Things have changed here since Covic. No longer bottomless come. Liver and tongue are off the menu Chicken no longer comes as nice pieces of chicken...now it's tiny bits of chicken. The service is still good. read more

Korean Grill House - Chicken new format at Korea Grill House - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Korean Grill House chain has existed for a long time. I would recommend going for the weekday lunch special which is $8 and includes a bento box (protein choice of chicken/pork/beef +$2), miso soup, and pop. Note that recently the pop has been replaced by "free jasmine tea", which is what they normally served anyways even with the pop. It was a better deal when the pop was included! Service is a little slow as they are normally short staffed. For the lunch special, they automatically add a service charge on the bill. I am not sure if they do it for the all-you-can-eat option but I would assume so. read more

Chicken is cooked and seasoned perfectly. The price is good for the portions that they give to you. It comes with 2 sides and a soup. read more

Calling it mid would be too nice. I've never seen a Korean bbq menu with so little variety. Service also had you constantly filling out pieces of paper to place your order like we're in the dark ages or something. How hilariously antiquated. Also, an hour and a half to eat all I want is short. I'm a fat ass, at least give me two hours like most Korean bbq places do. This was the first time I left a Korean bbq restaurant and I was still hungry. Banchan was also stupidly short of remotely passable. The kimchi looked brown and wilted and it wasn't the sauce it was covered in that made it look that way. I didn't think it was possible but this place made me miss Gen, the United States McDonald's of Korean bbq which also sucks. I guess it's a good thing there was a somewhat passable alcohol selection here. Because that's the only way you can truly genuinely enjoy this food. Drunk. read more

I work near Koreatown Los Angeles, this is by far the worst tasting Korean I've had, kimchi had no flavor, the veggies looked like they've been in the fridge since last night, and the service none existent. read more

There are Korean Grill locations all over Toronto, but I guess Covid hit this AYCE joint pretty bad because now there are only 4 locations left. This location at John and Queen has been standing ever since I was in uni, many many many years ago. It looks like there's a fresh coat of paint, but no drastic renos have been done in the last decade. But you don't come here for the decor or for a fine dining experience - this is Korean grill, where you get your meat sweats on! We drove downtown on a Sunday just as the Jays game was about to begin. Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 young kids) were seated at a table for 6 with 2 grills at our disposable. Sunday pricing is $21.99 for adults, $11.99 for kids ages 4-11. The lunch menu is limited, but it was enough for us. There's calamari rings, fish (I want to say basa/white fish), beef, pork, chicken, rice, beef broth, pickled radish, kimchee (not that good), tofu (I really like this one), bean sprouts, spicy bean sprouts (my hubby's favourite). They do have an all day menu at a higher price point that includes more items like beef ribs, sausage, salmon, lamb, shrimp, mussel, lettuce, mushroom and pineapple (adult $35.99 Fri-Sun). The meats are seasoned well (you can also dip the meat in a sweet soya sauce that they have at each table) and are sliced super thin to cut down on the cooking time. The beef and pork slices cook within minutes. The chicken was a hit with my fam, it has a slight curry flavour. The rice is hot and fluffy, almost like the Japanese sushi rice. I like the beef broth to wet my palette as I consume copious amounts of meat. I like eating the pickled radish as it cuts the charcoal flavour of the meats. Calamari can be a bit chewy if you over cook it. The white fish is very nice, but make sure your cook it on a clean surface as it does tend to stick to the grill. Today the fish fillets were a nice big and thick cut, only 2 pieces can fit in the square tray that the food is served in. Overall, my family had a fun time cooking their own food. My kids ate their fill. We all left with our tummies filled to the max! read more

It was okay. There definitely are way better KBBQ AYCE spots. Meats were limited and not explained well. What cut, what flavor profile, why does the lamb, chicken, pork and beef all taste the same. Service was good and fast. Order from your phone via a QR code. They delivered stuff real quick which was nice. I think I would try other spots before coming back here again. read more

MUST TRY, the fresh meat and vegetables and food they have there for you to eat is AMAZING. We went with a group of 5 people for a birthday Charles made the birthday girl feel so welcomed! Thank you Korean Grill staff read more

Good Korean BBQ place with non-meat options including salmon and vegetables. Ambience is casual.

