I had a great service & experience with Minji. Her bubbly & warm personality makes her easy to talk to, she is never present without a smile on her face & is prepared to answer any questions that you may have. She is very knowledgeable about the offerings at Pony & was able to make personalized recommendations based on our groups unique taste. Thank you Minji for a warm welcome to Pony for 2026!!

Impeccable service, I will be leaving 2 reviews, the first for the serveuse names Marie-Anne. From the second we entered, Marie Anne made my friends & I feel attented to & cared for. She was quick in her feet, answered all our questions, & provided customer service very rare to view in the Montreal restaurant scene. I can tell she takes pride in the work that she does & I will tell all my friends to come to Pony of this is the experience we can expect for future dining. Thank you so much.

Nice Korean BBQ place with a really cool atmosphere. When you walk in, it actually feels like being in Korea: they have screens that look like the subway or Incheon Airport, which is a fun detail. The restaurant is big & spacious, which is great whether you come alone, with two people, or with a group. We were five & it was very comfortable.
The menu has a lot of choice. We took a combo for five people & there was more than enough food. You get a lot of meat plus three side dishes. We chose the corn (really good) & the budae-jjigae (army stew).
About the budae-jjigae: it was okay, but if you've had it in Korea, you'll probably be disappointed. The ramen noodles felt a bit low quality & there was no cheese, so it didn't really taste like the real thing.
The meat itself was very good, & grilling it was fun. The side dishes are refillable, which is a big plus, especially the glass noodles & cucumber. The kimchi was a bit tasteless for me (not very spicy or fermented), better when grilled than eaten as is.

Service was a bit mixed. When the grill got dirty, no one changed it unless we asked. Also later, when it got busier, it felt like only one of the two servers was really working, so things were slower.
One downside is the ventilation because there are extractors over the tables, but they were surprisingly off. Better to put your jacket away.

Overall, good food, nice vibe, generous portions. With better service & ventilation, it would be even better.

This place is okay. The portions are a bit on the small side, but not downright a rip-off. The meat is served as-is, not transformed in any way, & unseasoned. For the same money, I'd go either to Gyu-Kaku or Gyubee for higher quality meat.

I don't recommend it, but I wouldn't complain when my co-workers go I suppose.

J'ai même eu un hotteok avec de la crème glacée gratuitement ❤?. Tout le monde était très gentil & le restaurant était beau & propre. Merci beaucoup 😁

L'ambiance était très bonne & le service était bon mais nous avons été déçu de la qualité de la viande, dommage pour un BBQ coréen par contre les Tteokbokki étaient délicieux!

Le service de Memjy était parfait, comme un soleil de solstice sur la plage Jonquière. Aaron pourrait s'en inspirer, sympathique, mais je n'ai pas eu le frisson.

Blague à part, superbe soirée : Bon shot !

The food here is good! We had the mixed pork plate with kimchi stew & the corn cheese. The portions were huge. It was a lot for two people & we actually had to take a break to finish it.

?The decor is nice, though it gets really loud with the music & packed tables (you can still hold a conversation, but it's a bit of a struggle). The only real downside is the ventilation. The exhaust hoods seem positioned too high to be effective. Every time the door opened, the draft blew our BBQ smoke right into the faces of the people at the next table.

Nous avions réservé pour 6 personnes, la viande était vraiment bonne. Pour un plateau à partager à 5-6 personnes c'était parfait ! Il y avait des accompagnements comme des nouilles de patates douces, des concombres, des radis à volonté, dommage que le riz n'était pas inclus pour 180$. On avait commandé un pichet de sangria ( y avait il de l'alcool ?) malheureusement nous avions eu la table face à porte qui n'était pas du tout agréable (petite suggestion pour les prochains visiteurs d'installer un rideau pour faire office d'un peu plus de « chaleur ».

Very good Korean food, tasty meats that are not necessarily the highest quality but are still very good & competitively priced

Recommend the rice wine, & the option for no flavou

The price used to be worth it but every time I come back the banchan get downgraded with cheaper ingredients. There used to be mac salad/interesting tofu dishes & now it's just a combo of vinegar+veggies or bland japchae
