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.
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.
I visited for the first time on a Friday around 5:00 pm, & I was genuinely impressed. The hostess who seated us was incredibly friendly & even spoke French, which was a nice touch. Our server, Jacky, was an absolute gem-super attentive & kind. One thing that really stood out was their use of technology, like the chat robots. It added a fun, modern twist to the experience. Now, let's talk about the food-the beef was perfectly marinated & bursting with flavor. I've been to Seoul Chako before, & honestly, Kalbi outshined it by far. However, I found the shrimp to be a bit bland, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the combination of great service, delicious food, & innovative tech made for an awesome experience. I'll definitely be back with my family & friends!

Resto correct dans l'ensemble. Cependant, les serveurs ont le droit de sourire. La nourriture était correct dans l'ensemble , mais j'ai étais très déçu par la viande pas très bonne , on se demande où vont nos 40dollards chacun. Le minimum de pourboire est exagéré. Pour finir les toilettes sont catastrophique. Les robots sont plus utile que le personnel !
I suggest to reserve a table if you're going, queue can get pretty long. I'd say this kind of places are more for the fun & experience of grilling your own food at the table than it is for the food itself. Sushi & others ready to eat food is also available, tasty & fresh. Of course the point is grilling so sushi is a plus, nice gimmick is they also have robots bringing food to your table. We were 6 & the table was a bit crowded with little space where to put the trays. Staff were great & quick at serving. Overall good experience & nice to try, a bit on the expensive side though, after taxes & tip we were at 60 per person.
The restaurant itself is cute with the twinkle lights etc. It has a robot that delivers the food to the tables which is quirky & fun. Otherwise I found it just ok.
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%!
First time there & it was really nice ! Our server explained really well the service he told us the price the included 15% tips since we where 6 people & the time limit he was wearing a maid apron probably because it was rhe otakuthon order arrived fast on the kitty cat robot (if you pet it on the head it can do different faces very funny try it) the food was really good too & two of the table ordered soju bomb the server yelled a chant for this specific drink again it was really funny ! We didnt hit the time limit because evrybody where full after an hour & a halffor the "bad" point i took a pina colada it was 12.99$ & i was a lil bit deceived because it was a regular glass & it was hot not cold & when it was time to pay i didnt really understood my bill ...so the 15% was included but there wasnt anything on the bill to say so & when he passed me the card machine it was given the tips option starting at 18% i was confused since i tought the tips was already included... the server was so nice & deserved is tips so i just told myself fudge it & gave 18% more for a total of 75$ only for myself ... i really do hope our server got his well deserved tips only for himself!

Our waiter Sam gave us such an amazing service. She always made sure we were well taken care of, despite how busy it was. She had such high energy & an amazingly bubbly personality. The robot was unique, but our waiter Sam is what made our experience so memorable.
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

Dangggg is the rating low here People out here complaining about the food in the reviews? My girlfriend & I had a blast going through all the food! Ate too much meat & sushi for an all you can eat Ordered a small bottle of sake to wash all the food down while talking Imagine my surprise once the bill finally came rolling it 130$ + 15% tip is insaneeeee Really expensive But had a great time Nice cute little robots servers rolling around so that was cute & nice relaxing ambiance In my personal experience This place is better than other all you can eat like Sota because the food definitely tasted better Will come back for any special occasion once my wallet stops bleeding
Restaurant avec un formule à volonté intéressant. C'est vous même qui cuisiné votre viande (boeuf, poulet, agneau, crevettes) sur un mini grille incorporé à la table. Il y également des sushis & les accompagnements à volonté. L'ensemble des plats commandés sont livrés à table par un robot. Les enfants ont adoré.
J'ai toujours eu une bonne expérience en allant à ce restaurant! Le service est excellent (même les robots ^^), la nourriture est délicieuse & variée & on en ressort toujours extrêmement satisfaits. Seul bémol: il peut y avoir de l'attente si vous y allez un samedi soir.

This is the best sushi I've ever had! Loved the cat robot. Everyone was so nice!!! But the food- by far the best meal I've had in my entire life. The line was worth the wait!- reviewed by my 11 year old. But I loved it too!
I came with a friend right when they opened on February 3rd, 2024. The food came quickly, & was delivered by a robot. It's walking distance from place d'armes metro, & had good quality food. It came up to 43$ with tax & tip on the weekend lunch menu. I have attached the menu prices in the review.
Very nice & cozy restaurant to go with your friend & enjoy the buffet. Food is fresh & the cat robot will make you want to order a lot to see it come at your table.