I've never had a bad meal here. Korean Grill House is always my first stop when visiting Toronto from San Francisco. The lunch options are slightly different from dinner. The AYCE options are varied, the meat cuts are decent and I always feel like I get great value for what I pay for. On the other hand, I do wish their menu had more beer options: they do have Sapporo, which is my go-to. Pitcher sizes are available as well. The waiters are always polite and helpful; grill changes are always on-request so don't hesitate to ask. The ambiance is not much to write home about, I do appreciate that it's not super packed, at least not the times that I've gone in with my partner. Also, free ice cream scoop after dinner! Nice way to top off a meat heavy feast! Tips are also included in the bill and they're transparent about it. read more

I called for a reservation at 530 pm and was told none was needed. Just walk in. So we proceeded to head there and there was a lineup at 530. When we got to the front of the line after about 10 minutes I was told that at he was serving the people with a reservation first.... Lol. I told him I wanted to make one but was told not to... Anyways we get seated after another 10 min wait near the window and quickly given directions on how to order. The Korean menu is small, a few meats and Veggies and a few set dishes. The meats come preseasoned and they give you a soy sauce bottle. We ordered 2 of everything on the menu, portions were decent so don't go order crazy like other AYCE places. The pickled radish was good, Kim Chee was not, potatoes were spicy and not good, bean sprouts weren't fresh. Beef and short rib were a little salty but flavourful. The chicken was probably the best dish by far. Was not impressed with the pork. When we got the bill for two people, it was 13% service charge and two charges of HST 5% and 3% on top. Not sure how that works but I just paid it and left. Bill was $94 with a coke.. Would I go back? No. 2.5/5 read more

Not my favourite KBBQ place but it's fine for what it is - place was packed so servers didn't talk to us. Kimchi was brown and meat was also not super fresh looking. Ordered lunch all you can eat, selection was minimal but makes sense for price. You definitely need to go to GTA for better KBBQ options. read more

Was in Toronto a few weeks back and went to get some Korean bbq with my family. I love Korean bbq it is always so good, and I didn't disappoint. They offer all sorts of meat and veggies for you to cook. I recommend getting the all you can eat. The service was not great. They were extremely pushy on what you should order. If you enjoy Korean bbq I would recommend this place. read more

This is the second time I have been here. The first time was way before COVID. It was very busy when I went to dinner with my friend but we got seated right away since it was just us 2 and a table for 2 freed up as soon as we got there. There are more seatings upstairs I believe. It is all you can eat but the menu is very very limited and it is just regular bbq, not Korean bbq. I remember it having more selections pre COVID but I could be wrong. There wasn't much choice if you want sauce. I wanted the red pepper paste but they only had red chili oil so I used that. There are side dishes. We mainly ordered beef, ribs, and squid. The pork belly was really thin so after you grilled it, it is like hard. Fast and friendly service. read more

With the numerous locations, Korean Grill House is a solid option for Korean BBQ. Price: The prices are average for Korean BBQ. Dinner is $23.99/person for Monday - Thursday and $24.99/person for Friday - Sundays. Lunch is $6 cheaper but they don't have the beef ribs, sausage, ox liver and salmon. The only add-ons I have gotten was the vegetable add-on. It's definitely worth it to cleanse the palette from the taste and texture of the grilled meats with some vegetables. Each person (if you're with a group) has to order the vegetable add-on. Service: The restaurant was busy so its imperative that you wave someone down to the your order, drink refills and grill changes. The food does come fairly fast after you've ordered it. Food: Food here is good. You aren't getting the highest quality of meats but it's decent for what you pay. I enjoy the side dishes that you can order; tofu, spicy and normal bean sprouts and kimchi. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is nice. I enjoy the sleek interior of the restaurant and it doesn't get too smoky from all the grills in the restaurant. read more

