Kalbi BBQ Montreal - Menu, Reviews & More January 2026
KoreanBBQSushiAsianAll You Can Eat MenuBuffet
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.

We went on a Saturday night. It was $44 per adult & $29 per kid.
Unfortunately, many items were unavailable or required an extra charge, especially in the dessert section. That said, the food overall was unimpressive for the price.
The experience is quite basic, good for those who are new to Korean BBQ & don't know too well. For a similar price, places like Gyubee are way better in terms of quality & variety.
Reservation is required if you don't have to wait over an hour. They 15% for groups of 5 people & more.

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!

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.

During lunch hours on a weekday, it was 31.99$.

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.

I would NEVER step into this place a second time.

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.

While the food was alright, the service & billing practices make this price point unjustifiable (55$ with taxes & tipping).
I came with a group of friends to enjoy our night. Although our group size decreased last minute from 13 to 9, the restaurant was not prepared to host the original number regardless. The grill at our designated table was broken. Had our full party arrived together on time or not, we would have been unable to sit together as planned. The broken equipment was a failure on the restaurant's part, independent of our group's attendance.
I understand the restaurant was peak-busy, but the service speed did not reflect the price point. It took over 15 minutes (signaling staff + wait time) simply to get water refilled. They food waste policy that charges 1$ per leftover. We understand the need to charge for leftovers, but the staff delivered these warnings in a certain tone which made me personally feel uncomfortable. I don't know what my friends thought, but that was how I felt.
?The meat quality relies heavily on sauces rather than the cut itself. Be aware that unlike competitors (e.g., Haidilao), desserts like ice cream are not included & cost $3 extra which is surprising to me for the price of the whole All-you-can-eat.
There are two major concerns here regarding transparency of the billing:
?A mandatory 15% service charge was applied. However, this was calculated on the post-tax total, not the pre-tax subtotal. Standard consumer norms (& Bill 72 guidelines regarding transparency) generally dictate tipping on the pre-tax amount. Calculating it after tax artificially inflates the cost. It doesn't go against the law, but I feel scammed.
?When I paid in cash, I was refused a copy of the itemized receipt showing the tip breakdown. My friends who paid by card received one. Paying in cash does not exempt a business from providing a proper receipt for record-keeping.
I just hope that the restaurant revise the service & a little bit on the food. If these get improved, I would be happy to return.

Food is very poor first the beef has a taste of mussels which is weird, then it would taste like lamb when we never ordered lamb, also the takoyaki is under cook very disappointing, then the creme Brulee is not even a creme Brulee. Yeah not worth the price. Anyone who put 5 star in this never had a really good bbq.

Went to Montreal for Thanksgiving this year. My wife is South Korean so we were looking forward to this. Not traditional BBQ. Food was ok, need to advertise as a fusion & not authentic to let people know.

Please be mindful when you pay as they have not integrated the new tip policy, & they charge not on the amount pre tax but after tax. They also don't put it on the bill, which I found very sneaky of them, so you don't realize it.

Ça faisait longtemps que nous voulions essayer ce resto & nous n'avons pas été déçues.
La nourriture à volonté était excellente & en valait totalement le prix pour ce dîner entre deux amies. Le service, soit par le robot ou encore les deux serveurs sur place, était exemplaire.
Seul bémol: l'endroit très peu bondé un jour de semaine de mauvais temps, a fait en sorte qu'il faisait très frais dans le resto. Nous nous sommes réchauffées avec la plaque chauffante😅.

C'est un restaurant à volonté. Il y a beaucoup de choix avec une qualité correct & le service est rapide & courtois par contre c'est très bruyant & on se sent assez pressée pour manger. La fin de semaine ils prennent pas de réservation entre 18h & 20h. Préparez vous à attendre longtemps. Si vous réservez pour 20h. On nous a annoncé après que la cuisine fermait à 21h30 puis 22h finalement...faites attention. Mais dans l'ensemble on a passé un bon moment

Super expérience avec un groupe assez nombreux d'amis (7 personnes). Le prix est certes élevé (54 CAD après taxes le soir pour un menu à volonté en semaine) mais la qualité est bien présente, que ce soit au niveau des produits déjà préparés en cuisine (nous recommandons fortement les sushis'Quebec') & de la viande à faire cuire par nous-mêmes. Gustitativement parlant bien meilleur que les autres buffets asiatiques à volonté'classiques'.
