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.
We had a great experience at this all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. For about $100 for two adults & one child, the meal felt like very good value considering the variety & quality of food available.
We tried several types of sushi, & everything tasted fresh & well prepared. The BBQ chicken was also a nice surprise-flavorful & a good option if you want something different between sushi dishes.
The all-you-can-eat format makes the experience very satisfying because you can try many different items without worrying about ordering just one dish. Overall, it was a fun & filling dining experience in a lively Chinatown location, & it's a great spot if you want plenty of variety & fresh sushi. 🍣🥢
WE WERE A GROUP OF 7 & THEY AUTOMATICALLY ADDED A 15% TIP & 15% TAX TO THE BILL. THAT WOULD BE FINE IF THE SERVICE MATCHED IT - BUT IT ABSOLUTELY DID NOT.
THE SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY SLOW. AFTER ORDERING, WE WAITED AROUND 20 MINUTES JUST FOR SOMEONE TO COME BACK TO OUR TABLE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
WE WERE GIVEN A 2-HOUR LIMIT, WHICH AGAIN WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE - BUT WHEN THERE WERE ABOUT 20 MINUTES LEFT, MY FRIEND ORDERED SUSHI & IT NEVER ARRIVED. NO EXPLANATION. NO APOLOGY. NOTHING.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO CHARGE A 30% AUTOMATIC GRATUITY, THE SERVICE SHOULD BE EXCELLENT. THIS WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE.
VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR GROUP DINNERS.
Très agréable. Service rapide. Original & différent. Les sushis sont bons. La sauce mayo épicée manque de goût & la soupe won ton aussi. Pour le reste, nous avons tout aimé, nous avons passe une belle soirée & le service a été excellent!
Nous avions réservé pour vivre l'expérience BBQ sur plaque, mais ce fut une grande déception. Le gril fonctionnait très mal : notre nourriture est restée crue ou à peine chaude pendant près d'une heure (le brocoli était encore croquant après 45 minutes). Après avoir signalé le problème, le serveur a essayé de l'arranger, nous a demandé d'attendre voir si ça fonctionnait, puis on nous a dit qu'aucune autre table n'était disponible, alors que des clients sans réservation passaient devant nous. Le manager nous a ensuite conseillé de commander des sushis à la place, ce qui ne correspondait pas du tout à ce que nous étions venus vivre comme expérience. Nous avons voulu partir, mais on nous a demandé de payer pour la nourriture inutilisable, qui avait à peine chauffé sur le gril. Après 1h30 d'attente & de niaisage, nous avons enfin eu une table fonctionnelle, mais notre expérience a été teintée d'amertume.

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.
Super expérience avec un groupe assez nombreux d'amis (7 personnes). Le prix est certes élevé (54 CAD après taxes le soir pour un menu à volonté en semaine) mais la qualité est bien présente, que ce soit au niveau des produits déjà préparés en cuisine (nous recommandons fortement les sushis'Quebec') & de la viande à faire cuire par nous-mêmes. Gustitativement parlant bien meilleur que les autres buffets asiatiques à volonté'classiques'.
Superbe première visite ❤ Tout était succulent . Nous n'avons pas essayé les sushis encore . Ça sera pour notre prochaine visite . Les grillades étaient excellentes . Les ailes de poulet frites WOW 😋✨
Ambiance festive mais pas trop bruyante .
Agréable moment au KALBI BBQ nous y retournerons .
Restaurant coréen all you can eat avec des sushis bons mais mous. La viande est excellente, mais les boissons alcoolisées ne sont pas très fortes pour leur prix, donc décevantes. Les desserts sont payants en extra, ce qui était frustrant. De plus, il faisait très chaud à l'intérieur. Je donne 3 étoiles, mais il y a du potentiel à améliorer.

Food was delicious served fresh & hot. Service was beyond amazing, the team really does their best to get the tables served fast & efficiently, for both food & drinks. Matt our server was super friendly & accommodating. We definitely recommend this restaurant for all sushi & Korean bbq grill cravings! Keep up the great work!
We had 8 ppl , 4 adults , 4 kids with 1 baby, 4 years, 8 & 12 years old. Total cost $289. One young guy server spoke Mandarin & counted my 12 years old as adult, I argued he shouldn't counted as an adult price , he said if he eats more that will count as adult( I never heard about this from Ontario having lived in Ontario for more than 20 years ) . At end my son only ate some beef , just like a child portion , my daughter only ate some sushi . & our 4 years niece ( she is very small due to premature ) had baby portion meal , so should she counted as baby price according to this server ( price based on how much you eat ??) my opinion: $289 for 8 people ( especially we didn't eat much ) not worth at all . We left less than 1 hr ( they have 2 hr limit time ) my suggestion : go to downtown Montreal they better meal deal there .
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.
Yummy food. Amazingly quick service. We were excited to have sushi after getting off our flight to Montreal. The food here did not disappoint! Notable mention to the mango&salmon roll which was absolutely delicious. We would go back 😊
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).