After a long flight back to Toronto, a flat tire on the way back from the airport and that's enough to stop me from cooking (lol cooking) So me and my girlfriend decided to check this place out after remembering how good it looked during a emergency post bar bathroom trip and it did not disappoint! The concept is you get your own little fire pit in the middle of the table to cook your food in (I guess I did cook, huh) and then it's all you can eat on meats, fish, veg and rice. The food all together was very good and the beef was excellent, really good cuts and not just cheap meat like you can get at AYCE places. Definitely worth trying as it was a lot of fun too! PS - cheap beer!! read more

Korean Grill House - Potato, beef and the pit - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I dined at this Korean restaurant into the late evening. It was not that busy. It is located on the busy Queen Street West strip. There were lots of empty seats during my visit. The overall décor was what you would expect at any Asian restaurant. Lighting was too poor. Washroom was in the basement which is typical. Overall service was alright and could have been alittle faster given the empty seats in the restaurant. The prices were comparable to any downtown Asian restaurant. You also have the choice of cooking your meats at the table. There is a special to have refills of Coca Cola which is almost the same price for a regular can of coke. Thanks to this restaurant for giving us refills at the price of a can of coke. It was appreciated. Entrée: Chicken Bibimbap - spicy level *Two large spring rolls with excellent dipping sauce. It was piping hot since they had to defrost it. It consisted of the regular suspects of noodles, carrots etc. *Lots of corn *Brown rice fried rice with some green and sauces. It was alittle bland but came very piping hot. *Pieces of chicken- too little pieces for my liking. Overall, I think I will visit this restaurant again but choose some other options on their menu. read more

Overall: 4 Delicious! We did the all-you-can eat, $36 on weekends. We recommend the beef (9/10) & beef ribs (11/10). They provided ice cream at the end, helps to wrap up the savory portion of the meal. Cons: bottle of soju was $21, my stomach spoke instead of my brain, the price is crazy. Our burner was never changed, adding *flavor* not all of us expected. Very strict with the one hour and 30 minute seating policy, instead of our third ticket, we got the dessert and the check. Not to mention, two and a half mushrooms (one small mushroom cut into three slices), one lettuce, one pineapple (what a crime to only have one), and small appetizers. read more

It's worth the wait !!! Wonderful ambiance and the service was excellent. Khem was very quick in his service.

I was walking by the Queen St W location and saw the specials advertised on the front window. The deals looked pretty good to me so I went in. I got the BBQ pork with rice. It comes with two sides: kim chee and pickled white radish. It was pretty good value for $6.00 with tax included. There was decent amount of meat. They are also selling raw marinated meats by the pound. read more

It's not the first time I come here for korean bbq. The price is pretty reasonable for all you can eat meat (chicken, beef, pork, liver, squid, salmon...$16.99). It usually comes with water, but don't mind to pay extra for coke, iced tea or prune juice (free refill yay!). The staffs are friendly and quick. If you ask them to change the stove they will do it right away. Try to eat the meat with radish or kimchi if you start to feel sick from the oil. Not my number one choice for bbq but I will love to come back here because the price is pretty good. I don't know if you notice but the second round you order, the meat will be saltier than the first one. It makes you want to drink more and get full quick. A good trick: order soup that includes in the ayce menu, then dip the meat (grilled) in there for 2 or 3 seconds. Don't worry, it's still very tasty ! read more

This place is okay. Good location, decent service, full variety of meats for KBBQ, and it's pretty clean. However, from the moment you hand in your first order sheet, you are timed 90 minutes to complete your AYCE. I'm trying to be relaxed and have a good meal with friends, not to be in a rush to stuff my face!!! Also, vegetables are an extra $3 on top of the AYCE price. Anyways, I wasn't hungry enough to get AYCE so I opted for chicken bibimbap. It's such a standard korean dish, you can't mess it up right? WRONG. I basically got fried rice with chicken, egg and cabbage in a hot stone bowl. Just look at my picture - does that look like bibimbap to you??? Yeah no. Definitely come here with a group reservation for KBBQ but don't venture out to try any of their other menu items... read more

