Across reviews, Daldongnae Korean BBQ is praised for high quality meats, a generous unlimited array of side dishes, and an authentic, convivial grilling experience served by attentive staff. Diners note a wide range of meats and a standout banchan lineup with favorites like cheese corn and kimchi; the overall meals are described as flavorful, filling, and good value for the price. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as cozy or lively, though busy nights can feel crowded and some guests report feeling rushed or facing a few service hiccups, including policy quirks like cannot split the bill on weekends. Some dishes draw mixed opinions, with a few items underperforming in tenderness or freshness, yet the overall consensus remains strongly positive with many vowing to return and to recommend to others. In short, Daldongnae offers a memorable, well rounded KBBQ experience with generous sides, dependable service, and a focus on sharing and customization, even as price and pace can be considerations for some diners.
I love the decor. It is an experience in itself. I had two visits when the place could have been cleaner though. That's why a star is being deducted. I also have never seen a smile from the staff which sometimes seems to ignore you. I'm not the only one either as I see other tables struggling too. Anyway, the food is great & service is good enough to get it to your table without issues.
Ce n'est pas un buffet à volonté mais la qualité de la viande est imbattable comparé au buffet à volonté coréen. Ambiance sobre & calme. Je recommande.

The family & I went on a road trip to MTL & QC from NYC. Ate tons of Poutine, drank excellent beer, the local fare on our trip, but we wanted a change in pace, find a less-touristed place, & this really hit the spot. Excellent food, all you can eat banchan, our family of 5 thought we ordered too much at first (they had to give us an extra side table), but it was all gone to the last bite in no time that we had to settle last dibs with rock-paper-scissors.
Excellent cuts of meat! Coupled with good service & well-thoughtout interior that recalls Korea of the 60s & 70s. In all a very good experience & can't wait to go back!
Ok guys, seriously, that was my first expérience & i will return very very soon. Food is amazing taste good, peoples staff are stunning always smilling, just the best experience for couple & or friends. Amusez vous. &
Bonne appetite!
Amazing & interesting food. The side dishes were delicious & numerous. The meat was excellent quality & fun to cook. You get awesome success like cheese corn & an omelette with each order. The interior is dark but relaxed. Great tunes & neat interior design features. Absolutely loved it.
Tout simplement Wow!!! Le service, les viandes, les différents plats d'accompagnement à volonté, l'ambiance, etc.
Puisque c'est notre première fois, la serveuse a pris le temps de nous expliquer le fonctionnement, les recommandations, la quantité recommandé (1 viande/personne), etc.
Lorsque l'assiette de viande est arrivée, j'avais peur d'en manquer & d'avoir faim, mais finalement, c'était plus que assez.
One of the best Korean BBQ in town. Located right downtown Montreal, which is accessible through metro Guy Concordia. The meat cuts are very fresh. There are different variety of beef cuts that you can order. The side dishes are unlimited & can be reordered. I love rolling the meat within the the lettuce leaves & dipp it in the sauce, their sauce tastes good too! You can also order chicken, pork or seafood, but mind you theif beef cuts are the best!
It was ok. Been to locations in the GTA & lived in Korea for 5 years. Given 2 lettuce leaves to wrap meat with 3 people at the table. Come on. Given 3-4 leaves per refill. I know the refills are unlimited but it sucks having to keep asking for more. Serious BBQ fans know what I'm talking about. Garlic given was also weak. Had to ask for more multiple times. It did hit the spot but the service was weak. Wouldn't go back.

Delectable food of memorable quality. Excellent service from kind people. The atmosphere was visually very pleasant, but the music & people were a bit loud to my taste. Overall easily one of my favorite restaurants in the city.
I've eaten at many other Korean BBQ spots but this one is, & has always been, my absolute favorite. They do all the things right. The burners btw are searing hot which is great for the perfect grill. The service is attentive & kind. The kimchi stew & seafood pancake are totally worth it!
Good portions, fast service. Comes out to about the same as AYCE if you factor in kids & moderate appetite but much better meat. ordered Wagyu, Ribeye, bavette, beef fingers. English menu is not well translated for the cuts of meat so be careful order from French menu.
Great restaurant. We have been many times & enjoy it very much. From the unlimited yummy salads to the excellent meat. The staff are all helpful & friendly. We will be back very soon.
