Exceptional service! A special shout out to Chris who was a very gracious and attentive host right from beginning to end. My friend and I ordered Korean BBQ - pork and beef - the meat portions were very generous and the many sides were fresh with plenty of refills provided. I definitely recommend this place - highly!

This is one of my top favourites for Korean bbq! The service is fast and friendly, they always come to change the grill without us even having to ask. The meats are all great quality and every side dish is so delicious. I always leave happy. Thank you so much. Definitely has become a regular must for me and my loved ones ♥️

Great Korean BBQ place. The meat is amazing. I would recommend the marinated beef ribs. Their home made kimchi is great. The spicy seafood tofu soup is good but not much seafood. Service is also very good. They even help you BBQ sometimes.

Great food and huge meat portions. This is my first time trying Korean barbeque and I absolutely Loved it. This place has indoor and outdoor seatings and all the tables have both of barbeque and a stove top built-in. We ordered the marinated beef and the chicken with cheese. I’ve grown up in Canada without much experience with Korean food at all and I really enjoyed it. You do have to have some tolerance for spice. It was fun to have the experience of cooking the food at the table and the beef was great quality. We also got a huge platter with the chicken and cheese between my friend and I we had plenty to eat plus tons of leftovers highly recommend.

Second time here with friends and the food never disappoint. Great tasting food with good atmosphere. The servers pass by a lot but they don't check on us as much. Though when we call them, they were very responsive every time. Only thing is the meat amount felt little for the price, but with additional sides we were all very satisfied. Would come here again she's recommend to others!

Food's very tasty, but the portion could he small. The side dishes were good. 👍The male staffs are nice, but if the female staff who take the payment could put on smile on her face would make this experience 5 solid stars.

A place where you can enjoy Korean cuisine with a new style. In the genre of "sot-bap" (pot rice), you can taste dishes where various ingredients harmoniously come together. The abalone pot rice was excellent with its tender abalone and umami flavor when mixed with the abalone innard sauce. The sea bass pot rice had a refreshing twist with lemon zest on top, making it enjoyable both as a light dish on its own or with traditional seasoning sauce.

I had an unpleasant dining experience. I asked the waiter to bring napkins and add tea. I had to ask the waiter 3 or 4 times before they were delivered! In fact, its not that busy. Its because the waiters are lazy and dont want to pay attention to anyone! Adding side dishes is also very stingy. Maybe the business is so good that they dont pay attention to service! There are delicious Korean restaurants everywhere, so you don t need to go to this one in particular!

December 2024: I went there at noon. It was not the original store when I went in, but the waiter insisted that it was the same store, so I ordered a set meal. To be honest, it was not as delicious as the original one, and there were very few varieties, so I was a little disappointed. September 2024: Went for a set meal at noon. It tasted good and the price was right. It was worth going.

The abalone pot rice came with internal sauce and I enjoyed it very much. The price was very reasonable, so I think I will be visiting often. I also ordered seasoned crab sauce and it was very delicious. Be sure to order and eat pot rice.

First time at Kobi. Amazing fresh food. Great service. The menu was to us and the staff took the time to explain to us and made great suggestions. We will definitely be back. Kid-friendliness: We asked for some ramen noodles and poured tofu soup on it. My kid loved it and she is a very picky eater.

I don t even know where to begin, the good? most of the marinated meat was flavourful and what appeared to be one of the owners or manager was at least trying. The ugly; took over 40 minutes for food to come out, we had the bbq which is literally raw meat that you cook at your table. Sadly not even the meat came in complete, it took another 30 minutes for a missing plate to get to us. We repeatedly had to asked for sides, food, rice, chopsticks, plates, everything including water because we never got offered any other drinks, guess they weren t interested in upselling. Nothing came in proactively. We ordered an appetizer but never came, by the end of the meal we were then told they didnt have it. After 3 hours nobody came to the table and again we had to beg for the bill. One person, perhaps the manager was apologetic and blamed it on a new system but unfortunately value is not there either, portions of meat were small and frankly with so many good Korean places in the city is hard to justify coming back. Hate to leave this type of reviews but hope it helps them improve because it s badly needed

I was surprised by the deep flavor that was more original than Korean. The abalone pot rice, sauce, sea bass pot rice, and the contents were substantial and delicious. The refreshing bean sprout oyster soup also brings back memories. It was great to eat chewy pot rice and soothe my mouth with scorched rice~~Ill go there again ^_^

God damn, the most tasty Korean resturant in this arena. Way too much better than others, pure & real one. I ordered Beef & pork BBQ only, super good.

