December 6, 2025. A GENUINE All-You-Can-Eat place for a fixed price. A restaurant where you go & go again & again! They do not have hidden restrictions. The food is EXCELLENT! Excellent service, charming ambiance & environment (a stylish mansion built with large real grey stones). The place offers a wide variety of food with delicious & excellent options for everyone including vegetarians : tofu, pork, beef, chicken, shrimps, squid, vegetables, Korean salads, noodles, Korean sushis …. Each dining table is equipped with its BBQ. No smoke in the place (smoke is evacuated through a chimney placed above each BBQ). You order using a QR code . You do not need to wave at the waitress or at the waiter or wait until one is available: : you press a silent button on the table & someone comes right away. Something we appreciate in a restaurant: the toilets are clean. IN THIS GENUINE AYCE RESTAURANT, YOU EAT AT YOUR OWN PACE. YOU TAKE THE TIME TO ENJOY YOUR DINNER & CHAT WITH YOUR FRIENDS. IN THIS GENUINE AYCE RESTAURANT WE DID NOT OBSERVE WHAT SEEMS TO BE A TREND IN SOME OTHER ALLEGED AYCE PLACES & also NON-AYCE restaurants where you are told that you have two hours maximum to eat, then you MUST leave although you pay with good money- But anyhow, after these two hours, you may have the feeling of no longer being welcome whatever reason is provided. We do not appreciate to be treated this way & we avoid such places.
Great spot for Korean BBQ! The food was delicious & fresh. What really stood out was the staff they were incredibly kind, attentive, & made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!
What is up fellow reviewing community, Thaddeus here. Today we stopped at Mon Ami Korean BBQ & it was lowkey/highkey/midkey fire. The food is nice if you're not cooking with a bunch of apes & customer service is top notch. Certified Thaddeus approved.

the meats were really good, except for some of them. They didn't really have much flavour, like the fried chicken, the garlic & soy chicken. I also wish they had more options for veggies & sides like the korean side dishes. it was good overall but still would've liked more options.
I used to go to KBBQ all the time when they we're in this location, & I was hoping the new name would have the same great food. Unfortunately the experience was lacking in that the food was not what we were hoping for. Nothing was very spicy, even when it was marked as spicy, & dishes like the chicken were cubed rather than sliced making them more complicated to cook. Not as many accompaniments available. The portion sizes are confusing. We ordered zucchini & got 2 slices. (we we're supposed to order several portions)
Staff was really nice, & service was quick. Just wish the food was more authentically Korean.

Visited on a weekend evening hoping for a great Korean AYCE experience, but left disappointed.
Pros:
- Plenty of parking
- Staff were very polite & tried their best despite being clearly understaffed.
- The grilled meats were tasty & well-seasoned.
Cons:
- Service was extremely slow due to lack of staff. Everyone was kind, but they were clearly overwhelmed. The wait times were frustrating & staff kept forgetting things that we asked for (some food items that we ordered also never made it to our table)
- Most food items other than the meat were precooked & arrived cold & soggy making them feel more like leftovers than fresh from a restaurant.
- Several weekend-exclusive items were already out of stock when we arrived early in the evening (6pm).
- Menu was only available in English, & staff didn't speak French. This wasn't an issue for most of us, but my in-laws aren't bilingual & it affected their experience.
- No air conditioning, & the space was extremely hot - especially with the grills running. It made the whole experience uncomfortable & hard to enjoy.
Overall, the staff were lovely & the meat was good, but the slow service, limited food availability, & sweltering heat made it hard to justify the premium price. Needs improvement before we'd consider returning.
