I used to always come during the lunch week day special and their pork is very good and flavorful, sometimes some of the dishes from the counter are not so hot anymore tho. Also is there no more lunch special on weekdays at all or is it just temporary?
What guests say about Sota
Sota receives mixed reviews: several customers like the all-you-can-eat buffet, the meat, and the fast service when everything goes well. However, many comments mention slow or poorly organized service, missing or mixed-up orders, and problems with the welcome and communication. A few customers also raise concerns about cleanliness, tipping instructions, and payment options. Overall, it may be worth trying for the food, but the experience varies a lot from one visit to the next.

I’ve given a five star before, however, I really didn’t like the slow and neglectful service tonight! I didn’t give as much tip as I always do. The waitress stopped me asking literally asking in a very rude way why the tip is that much. I go like I didn’t enjoy the service and she gives side eyes in a way that I paid an extra 18 dollars on top of my tip again! Like what? The tip is based on my experience not something mandatory to stop the customer for it (I was so happy with the good and had a great night with my family and friends prior to this attitude!!!!). Please talk to your waitress about this because it was so so so rude (I didn’t want to make her night awful so I just paid more and left but I’ll never go back because it ruined up my whole experience even though I like their food).
Slow service🙄
Food was good and so was the lychee martini but I found myself ordering multiple times and the food was taking a great amount of time. Some of the orders were also mixed Up. They only accept credit card. And cash. Not debit or Apple Pay which I was not prepared for and was inconvenient for me. Ok place for a first time try. but there are other all you can eat Korean places right across
AYCE, AYCD (soda), food options is ok, meat good, can be very loud, the service was on touch! Wouldn't go back personally but I still recommend, the music on the background was really faint
Overall, worth the price. It’s an all-you-can-eat restaurant with a good selection of meats, side dishes, and free refill sodas. I love the Icecream It didn’t melt fast. However, the service needs improvement in terms of speed and organization. Many of my orders never arrived, and even the slices of raw meats took a long time to be served.
I had a great expérience. The food is honestly one of the best I’ve had in Montreal—everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. You can really taste the quality. The only small downside was the service, which was a bit slow at times. However, the staff were still friendly and polite, so it didn’t ruin the overall experience. I would definitely come back again for the amazing food!
Better seating for tables of 2/ taller people. Aside from that great portions, great quality of meats and sides!
The meat was tasty but the sushi was really disappointing.
Very good food and friendly service
Really good food and really good service
Really fast and good service. The meat is really good, the sushis just okay. I would come back.
I made a reservation for a group dinner with my friends on a weekday afternoon, and it turned out to be a great choice. We opted for the all-you-can-eat dinner menu, which was affordable—especially since drinks were already included. The atmosphere was really pleasant and relaxed, as it wasn’t too crowded, making it perfect for catching up and enjoying each other’s company. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience that I would definitely recommend for group gatherings.
Sai is very good service
We had a great experience @Sota - we reserved for a group of 10 for a friend's birthday, they adjusted the reservation twice according to our demands, they were extremely patient with people from our party that arrived late and we just had an amazing service from the staff overall. Extremely friendly & super patient, brought us water when needed super quickly. You can tell they were swamped & busy but always smiling & polite with us. A big 10/10, it is very rare to see hardworking staff, we had all the reasons to be an "unpleasant" group given some of us were late but they were extremely understanding.
This is the second time I've been to this restaurant and we love it. Great place and great atmosphere, the food and attention from the personnel is grat.
Sushi was bland and didn’t have many options. The waiter was struggling to speak clearly. Overall the quality of the food was just not there.
Honestly one of the best AYCE KBBQ in Montreal. You should come here in the evening for their evening menu but the lunch is just as good as well! All you can drink sodas come with the menu!
Food was good. Service was great from Sai, he explained everything and was very polite.
One of the best eat all you can Korean BBQ in montreal. Variety of foods to choose from in an affordable price. I love the ice cream especially the red bean and green tea. Generous cut of beef steak. The calamari and octopus tail are great. There are just some missing on orders, and take some time to receive. Soup is serve in small bowl. But over all we love the place, surely we will visit again soon.
The food is great. The service was fast and it was a good experience.
A girl wearing glasses and looking very pretty served very well. The other men almost remained standing still. When they were serving table, they had no smiles at all, except for the girl who would smile while serving. BTW She smiled so cote. Just one second after my chopsticks dropped, she appeared and gave me new chopsticks. Unfortunately, when I asked her ig, she told me that she already had a boyfriend. She was not only an excellent waitress but also an excellent girlfriend.
bad service
Amazing food! Quick service!!
I’ve eaten here twice, and unfortunately I had digestive issues after both visits. This may be coincidental, but it was concerning enough for me. Service was okay, but I don’t think I’ll come back.
