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.
Even if you value quantity over quality, there are still better options... Went twice for friends or work events. Quality is akin to the average asian all you can eat, the only "twist" is that there is k-bbq too. I have some fond memories of Korean bbq in South Korea but this restaurant is unfortunately very far from this & an address I usually recommend against... 4 stars for service because it's fun getting your plates from the cat robot.

Meilleur BBQ Korean de Montréal! La nourriture est excellente & la viande est de qualité. Il y a des papiers à mettre sur la plaque de cuisson pour l'hygiène, ce qui est très bien! Les petites robots qui amènent votre nourriture sont très efficaces. Je recommande à 100% & c'est l'un des meilleurs restos de Montréal!
This is my second visit. Its a favorite so far. This is a place where you grill your own food right at your table. There is a good selection of food, both grill-able & really good sushi. There's different meats, veggies, & so on to keep you happy. It's all you can eat, so it's pricier like those are. They also charge you for uneaten pieces (not a problem for my party, we ate it all). So order the dishes according to how hungry you are & don't go nuts. There's drinks (non alcohol & with alcohol) for sale (not included in the all you can eat price), & desserts (some are included, some not). You get a 2 hour sitting limit (I assume so they can get more customers in). I found it was enough for my party, because the food came quickly (& we were 2 people). TWe tried to reserve in advance for a Friday dinner, & they said they don't reserve on weekends, which I thought was weird, but we just came earlier that the time the recommended we come before to ensure a seat. Also: you get served by cute cat themed robot'waiters'. Tldr: Pricy, but worth it.
J'aime beaucoup cet endroit, l'ambiance est conviviale & agréable & la nourriture est excellente. Si vous y allez, je vous recommande d'essayer le combo riz, kimchi, concombre mariné & viande de votre choix, c'est un vrai délice.

Fantastic AYCE BBQ & sushi! Everything was delicious. Favourite BBQ item was spicy sausage. Made a reservation. It was very easy to do online. We arrived with a few extra in our party & they were able to accommodate us. We were grateful. We got a QR code to scan to order. It's a live updating group order for the table, so just be aware for your party as you add & submit orders. If you order multiples of the same item, it's likely to be combined & arrive on a larger plate. Also, it's a busy place! Make sure to stay on top of what you ordered, especially if it's not part of the AYCE menu with an extra charge. There were a few crossed wires with ordering but my party was fine to eat anything that came (e.g. broccoli tempura vs norrmall broccoli). Smaller orders are likely to be delivered by one of their cute kitty robots! The staff are super helpful & responsive if you need to follow up on anything. The grills were flat tops & there is parchment paper to cook on. Makes for easy cleaning when you want to refresh your cooking surface. Overall the staff were so great & friendly! We were ordering soju & bottles of beer. Someone who was reviewing our orders came over to let us know he could see what we were trying to do & recommended a combination on promotion. How kind!! Also we did a group photo & they let us have the robot cat server join our party. It was awesome! We all had so much fun. & for anyone new to KBBQ reading this, a reminder that you will smell like it after the overhead suction fans can only do so much but definitely better than places that don't have them.
Amazing food & service multiple times I ate there & always found the service great & my server Frank was the best server I ever had I really recommend the place.
My first time here, I saw great reviews so I was excited, the service was fantastic, great servers, cute robots, & fast service. The was great, I loved the basa fish, lots of flavour, all the sushi is amazing, everything was fresh. I definitely recommend getting a reservation, I didn't & we had to wait 30-40 minutes for a table, it was very busy. We will definitely come back

Belle expérience en général. Beaucoup de bruit malheureusement parce que les assiettes sont tomber des robots à 3 reprises. On a pas aviser que la cuisine allait fermer donc on voulait recommander & on n'a pas pu. On a fini sur un goût amer de la soirée avec une grosse facture. On avait de la difficulté à avoir des enseignements c'était notre première fois. La nourriture c'était bon les robots c'est le fun mais pour le reste c'était moyen.
This is my go to & all time favourite all you can eat in Montreal! The food is great quality & the flavours are amazing. There's a big variety of protein options available -anything from poultry, read meat, & seafood. The variety of sushi available here is crazy! There's so many type of sushi to select. My favourites were the dragon eyes & Philadelphia rolls. There's also a robot that brings the some of the little snacks & drinks. Customer service is always good. As for the price it is a little pricey but totally worth the money & experience. Highly recommend everyone to try it out at least once.
First & best korean bbq so far! My family & I loved eating there, especially since there was plenty of new food to try out. The service & ordering system was quick & efficient, our server was very nice & chatty, which made the experience even better. Their robot servers were also very fun to watch around, & the employees in general were very friendly. The food is AMAZING, truly one of the best place to celebrate, since the price for the quantity of food is quite balanced. There's also a fitting option for children in the menu such as; chicken wings, fries, ect. Overall, the experience of eating there is a 5/5 for me, I would recommend it 100%!
We went there yesterday with friends for lunch, It was busy but not too crowded. Excellent atmosphere & food. Service was also great & had good timing. I think it's our 4th or 5th time going, & always a reliably pleasant experience. Definitely recommend.
Staff is super friendly, the food was pretty good though there are not many meat options. Unfortunately, our table was getting rained on from the ceiling, a combination of water & grease dripping from the rafters onto our heads, plates, grill, into the drinks, etc. It was as gross as it sounds though at first I thought it was a few drops here & there, I let our server know about it & he said he would take care of it, I asked for a large stack of napkins fully expecting to be moved to a dry table but instead had to ask again for those napkins as he had forgotten. I think it was just our table & I can not for the life of me, understand why they allowed it to be booked when they obviously knew about this issue. I took some pictures of the insufficient preparations they had obviously done to mitigate the problem. You will notice dish trays in the rafters as well as paper towels. We ate our dinner but we might as well have eaten outside in the rain. All in all. I would not recommend Kalbi BBQ.
Une belle découverte ! Séoul Chako était ma place où manger du korean bbq. Depuis sa fermeture, une partie de moi est parti avec lui. Mais attendez!!! Le Kalbi a ramené cette partie perdue & j'ai été enchanté par leur décoration & leur ambiance chill! Nourriture? 7.5/10. Dont get me wrong! Ma bouche a été BÉNIE par les différents plats, mais j'ai l'impression qu'ils auraient pu mariner le tout avec des épices & un goût un peu plus complexes pour nous permettre de voyager dans un univers de plaisir gustatif. Du style : hmmmm, je suis en Corée !! Bref! Vous voulez manger à plusieurs pour une fête ? Ou un tête à tête avec votre conjoint? Perso, je vous le recommande! Bon appétit !!!!
