Kalbi Korean BBQ, grill and sushi all you can eat - Our concept its Paper grilling - the newest invention in Korean BBQ. Korean paper BBQ: Paper BBQ is an innovation in South Korean cuisine. The grill is covered with a special paper, absorbing the excess oil produced by the meat without losing its flavor and nutritional value. Hence, the food keeps its moisture and spices. The paper sheet is disposable, that helps to retain excess fat and cleanliness of the grill. This is a Elegant and comfortable decorate restaurant, and the dim light effect which makes the environment relaxing and perfect for a date, friends, group party (2 private rooms for 20 and 30 people) and families! Also we have the ventilation system for each table that exhausts the smoke from the grill, very enjoyable.
Kalbi BBQ offers an all you can eat Korean barbecue experience with a central grill, a wide selection of meats, sushi and sides, ordered on your phone and delivered by playful robot servers alongside attentive staff. The concept and atmosphere are repeatedly cited as its strengths, making it a popular spot for groups and casual outings, with fast service and a lively, modern vibe. Several reviews praise the freshness and marination of meats and the variety of dishes, including sushi options, while noting that some items can be pricey and a few flavors feel underwhelming or generic for the price. A recurring caveat is the variable value and occasional shortages or additional charges for certain items like desserts or per-item portions, plus after-tax tipping policies that some find unclear. Weekend and peak times can bring long waits unless a reservation is made, and the inside can feel very warm and noisy, with ventilation sometimes criticized for not handling the smoke well. Still, many diners say the all you can eat format and the fun service make Kalbi BBQ worth a return visit, especially when dining with friends or family.
Meilleur BBQ Coréen à Montréal! Tu paye pour ce que tu mange ! Sinon vas au buffet « chinois » de ton quartier à prix modique, les mauvais commentaires ? Ferme ta yeule pis vas manger des egg rolls chez Wign Wign Tremblay & frères …
WE WERE A GROUP OF 7 & THEY AUTOMATICALLY ADDED A 15% TIP & 15% TAX TO THE BILL. THAT WOULD BE FINE IF THE SERVICE MATCHED IT - BUT IT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT.
THE SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY SLOW. AFTER ORDERING, WE WAITED AROUND 20 MINUTES JUST FOR SOMEONE TO COME BACK TO OUR TABLE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
WE WERE GIVEN A 2-HOUR LIMIT, WHICH AGAIN WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE - BUT WHEN THERE WERE ABOUT 20 MINUTES LEFT, MY FRIEND ORDERED SUSHI & IT NEVER ARRIVED. NO EXPLANATION. NO APOLOGY. NOTHING.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE A 30% AUTOMATIC GRATUITY, THE SERVICE SHOULD BE EXCELLENT. THIS WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE.
VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR GROUP DINNERS.
I've been to Kalbi many times in the past & loved my experience every time.
Yesterday, I went back for the first time in a while & we noticed a few changes, mainly in the menu. I was very disappointed to see that they charge you extra for a few pieces of lettuce & ice cream?? I feel like those are things that should always be included… Saddest part is that we ordered Mango jelly & caramel flan just to find out that they were out of them so we didn't even get any good desserts. Not sure if it's really a big deal, but we made a reservation for 8pm & had to wait over 20 mins before getting a table (we were there on time & a lot of people were also waiting in line)
We went on a Saturday night. It was $44 per adult & $29 per kid.
Unfortunately, many items were unavailable or required an extra charge, especially in the dessert section. That said, the food overall was unimpressive for the price.
The experience is quite basic, good for those who are new to Korean BBQ & don't know too well. For a similar price, places like Gyubee are way better in terms of quality & variety.
Reservation is required if you don't have to wait over an hour. They charge 15% for groups of 5 people & more.

Première expérience
Nous avons été très bien accueillis.
Belle ambiance, j'ai adoré.
Les aliments sont cuits devant nous, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Nous avons profité de plusieurs plats & le concept à volonté est vraiment intéressant.
Je recommande vraiment! ⭐?
Nous etions un groupe de 8, nous avions reserver pour 21h la dame au téléphone me mentionne que la cuisine ferme a 10h. Arriver au restaurent le jeune me mentionne qu'il n'aurait pas du accepter une reservation a 21h car la cuisine ferme a 21h15. Rendu a cette heure la ben dur de trouver une autre place pour 8. Pas fort
Très agréable. Service rapide. Original & différent. Les sushis sont bons. La sauce mayo épicée manque de goût & la soupe won ton aussi. Pour le reste, nous avons tout aimé, nous avons passe une belle soirée & le service a été excellent!
Nous avions réservé pour vivre l'expérience BBQ sur plaque, mais ce fut une grande déception. Le gril fonctionnait très mal : notre nourriture est restée crue ou à peine chaude pendant près d'une heure (le brocoli était encore croquant après 45 minutes). Après avoir signalé le problème, le serveur a essayé de l'arranger, nous a demandé d'attendre voir si ça fonctionnait, puis on nous a dit qu'aucune autre table n'était disponible, alors que des clients sans réservation passaient devant nous. Le manager nous a ensuite conseillé de commander des sushis à la place, ce qui ne correspondait pas du tout à ce que nous étions venus vivre comme expérience. Nous avons voulu partir, mais on nous a demandé de payer pour la nourriture inutilisable, qui avait à peine chauffé sur le gril. Après 1h30 d'attente & de niaisage, nous avons enfin eu une table fonctionnelle, mais notre expérience a été teintée d'amertume.
I went during their lunch hours, mostly ordered chicken & beef which were tasty but the beef was extremely thinly sliced but juicy atleast so order alot! They have alot of side dish & sushi options! A cute robot cat comes to give you the stuff you order
You are limited to only 2 hours, so make sure you dont go over! Would've given a 5 stars if they haven't intentionally put a tip on my friend's bill. Regardless, the staff were quite nice & explained to us how everything works.
It was our first time trying this BBQ place, & my friends & I were really disappointed ☹?. There were six of us, & there was NO service. We arrived at around 4pm, the restaurant was NOT busy at that time.
No water was served after we were seated; our friend had to go to the counter to ask for it. The food-delivery machine would stop & drop off food, & we had to carry it, choose our own plates, & put the empty dishes back ourselves. The sauce bottle on our table was also empty.
We considered leaving a smaller tip since we didn't receive any service, but a staff member told us that a 15% tip was mandatory & would automatically be added to the bill because we were a party of six. I mean… okay 🙄.
This is the first place I've ever been to where you have to pay extra for lettuce at a $40+ Korean BBQ buffet. It makes no sense. Ice cream also costs extra. Unacceptable.
