Pony BBQ Coréen comes across as a lively, visually striking Korean BBQ spot with a generous, shareable format and lots of side dishes that are restocked throughout the meal. The meat variety and quality are frequently praised, and reviews highlight attentive, fast service and a warm, energetic atmosphere that makes it great for groups and celebrations. The decor and vibe evoke Korea, with fun details that add to the experience. While portions are often ample and prices reasonable for the amount of food, some guests find the place loud, the smoke from grilling intense, and ventilation inconsistent on busy nights. A few dishes earn mixed notes on flavor or authenticity, but the overall sentiment is very positive and many guests say they will return. In short, Pony BBQ Coréen is regarded as a top Korean BBQ option in town for tasty meat, generous sides, and a welcoming, convivial environment, especially for group outings.
Def a good spot for Korean bbq. The staff was very friendly & attentive. I was a little disappointed at the Diet Coke I ordered. It was in a cocktail class with plenary of ice, therefore; I only got 5-6 sips. Usually, I get a pint or the equivalent to a can when I order a soda, anywhere. Also, the floors are very slippery which means they are very dirty. That was really icky to know all that grease just sits in the floor & you have to ice skate to your table. The side dish & beef were delicious. I hope they clean their floors & be a little more generous with their soda for my next visit.

Excellent BBQ coreen Décor vraiment cool La nourriture était super bonne Les banchans sont variés & à volonté Seul hic La ventilation La boucane est vraiment épouvantable. Mais ça vaut le déplacement
This place was so great!! It was my first time at Korean bbq & not only was it delicious & the atmosphere is so nice, the place is so cute it looks like a little alleyway with cute storefront signs!! Also JP was our waiter & the service was amazing!
We celebrated a birthday at Pony BBQ Coréen, a restaurant I had been eager to visit for quite some time. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the unique decor, which added a charming vibe to our dining experience. The menu was extensive & priced similarly to other BBQ places in the area. Arriving shortly after opening, we enjoyed the benefit of having the place mostly to ourselves. The service was fantastic-attentive & friendly-though I can't speak to the experience during busier times. As expected with BBQ restaurants, be prepared to leave smelling like BBQ smoke, which is something we were well aware of beforehand. One minor issue was that several of the meat cuts were still slightly frozen, possibly due to our early arrival. Overall, we had a great experience at Pony BBQ Coréen & look forward to visiting again to try more dishes from their menu!
Nous étions un petit groupe pour souper au Pony bbq, la qualité de la nourriture est incroyable & le service par Caissy & Gabrielle était hors pair. Nous allons assurément y retourner !
An absolute banger. Being a fan of korean BBQ, it's really a perfectly managed restaurant : EXTREMELY generous for the price, the service was top notch & perfectly coordinated. The music fit the place like a glove & was not too loud! So do yourself a service, & go. No reasons NOT to go! Gongratz to this gem!

Pour notre première visite, superbe décor, super ambiance. Nous avons beaucoup aimé Pony Bbq . Le Combo boeuf était excellent, en accompagnement le maïs grillé & gratiné , savoureux & comme sucré en même temps. J'aurais aimé juste un peu plus de riz. La portion de riz pour 2 était plutôt petite. Le tout en savourant une bonne bière. La bière maison, la Pony est quand même douce & agréable.
We loved this place. We were visiting Montreal & this place showed up on quite a few best-of lists. We didn't have a reservation & it was a Sat nite, & they found us a table & just asked us to please limit our dinner to 2. It was just the 2 of us, so no problem. JP was our waiter & he was great. So helpful with drink & food recommendations. We are veteran Korean BBQ eaters & the meats were excellent. Tons of unlimited banchan as well. Got a side of perfectly crispy garlic chicken wings as well. Lots of fun alcohol & non alcoholic drinks as well as a large selection of BBQ meats & veggies & tons of other Korean dishes like jaepche, Bibimbap & kimchee stew. Don't miss this place!
Best Korean BBQ in mtl. The side dishes are perfectly marinated, & the food just delicious with big portions. Felt at home here, the staff were so friendly it made me feel like I got to know them. Overall, great service, amazing food, amazing people- truly a night made memorable thanks to this place.
We had a lovely authentic korean experience. J-P was a great host & guide around the menu, meat quality was top notch & I could'nt stop re-ordering the side plates. Any fan of korean food or good bbq meats should definitely try it out!

You there! Yes, you... what are you waiting for? Reserve a table & jump in with both feet. Order a bottle of Soju & take shots as the succulent cuts of meat cook & the very friendly owner & serving staff bring you all the accompaniments you could want. Mix-&-match your fixings to try new flavor combinations & have a good time. That's exactly what you're looking for... the feeling of a backyard bbq with a friendly vibe & good time, surrounded by great decore & freshly cooked meat slathered in delicious trimmings. & take friends or family... this isn't something to be missed without sharing plates & having fun.
We had a very nice dinner here & enjoyed all the dishes. The kitchen dishes are excellent; we had soondubu which is very flavorful. & the jokbal is probably the best in Montreal, super tender. The rose tobokki is well balanced. We also had a few meat dishes to grill, which were also very good. Special shout out to JP who is our excellent server & make sure we lack nothing ( I mean nothing!!!) Thank you 😉 If you like K BBQ you won't regret giving this place a try!
Standard Korean BBQ fare. Staff are kind & charming. Atmosphere is a bit bar-like, but not too cramped. Not particularly memorable, & there are other places like this within a few blocks. But it satisfies. Not sure why it's called Pony, was hoping there'd be horse meat on the menu, but no, there wasn't. BTW, Quebec is one of the only places in North America where you can readily but horse meat at grocery stores. Apparently Quebec has many horse abattoirs.
Had a really amazing dinner here- our server was cordial, fast & attentive. The food was awesome. The Korean style Bbq was interactive & super fun. The decor made for a fun environment. I highly recommend.
Première expérience Korean BBQ. Nous avons tous adoré! Service & conseils parfaits. Nourriture succulente & ambiance agréable. Prix raisonnable malgré le contexte actuel ! Je le conseil à tous !
This was my first time at a Korean bbq & let me tell you it did not disappoint. The service was insanely fast & they checked on us always at the right time. The food felt fresh & good quality. We also tried their in-house lager & were pleasantly surprised. Overall a good experience, will definitely be back.
