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.
The food, drinks & atmosphere was amazing. The service was also very thoughtful & me & my friends had a wonderful time. I highly definitely recommend it if you like Korean BBQs. Would have loved more vegan options for my friend but it's a bbq place so not removing any stars for that.
Bonne nourriture. On a commandé un combo pour 4 alors qu'on était 5 & nous avons tous mangé à notre faim. Nourriture délicieuse. Ambiance incroyable. Seul côté négatif est que le service était très lent.

A lot more expensive than all you can eat but the quality is not high to justify it Good food but the price makes it hard to choose over all you can eat kbbq
Delicious food, though it took a little while until someone took our order. The cocktail was a bit underwhelming (really tiny drink for that price), & the grill was a little too high at first so we burnt our meat.
Quite pricy, but absolutely delicious. Staff was very nice & the ambiance was REALLY FUN!

Pony 🐎 was such a pleasant surprise for a Saturday night out! I didn't take as many pictures as I should have because I was too busy enjoying the food & drink haha. We got the combo for 4. Food was of delicious quality & the quantity was abundant as well! We were a group of 4 & all left completely full & satisfied. The drinks were also on point. We partook in soju as well as the sake & for a little post meal digestive we ordered a pitcher of soju cocktail that the bartender custom made for our tastes. Now possibly the best part of the evening. THE SERVICE! The staff was amazing, welcoming, attentive, helpful, & fun. The bartender-who's name I did not get, tall blond guy -went above & beyond to make sure our specific tastes were met. As well our server (Hanat) was a true gem, & made the whole experience next level. We will definitely be back! The laid back, hip vibe that this restaurant offers , on top of the great food makes Pony a MUST for a Montreal night out.
The layout of the tables in the back of the dining area isn't very nice as there are waiters/waitresses passing by every second. Despite this we had trouble getting their attention to get our side dishes refilled or to order more drinks. There weren't many side dishes considering it's KBBQ. When I went the ventilation was also quite poor, one person at our table kept getting all the smoke from the grill. The gochu cocktail is really good though 🌶️
The ambiance & the decor portrayed an authentic KBBQ experience straight from the streets of Seoul. The service was excellent with the staff always making sure we got our fair share of banchan to go with our course. This crew is definitely one of the friendliest in the city. The cuts of meat were great. The kalbi was extremely well marinated & the thick cuts of pork belly paired nicely with some lettuce & their sauces. Their budae jjigae had the tastiest broth I've ever had & pulls me back for seconds. 10/10

Overall: 3/5 Good in taste quality, | Price vs. Value: 2/5 - Unfortunately, considering the price, the quantity of ban chan & especially the meat left much to be desired. The portion size was surprisingly inadequate, given the price tag of nearly $100. Despite the quality, the overall value for the money was disappointing, as we didn't feel full by the end of the meal. | Menu Variety: 2.5/5 - The restaurant offers a good variety of options to accommodate diverse tastes. However, it falls short in addressing specific dietary needs, lacking combos for individuals who cannot consume pork or beef. Additionally, the limitation of one stove per table complicates matters for those with dietary restrictions. | Ambiance: 3/5 - The decor was quite appealing, & the choice of music, although not bad, was slightly loud, making it challenging to engage in conversations. | Food Quality: 3/5 - The meat's quality was exceptional, offering a fresh, delicious, & tasty experience with a pleasing texture. However, a minor drawback was that the bibimbap arrived a bit cold. | Hygiene & Sanitation: 4/5 - The restaurant maintained good cleanliness throughout the establishment, including the restrooms, ensuring a hygienic & sanitary dining environment. |Service: 5/5 - The staff exhibited the utmost professionalism, courtesy, & responsiveness, providing an awesome dining experience. Service was consistently prompt.
