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.
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 🫶🔥
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.

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
We went with a group of 11 & the staffs were so nice & welcoming. We ordered the party combo which came with a good variety of meats & other side dishes. The atmosphere was also very reminsicent of the streets you can find in Korea which created a cool & unique ambiance. Highly recommend going with group of friends for some KBBQ & some soju. Also we would like to give a shout out to our waitress Van who was awesome throughout the whole night :).
Good meat for the price. The mocktails were really good & cheap compared to other places. The sides for the combos are really good. I will highly recommend the side dish that comes with egg & cheese
Sincèrement, c'était une belle expérience.
La nourriture était très bonne. J'ai vue des commentaires disant que les portions étaient petites, mais moi & mon copain on a trouvé que c'était parfait pour nous deux!
Il y a plusieurs types de combos pour le nombre de personnes que vous êtes. Le combos vient avec deux mets d'accompagnement en plus de la viande! Nous avons rajouté un met en plus avec & c'était parfait! Nous étions remplis.
Notre serveuse était vraiment gentille! Encore merci, Minji!
Nous retournerons pour sûr au restaurant encore!

Wow what a great evening, food quality & portions, restaurant vibe, & welcoming service. Took the special combo for 2 people at $45/person. If I ever go back to Montreal, I'd come to this restaurant again. Highly recommended.
We tried the combo for 4 for 180$. It came with 5 different type of meat. The side dishes are unlimited which us great. Overall the food is pretty good. The only issue is I feel like there's not enough ventilation, you feel suffocated while cooking your food. I wish the air system was better. So don't bring your favorite clothing. Ladies: don't go after a hair wash day 🤣🤣🤣 Overall, service was great.
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.
Nourriture assez bonne, combo pour deux à 40$ par personnes, mais beaucoup de choses, nous n'avons pas réussi à tout finir! Les viandes sont plutôt bonne. Les serveurs sont super gentil, mais pour notre expérience, nous avons dû leur répéter plusieurs fois certaines choses, car ils oubliaient souvent de nous apportez les choses, nous avons même eux le temps de finir notre repas sans recevoir certaines choses, sans être facturer, bien sûre! Pour l'ambiance, vraiment génial & décors magnifique!!
Expérience culinaire incroyable. Quelle chance d'avoir ce genre de resto au Québec! J'ai adoré le concept combo avec porc & boeuf + sides à volonté. Kimchi, soupe, omelette, salade de pâtes, radis marinés... Miam! Staff accueillant & adorable.! Un incontournable, à ne pas manquer!

Food was delicious! Even though we were 6 people, we had a combo for four & it was enough to have all of us full. They also have a great variety of refillable side dishes too!
Lovely korean BBQ with amazing decor & atmosphere. Not too loud during week. Unlimited & good side dishes. No individual fans or ventilation system your clothes will definitely smell a little smokeyy. Not All you can eat but combos are a good deal & decent amount of meat. Meat quality is definitely better than what you get at all you can eat places. Worth your money.
La viande est top. Le combo pour deux est ultra généreux & les sides sont vraiment bons. Notre serveuse était gentille & serviable. Mon ado de 13 ans, qui est difficilement impressionnable, dit que c'est son nouveau resto préféré, donc bravo 😂
It was fun, the decor was fun & the food was good if you had enough, but the wait time was long throughout the night.
The place isn't ventilated very well so be prepared to all your clothes will smell, it's expected but it was very intense compared to other places I've been to.
The music can be very loud so you can only talk to your immediate seating partners.
We were 6, & they gave us sides that are complimentary but they gave just one of each & they're very small which isn't enough for all of us. By default bring two plates of each because we had to ask for more which isn't optimized for the waiter who's already running around & then they either forget or just takes a lot of time.
Food is a bit expensive for quantity, especially the sides or individual portions, I'm speaking for people with big appetites. I recommend the combo which is the best value for money quantity. Good amount of meat which was delicious! & two sides what were great.
Tldr; food is great but get the combo for best value. Takes time to get things. Can be overwhelming for the senses: auditory & smell
