We were looking foe a new Korean BBQ place to enjoy in Calgary. We went just before dinner at 4 pm. We were seated promptly and ordered the all-u-can eat high-tier for 26.99. The food came quickly and everything charred perfectly on the grill. All cuts of meat were tender and tasty! Lots of flavor, great service, and a fun dinner with my little family. The enclosed booth give us a lot of privacy. Would recommend and come again!

Came her for my sister birthday dinner. It was busy but not packed. We got a table right away. The service was terrible. It seem like the waitress didn't want us there. She kept ignoring us when we tried to order and ask for water. We ordered the japchae (2/5), Jajangmyeon (3/5), bulgogi hot pot (2/5 and they didn't give us a spoon for the soup) and seafood pancake (3/5). Overall food was a bland.

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I remember it used to be a bland restaurant with no spark in their atmosphere but then all of a sudden they renovated and have a nice new decor, like wow. To me Korean BBQ is the same no matter where you go the only difference is that Insadong offered free pop! Of course unlimited rice and sides but all KBBQ does the same. There's two menus to choose from, one being $26 per person or $21 per person. They both offer exactly the same selection but if you were to pay $5 more you'll get beef short ribs and beef ribs (limit to one order per person) Even though they are busy at times to me it feels like they are always short staff. My recent visit, we had to wait roughly 30 minutes until we get a server to take our order. I saw there was a group who got seated first but they were serviced right away which I find odd that they didn't have to wait and we did. One thing for sure is order as MUCH as you can because it will take a while for the server to come back and they won't take your order again until your whole previous order was complete - as in there's no food left to eat then they'll take your order again. Would I recommend Insadong? Of course I will. How will they change my mind from 3 to 4 stars or even 5? Increase the efficiency of each staff or have more servers during busier times.

Huge.  Nice atmosphere

I loved this Korean restaurant! I've recently eaten here twice & both times the food was healthy & delicious! The service was good too; very organized & friendly. Great prices & so many choices on the menu. All dishes included "banchan" which are many small dishes such as kimchi, picked vegetables, small salad, etc. At the end of the meal, they also gave us a free cold slushy dessert which was very good!! I'll definitely go here again.

New design...I love it...

OK, I'm updating my review from 3 to 4 stars... I love love the new decor...and they didn't even change their price. Now I hope that they would do something about the vents...better vents so that when you get out of there you don't smell like BBQ....hihihi I don't like wearing my food...hihi Same kitchen crew. I think they need more waitress...they are all running...I feel bad...they are constantly in a hurry. The food is still great...very yummy...I always order the chicken wings...so good...yum yum...

Comery Block Barbecue - Brisket with fries

This review is for March 2025…read more We flew in late on Thursday, so we were looking for a bite to eat. Quite a few places online stated that they were open late, but we were turned away by a number of places as they ended up closing earlier. Thankfully, one of them pointed us to Comery, one of the fews spots open past midnight. For a late night bite, it hit the spot! Meats are half off after 10pm.The three of us got: - $9 mango wheat - $9 cherry sour - $9.5 1/2 lb brisket (discounted at this time): tender and bombbb. There's an array of housemade BBQ sauces at every table. my fave is the spicy one - $18 wings dry rub: not very memorable but still good - $7 coleslaw: refreshing - $7 spicy fries: not bad Service was a little slow at this time. Took awhile for someone to notice we were waiting. It's dimly lit but the way the tables are set up allows for easy socializing. I would come back!

Holy cow we were impressed with the 250 selection of whiskys!! Richard, the manager was unaware of us arriving (my fault) but quickly arranged a private room for 25 people. Our servers, Maddie and Charmaine worked the room with perfection. Bringing great food like Brisket and smoked pork belly. Everybody enjoyed their time together. As we closed down the our event, Maddie told us about the Prickett Richard Speakeasy under ground. She took us downstairs to the beautiful, dark cozy, discreet bar where you step back to the 1940s. I was waiting for Al Capone to walk through the door. What a place, check it out when you can!!

She was attentive and friendly and made us feel right at home. She helped us make sure everything was cooked perfectly, too. We also really appreciated how great Kaylie and staff were accomadating of our kids.

We had some time to spare before catching our flight back to Toronto and craving some Korean food,…read morewe fortunately stumbled upon this place while looking for some options. There restaurant is split into two section - the ground floor which has the kbbq and the rooftop (oktop) which has some additional menu items. Both sections were nicely decorated and prepared with side dishes ready at the table upon entering. We ordered the kongbul which was served with broth, and it was the perfect amount for the 2 of us. Although the kongbul was delicious on its own, the highlight of the meal were actually the side dishes - they were some of the tastiest side dishes I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. Each was full of flavour and fresh, and tasted home-cooked. Our server was friendly and attentive and was quick to refill our side-dishes and waters. One of the servers also gave us some japchae (as service) which was such a pleasant surprise and was soo tasty! Fingers crossed Korilla will expand to Toronto!

When my parents were visiting, we did some shopping at the TOPS Supermarket that's just off 16th…read moreavenue on center street NW. After browsing on my own, I found my dad but my mom was no-where to be seen. Shortly after, we discovered that she walked down the street to BBQ Express - I didn't even know this place existed and apparently my mom, who hardly ever comes to Calgary knew it existed - she must have had those BBQ duck senses.. Anyways, they are right next to a Vietnamese place and there's a parking lot available. It is exactly what their name is "Bbq express" - they offer BBQ Pork, BBQ Duck, Soya Chicken, Sausage, BBQ ribs, and even Roasted pig's head if you order in advance. When you enter, it smells amazing - delicious Chinese BBQ aroma. You can see all the meats through a glass shield where they are hanging. They only do takeout and only take cash. My mom had ordered half BBQ duck and a pound and a half of BBQ pork. You can select which hanging meat you want to be cut from. The duck is chopped into small pieces and I'm not sure if they cut the BBQ pork but we did ask for it to be cut as well, they also pour some sauce on the BBQ pork. Both orders filled a decent size styrofoam container and you are given a bag of soya sauce, duck sauce and some packets of plum sauce. When we got home, we put on a pot of rice and cooked up some vegetables to go with our protein. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM fresh rice with BBQ duck and pork is one of my favorite combos!! I especially love duck with plum sauce, DROOOLLLLL. The BBQ duck was really good...tender and fatty with a slight crisp on the skin, the BBQ pork was good too, a little tougher but still really tasty, the fatty parts are the best. BBQ Express is a really great place - if you want some reasonably priced delicious Chinese BBQ meats, this is the place to hit up! What a gem of a place if you need to pick up something to bring to a pot luck or if you want to pick up something for lunch/dinner that is quick and tasty. They offer a lunch box special until 3pm(?) which is any two meats with rice, duck is an additional cost because it's so darn good. They are open every day from 10am - 7PM except they are closed on Tuesdays. I can't stop thinking about the BBQ meats here, must go ASAP!!!!

Inflation - 1 lb of Roast pork cost $16.90. It was under $12 few months ago. Quality is good, but…read moreIll have to goto bigger stores for better prices.
