Mon Ami Korean BBQ is frequently praised for tasty food, a wide variety and good value, with options to cook at the table or have dishes prepared, and many diners highlight crispy fried chicken, well seasoned beef and bibimbap as standout items, along with popular kimchi fried rice and versatile all you can eat choices. The atmosphere is described as cozy and unique, making it a good spot for groups or casual outings. However, service quality varies with staffing levels, leading to longer waits, slow reorders, and occasional miscommunications or missing items during busy periods. Some guests report moments of rude service or late arrivals, while others applaud attentive servers and thoughtful follow ups from management after problems. Overall the food and concept attract repeat visits, but consistency in service and logistics could improve the experience during peak times.
La formule & très intéressante, dommage que la moitié de notre commande n'est jamais arrivé. Je ne pense pas que nous étions un qua isolé car nous avons entendu que la table derrière nous avez eu le même problème. Avoir une formule illimité aurais étais la seul raison pour la quelle je serais revenu, on ce s'en limité & de plus l'ambiance donne l'impression de devoir quitté au plus vite un samedi a 21h30. Dommage la formule & vendeuse mais le service donné ne suis pas même si la viande que l'on a eu étais délicieuse.

It's a small but cozy place. The food is good, although you need to be quite patient while it cooks. The service is good, but there was only one person to serve us, so we had to wait to order what we needed. Overall, very good.
We had a great time when we came for lunch at mon ami bbq! The food was excellent, we were surprised by the quick & quality service of our server Ryan & the friendliness. He answered all of our questions & was very accommodating. We would especially recommend the melona cocktails which were delicious & the kimchi fried rice!
Actual food was good (did the À la carte). Unfortunately they are not very good at making sure food aligns with dietary restrictions, since I let him know I was looking for a vegetarian dish that was easy to modify for vegan, & it still came with an entire egg inside. Also, they do serve a gummy with one of the drinks, which I could not confirm whether it had gelatin or not (so potentially not vegetarian/halal for those who follow). They don't mention it so I don't think they really thought about that, but that's not very unusual of restaurants, & the egg was the bigger issue.
Service was good initially, but after around 8PM (20h00) it got super busy. The one waiter had to deal with lots of full tables across the whole restaurant. We would've stuck around for dessert otherwise, but service was too slow (another table left as well before they bothered trying to order).
It's unfortunate because they have good food & enough business to run a great restaurant. The only issue was that they were severely short staffed for waiters. I don't really understand why either, since they had plenty of business if they were able to serve them. Maybe they're better staffed for breakfast/lunch.
