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 draws a mix of impressions, with fast service and a vibrant, crowd-friendly ambiance that many reviewers enjoy, especially the all-you-can-eat format that offers a wide range of meats and sushi, and the playful robot servers that add fun to the meal. The dining experience is often described as value for money and easy to share with friends, with convenient ordering and efficient cooking at the table. On the other hand, some guests note inconsistent freshness, items that are missing or priced extra (like certain desserts or lettuce), and price-to-value concerns, along with reports of high noise levels, heat or cold pockets, and occasional delays or seating issues. Overall Kalbi BBQ is seen as a fun, energetic option with good service and solid variety, but not every visit meets expectations in freshness, comfort, or pricing.
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 !!!!

2e visite la-bas & c'était super. Service en français & anglais & les serveurs était à leurs affaire. Nourriture délicieuse. Seule chose que j'aime pas c'est qu'ils mettent une limite de temps. Tu peux seulement y être 2 heures de temps. Bien que ce soit assez pour manger, j'aime mieux le concept de pouvoir y être le temps que je veux. Desfois tu es en groupe & ça parle parle jase jase. Dans l'ensemble je donne un 9 sur 10 & je le recommende.
Been here a couple times & the food has always been top notch. Great quality, especially considering it's an "all you can eat" establishment. Matt offered us a great service tonight! I definitely recommend.

The food, service & ambiance are all amazing!! The food comes quick & all are fresh & flavourful. Would 100% recommend this place !!! Thank you Khoi for the admirable service!
I would recommend trying this when it's not rush hour (lunch or dinner time) because the food you ordered will either be forgotten or will be super delayed. Their food is decent, but not excellent, & I liked the variety compared to some of the KBBQ's I've tried. I absolutely LOVE their sauce, it might be gochujang I don't remember, but it was sweet & a little to no spicy at all. Their staff are very nice though but we had to wait for like 5 minutes before we were seated even though it wasn't busy at all. Their robot server was cute, too, but not convenient DURING rush hour. We ordered so much stuff but we never received most of it so it was a little disappointing - though we went around 11:30. Parking is limited so I would recommend walking or bus. The stairs leading up to the restaurant is VERY steep, just a warning.
Food is fine, they were out of two drinks we wanted. Our waiters/waitresses were nice but many times they forgot to bring us our drinks, & food. Also the system had issues & even though we ordered some stuff, sometimes it came twice or not at all, another time we had to directly ask them "hey you forgot our drinks" & only then did they tell us the kitchen was out of these, but it was not indicated on the system (phone ) to order. Ultimately we changed what we wanted & ended up having a great night. It is a very friendly & communal vibe, the choices they have is vast & I was happily surprised at some of the options(did no expect them to taste good.) I dont recommend the fish, but I do recommend the beer Tsingtao(I'm not a drinker or a beer person, but it paired nicely with the grilled meat). *dumplings, ribs, beer, mussels were my finds of the night, & which I would recommend. I don't think its wheelchair accessible, the stairs to enter are very steep, & unless they have a secret entry at the back, I dont see how someone could enter the establishment. Technically if you had someone who could lift you up, all their tables have enough space that it could fit a wheelchair, but definitely no wheelchair entry. Final word, the machine is so cute, its sorta not perfect it hits wall, & stuff but it makes little faces like happy or sad or angry so 10/10 would give a tip to the robot carrying trays

Les viandes & les sushi étaient frais & délicieux ! C'est étonnant que ce ne soit pas achalandé les midis de weekend. Le prix de $32,99 est raisonnable pour un bbq à volonté. Je recommande le porc, puisque la marinade est plus goûteuse, contrairement aux viandes de boeuf. Les serveurs sont très gentils & amicaux.
La seule raison pourquoi j'inscris 4 étoiles sur 5 est que nous avons appelé la journée même afin de réserver une table pour être certain d'avoir une place étant donné que nous étions vendredi. Au téléphone la personne qui a répondu nous a mentionné que Kalbi n'effectuais pas de réservation pour les groupes de 4 personnes & moins. Nous nous sommes donc présenter le soir même (sans réservation) & en arrivant à la porte on nous mentionné que nous aurions mieux fait de réserver parce qu'il n'y a pas de place pour notre groupe. La personne à la porte nous a mentionné que nous aurions eu droit de faire une réservation pour notre groupe de 4 personnes. Après discussion avec l'employé sur place elle a réussi à nous trouver une place & nous avons pu être rassasier. C'est seulement désolant que les employés n'ont pas la même information. Après tout nous avons eu un excellent service & je recommande fortement ce magnifique restaurant. Comme quoi la patience & le respect remporte toujours, soyez en paix!
