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.
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%!
We went there yesterday with friends for lunch, It was busy but not too crowded. Excellent atmosphere & food. Service was also great & had good timing. I think it's our 4th or 5th time going, & always a reliably pleasant experience. Definitely recommend.

Súper J'ai adoré la nourriture, la rapidité pour recevoir les plats ☺️ Mais il faisait trop chaud 🥵 Il faudrait améliorer la ventilation de l'endroit 🙏🏽
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!
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.

Beef was tough & no flavor. Beef rib was way too salty. The rice is low quality & dry. Service is slow after the first order it seems & sometimes they miss orders. The sushi is ok but not worth the all you can eat price.
Kalbi BBQ est une bonne adresse de barbecue coréen à Montréal. La nourriture est de qualité, avec des viandes savoureuses coupées en fines tranches & des légumes frais. Le service est agréable & attentionné, & le rapport qualité-prix est bon.
It was an ok experience. The sushi rolls were a strong 4 out of 5, without anything outstanding. Our group did not like the fact that the desserts were all gone (it was 4pm). The staff were just smiling & shrugging their shoulders.

Sushis are very mediocre, meet is ok but very much not worth the price. The staf is very friendly & the ambiance is excellent but they need to work on the food it is quite lacking.
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.
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 !!!!
Sushi & BBQ were very good but some orders came very slow, better double check with the waiter. & it was very crowded when the dinner time so better do reservations before coming.
La nourriture est bonne, rien à dire. Notre serveuse , Claire, était super gentille & son travail est exemplaire. Un seul point négatif, un employé est venu sans avoir été appelé & m'a enlevé mes baguettes brusquement de mon bol pour le mettre sur le côté & il m'a surveiller durant tout mon repas💀.
