Daldongnae is widely seen as a top pick for Korean BBQ in Montreal, praised for high quality meats, authentic flavors, the interactive grill at the table, and generous unlimited side dishes that complement the meal. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with strong appeal for groups and social dining. The new location maintains solid service and shorter waiting times, though on busy nights service can be slow or variable, and some visits note smoke from the kitchen and occasional gaps in communication about the menu or timing. Halal options and accommodations for dietary needs are appreciated, while price levels are seen as fair for the quality by many, though a few find the bill high for a one-off splurge. Overall, Daldongnae is repeatedly recommended, with emphasis on meat quality, variety of sides, and a vibrant dining experience, encouraging return visits.
Ça fait 6 ans que je vais au Daldongnae & c'est un endroit imbattable pour de la nourriture abordable de bonne qualité ! Le service est rapide & le staff est sympathique.
Really good overall, meats are a bit under seasoned but they give you a decent amount of sides. Prices are a bit high for the amount of meat you get. Tons of flavours of soju.
Awful experience. I was waiting for the seats but the server told me that I can't stay indoor because they have a big group people coming. I asked if I can stay in the entryway since it was raining outside. The answer was no. Not sure why. Another couple with 2 little kids were kicked out of the door in the rain as well. I believe we come for food but not for begging food.

Food was excellent. Restaurant is right downtown Mtl, not far from Guy métro. Service is fast.
Meat is really fresh, Soju is great. Soup & pancake are savory.
BRAVO 👍
This has always been my go-to KBBQ place. I've been going to the original location ever since they opened & the experience has been very consistent over the years. The new location is the same (if not better), with less waiting times. I also found out that it's Halal so it's a big plus for such an authentic KBBQ restaurant. The vibe is always immaculate, the service can be slow at times but understandable as it gets really hectic depending on the day of the week. It's great for big groups or between friends. I just love this place so much & will always go back. Thank you Daldongnae team for all your hard work! 🙏🏻
Personne nous a avisé que nous avions 2h pour le repas. À la fin nous avons commandé notre dessert pour nous faire dire que nous devions quitter. Si le personnel était venu nous voir pour enlever les plats à la fin de notre repas & qu'on nous aurait avisé lors de la réservation & au début du repas que nous avions 2h, l'expérience aurait fini mieux ! Dommage car le tout c'est terminé sur une note négative. Par contre, la nourriture était excellente !
My first time eating here was on March 26th & I had the pleasure of dining with my Korean friend. My friend explained the meaning of the name & interior features which make this restaurant quite special. The choice of meats is outstanding & the cuts were authentic Korean. The meal was great as was the service. It was a fun experience that can be enjoyed at any pace. The server was very helpful with ensuring my gluten allergy didn't get me into trouble. We were not rushed & were allowed plenty of time to enjoy the classic Chamisul soju. I highly recommend Daldongnae & look forward to returning soon.
C'était une première expérience de BBQ coréen pour moi & j'ai adoré ! Il y a une assiette végétarienne que je vous mets au défi de terminer. Nous avons tous passé un excellent moment. Les à-côtés (à volonté) sont très bons surtout le mais au fromage.
