Mon Ami Korean BBQ is praised for delicious food, a friendly vibe, and a broad all you can eat menu. Meat is described as fresh and well marinated, with Bulgogi noted as especially tasty. The atmosphere is cozy and suitable for casual dinners or special occasions. Service is often fast and attentive, but several reviews mention slower or overwhelmed staff during busy times and occasional items being out of stock. All you can eat portions are sometimes criticized as small for vegetables, while meat portions are more generous and the variety of meats and sides generally impresses. Many diners say it is among the best Mon Ami locations in Montreal, with friendly staff and lively vibes. Occasional inconsistencies appear, such as food quality fluctuations or a burned fried chicken in takeout order, underscoring the need for steady service during peak hours. Overall, the consensus highlights tasty food, good value for money, and a welcoming environment, making Mon Ami Korean BBQ a frequent recommendation.
we just spent 40$ per person as a group of 3. we were initially excited to eat korean bbq & try this place out but we had a horrible experience. first of all, the food was brought to us in increments of 20-30 mins : all the raw food first, & then maybe every now & then we received something else (2 cold dumplings 40 mins into service) & there were less than 15 people in the restaurant including us. they also forgot items we ordered, & our order really wasn't long. we could have asked for an update of when we would get it, but it had been an hour since we ordered & having tasted the food, we didn't care to do so. the food was at best a 5/10 for the raw stuff we cooked ourselves (u should pass on the chicken). the edamame had 0 salt, we got like 8 fries, they're extremely stingy with sauces, & the toilets were like an abandoned crime scene from what my brother said, without exaggeration. i never leave reviews, even when i have a sub-par experience, & i hate to say something negative about anything but the experience really was that rough. the people working there seem genuinely really nice & kind, & i don't think this is specific to this restaurant, just the chain itself is not worth experiencing. i am so upset that i went into this with an empty stomach & soooooo hungry only to eat bad food & spend ~150 on something i really didnt enjoy. im so sad rn & we're literally going to another restaurant immediately after finishing here
The food was very good, & the ambiance is nice. Great for family dinner or a date. One thing to be aware of is that the all you can eat BBQ portions are laughably small. One order of mushrooms brings you literally 1/3 mushroom 🤣 whyyyy? So you have to order 8 portions of any vegetable to get a reasonable amount. The meat portions were more reasonable & 1-2 portions at a time is good enough. They also take quite a long time to serve you, so make sure you order enough!
Compared to other Korean BBQ restaurants, the staffs are willing to serve. I will definitely recommend this place. Also a great place to bond with friends.

The bbq meats were nice & delicious, & the staff were friendly! The service was a bit slow but they were all helpful & nice. The side dish such as fried chicken was a bit hard to chew & cold. I ordered cold noodle from the menu which I assumed cold noodle soup from the picture, but they gave japchae (stir glass noodle) instead. I was a bit confused by it but I ate it anyway.
This is my favourite bbq so far in Montreal . So much flavour . The new owners are excellent. The food is worth of waiting ! I highly recommend this restaurant!
First time trying this bbq & it was a great experience! The food was really good & you are able to have the full Korean bbq experience where you cook your own meat. Will definitely come back :)

Phenomenal Korean BBQ Experience! I can't say enough good things about this place! We had warm, welcoming service & a welcoming atmosphere as soon as we walked in. The highlight, of course, was the food. The quality of the meats was top-notch-each cut was tender, flavorful, & perfectly marbled. We tried various options, from brisket to pork belly, & every bite was a delight. The grill at the table added a fun & interactive experience, & the staff was attentive, ensuring our grill was at the perfect temperature throughout. The side dishes were plentiful & delicious, offering a great variety of fresh & pickled vegetables, savory pancakes, & kimchi that paired wonderfully with the BBQ. The dipping sauces were also bursting with flavor, enhancing the overall experience. In addition, their drink menu was impressive, with authentic Korean soju & a range of refreshing cocktails. We finished our meal with a mouth-watering dessert, which was the perfect end to an already perfect meal. Whether you're a Korean BBQ connoisseur or trying it for the first time, this place is a MUST. Can't wait to return & bring more friends! Highly recommended!
Nous avons commandé quelques plats à la carte. Le poulet frit avec saveur vaut le détour. Le bibimbap avec pierre chaude est correcte, sans plus. Le Tteokbokki est servi dans de la soupe. Ce n'était pas indiqué que ce sera servi de cette façon dans le menu. Pas notre plat favori. Le ragoût au porc & au kimchi & le ragoût au tofu doux viennent avec du riz. À part d'être épicé, les ragoûts manquent de goût & il y a seulement quelques morceaux minces de porc & de kimchi. Nous avons attendu environ 40 min à table un vendredi soir. Il semble n'y avoir que 3 personnes qui travaillent: un serveur, un caissier pour diriger à la table & un cuisinier. Le BBQ coréen dégage beaucoup de fumée & il n'y a pas de ventilation.