Korean Grill House - "All you can eat" Menu - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We ended up in the restaurant beside the grill house. They still own it, but I think if you're doing a la cart, that's where they send you. I ordered the Green Curry chicken. The service was great, the meal was yummy, can't complain. I wouldn't say it stands out in comparison to the other gazillion restaurants in the area, but it's worth the money you pay for. The green curry chicken was a it spicy. If you have a medium tolerance, this is just right. I gave it a 4 because of the good service and the good food, but I'd probably only go back here again if I'm out late. It's basically not my first choice of restaurant, but I don't mind ending up here. read more

Coming from out of town, we wanted to try a new Korean bbq joint in Toronto. Me and my group of friends decided on this place due to its decent ratings and convenient location in downtown. Although the place was getting pack, we (group of 7 people) were able to be seated right away. The workers were very nice, and our food came out pretty quick except for the pork bone stew. Despite the food portion being quite generous and the price being moderately fair, the food was just not tasty or good... the bulgogi and kalbi for bbq lacked seasoning, the pork belly was very chewy, their beef sizzling plate with rice was a little too peppery and their 'bibimbap' lacked veggies and sauce. On top of that, their sauces were limited to chilli oil and diluted soy sauce. So, while the service is good, the food is a hard pass. I honestly don't understand how people raved about this place, I wouldn't recommend. read more

I came for a work outing and was quite happy with experience. It's all you can eat, I know there are places with much higher quality food, but this place was wonderful bang for the buck. We got the regular combo with lamb and shrimp. I recommend not getting the lamb and shrimp combo, since the lamb was just meh compared to their other proteins and the shrimp was quite bad quality. My favorite is the chicken and beef short ribs. You can taste the meat tenderizer and MSG on the food, but I didn't mind it. Their side dishes were nice as well, I love the tofu and bean sprouts. Service was prompt and friendly, but they could use some extra servers. Our taller people found the seats quite right and uncomfortable, but seems too be limited to big tables only. The tables of 2 look perfectly ok. Overall, I would recommend for a budget friendly Korean BBQ experience. read more

Really disappointed. They used to be the original and my faves. But now the meat just is not fresh, the pricing is so expensive compared to the quality. The meat is still marinated in the same flavours as before which taste good but the cleanliness of this restaurant is also very bad. Service is difficult to deal with as well. You have to request same items or drinks 10x with sometimes even the same waiter before they bring it. Which could be half the duration of time you are cooking / eating. I would not recommend spending your $$$ here but rather at Gyubee. Even they offer dessert on their menu too without additional charge. read more

Great place for late night food if you're craving meat. $23.99 on Friday evening is pretty decent for AYCE. Restaurant was crowded, but clean. Service was quick and courteous. Portions were small for each order, but since its AYCE, just order more. Will definitely return. read more

The first time I came here was twelve years ago when my friends surprised me with a birthday cake with sparklers which activated the fire alarm. Firetrucks came and we were so scared that we would have to pay. They did ask for ID, and our only form of ID was our TTC student passes. Fortunately, we never had to pay for the false fire alarm. I came again recently for a friends birthday. We each ordered the all you can eat meat with liver, salmon, ribs, beef, fish fillet, chicken, and pork. The beef shank was not the best cut, but it was very well marinated. The other meat dishes were ok. The salmon was bland, and I would recommend you dip it or cook it with the table sauce. The side dishes (bean sprouts, tofu, spicy bean sprouts) were tasteless and I stopped myself at half a side dish. I would recommend this place if you are a big carnivore and have a big appetite. Definitely avoid if you're vegetarian and choose the vegetarian pho place across the street. Remember to ask for your grill to be changed after it starts getting charred. Restaurant staff were very strict on the 90 minute eating time. read more

As someone born and raised in Atlanta, GA this KBBQ place was not anything close to what I imagined. My friends and I were on a trip to Toronto for a long weekend and were craving an AYCE meat place so we found this place hoping that is could satisfy our needs. Firstly, I would like to say this is a very Chinese styled KBBQ. I do not know why they advertise as a "Korean Grill House," but starting from the meat to the side dishes, nothing was Korean about this place. Some of the beef dishes were over marinated and I found it ridiculous that everything even to the vegetables were charged when typically at Korean BBQ joints, vegetables are given with also sides of eggs and corn cheese. I will not be visiting this place again. For those of you who are Korean and looking for a KBBQ place, this is not the place to go. read more