I went for lunch Thanksgiving day with my family. Upon walking in, lady server was very unpleasant not did not give any welcoming vibe, instead making a fuzz. Came to the table to take order and still continued giving attitude. She can t understand English properly and made error on our order (lacking). She was visibly whining up and making sigh even in front of us while putting our meal on the table. Reason: we can t think of any as she was giving negative attitude the moment we walked in the restaurant. I asked her straight up, what was her problem and why she was acting like that to us because it was making us including the kids very uncomfortable and happy? She just ignored and kept giving attitude by raising eyebrows and just dropping food on the one just side of the long table. My whole family then right after agreed we want to leave that very moment as she was so rude and she was already ruining our Thanksgiving day celebration. The other male server noticed right away, came, and asked what happened. He did confirmed that it was not the first time customers complained with the lady server s attitude. The male server apologized, asked for us to stay and commit that he will be the one serving us instead of the lady. We gave chance despite the lady server ruined our day. We did not hear any apology from the lady server and she continued to act like her rude attitude was normal for her. Overall, food was okay, ambience was so so compared to other Korean restaurants. Regardless of how good the place and food, IT WAS THE SERVICE WHICH WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING BUT COMPLETELY FAILED DUE TO RUDE LADY SERVER. Keeping the lady in that restaurant just bringing negative energy for the business and surely makes potential repeat customers never comes back again like us. PS: to the lady server: if you are unhappy with your work and just want to come to get more money especially it was holiday, please don t do it again. I was not worth it at all for the customer to pay and spend time in the restaurant then you just giving rude and bad attitude in return for no reason. You don t belong to customer service word. Stay home please.

September 22, 2024

I was at the restaurant on Saturday August 24th around 5 pm. The server who had orange hair with pony tail was pretty rude. She needs to learn proper customer service. The other sever who had black hair and pretty face was the only one with good customer service and attitude. But food was pretty good.

The worst service ever. The way a waitress treated us so bad by throwing the BBQ cover on the table when she knew that we only ordered soup instead of BBQ. We could not tolerate this attitude, so we decided to stand up, cancel orders and leave. I even politely said to her that I was cancelling orders. They said ok. Wow!!!!

The server seemed friendly, but had no interest in what was missing on the table. No matter how much you ask for something, its rarely given right away. Even if I tell you twice, they wont give it to you. It was a time when there werent many people, but the amount of meat was small and it was expensive. Compared to Dalxx, there was almost half of the rice in it.

Very attentive and quick service. Their spicy chicken and cheese really hits the spot and not overbearingly spicy. The seafood pancake was a little too greasy but the sauce it comes with is fantastic.

December 22, 2023

Low food quality and service The pancake seems smaller than before. The amount of the meat is less than before. The soup was really salty. One of the waiters refused to add some water in the soup. But it seems acceptable with another waiter. The side dishes were refused to add by the same waiter, But added by another waiter.

Went to celebrate my colleagues birthday, and they were out of any chicken/vegetarian options. I wasnt told that they were out of chicken and assumed that one of the dishes were mine as it was placed closest to me when I got back from the washroom and I mistakenly ate beef, which I dont eat due to religious beliefs.

I recently dined at Kobi, and unfortunately, my experience was decent. Firstly, the portions were quite small and expensive, which was disappointing. Additionally, I tried the mozarella corn cheese, but found it to be quite underwhelming. I think it would have been much better if it had been prepared with a little more butter. Overall, while the atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, I dont think I would recommend it based on the small portions and lackluster food.

When I ate Dakgalbi before Corona, I was satisfied with the taste, service, and price, and during Corona, I tried pork soup, but I was dissatisfied with the food so I didnt go, but it was close to my house, so I went after a long time. I had seasoned beef ribs and cold noodles, and the meat quality was good. It was bad, and the overall food quality was visible, with only 3-4 side dishes such as stir-fried peanuts and bruccoli being served. The prices of food ingredients have risen since the coronavirus, but Now, the price of vegetables at Chinese supermarkets like this is the season. Its normalized a lot, but it seems like the food quality continues to be the same as the coronavirus, using the coronavirus as an excuse. The cold noodle bowl and barbecue grill were also very old. The cost-effectiveness is significantly lower than the price. Hall service was okay. If operated in its current state, it is a similar business. It is less competitive than Daldongne or Sariwon. I hope the owner reads the reviews carefully and runs the restaurant well so that it can be successful like before.

