiance est aussi très sympa. Pour les kdramavores, vous aurez l'impression de manger & boire typiquement comme vos leads préférés avec tous ces'side dishes' délicieux, l'eau dans son pot & bue dans des gobelets en métal &, bien sûr, le Soju, pour les amateurs. Une belle place sympathique à ne pas manquer.

Meilleur BBQ coréen ! La nourriture est excellente & le service est rapide (meilleur que la succursale sur Sainte-Catherine 🫣) Nous avons parfois peur de déranger les serveurs & l'ensemble du repas doit être sur une seule facture. Les enfants doivent aussi commander une portion de viande. Il est facile de réserver par téléphone, jsuis allé plusieurs fois & y retournerai sans hésiter! 🙌🏻
Je suis allé un dimanche soir. Très bon service & rapide aussi. Nous avons prit 2 choix de viande(poulet & bavette de boeuf mariné) (pour 2 personnes) avec avec tous les accompagnements c'étais amplement suffisent & très bon. On est ressorti bien rassasié du resto haha... La soupe miso en accompagnement est vraiment excellente aussi. Un BBQ Coréen que je recommande.
Nous avons découvert ce bbq coréen à Montréal. Il y a eu quelques bémols. La viande nous a pas été expliqué dans le menu avant de commander. J'ai commandé le steak de boeuf mandarin, il était tellement difficile à mâcher. Vraiment pas tendre. Mon conjoint a commandé la poitrine de porc tranché mince. Un autre déception car l'employée nous avait pas mentionné que c'était comme du bacon. Les accompagnements sont délicieux rien a mentionné. Ce qui nous à le plus déranger pour le souper, c'est la musique extrêmement forte. Impossible de se parler & de comprendre ce que les serveurs nous demandaient. Une belle découverte mais pour seulement une fois.
Worst service we've ever experienced!
The employees didn't respond when we greeted them or even when they asked us questions, they simply turned away right after we answered.
We only asked for a banchan refill once, which seems completely reasonable, but they appeared annoyed & ignored us for the rest of the meal.
We finished eating in about an hour, & while I was still chewing, the server started clearing everything off the table without asking & then rushed us to pay, even though it was only 8 pm. We felt pressured to leave.
It's disappointing because we used to come here every month for Korean BBQ for the meat quality. It was one of our go to spots for gatherings & celebrations, but the service has consistently gone down each time we've visited.

Had a really great experience at Daldongnae Korean BBQ in Montreal. The quality of the meat definitely stood out compared to other Korean BBQ spots I've tried.
The service was also excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, & quick to help without being overbearing, which made the whole dining experience smooth & enjoyable.
We came here as last resort since the other bbq shops were full but we're surprised at how good this place is. This is like the staple of kbbq in canada, everyone knows this place.
We ordered 2 types of meat (1 pork, 1 beef) & it came with so many other side dishes & soup. The layout of the grill is so unique, with very delicious egg stew & cheese & corn. The soybean paste stew was also amazing as it paired well with the meats. They gave us a bit of lettuce but I wish they gave us more. Sauces were provided too.
Une très belle découverte. Nous sommes allés luncher sur semaine. Très peu de personnes, que 2 tables occupées. Accueil poli, aucun sentiment d'urgence mais toujours disponible pour répondre aux questions.
C'est un VRAI Korean BBQ, pas une imitation à volonté avec de la viande ordinaire. La viande est d'excellente qualité, les condiments variés, très gouteux & servis à volonté. & le personnel est vraiment coréen.
Recommended to go for Daldongnae Korean BBQ with at least two people if you are up for the Table BBQ due to minimum of 2 servings of meat or vegan set. Great service. Good food. Cook by yourself. Free sides.
Expérience décevante pour un Korean BBQ que je considère overrated.
Le service était lent & manquait clairement d'attention - j'avais même l'impression de déranger le personnel à chaque demande, ce qui gâche l'ambiance & l'expérience client.
De plus, le rapport qualité-quantité-prix n'est pas au rendez-vous : les portions sont limitées par rapport au prix demandé, ce qui donne l'impression de payer beaucoup pour très peu.
En résumé : ambiance moyenne, service peu accueillant & prix trop élevés pour ce que l'on reçoit. Définitivement pas à la hauteur de sa réputation.

Very authentic Korean bbq in Montreal. Good spread of side dishes & meat options. Staff were kind but very busy, could've used a few more people or better system. Highly recommend!
We ordered the Pork Belly & the Beef Tenderloi for the meat & the beef bimbimbap to share. The bbq comes with egg, kimchi, garlic slices, & cheese corn. (Remember: you can only refill egg & cheese corn when you still have meat on the grill) For the pork, it comes with three thick slices, very delicious! However, beef tenderloin was ok… it was very chewy & it gets burnt pretty quickly. It didn't have much flavour too. It's not as tender as it describes on the online menue, & I don't really recommend the beef tenderloin. The bimbimbap was really good, the portion was perfect for two people. Highly recommended!
P.S. when we were eating, there was a line up. I understand that they've been waiting for a long time, but the servers kept asking whether we are done eating & whether they should take the plates, even when there were still bimbimbap in the bowl. It was quite disturbing because they already told us that we get a maximum of two hours dining time which we were aware. Overall we just felt rushed.
Compared to similar bbq restaurants, it has the advantage of having à la carte menu even in the weekend (rather than all you can eat). But it is also a bit expensive ($30 for short rib?). The portions are perfectly enough, particularly because so many side dishes they being (which are very tasty).
The only negative point was the lack of salt & pepper at the table.
It has become a tradition when I'm in Montreal for work myself & a coworker end up at this location every year, & every year we introduce new people to Korean BBQ from this place. It's fantastic along with the location in Mississauga.
Great place to eat at with unlimited side dishes like kimchi, eggs, corn cheese, fermented bean sprouts, fermented cucumber, glass noodles, mash potatoes, soup... We ordered meats & veggies to gril on the BBQ & came out of the restaurant overstuffed & happy. Price is reasonable & the food's amazing 😍