I remember the early days of Korean Grill House. It seemed like the best thing ever at the time ...and then I got interested to the likes of authentic Korean or japanese bbq, and this restaurant is just not the same anymore. They have a basic variety of meats from years ago like short ribs, beef, pork, and seafood, but the dishes looked so sad when they arrived because of how thinly sliced they were. The strong marinated flavour was still there so I did appreciate the flavour and of course the all you can eat aspect. I also didn't realize how much I missed that tangy plum juice that goes so well with korean bbq. Service was average and they were quick to change the grill when asked. I don't recommend getting any of the fish, it sticks to the grill like crazy which ends up having you to change it often because the meat burns right on to it. Overall, good nostalgic memories here, but I rather pay a little extra for better quality meat and experience at other places. Don't get me wrong, it's still great for a quick bite with friends if you wanna pay just cheap out on some average bbq. read more

I wasn't expecting a traditional Korean Barbecue experience, but... No Korean beer. We went for lunch all you can eat, but apparently that doesn't include lettuce. Had I been informed that the difference between the all day price and the lunch price was not just the fewer meat selections, but also not lettuce, I would have ordered the all day price. Now when I requested lettuce, the waiter informed me that there was a "vegetable selection" I could order which included lettuce, onions (standard and expected)...mushrooms (okay) and pineapple slices (what?!?). 9 dollars. Fine. What I was presented with was 6 small inner Romaine leaves and a couple outer leaves, onions, mushrooms and 4 large slices of pineapple. Later in the meal when I asked for more lettuce, I was informed I would have to pay another $9! Seriously, for lettuce...a typical and traditional part of this type of meal. This decision came from the manager. The meat was fine, the rice was cold and dry, the side dishes were scanty and uninspiring. I left behind the pile of pineapple. This restaurant is designed for the tourist who doesn't have experience with Korean food and wants something not too scary. It doesn't conform to the traditional Korean hospitality where the table is covered in dishes and the owners are urging you to eat more. Korean grandmothers are spinning in their graves. read more

Mediocre all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. It's still good tasting food (although quite salty) because it's just meat marinated with sweet teriyaki sauce. I particularly liked the pork, chicken, & beef. Calamari was really chewy and bland, while the fish wasn't too fresh. Loved the sweet radish appetizer dish. While the Bean sprouts looked limp. read more

Love this place, although the service may lack at times it is AYCE with table service, so I do not have to get up and navigate through a horde of people to get the food I want. And the food I want here is everything on the menu, you can have short ribs,pork, fish and poultry oh my! But the plus for me this time my party ordered the steak fried rice, imagine my surprise when the rice had actual strips of steak in it. But the succulent pork is an amazing cut, it compliments the short ribs and rice very well. This is definitely a good place to go on a first date or any outing that you want to talk to your dining partner. This place is intimate but still really good for larger groups. Just make sure some one in your party knows how to cook, that aside this place is an amazing experience. read more

If you are downtown & going to see a movie at Scotiabank Theatre, this is the nearest location to have an AYCE Korean BBQ "burn it yourself" dinner. As a family we are carnivores and happy to order 2 kinds of beef including kalbi, chicken, fish, shrimp, pork bellies, and lamb, plus a $3.00 veggie grill of pineapple slices, mushrooms, onions, cucumbers on a bed of lettuce. We also ordered 2 pitchers of ice water and lime soda to keep us hydrated. This came with the usual little dishes of bean sprouts, kimchee, daikon radish, celery and soy sauce and sesame seeds for dipping. They are now also offering top your own waffles as a dessert offering. However we 3 ladies stuffed ourselves so much on grilled meats that we didn't have room for dessert. It was a good choice for a Good Friday dinner when many of the restaurants and cafes had closed early for the holiday. read more
