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 is a popular all-you-can-eat destination known for its fun, interactive dining experience where guests cook their own meats at the table. Many visitors praise the wide variety of menu items, including flavorful marinated meats, fresh sushi, and various side dishes, which are delivered to tables by unique robot servers. While most reviews highlight the quick service, lively atmosphere, and great value for the price, some diners have noted occasional issues with ambient noise, temperature fluctuations, and inconsistent meat quality or portion sizes. Despite mixed feedback regarding specific pricing policies and potential wait times, it remains a frequently recommended spot for groups and social gatherings in Montreal.
Première expérience
Nous avons été très bien accueillis.
Belle ambiance, j'ai adoré.
Les aliments sont cuits devant nous, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Nous avons profité de plusieurs plats & le concept à volonté est vraiment intéressant.
Je recommande vraiment! ⭐?
Nous etions un groupe de 8, nous avions reserver pour 21h la dame au téléphone me mentionne que la cuisine ferme a 10h. Arriver au restaurent le jeune me mentionne qu'il n'aurait pas du accepter une reservation a 21h car la cuisine ferme a 21h15. Rendu a cette heure la ben dur de trouver une autre place pour 8. Pas fort

Très agréable. Service rapide. Original & différent. Les sushis sont bons. La sauce mayo épicée manque de goût & la soupe won ton aussi. Pour le reste, nous avons tout aimé, nous avons passe une belle soirée & le service a été excellent!
Nous avions réservé pour vivre l'expérience BBQ sur plaque, mais ce fut une grande déception. Le gril fonctionnait très mal : notre nourriture est restée crue ou à peine chaude pendant près d'une heure (le brocoli était encore croquant après 45 minutes). Après avoir signalé le problème, le serveur a essayé de l'arranger, nous a demandé d'attendre voir si ça fonctionnait, puis on nous a dit qu'aucune autre table n'était disponible, alors que des clients sans réservation passaient devant nous. Le manager nous a ensuite conseillé de commander des sushis à la place, ce qui ne correspondait pas du tout à ce que nous étions venus vivre comme expérience. Nous avons voulu partir, mais on nous a demandé de payer pour la nourriture inutilisable, qui avait à peine chauffé sur le gril. Après 1h30 d'attente & de niaisage, nous avons enfin eu une table fonctionnelle, mais notre expérience a été teintée d'amertume.
I went during their lunch hours, mostly ordered chicken & beef which were tasty but the beef was extremely thinly sliced but juicy atleast so order alot! They have alot of side dish & sushi options! A cute robot cat comes to give you the stuff you order
You are limited to only 2 hours, so make sure you dont go over! Would've given a 5 stars if they haven't intentionally put a tip on my friend's bill. Regardless, the staff were quite nice & explained to us how everything works.
It was our first time trying this BBQ place, & my friends & I were really disappointed ☹?. There were six of us, & there was NO service. We arrived at around 4pm, the restaurant was NOT busy at that time.
No water was served after we were seated; our friend had to go to the counter to ask for it. The food-delivery machine would stop & drop off food, & we had to carry it, choose our own plates, & put the empty dishes back ourselves. The sauce bottle on our table was also empty.
We considered leaving a smaller tip since we didn't receive any service, but a staff member told us that a 15% tip was mandatory & would automatically be added to the bill because we were a party of six. I mean… okay 🙄.
This is the first place I've ever been to where you have to pay extra for lettuce at a $40+ Korean BBQ buffet. It makes no sense. Ice cream also costs extra. Unacceptable.
This place was okay. If you're looking for an authentic & good kbbq experience there's definetly other better options in Montreal. We came for lunch & the waitresses were nice & service was quick. Food was definitely nothing special. We got AYCE for lunch. Not much options for kbbq.
