Review Summary

Sota BBQ Coréen is hailed by many as one of Montreal's best all you can eat KBBQ, delivering tasty beef and other meats, solid sushi options, and a dessert line including ice cream that earned frequent praise, with some visits featuring fast service and a lively, well ventilated dining room. Experiences vary widely, though, with reports of long waits during busy times, last call rushes that force large upfront orders, incomplete or delayed dishes, and occasional billing issues such as added gratuities or hidden surcharges. Language and service consistency also come up, from attentive, friendly staff to comments about uneven attention, limited French or English, and inconsistent timing between courses and grills. Overall, it remains a popular spot for groups and celebrations, especially for fans of AYCE with a mix of Korean barbecue and sushi, but several reviews caution that the value and quality can depend on the visit, timing and how smoothly the service runs on that day.

ÉNORMÉMENT DÉÇU.

Nous sommes venu moi & mon conjoint un samedi soir (28 mars 2026) vers 20h, donc nous nous attendions à ce que le service soit un peu plus complexe, mais nous avons tout de même été très très déçu. Dès l'arriver on nous à mis sur une table de 6 avec un autre couple, ce qui nous dérangeait pas du tout, mais l'autre couple ne s'emblait pas avoir été mis au courant ce que je trouve désagréable pour eux. Les serveur mélangeait les commande & donnait à l'autre couple nos demande alors que nous avions deux numéro de table différentes & ils nous avait dit à l'accueil qu'il n'y aurait pas de différence avec une table seul & que nous allions avoir nos propre commande. Quand nous avons commander la première tourner, nous avons reçu le quart de ce que nous avions commander à la base. Il manquait énormément d'articles & nous avons mis ça sur un retard en cuisine, mais nous avons jamais reçu ces plats en 1h30. Nous avons donc continuer à commander & à chaque commande c'était la même chose, nous recevions que quelques articles, mais jamais l'entièreté. Notre dernière commande nous l'avons tout simplement jamais reçu, AUCUN articles. Nous avons été servi par des serveurs qui ne parlais pas ni ne comprenais le français, ce qui à été dur rendu à la facture. Le pourboire de 18% était déjà inclus dans la facture, ce qui ne nous laissait pas le droit de choisir nôtre propre pourboire, surtout avec le service désagréable qui nous à été servi. Sans oublier que nous avons du demander au moins 5 fois de l'eau pour en recevoir que 3 fois. Aucun refile n'aurait été fait si nous n'avions pas demander, aucun serveur n'est venu nous demander si le repas ce passait bien & nous avions l'impression de toujours les déranger. Pour le prix que nous avons payer, nous sommes très déçu & nous ne reviendrons jamais & je vous conseil de faire de-même.

I made a reservation for a group dinner with my friends on a weekday afternoon, & it turned out to be a great choice. We opted for the all-you-can-eat dinner menu, which was affordable-especially since drinks were already included. The atmosphere was really pleasant & relaxed, as it wasn't too crowded, making it perfect for catching up & enjoying each other's company. Overall, a smooth & enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend for group gatherings.

We had a great experience @Sota - we reserved for a group of 10 for a friend's birthday, they adjusted the reservation twice according to our demands, they were extremely patient with people from our party that arrived late & we just had an amazing service from the staff overall. Extremely friendly & super patient, brought us water when needed super quickly. You can tell they were swamped & busy but always smiling & polite with us. A big 10/10, it is very rare to see hardworking staff, we had all the reasons to be an'unpleasant' group given some of us were late but they were extremely understanding.

Sushi was bland & didn't have many options. The waiter was struggling to speak clearly. Overall the quality of the food was just not there.

Honestly one of the best AYCE KBBQ in Montreal. You should come here in the evening for their evening menu but the lunch is just as good as well! All you can drink sodas come with the menu!

Sincèrement très déçu, malgré notre réservation on a attendu plus de 15minutes après l'heure prévu.

Un coup assis, cela a pris plus 45 minutes on n'a pas tout reçu & en plus c'était indiqué que nous avions tout reçu,
La raison de l'attente est qu'ils n'avaient plus ce que nous commandions.
Mais ils ne sont pas venue nous le dire.

La serveuse est gentille & a fait son possible, mais elle n'est pas venue souvent & en plus plus de liqueurs de disponible & plusieurs fois qu'ils se sont trompés de table.

Sérieux décevant pour le prix payé, en plus tu n'as pas le choix du pourboire car ils l'incluent directement sur la facture.

One of the best eat all you can Korean BBQ in montreal. Variety of foods to choose from in an affordable price. I love the ice cream especially the red bean & green tea. Generous cut of beef steak. The calamari & octopus tail are great. There are just some missing on orders, & take some time to receive. Soup is serve in small bowl. But over all we love the place, surely we will visit again soon.

Went there for lunch. The food is good but there is not a lot of choice of meat. The service was very quick. Unexpectedly at the end after we paid (we all left a tip) the server looked mad & threw away angrily our receipt. Like im sorry but you went once to refill water & you did not effort to communicate with us, don't expect a 20% tip for that. Anyhow overall it was good

A girl wearing glasses & looking very pretty served very well. The other men almost remained standing still. When they were serving table, they had no smiles at all, except for the girl who would smile while serving. BTW She smiled so cote. Just one second after my chopsticks dropped, she appeared & gave me new chopsticks. Unfortunately, when I asked her ig, she told me that she already had a boyfriend. She was not only an excellent waitress but also an excellent girlfriend.
