Overall, Mon Ami Korean BBQ is praised for tasty Korean dishes, generous portions, and a wide range of options from all you can eat to a la carte with fresh ingredients and flavorful meats. The service is described as friendly and attentive and the vibe as welcoming and family friendly. Guests often name beef bulgogi and short ribs as standout items and highlight the fried chicken, tofu pockets, and desserts like patbingsu, with many noting quick service and helpful staff. Some visits are hindered by slower pacing or understaffing, occasionally long waits, and a hot or noisy dining room. The self grill concept is a common talking point with mixed feelings, adding novelty for some and friction for others. The majority would return and recommend Mon Ami Korean BBQ to friends, though a few experiences call for better consistency and more non pork options.
The place is quite cramped, & the food is average. What's truly disappointing, however, is the lack of customer service. The Asian guy waiter was sarcastic, repeatedly saying he wanted to make sure the kitchen staff wouldn't be inconvenienced by multiple orders. 😅 Never mind that customers come in & pay, apparently, the kitchen staff couldn't handle a few additional orders. Being short-staffed isn't an excuse to make customers, who are just trying to enjoy a Mother's Day celebration, feel like a burden.

Une déception total! Ambiance TRÈS bruyante! Le serveur courrais constamment entre les tables & la cuisines, on doit sonner pour avoir de l'aide personne ne venais, on nous garochais nos plat, les photo du menu n'étais pas du tout ressemblantes a ce qu'on recevait. On commande sur le telephone donc on passe notre temps a regarder le menu. Nous avons pris le souper à volonté, mais le délais pour la table est de 2heures…résultat on a pas mangé a notre faim & ca nous a couté $300 avec le tip. Je ne recommanderai jamais à personne.
