Mon Ami Korean BBQ earns consistent praise for flavorful, well-seasoned dishes and generous portions that arrive hot and fresh, with authentic kimchi and tender bulgogi as standouts. The all you can eat option is a common draw for variety, though some reviewers feel the value varies and a few wish for more balanced sides or fewer upcharges on certain items. The atmosphere is described as cozy and casual, suitable for small groups or celebrations, with a friendly vibe. Service is often noted as attentive and efficient, yet it can slow down during peak hours and on busy nights when staffing is tight. Some experiences highlight smooth kitchen execution and helpful staff, while others mention longer waits and uneven pacing. Overall, Mon Ami Korean BBQ is viewed as a solid option for those craving strong flavors, good meat quality, and a convivial setting, with many guests planning to return.
Came in on at Tuesday night with friends, food was good. The server was super friendly. Fried chicken was immaculate. Finger licking good almost. The meat quality was to die for. Would definitely come again. 10/10
DO NOT order fried chicken from this place. My first time was not great, so I gave them a second chance. My disappointment arrived as soon as i opened the box. The chicken were old, hard & almost-rotten looking. Can't believe they would sell these even. I'm always all in for small businesses, but I will definitely avoid ones that scam their customers. Unbelievable.

Good service, both waitresses (one of them was named Dominique) were super nice & helpful. Food was okay, not super authentic for example the tteokbokki was super soupy. Some meat was not seasoned (shrimp, pork belly) which was a little disappointing. It would have been nice to have some salt & sesame oil on the side for that like they do in most Korean bbq places. Other meat like bulgogi, spicy chicken (not authentic but good), the fried chicken were pretty good!
Also the right side of the restaurant seating does not have ventilation (fume hoods) which made it really hard to breathe at times. & now our clothes will smell like bbq for the rest of the day. This should be fixed.
Overall not the best but the service was really good which makes up for it a bit. I am also a bit biased having grown up with many great Korean restaurants in Toronto so this restaurant may be good for an introductory experience to k-bbq.
End of 2024 I went for my bday personally there was more options last year. The sushi we ordered 3 times never came-A lot of our order didn't come Or they were placed all together so we didn't know what was what. They ran out of French fries at 6:30pm My son has a seafood allergy that I was clear about when I called 3 times & when I reserved & on the order. they still put the seafood pancakes in his tray of food. We ordered fried chicken 3 times =9 pieces only got 3. Unfortunately all my son wanted was those two things 39$ he didn't really eat dinner. Service was messed up now you have 2h to eat but there's only 2 waitresses. At 140$ before tip for 3 people it wasn't really worth my night. Also we made reservations I was beyond mad when I found out our table was next to the door. We ate 2023 We had a great dinner, clean location great waitresses, good food options. I would recommend if you're going with more than four people to make reservations. A great family, dinner spot or get together dinner spot.

The dining experience was highly satisfactory, with the culinary offerings being particularly delectable. The fried chicken dish was especially noteworthy for its exceptional taste & preparation.
Overall it was great!! The marination of the beef is on point, we didn't get bored of the beef because of that. The fried chicken is great & all the little side they don't disappoint at all. The Soju was good but for the price we expected a way better quality. The Lychee was better than the pineapple but they tasted so chemical. The service was fast, Even though its a bbq it was really hot as if the ventilation is not strong enough.
Came for all you can eat. Not Authentic tasting, & missing a lot of basics (ventilation). Not enough staff for the number of tables. Value for price is not good. The drinks & fried chicken are good though.
Choice was all you can eat. Service was quick & accurate. The server was courteous & efficient. The meats were well seasoned, fragrant & delicious. Lovely crispy fries, tasty fried chicken & ramen. Atmosphere was so good we stayed till closing. I see another visit in the near future

Came in for 2 AYCE & shared a Melona soju, grand total came to $125 ($16 for drink) Quite overpriced for the quality of the food. Out of 10; bibimbap was a 4, kimchi was obviously store bought, meats were a 7. The galbi (short ribs) & fried chicken were the best part; 8.5 The annoying part was having to pay $5 penalty for having leftovers, mainly the horrible bibimbap, it was so dry & so big, same size as if you had gotten it a la carte. We ordered two expecting the small bowl size like at gyubee & got charged when we couldn't finish it. Service was average, light years behind the staff at gyubee. Atmosphere was pretty good, a solid 7. They had a cool soju wall & funny posters near the washrooms (albeit a bit small). In conclusion it's a OK spot but for only $4 more at gyubee ($40 vs $44) weekend dinner, we will still choose gyubee every time hands down! Also they charge you $3 extra for a Melona... but they do provide a pretty good shaved ice dessert though!
The food was so much superior than what we are used to (talking about kbbq places). The staff was so nice, The service was fast & their fried chicken delicious!
