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.
I recently visited there & was disappointed with their reservation system & service. Although I had made a booking, there was no staff at the entrance to assist guests. As a result, a large crowd gathered at the door, & I had to wait outside for 20 minutes. During this time, I had no idea if I needed to queue despite having a reservation. The lack of clear organization & communication made the experience frustrating. This issue definitely needs to be addressed to improve the overall experience for diners.

3.5 stars Meat was bland, thin pieces per portion. Lettuce is not free. We accidentally took all the food on the robot because the waiters did not explain to us beforehand. The ambiance was great, the place was nicely decorated & lunchtime was not crowded.

Je suis allée 2 fois à ce BBQ Coréen & ce qui m'a plus le plus était le service. Tout le staff est accueillant & la nourriture arrive rapidement, dans un robot serveur. J'aime aussi l'ambiance avec les lumières tamisées & les décorations de Noël. Par contre, il y a un manque de variété de nourriture selon moi & les plats ne sont pas les meilleurs. Il y a en plus des frais extras pour la crème glacée & toute boisson.
Fantastic AYCE BBQ & sushi! Everything was delicious. Favourite BBQ item was spicy sausage. Made a reservation. It was very easy to do online. We arrived with a few extra in our party & they were able to accommodate us. We were grateful. We got a QR code to scan to order. It's a live updating group order for the table, so just be aware for your party as you add & submit orders. If you order multiples of the same item, it's likely to be combined & arrive on a larger plate. Also, it's a busy place! Make sure to stay on top of what you ordered, especially if it's not part of the AYCE menu with an extra charge. There were a few crossed wires with ordering but my party was fine to eat anything that came (e.g. broccoli tempura vs norrmall broccoli). Smaller orders are likely to be delivered by one of their cute kitty robots! The staff are super helpful & responsive if you need to follow up on anything. The grills were flat tops & there is parchment paper to cook on. Makes for easy cleaning when you want to refresh your cooking surface. Overall the staff were so great & friendly! We were ordering soju & bottles of beer. Someone who was reviewing our orders came over to let us know he could see what we were trying to do & recommended a combination on promotion. How kind!! Also we did a group photo & they let us have the robot cat server join our party. It was awesome! We all had so much fun. & for anyone new to KBBQ reading this, a reminder that you will smell like it after the overhead suction fans can only do so much but definitely better than places that don't have them.
We went on a Monday evening closer to the kitchen closing time. The service was fine. The food was good & it was cool to have the robot serve us. Since we did not have that much time to finish everything, they were super understanding on not to charge us for everything we could not finish. Huge shout to the manager working that day thank you. The orange juice was good too but overall they have nice drink options as well.
J'ai toujours eu une expérience agréable au Kalbi j'adore l'ambiance les serveurs sont super agréable & donne une expérience incroyable (merci encore au serveur qui a accepter de jouer du twice pour mon anniversaire) la nourriture est toujours aussi bonne les sushis aussi c'est vraiment incroyable une belle expérience à vivre avec les robot chat Steven & belle🤍✨
