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.
La nourriture était bonne, les viandes étaient bien assaisonnées, les sushis manquaient un peu de saveur & la présentation pourrait être améliorée, mais nous étions satisfaits.
J'y suis allée plusieurs fois & c'est toujours une belle ambiance. J'aime le fait qu'on puisse commander avec notre téléphone directement. Ce serait bien que l'on puisse être plus que deux téléphones par table pour commander. Aussi, j'ai toujours aimé le format All you can eat, par contre, il y a quelques items qui ne devraient pas être en surplus selon moi, comme la laitue ou la crème glacée (qui était incluse avant). Quand même une super expérience & un endroit où j'aime retourner!
I love this place! The food is always fresh & for an amazing price. I always have a great time coming here. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars for the atmosphere is because they need a better ventilation system. Last time I was there I was choking for at least 30 min because of the smoke inside. Also make sure you get a reservation otherwise you'll have to wait in a long line to get inside.
The food was fine, the experience also. Some of the food was brought to our table by a little robot. Kids enjoyed it. We had to cook some of our food on the heat plate on the table. We select our food through the phone with the QR code. Images could be deceiving as it shows 3 pieces of beef & only had one on the dish. It cost 44$ each, & what we got as in quantity is not worth that price. Expect to pay 1$ for each item if you want to bring home with you on top of your diner. Bowls of rice were bland missing salt, dry & all stuck together, not freshly cooked maybe a few hours old. It was our first time & our last time there.
Pas pire de choix de nourriture avec d'autres choix de Sake en plus. Sur plusieurs items que j'ai commandé, la seule qui m'a déçu est le boneless chicken wing, mais le reste des choses était très bonnes! Bon service en plus, les assiettes & plats sont vites tassés de la table.

Une des plus belles expériences de resto que j'ai eu avec des petits chats serveurs! La bouffe est bonne , mon drink aussi !! & notre serveur Yan avait le meilleur service ! J'ai eu la chance de lui dire , mais je le redis ici ! Encore merci ! Définitivement dans mes resto favoris !
It was not my favorite.
I feel like the meat was too sweet for some reason. Maybe marinated this way? We ordered different types of meat but it all tasted the same. You couldn't tell the difference.
We ordered some cooked meat, but it was too dry, almost impossible to chew. Very unpleasant.
But the biggest issue for me was the ventilation. It is too weak. We came between the first customers & within minutes after every table started to BBQ the smell & the fog was everywhere. When we left all our outfits & our jackets smelled burned BBQ.
& it took days to get the smell out of it. Some jackets we had to get to dry cleaning.
Very unpleasant. Will not go to Kalbi anymore.
Staff was nice, fast & polite
Love this place! The guy who took our reservation on the phone & our waiter were both amazing. They were so kind, professional & accommodated us in every way. Would highly recommend :)
Food is well seasoned & taste really good, I sincerely enjoyed it. Service is quick & efficient. Staff is friendly & ambiance is festive. Strongly recommend it.
Ambiance & cuisine 5/5 rien a dire
Nous étions 8 un grand groupe pour se genre de resto, nous avons commandé des entre frite ( rouleaux impérieux, crevette tempura ect ) nous les avons pas reçus, les viande & tout un coup commandé c'était assez rapide les recevoir, mais le reste non,
Mais nous étions quand même un grand groupe & le restaurant était plein, alors je pardonne
Je recommande cette endroit pour un groupe de 6 personne maximum
