Sota BBQ Coréen concentre son expertise culinaire sur la tradition interactive de la grillade à table, où les convives saisissent des coupes de bœuf, de porc et de fruits de mer marinés sur des flammes vives. Le menu met en avant des incontournables tels que le bulgogi finement tranché, la poitrine de porc épicée et les galbi tendres, servis avec une sélection variée de banchan préparés maison. Chaque service intègre les éléments essentiels de la fermentation et des épices, utilisant des préparations traditionnelles comme le kimchi et la pâte de soja pour structurer les profils aromatiques. La disposition des tables facilite les repas en groupe, intégrant des systèmes de ventilation conçus pour gérer la fumée générée par la cuisson. Les convives gèrent directement la source de chaleur pour ajuster la texture et le marquage des ingrédients selon leurs préférences personnelles.
Sota BBQ Coréen propose une expérience très variable, de nombreux clients louant la qualité, la fraîcheur et la variété des viandes et des options offertes dans leur formule à volonté. Si certains convives trouvent le service exceptionnellement rapide, amical et accommodant, d'autres signalent des incohérences importantes, notamment des temps d'attente prolongés, des oublis dans les commandes et des difficultés liées à la barrière de la langue. Des préoccupations ont été soulevées concernant les politiques de pourboires obligatoires, les limitations de paiement et une attitude parfois impolie du personnel ou de la direction lors de discussions sur le service. Bien que l'atmosphère soit souvent décrite comme agréable et adaptée aux groupes, la cohérence globale de l'exécution culinaire et du service à la clientèle demeure un point de discorde parmi les visiteurs.
Hello guys
It was my second time here in Sota bbq
& I reserved my table for down stairs & they changed their lighting & it was really good !
Food was good as always!
Must visit
Forced us to tip. Even though they had absolutely NO service at all. The servers had an insane attitude towards us, they kept giving us bad looks & didn't even bother to smile. I thought that was the bare minimum? If you don't want to see a customer, simply don't become a server? But if that's your only option for a job & want to earn money from tips, put in some efforts. The way they'asked' us for tips was pathetic. They insisted that we did not pay taxes, even though it was literally written on the receipt that we already had paid the full amount. The manager had a horrible attitude & forced us to pay an additional 6$, insisting that it was'for taxes' but clearly it wasn't. I'm not against tips but you'd had to earn it like everyone else, not force your way into it. Put in some efforts. Please. At least smile. As a customer, I do not plan to go in a restaurant where the server will do nothing but give me terrible looks & judge. Like my bad I want a normal service?
The food was good but I need to make a suggestion that the wait staff let customers know when they walk in when the last call to order is.
We came in for a late meal, sat down at 9:45pm & made our order with in 4 mins of sitting.
We just starting cooking when a waiter came by at 10pm saying it was last call in 10 mins.
They close 11:30pm.
Worried that were paying over 100$ for 2 people with tip, only getting 1 round of food & potentially not being satisfied. We ordered a second round & of course, needed to take some to go. They charged us an extra 25$ to take the plate home.
If we would have know the last call time we would have went to the late night hotpot place down the street.
Kinda scamy not going to lie.
Sad too cuz we've always enjoyed ourselves at sota.
I come here often because the food is delicious & the service is quick. I visited again yesterday, the food was as good as ever, but I was very disappointed with the service of the female staff member. She was visibly annoyed when I asked about the salad I ordered on the app. I waited 30 minutes & didn't see the salad & kimchi that came with my order, so I asked the staff. She looked irritated even though I explained very normally that I knew vegetables were expensive in winter, so we had to pay $1 for each salad, which wasn't a problem for me. Because for me, eating grilled food without vegetables loses 50% of its deliciousness. The service yesterday was very poor & I had a bad meal. I apologize for not tipping, but I was unhappy with the service yesterday. They gave me an incomplete order even though the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. If it were busy, I would understand. But the staff were still chatting amongst themselves. There were missing orders, & not a single staff member cleared the empty plates. I was very disappointed with the female staff member yesterday. Normally I'm not very picky, but the attitude of that girl yesterday made me feel dissatisfied. I hope the team will improve. Thank you.
Has to be the worst KBBQ I have went
Always came here before, but I guess won't be coming back anymore. Service used to be better!
We were in the basement
First, we were served so much food & told us If can't finish it to leave it on the side & they'll take it back. Well we did & saw them putting it back in the refrigerator!!!!
Second, they gave us a bin to put our used containers so that they won't need to get our used dishes!!
Third, They served the same pitcher we had just used for coke to another table without washing it!!
Fourth,the server came & gave me our receipt without even being done & I told them we weren't done & they just replied well you can pay now & stay!!! They even charged me the tip already & we were only 5!!!
Fifth, the food was very average, for sure not fresh, the salmon had a smell
Nous n'avons eu aucun service & c'était notre première fois la bas. Une chance quon avait deja manger dans un restaurant semblable. La nourriture etait pas pire, sushi très bon, sauf tous ce qui est frit comme le poulet général tao boeuf au sésame qui etait froid alors pas très bon. La plaque au milieu n'a pas ete changer durant notre repas alors a la fin elle etait trop utiliser. On avait a peine fini que la personne est venu nous faire payer alors quon commandais encore. L'ambiance etait bien puisque on a ete tranquille & chacun s'occupe de sa table (les clients) mais cela manquait de service client
I know is a all you can eat but come on man look at that rainbow roll man 🤣how can you serve this is beyond me 🤣 the rest of the food wasn't great either went there cause gyubee was full never ever again wannabe kbbq 🤣
Ever since Seoul Chako closed, this spot has become my go-to for all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ in Montreal. The quality is consistently great, & the bonus is that they offer sushi as well, perfect for us because my husband is obsessed with sushi.
I also really appreciate how well-ventilated the dining area is. Indoor BBQ spots often struggle with smoke, but they've mastered the balance here. You can actually enjoy your meal without smelling like a grill afterward.
Highly recommend! this place never disappoints (I've been 5x with family & friends)
