About

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.

Review Summary

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.

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.
