Kalbi BBQ specializes in authentic Korean tabletop grilling where diners sear marinated meats and fresh vegetables directly at their tables. The menu features classic bulgogi and short ribs alongside an expansive selection of freshly prepared sushi rolls and nigiri. Side dishes known as banchan accompany the grilled proteins, providing a diverse range of traditional fermented flavors and textures. The interior layout emphasizes social interaction through integrated grills, facilitating a highly interactive cooking process for groups. Professional staff provide necessary guidance on grilling techniques to ensure optimal flavor development for each cut of meat. This establishment combines the intensity of high-heat Korean barbecue with the precise artistry of Japanese raw fish preparations. Patrons find a comprehensive menu that bridges two distinct culinary traditions within a single, functional space designed for efficient and communal preparation.
Kalbi BBQ offers an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and sushi experience that is widely enjoyed for its fun atmosphere, lively music, and unique robot servers. Most guests appreciate the variety of fresh meats, marinades, and well-prepared sushi, noting that the service is often remarkably quick and the staff is friendly and accommodating. While many patrons find the meal to be a great value for the variety provided, some diners feel the price is high, particularly when noting additional charges for certain items like lettuce or desserts and the automatic gratuity policy. Experiences regarding comfort vary, with some mentioning the space can be noisy, warm, or occasionally chilly depending on seating, but the general consensus highlights the restaurant as a memorable spot for groups, celebrations, and casual outings.
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.
Came here on a weekend not expecting much, & wow it was great! Atmosphere was amazing, the dj Chinito made the vibe a great place for late night eats. Definitely recommend!

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 😊
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 !!!
Keep up the great service! Fastest service I have ever received at a Korean BBQ place in Montreal. Mango jello dessert portion is good after having eaten tons of meat. I left this restaurant extremely full with an expanded stomach.
C'était bien, mais les sushis ne semblaient pas frais. Des morceaux trop gros nous tombaient sur le coeur. Je suis un peu déçu car mon partenaire avait eu une très bonne première expérience en octobre comparé à celle-ci… Rien à dire sur le staff & le service, c'était impeccable! Peut être revisiter la fraîcheur des ingrédients? Merci beaucoup!
