We came there with a big group of coworkers. We had a few party of 4 combo meals. The food was incredible, portions generous. Service was kind. Ambiance was very quiet. Interesting decor.
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!
Will definitely be back for more!

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