Why 2 stars? The food was okay but their safety have not meet. If you wearing short or skirts, please be extra caution when sitting in one of the grilling table like video - the lower part of the grill was not fully cover and the space was super small & narrow so I got a hot burn in my knee. Shabu Shabu MUST TRY when you come here, I think this one should be recommended as their signature dish instead of the BBQ Grill, the beef broth was super tasty and strong flavour - ingredients was also super fresh We ordered set for 2 which included noodle but we need to order until the 3rd times so they can bring the noodle out BBQ Grill: 7.5/10 - the meat was ok, not as good when compare to another korean BBQ place especially when the thin slice pork was brining out frozen. They changing the grilling plate depends on different type of meat you eating to avoid the meat getting burn so that is one of the bonus point. Cold Noodle: don t order it, it doesn t taste anything beside cold - missing sweat flavor from pear & the salty from slushy. As you can tell from the picture how boring it is Their closing time is 11pm ( based on what the server told us when we first got in at 9pm ) but they giving us the bill at 10pm with the attitude of kicking us out The overall service was great, the lady seem like team lead was super friendly & pay attention to detail, special thanks to one of the young server, he noticed my weird act and getting me a bag of ice to help with the swelling - they aware of that danger but seem like they haven t act on solution??

Nice to have a place with an outdoor grill, but the service and food are only okay. It s also annoying that they start cooking all your meat for you when they think you are eating too slow. If you choose to order the spicy chicken/squid with the melting cheese ring, I strongly suggest you add noodles or more rice cake to the dish. It makes it that much yummier.

This wasn t my first time at Kobi and the other times were great. Although the food was good, the service was just straight up horrible. The server was extremely rude and failed to communicate anything properly. We had attempted to correct him about this miscommunication but was met with attitude and unwillingness to give us our order. He had also given us the wrong grill for our beef and another server kindly changed it for us. He reluctantly gave us our pork belly, with much attitude. Afterwards, the server was visibly mad and made our experience so uncomfortable. Although the meat was great, I have never been met with such rudeness at a restaurant before. Definitely won t be going back, I was full from anger at that point. Hopefully this restaurant can educate their staffs to treat customers with courtesy.

Excellent kbbq place, went with my family to celebrate my birthday and for the most part enjoyed our food. We had the table bbq and my fave korean dish during the hot summers (nyeongmyun, arrowroot noodles in cold broth). The only con was that they had alot of missing menu items and only told us of the food shortage halfway through our meal. My picky korean mother was not impressed. Other than that, I enjoyed my meal and the good company.

I ordered back rib kimchi casserole, and it was the worst food Ive ever had in my 60s. There were quite a few pieces of burnt kimchi, but there was no burnt taste or aroma at all. It was a kimchi casserole that had no taste of kimchi or pork ribs, which was strange and I cant express it in words. I had a meal with 4 side dishes, but I wanted a refill. It wasnt even 7pm on Friday, and the waitress had the sense of serving bok choy salad on the plate that still had a few pieces of seaweed stems because she said she had run out. Dont insist no, I have pictures.

Great place, the spicy chicken with cheese is there most famous dish, it takes a little bit of time to cook but once it arrives at your table it stays hot and spicy because of the constant heat applied to the dish from the burner or propane source.

The staff at this location are all wonderful! I really appreciated them checking in on us throughout our dinner. They took initiative to help cook our meat, and refill and banchan if they notice it s empty. Portions are reasonable for the price you pay, as they also provide a great variety of banchan. It was a busy night, and I noticed the host always trying to accommodate walkins the best he could, without plainly turning customers away.

Food was really good, good quality meats and well seasoned. Just one thing, it was unconfortably cold in there (for the winter). Turning up the heat 2 or 3 degrees might have been nice.

Although this Korean barbecue restaurant is old, its popularity is not low. As soon as you enter the store, you can feel the Korean-style barbecue environment, and the booths and private rooms are both comfortable! The portion size of this meal for two is not ridiculous at all! The food was served quickly. The standard Korean kimchi appetizer series is indispensable, and then there is the must-eat pork belly! The two big pieces sizzled on the stove, and the grease overflowed so much that your mouth watered! Bake it until golden brown and eat it with lettuce and side dishes. It will be extremely satisfying! Each piece of the signature [Secret Spare Ribs] is very large and marinated in a delicious way. Its so delicious after being roasted to a crispy aroma. In addition to the meat that carnivores love, miso soup and steamed eggs are also good.

Its a shame its not even worth giving one star. The chicken ribs really looked like they were mixed with red pepper paste and had no taste. There were very few vegetables. .I couldnt even eat half of the cold noodles, including water naeng and non naeng. I insisted and brought my friends I went and was embarrassed. Its probably hard to go again... I wouldnt even recommend it. You worked hard to make the food, but I couldnt give you a tip.

