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.
Très mauvais expérience, inconfortable mauvais éclairage, très mauvais concept, (à volonté) avec robot , on doit commander avec telehonne &, ça ne marche pas, pour nous un seul appareil par table a fonctionné. 41$ + tx pour manger une minuscule soupe wongtong, dessert non compris, pas de service, le robot arrive on ne sais pas qui a commandé, ça été affreux l'horreur, j'ai détesté ma soirée.
Cool robot servers, but the tables a bit too tight for them to be easy to access the trays. Food is fine for the price, but I wish the LA kalbi (beef short ribs) was seasoned more, as the kalbi sauce is closer to a gojujiang mixed down than a traditional marinade.
Either way, it's fine, & is what the locals probably expect from AYCE KBBQ.

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.
Ça faisait longtemps que nous voulions essayer ce resto & nous n'avons pas été déçues.
La nourriture à volonté était excellente & en valait totalement le prix pour ce dîner entre deux amies. Le service, soit par le robot ou encore les deux serveurs sur place, était exemplaire.
Seul bémol: l'endroit très peu bondé un jour de semaine de mauvais temps, a fait en sorte qu'il faisait très frais dans le resto. Nous nous sommes réchauffées avec la plaque chauffante😅.
Le personnel nous a bien expliqué comment ça fonctionne pour les commandes. C'est original de commander notre nourriture en ligne, & en plus c'est à volonté. L'ambiance est incroyable, surtout avec les serveurs robots c'est unique & vraiment amusant ! Ça change vraiment des autres restaurants. Le restaurant avait une belle décoration. La nourriture était délicieuse & bien fraîche. Tout arrive vite & on peut goûter à plein de choses.

Underwhelming Experience, nothing special we decided to give it a try to see if it was better than other spots we've been to. Unfortunately, it turned out to be disappointing.
The sushi quality just wasn't there, & the dessert lacked any appeal, though we still gave it a try. One unique feature is the robot that delivers your orders, which was a fun & interesting touch.
Portion sizes were decent, but the price didn't match the quality. You could definitely enjoy better food elsewhere for the same cost.
The atmosphere was rather dull, although it was quiet which some may find relaxing.
I went last night with some friends to celebrate a birthday. We had a fantastic time. Wait staff was super cool. Food was great. Service was fast despite being really busy.
Service hyper rapide !
Incroyable carte de sushi mais pas seulement, une carte très variée.
Service très fun réalisé par un robot !
Bien situé dans le quartier chinois de Montréal.
45 $ par personne à volonté ( demi tarif pour les enfants jusqu'à 12 ans).
Très bon.
Je conseille de réserver sinon un peu d'attente ( entre 15 & 30 minutes en fin de semaine).
Mon conjoint & moi sommes allé au Kalbi Bbq dans le quartier chinois de Montréal pour la première fois & ce n'était certainement pas la dernière !! Le principe est d'aller tout d'abord sur leur page de commande à l'aide d'un code QR qui vous est remis au début. Ensuite vous commandez le nombre de portions désiré par article proposé (soupe, viande, fruits de mer, légumes fruits, friture, sauce, sushi) Tout vous est livré dans les minutes qui suivent par un robot chat!!! Sur votre table vous avez un grill intégré ainsi que des sauces & épices pour faire griller & agrémenter vos grillades.Tout était parfait: le service est impeccable, la nourriture (a volonté) est bien proportionné afin d'éviter le gaspillage (1$ par portion gaspillé), la fraîcheur des aliments était indiscutable, TOUT goûtait tellement bon!!! Ce restaurant est devenu notre nouveau resto préféré !!!

Fresh meats, tasty marinades, & great service! We were served by Matt & he was attentive & efficient. The pork belly & miso beef were especially delicious, & the side dishes were flavorful & unlimited. Fun, lively atmosphere with cute lights & cat robots, perfect for group dinners.
Will definitely be back!
Restaurant très intéressant à aller visiter! Le concept de faire cuire sa propre viande avec la plaque au centre de la table est super. La commande se fait à partir d'appareils électroniques. Plusieurs choix disponibles & pour le goût, c'était super aussi. Pour le prix, c'est un peu dispendieux pour deux personnes c'était proche de 120$ mais nous avions mangé à notre faim ! Je vais y retourner bientôt, c'est certain! C'était plaisant de se faire servir nos plats par des robots. Des fois des robots, des fois des serveurs.
The food was fine, the experience also. Some of the food was brought to our table by a little robot. Kids enjoyed it. We had to cook some of our food on the heat plate on the table. We select our food through the phone with the QR code. Images could be deceiving as it shows 3 pieces of beef & only had one on the dish. It cost 44$ each, & what we got as in quantity is not worth that price. Expect to pay 1$ for each item if you want to bring home with you on top of your diner. Bowls of rice were bland missing salt, dry & all stuck together, not freshly cooked maybe a few hours old. It was our first time & our last time there.
Very very good food & quality, service from our little robot was fast too. I tried a drink special'Whiskey Peach Iced Tea' which was well balanced with whisky & sweet tea. It was $43/person on a Sunday night
Amazing place; food was *chef's kiss* ! I love the concept of ordering with your phone & it gets delivered to you through a little cat robot, so cute. If you're looking for a sushi place, this isn't it: I've had better sushis at other places. But everything else, including the service, was great. Will go back for sure.
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.
