Overall, Pony BBQ Coréen is described as a lively Korean BBQ spot with generous portions and a wide range of banchan, noodles, kimchi, salads, and other sides that pair with meat platters, along with a convenient QR menu that some diners appreciate. The beef and pork are praised for flavor, and the unlimited sides plus the fun, vibrant atmosphere and decor contribute to a memorable experience, especially for groups and celebrations. Service is often fast and friendly, though a few reviews note inconsistency when the restaurant gets busy and some guests experience slower refills. Ventilation is a frequent criticism, with noticeable smoke and lingering odors in the dining area. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment is positive, highlighting quality meats, good value, and a lively vibe that makes diners want to return.
The best & most authentic Korean BBQ spot in Montreal!
From the fresh & delicious food, refreshing cocktails to the beautiful interior decor of the restaurant, you will definitely feel you're transported to Seoul!
Ordered the following:
Mix Combo with additonal Chadolbaggi - meat was very fresh & high quality
Pajeon - perfectly cooked with a lot of ingredients.
Rose Tteokbokki - creamy & rich!
Haemul Sundubu Jjigae - sumptuous & flavorful seafood broth
Kimchi Fried Rice - Delicious mix of flavor & texture!
We also had the Busan Midori cocktail which was so refreshing! Perfect to cool down after each bite!
& we ended the meal with dessert - Hotteok Ice Cream. Perfect contrast of warm & chewy Korean pancake with Ice cream, cranberry sauce & mixed nuts!
My suggestion is order as much as you like on the menu - the servings are huge, which means you get to bring home extra delicious food for the next day!
Authentic Korean dishes with the best ambience - it feels like I'm dining in Seoul! Their meat selection for the bbq is not overwhelming & you will NOT smell when you leave the restaurant. The serving is portion is just right.
Must try - Seafood jjigae & Rosé Tteokbokki! They also serve great cocktails & mocktails.

Un des meilleurs BBQ coréens que j'ai mangés ! 🔥 Ça m'a vraiment rappelé Busan, autant pour les saveurs que pour l'ambiance. Mention spéciale pour la playlist qui est clairement un 10/10 🎶
Je recommande sans hésiter !
L'endroit pourrait être vraiment top mais les hottes aspirantes au-dessus des BBQ ne fonctionnent quasiment pas : une forte odeur de gras, beaucoup de fumée & surtout tout était recouvert de gras (aussi bien la table que nos vêtements). Le wagyu n'avait aucune saveur & celui-ci coûtait +50$. On s'attend donc à une meilleure qualité…
I met my daughter & her boyfriend at Pony BBQ for his birthday. Reservation was made for 8PM & got seated right away. The menu is online through a QR code, so great for people who are used to this. We ordered the large beef platter, it's recommended for 4 or 5 people. It comes with 3 sides & some unlimited appetizers (noodles, kim chi, salad, marinated onions...) There was way too much for 3 people. A 4th joined us & helped put a dent in the food, but there was still lots to take home. The food & the service were excellent. We will definately be returning.
Love this place. In my opinion, it is the best Korean BBQ in Montreal. Their banchans are great & you can ask for refills. Drinks are very good too. Highly recommend.

J ai fait découvrir le bbq Coréen à ma mère & ma soeur au Pony bbq. Je n y etais jamais aller avant. Tout était parfait!! Dès l'accueil nous avons été chaleureusement reçu par Eva, que nous avons recroiser tout au long de la soirée. Notre table etait prête au moment de notre réservation. Des petites famille, des grandes, en couple ou entre amis, il y a une super belle ambiance !
Mindy, notre serveuse nous a bien conseiller, on allait commander vraiment trop de chose ! Une chance qu on l a ecouter! Elle nous à tout expliquer. Juste assez présente tout au long du service. Nous avons manquer de rien & pu recommander à plusieurs reprise tous les petits accompagnements.
La viande est DELICIEUSE! & je rêve de la petite salade de carotte sur les dumping!
Bien que nous soyons plus que reput, on a pris la crêpe dessert! Wow wow.. simple & délicieuse cannelle sucre noix caneberge..
Je vous recommande sans hésitation le Pony bbq!
Similar concept to similar K-BBQ near by which I visited on my last trip. Like this one better, firendlier staffs, all on my group agreed on food being at least par if not better than the other place. Highly recommended for K-BBQ on downtown Montreal
La nourriture était excellente - tout était savoureux & bien préparé. Le concept du BBQ coréen est vraiment fun & rend le repas encore plus agréable.
La serveuse était super gentille & très attentionnée, elle s'assurait toujours que tout allait bien & ça rend l'expérience encore meilleure.
L'ambiance du restaurant était aussi vraiment agréable, parfaite pour passer un bon moment.
Bref, très belle découverte, je recommande sans hésiter si vous aimez la bonne nourriture & une belle ambiance !
I came here with company who wanted to try this restaurant & wasn't disappointed with the quality of service & food! The servers were kind, attentive & were quick to assist with cooking our ordered meats. They also refilled our side dishes quickly when we ran low on them. it's a great Korean BBQ place! I was able to recognize almost every K-Pop song they played in the restaurant as well, so that was fun 😆

Pony Korean BBQ is officially my new little obsession 🥹💕
I had the rose tteokbokki - creamy, slightly spicy, & sooo comforting 🤍 - & the cheese corn, which was perfectly melty & indulgent. Honestly, the perfect combo.
The cocktails were also delicious 🍸✨
Great atmosphere, amazing food, & such a cozy vibe. I'll definitely be coming back 🫶🔥
Wow ! Une des meilleures expériences BBQ coréen que j'ai eues. On se sent vraiment comme si on était en Corée grâce à l'ambiance. La nourriture est absolument délicieuse & le service est impeccable. Les serveuses sont incroyables, souriantes, rapides & pleines d'énergie. En plus, toute l'équipe est super accueillante, attentionnée & vraiment professionnelle. J'y retourne c'est sûr !
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.

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!
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.
Plentiful spread of BBQ meats & comes with tons of small side dishes as it should be in a Korean restaurant. The rest is up to you & your'skills' with the BBQ.
Perfect place for a special dinner! The atmosphere was cozy, the grill experience was fun, & the food was absolutely. Service was good. One of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've had!