Phenomenal experience here. Nate was our server and he was so gracious to a couple East Coasters who had no idea how or what to order. Totally would have expected him to be the owner by the way he treated us. The food was unbelievably good, the atmosphere was fun, and we had the best of times. Seriously--you should check this place out.

Delicious food, nice service, good size portion and good value for money. I loved all the side dishes that come with the BBQ, they were varied nd delicious. I would definitely recommend and would come back. Only reason I am giving 4 start is because our grill was defective and had to wait for a while while the tried to turn it back on again.

Took awhile getting seats even though there are tables available. They are just lack of staff probably. The meat quality was great but not enough flavor. Like their marinade beef and chicken with cheese. Vegetarian options: You wouldnt want to come here if youre vegetarian because its Kbbq and mainly for meats Parking: Its a plaza so there are parking available at site

Food: 2.5 | Service: -2.5 | Ambiance: 2 Service: We are in shock of how rude the waiters are. We have two separate tables. Both tables experienced the same negative attitude from the waiters. If you don t want customers, feel free to turn people away. There are other excellent korean bbq nearby. Food: We ordered multiple type of meats. They were average. I wish it tastes fresher and more favor. Side dishes are a joke. Ambiance: Imaging old korean restaurant. Loud ceiling hood & small tight booth. One of us feels claustrophobic. We have to move her to the outside seat. We own & operate multiple restaurants. Your waiters got 18% tip from us last night since tips are probably shared with the kitchen staff. Clearly, our two waiters weren t working for the tips. Red sweater girl from last night dinner, 7/7/22.

This was an amazing dining experience! Its fun, interactive and the service was EXCELLENT!! 3 ppl - we ordered seafood pancake - sooo crispy! We had the hot grill (spicy squid & cheese) and hot plate (oden nabe) in use! You also need to order rice separately! The squid dish is a mix of squid, rice cake & onions. It cost $39.99. Yea a bit expensive but worth the experience!! The oden nabe (fish cakes with broth) was better than any of us expected!! $19.99 The broth was phenomenal - my mom said basic yet perfect! We got 4 types of ban chan (side dishes) and a steamed egg bowl as service (aka bonus food gift). Loved waiting for everything to cook and heat up! Overall - ya its a wee bit pricey but the taste of the food was fantastic.

The experience itself looked great. The majority of the group enjoyed the food and experience. Chicken and cheese was said to be good. The marinated BBQ was also said to be good. Celiacs - unfortunately the experience and options are limited to watching and drinks for the most part. Dietary restrictions: Celiac, this is a no go, and thats okay.

My wife and I ordered the kimchi stew with pork ribs; it was pretty good, and it cost around $35.00 before tax. Im a little disappointed that it doesnt come with rice, especially at that price point. The Banchan that was given with the meal was pretty limited - kimichi, pickled cucumbers, bean sprout, and some weird spinach with sesame seed. I took off 2 stars because the service needs a little work, especially if they are going to be charging 15% tip.

Food was amazing, meat was excellent with many side dishes, which you can ask for more. Its authentic, definitely a real Korean BBQ. However staffs is not really friendly towards non-koreans. I guess its their culture. They are not rude, thats why I give 4 stars but dont expect to feel a warm welcome.

December 22, 2022

We arrived at 10:05 pm with the restaurant flashing a open sign and the hours visable, says open till 11pm thought my wife an I could got a nice bite to eat. Walked in and we were told we are closed and we were turned away not even offer a tea or minor courtesy. Last I check you dont turn away paying customers during these economic tough times but I guess the owner can be bother to update his sign. If you are closed then close but dont falsely advertise. For this experience you get a 1 star I dont recommend. Pick somewhere else.

Ive heard good things about this place but havent been to it until yesterday, which was Sunday. We arrived around 6:00 pm so it wasnt too packed. We took our seats, ordered 2 servings of and some fish cakes. Their side dishes were all to my likings and it came with soup, 2 rice, and as well. I was very pleased with the quality and quantity, not to mention the friendly staff. I will make sure to go to this place for future BBQ events!

Decent food. But on the pricy side. Surprisingly only mildly spicy, compared to what it looks like. Side dishes otherwise were poor. Could have done without. Kimchi was not good either.

The waitress rolled her eyes on us once we said for takeout. The order process is very impolite with not even a little bit of patient. The SPICY beef insteatine hot pot is not spicy at all, I wonder why the restaurant stated it s spicy. The broth/stew is very blend.

This is a restaurant where you can have table barbecue at a low price. Among them, pork neck is the most delicious. I recommend eating Kobi cold noodles with cold noodles. However, the side dishes are a bit disappointing.
