Mon Ami Korean BBQ delivers flavorful dishes, generous portions and good value with an inviting cozy atmosphere and a mix of all you can eat and à la carte options. The service is generally friendly and helpful, with clear grill guidance, but crowds and staff shortages can slow things down and occasional missteps such as slower pacing or access to the BBQ can occur. Several reviews highlight standout fried chicken, bibimbap and beef dishes, and note that the ambiance and price make it easy to return, though a few experiences mention slow service, dietary mixups like a vegetarian dish with egg, and inconsistent execution. Overall the restaurant comes across as a solid crowd pleaser with room for improvement in service efficiency and dietary clarity.
Nous avons très bien mangé avec la formule à volonté du midi
Servis par Rayan, tout était excellent je recommande.
Les derniers avis sont très injustifiés je pense.
We made a reservation in advance for 12:00 PM on a Sunday for a party of 25 people-effectively taking up about a third of the entire restaurant. Given that it was a holiday long weekend, you would expect management to schedule adequate staff. Instead, the restaurant was being run by exactly one waitress & what appeared to be only one cook in the kitchen.
To make matters worse, two other parties of six arrived at the exact same time as us. Because they were so drastically understaffed, the food quality took a massive hit. The steamed white rice was undercooked, the miso soup arrived at the table cold, & the beef was barely marinated. Most shockingly for a Korean restaurant, we were told they were completely out of ssamjang sauce.
Because service was moving so slowly, my group couldn't even take full advantage of the All-You-Can-Eat aspect. It took ages just to get food to the table or to get our grills changed, which completely ruined the flow of the meal. While we were waiting, we also witnessed multiple smaller parties get turned away at the door-some of whom actually had reservations.
I want to be very clear: this is absolutely no fault of our waitress. She did her absolute best under impossible circumstances. This falls entirely on poor management & terrible planning. They knew exactly how many people were coming & completely failed to prepare. Because of this experience, it is very hard to recommend this restaurant.
Only giving 2 stars because I liked the fries. Had this delivered & the chicken was NOT GOOD AT ALL. Now ive had mon ami at a south shore location & loved it. So I ordered the 1/2 chicken fried, craving chicken. It tasted like day old cooked chicken that they then breaded & fried. No flavor at all just a bit spicy. Not even salt was tasted. So disappointed honestly I actually threw 3 pieces of 5 away.
Amazing service, & really chill place to go with friends. The atmosphere is welcoming & comfortable that you can stay there for hours & won't be overstimulated. Really nice place, & great food!
Some of the best korean BBQ I've had in the city. The food was very well marinate & extremely flavorful. The sides were plentiful & also delicious. I highly recommend the lunch spécial, you really get a bang for your buck, & you'll leave satisfied. The service was great too, our server was very attentive & kind.
The food was super good! The ambiance was really nice with great music. The service was awesome & very kindly explained us how to use the grill. Totally worth a try!

We visited here often for korean barbeque & the food is really nice, but the asian woman who serves us were rude & gave us an attitude. She was banging the plate on our table for unknown reason. But most workers there are really nice, except her.
My cousin & I visited from Ontario & I have to say, the food was great! Our server, Miranda was such a darling & delivered incredible service! In addition, the restaurant was clean & cozy. I highly recommend!

I ordered using doordash! It was awful the chicken was hard, bland & extremely dry. I am 100% sure it wasn't fresh, like it was cook hours & hours ago! I will never order again from Mon ami Cote des niege!
On a commandé un total de trois plats à deux. Nous n'avons pas eu accès au BBQ car on nous disait que les six tables libres & adaptées au BBQ étaient réservées... Les portions étaient tellement généreuses que l'on a rapporté au moins la moitié du repas à la maison. Tout était excellent avec cuisson à point. Le seul problème avec ce restaurant, c'est qu'il n'y a pas assez de serveurs, si bien que le service est très long. On a dû se lever pour aller chercher de l'eau nous-même. On a aussi dû courir après le serveur pour commander, puis à la fin, payer l'addition. Aussi, le chariot de nettoyage sur lequel on vide les restants de table au milieu des convives, ça n'a rien d'attirant. En partant, personne n'a souri ou nous a souhaité une bonne soirée, ou même remercié d'être venus. On y retournera pour l'excellente nourriture SEULEMENT! :)
Nous avions rendez-vous à 18:00, mais malheureusement on ne pouvait pas être là à l'heure exact. Nous avons appelé pour avertir notre retard mais absolument personne ne répondait. Quand on est arrivé on nous a fait savoir que notre place a été prise. C'est inacceptable.
Literally 15/15 stars. You have the option to cook yourself or have it prepared for you. Perfect buffet for friends family & dates! Fantastic substitution for Sota Bbq
