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.
The food was excellent & the atmosphere was really nice . The waitress was super friendly I really liked my experience & I'm gonna go back for sure 😁 ( my new favorite restaurant)!!
The food was nice, we got the mix for 4 people, & it was more than enough, & so delicious. The only problem was that there was smoke everywhere, & also I think the music was a bit high.

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 😂
I had a great experience at Pony Restaurant. The ambiance was cozy & inviting, & the service was friendly & attentive. The meat was fresh & tender, & the side dishes were delicious. I especially enjoyed the spicy kimchi & the sweet potato sides. The portions were generous & the price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Korean barbeque.
Really fun design, felt like we were having street food in South Korea. We had the Beef set for 2 & loved it, & service was quick & attentive. Felt super full. To improve: the floors are quite sticky, & slippery so have to be careful when standing up or walking around to the washroom, etc. Portion sizes for the set was great but the side dishes were not as great (lacking in taste, would like some more side options: gamja jorim, kongnamul muchim, sigeumchi namul).

Food was good, but table was uncomfortable- but unavoidable I guess because of the grill in the middle- but for tall people, it is a bit of pretzel situation. I also found the food rather expensive. But, it's not like the prices were hidden, I knew was I was paying before hand- I just wish there was more meat for the price of the meal for 2. Service was great.
Belle expérience, produits de qualités & service excellent, le seul point négatif c'est la quille le y avait énormément de fumée en début de soirée mais moins sur la fin.
Belle soirée

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
It's good but it's just that, good. The food quality is okay, the service was okay. & it's too expensive for what it is. It was a nice experience though & the interior is nice
The food, service & ambiance are all recommendation worthy. In particular the side dishes are a star on their own even & what's better is that the refills are free!

The food is good, similar to Daldongnae, where you choose what type of meat to bbq. It comes with some side dishes as well. We also tried the steam egg which is very good. The major disappointments in my opinion are the lack of light in the restaurant & the choice of music (dance, rap). The only well lit area is in the back & it's very loud as it's next to the speakers. The rest feels like in a street alley with close to no light.
The quality of the meat is very good. I've been to about 4 Korean BBQ restaurants & this is the best. The all-you-can-eat side dishes like kimchi, japchae, & salad were also very good. When I'm in the mood for pork belly, this is where I go.
The food was fresh & really good! The wait staff was phenomenal, answered all our questions, gave recommendations & super friendly. The decor inside is really cool too! Definitely give this place a try.
