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 amazing & very fast. A bit pricey, but you get a lot for it.

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

Les viandes & les sushi étaient frais & délicieux ! C'est étonnant que ce ne soit pas achalandé les midis de weekend. Le prix de $32,99 est raisonnable pour un bbq à volonté. Je recommande le porc, puisque la marinade est plus goûteuse, contrairement aux viandes de boeuf. Les serveurs sont très gentils & amicaux.

Excellent. Merci à notre serveur Frank pour l'excellent service. Nous avons apprécié. Un samedi soir, il y a beaucoup d'attente, mais l'expérience en vaut la peine. C'était très bon & le service extrêmement rapide.

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.
