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.
Every corner of Pony BBQ is Instagram-worthy! The combination of vibrant colors & cool airport decor makes this place a visual delight! Not to mention the impeccable service staff & delicious Korean BBQ 👌 highly recommend!!
We had a nice time there. We booked a table for 11 people & had enough room, even for a stroller. The atmosphere is nice, though a bit smoky because it's a barbecue restaurant. The meat is okay, but the portions might be a bit small for meat lovers. We ordered two platters of meat for four people.
What we really enjoyed were the sides, especially the Gyeranjjim (Korean steamed eggs) & the unlimited Banchan (small side dishes). I personally loved their homemade Kimchi.
It's worth noting that although the waiters were really busy, they stayed calm & were helpful throughout.
Finally, it is on the expensive side, just like most Korean barbecue spots in Montreal.

Great tasty korean bbq but service was lacking. We had a server the first hour but the several of our additional meat & drink orders never arrived. The server did not offer us water after the first hour & we had to try to find on our own someone else to help close the tab & pay the bill.
This is the best a la carte Korean bbq restaurant I've been to in Montreal! Everything tasted amazing. The server Van went above & beyond with the service. She was very polite, funny & professional which made the dine in experience even better. Great atmosphere as well, love the music. Cheers!
This korean BBQ comes with a lot of unlimited side dishes & it's fun to mix & match the grilled meat with them. Their soups are also great & go well with the meat.
The staff were friendly & it was fast to ask for refills.
The ambiance is very nice, but the ventilation system seems nonexistent. It's very smokey inside & you end up smelling like BBQ.
Amazing food... The staff was great & attentive. The place had a fun decor! Such a great place to get together as a group or even for a date night. Fun & energetic ambiance. Give it a try! Don't worry if you're unsure how to eat at a Korean BBQ they'll explain it well.
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.
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 started with 📌Rabboki-ramyun noodles, spicy k-sauce, rice cake, fish cake, & a hard boiled egg. Unfortunately, it tasted rather plain & wasn't as spicy as we'd hoped. On the brighter side, the 📌Jokbal (soy-braised pig's trotters) was fantastic!! Perfectly cooked & richly spiced, it's a must-try here❤️ The real star of the night, though, was the 📌Hetteok & Ice Cream. This sweet Korean pancake with cranberry compote & mixed nuts was absolutely delicious. Sweet, nutty, & warm! It was the perfect dessert & my favorite dish at Pony!✨ For drinks, we had the 📌Milkis Fizz & 📌Gochu Spicy Margarita, but both tasted like watered down alcohol, which was a letdown. Overall, Pony has some real gems on the menu (don't miss the Jokbal & Hetteok!), but the flavor & quality of the other dishes & drinks could use some refinement.
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!
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!
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.
