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.
Reviewers describe Kalbi BBQ as a lively all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in Montreal with a strong appeal for meat lovers and groups, thanks to the table grills, broad menu, and playful robot servers, and many praise the friendly service and vibrant atmosphere. The concept of ordering by phone and the overall value when fully utilized are frequent positives, with many noting the quality and variety of meats, sushi options, and other sides. However, several comments point to higher prices for certain items and the fact that some staples like lettuce, desserts, and some sides are not included in the all-you-can-eat, along with occasional menu changes and shortages. A number of reviews mention long waits on weekends or during peak hours and mention that the space can feel loud or smoky, with ventilation sometimes criticized. Some guests feel the experience leans toward fusion rather than authentic Korean BBQ and advise reservations to avoid lines, while many still say they would return for the fun, tasty food, and the sense of novelty the concept provides.
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.
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! ⭐?
Truly a wonderful place to eat (even with the clankers delivering the food) the service was great the food was exceptional & the vibes were awesome 10/10 would recommend
Super expérience avec un groupe assez nombreux d'amis (7 personnes). Le prix est certes élevé (54 CAD après taxes le soir pour un menu à volonté en semaine) mais la qualité est bien présente, que ce soit au niveau des produits déjà préparés en cuisine (nous recommandons fortement les sushis'Quebec') & de la viande à faire cuire par nous-mêmes. Gustitativement parlant bien meilleur que les autres buffets asiatiques à volonté'classiques'.

The meal was enjoyable, the experience was very fun, & the ambiance was pleasant as well. Recommended for couples or groups of friends looking to have a good time together.
Our server Susanna was really nice & kind. The food was also really good & I would recommend going with friends, especially during any event taking place at palais de congress
J'ai énormément apprécié ma première fois à kalibi. J'ai été servie par une serveuse au nom de Céline elle m'a fait adorer mon expérience avec sa bonne humeur & son service impeccable avoir j'espère rencontrer d'autre serveuse elle. Je recommande ce restaurant à plein d'autre personne.

Food was delicious served fresh & hot. Service was beyond amazing, the team really does their best to get the tables served fast & efficiently, for both food & drinks. Matt our server was super friendly & accommodating. We definitely recommend this restaurant for all sushi & Korean bbq grill cravings! Keep up the great work!
Il fait extrêmement chaud dans le restaurant, la nourriture est correcte mais les portions de viandes à faire cuire sont très petites il faut être patient. le service est super agréable & courtois , malheureusement je trouve la facture salée. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant bruyant pour une première rencontre amoureuse mais pour une souper entre amis oui.
Came here on a weekend not expecting much, & wow it was great! Atmosphere was amazing, the dj Chinito made the vibe a great place for late night eats. Definitely recommend!
Un endroit fantastique! La nourriture est variée & délicieuse. On en a vraiment pour notre argent! Il faut y aller à plusieurs pour l'ambiance. Je recommende fortement ce lieu

I don't really tend to take time & give reviews, but i recommend you should visit this place. You get to taste various dishes that have been made with passion. Good food & it arrives fast at the table. Excellent service from HyoRi :)
Really fun place to come with friends, I came on a Saturday & with no reservation took only 30 mins to get a seat. I recommend coming earlier since parking is hard to find with this construction! Kelly is so sweet gave us the best service!
Love this place! The guy who took our reservation on the phone & our waiter were both amazing. They were so kind, professional & accommodated us in every way. Would highly recommend :)
Food is well seasoned & taste really good, I sincerely enjoyed it. Service is quick & efficient. Staff is friendly & ambiance is festive. Strongly recommend it.
Ambiance & cuisine 5/5 rien a dire
Nous étions 8 un grand groupe pour se genre de resto, nous avons commandé des entre frite ( rouleaux impérieux, crevette tempura ect ) nous les avons pas reçus, les viande & tout un coup commandé c'était assez rapide les recevoir, mais le reste non,
Mais nous étions quand même un grand groupe & le restaurant était plein, alors je pardonne
Je recommande cette endroit pour un groupe de 6 personne maximum
