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.
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.
Nous sommes allé manger au Kalbi ce vendredi midi, tout était délicieux (la côte de boeuf est incroyable). Le service A+ & mention spéciale aux petits robots tous mignons qui viennent nous porter nos plats ! Seul petit bémol, la salle de bain pourrait être plus propre mais sinon l'ambiance était très charmante. J'y reviendrai assurément!!
Ils nous obligent de mettre 15% de tips parce que nous sommes plus de 6 & servi par un robot, impossible de diviser la note par 7 à la fin. & la viande n'est pas aussi bonne pour payer 56 Dollars (Taxe+Tips)
Bonne bouffe, alcool un peu cher (30$ la bouteille de soju vendu 19$ dans le resto juste en dessous). Se faire servir par des robots c'est sympa mais le 15% de tip sur une facture de 95$ te reste un peu en travers de la gorge quand tu as vu ton serveur 2 fois pendant le repas (une fois pour te placer & une fois pour t'apportez ton alccol). Les serveurs ne prennent même pas les commandes, tu fais tout, tout seul sur ton téléphone. La prochaine fois je me tip moi même pour mon service...
First ever time I eat there & its freaking amazing, like the barbecue, the sushis, the robots that serve your food I love it. You have to try it for yourself because the theme & the fact that it's an all you can eat buffet was just perfect, i definitely recommend it to literally everyone that likes to eat because it's just that good. The Korean style cuisine with other Asian dish was the mixt I needed. You need to try eat yourself asap.
J' ai vraiment aime cette endroit tout était vraiment délicieux le service était vraiment rapide & les robots qui se promène vraiment une belle expérience a découvrir ils est certain que je vais y retourner avec. Plaisir.👍😁😁
Restaurant au concept vraiment génial! Très accueillant & d'une ambiance très conviviale!! Un peu dispendieux,mais pour l 'expérience, ça en vaut la peine!!! & que dire de ces charmants robots-serveurs!?!?!
