We’ve been there many times, everything was great, but we were unlucky to be served twice in a row by a waitress (forgot her name but it was definitely not Lee) who was quite mean and cold, along with not giving a great service. We really liked the food but we’ll most likely not take that chance again.

The food is amazing and this place is always vibing! Kim was very helpful and professional, when we accidentally ordered the wrong item on the menu, Kim helped us solve the problem right away. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I’ve always considered this restaurant an amazing place, and it has been one of our go-to spots for celebrating important occasions. In the past, everything has been excellent. However, during today, I felt quite uncomfortable with the service. I had to pay for parking, and from the time we parked until we had only just finished our meal, it had been only 1 hour and 10 minutes. Despite this, the server rushed us to pay while my friend was still in the middle of eating, which I found unacceptable. Additionally, throughout the meal, we felt ignored. Even when we asked for assistance, it was difficult to get the server’s attention. This lack of attentiveness made the overall experience disappointing. After the meal, I still chose to leave a tip out of respect for the kitchen team. However, I do not feel that the level of service we received reflected the standard that would normally justify it. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing service experiences I’ve had.

Worst service we’ve ever experienced! The employees didn’t respond when we greeted them or even when they asked us questions, they simply turned away right after we answered. We only asked for a banchan refill once, which seems completely reasonable, but they appeared annoyed and ignored us for the rest of the meal. We finished eating in about an hour, and while I was still chewing, the server started clearing everything off the table without asking and then rushed us to pay, even though it was only 8 pm. We felt pressured to leave. It’s disappointing because we used to come here every month for Korean BBQ for the meat quality. It was one of our go to spots for gatherings and celebrations, but the service has consistently gone down each time we’ve visited.

An amazing, authentic Korean barbecue spot in the center of downtown Montreal! Daldongnae has very high quality meats and lots of unlimited banchan to enjoy while you feast. Keep in mind that you do have to cook your own meats, but the servers are still very attentive if you need anything. The seafood pancake here was also quite tasty—crispy and filled with a variety of ingredients. If you’re craving a classic Korean meat marathon, definitely check out Daldongnae!

Had a really great experience at Daldongnae Korean BBQ in Montreal. The quality of the meat definitely stood out compared to other Korean BBQ spots I’ve tried. The service was also excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and quick to help without being overbearing, which made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. There’s a minimum order of one meat per person. Would definitely come back!

Overall a tasty and fun place for dinner! As a pescatarian, I greatly enjoyed the shrimps, eggs and corn-cheese. The side dishes are very varied, tasted authentic, and were nicely spiced. The sauces are flavourful yet light which is wonderful. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have a bit more seafood options, perhaps calamari as another option for grilling. Great vibes and they have a pull-down grill ventilator to get most of the grilling smoke out!

We came here as last resort since the other bbq shops were full but we're surprised at how good this place is. This is like the staple of kbbq in canada, everyone knows this place. We ordered 2 types of meat (1 pork, 1 beef) and it came with so many other side dishes and soup. The layout of the grill is so unique, with very delicious egg stew and cheese and corn. The soybean paste stew was also amazing as it paired well with the meats. They gave us a bit of lettuce but I wish they gave us more. Sauces were provided too. Overall would definitely come back here.

Everything was great! The staff was really sweet. One of the servers accidentally dropped some dishes on the table but he offered us free drinks to make up for it. I've been here multiple times already and the experience is always amazing:)

Great food at great prices. Don’t be shy to eat somewhere that charges for food per portion. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the meats. Save the rice and the sides and go straight for the kbbq!

Tried it for the first time last weekend. Waiters provide quick service. The banchan are delicious. The alcohol is great, the popsicle cocktail is a genius idea. Also, pretty irrelevant, but was very happy to hear Ateez playing😁

Honestly, the place was beautiful and cozy. I had a really interesting culinary experience and got to try dishes I’d never had before. I never expected to like a cucumber salad so much, I did my research and it’s called Oi muchim (Well that sure was good!) The only downside was that it was a bit pricey, and by the end, I was still a little hungry, lol. My friend was full though, so I guess it really depends on the person… we ended up stopping at McDonald’s after, just for me😅 Side note: I tried the beef tartare, and it wasn’t really for me. I usually like tartare, but this one felt almost frozen — not sure if it’s supposed to be that way.
