| - This place is amazing!
I've been here twice now will keep coming back whenever I'm feeling that Korean BBQ craving. Meat is fresh, high quality and there is a good selection!
I really want to write this review because I hate knowing that a 1 star review/rant about the weather as the first thing people see on Yelp when you search K-BBQ. It isn't a fair review in the slightest and should not be the first impression that people get when they look up K-BBQ.
The restaurant is located in a beautify old stone house and offers a very unique Korean BBQ. If it weren't for the BBQs at each table you could probably walk in and think it was a French bistro. Yes old houses= less insulation so it won't be as warm as if it was in a newly built building but to insinuate near hypothermia is a huge exaggeration. I can get super technical with the science behind heat retention....but this is a restaurant review not a lab report.
So in case you aren't aware (clearly the Yelp Elite member was not) Korean BBQ is a concept where you order uncooked meat and then grill it yourself at your table (there is a big round grill at the center of each table). It is usually all you can eat for a fixed price, think all you can eat sushi but with good quality meat. It is a simple concept but when done right is fun, interactive, and delicious!
If you do go to a Korean BBQ restaurant I would highly suggest getting what they are known for, not one of the filler items that are on there just in case someone doesn't want BBQ in your group.
The best way to explain it is by thinking about an all you can eat sushi restaurant. 95% of the menu is sushi but there is always 5% other Japanese or even other Asian dishes, just in case someone doesn't eat sushi but comes with friends.
K-BBQ similarly has a few classic Korean menu items that aren't Korean BBQ (raw meat you have to cook) , but to write a review about a restaurant after only trying the Bibimbap, is very unfair. There are Korean restaurants that don't do BBQ and focus on classic Korean dishes like Bibimbap, if that is more what you want I can recommend 2-3 great places but don't go to a Korean BBQ restaurant then. It is like going to a steakhouse, having a house salad and then complaining because it isn't as delicious as that salad you had at Mandy's 2 weeks ago...
K-BBQ is great Korean BBQ because out of the many places I've been to in MTL, it has one of the best selections and the meat is some of the freshest I've seen. You can tell they don't have everything pre cut like other restaurants in MTL.
I really hope a lot of people vote/like this review just so it surpasses the rant that is currently the #1 review. I really don't like that I am calling out a fellow yelpers but seriously... before writing something, take a step back, a deep breath wait a day to collect your thoughts and don't shit on a restaurant because you were cold and tried the equivalent of the house salad....
Especially considering he is a Yelp Elite member.
