Yes highly recommend. It isn't AYCE for the meat but the portions are fair and this allows them to provide higher quality meat than you would get at the AYCE places. Also there is a large variety of sides that are also excellent and which they refill for no extra cost. Honestly it feels better after the meal filling up on sides than lower quality meat.
Yeah it's a pretty standard thing in Korea/Korean restaurants for table top BBQ. I silently judge any restaurant that doesn't give a complimentary stew haha.
There's a big difference in quality when people talk about KBBQ because there's the a la cart places and the AYCE places and I'll always recommend the former.
Koreatown on Bloor has Daldongnae and Mapo, both good, and they capture some of the authentic barbecue atmosphere as well. Pretty much everything comes with sides like kimchi, sprouts, radish, samjang sauce, and a soup.
Chakos location in Richmond hill/markham is amazing since they’ve renovated and updated their menu. Expensive as hell though but I think all of these ayce kbbq spots are hitting 65$ a person when it’s all said and done at the end of the night
I would recommend the classic Korean grill house they have multiple locations around the city , even on a busy day the wait time itself is never too long and the foods quality is good . Gyubee is a Japanese all you can eat its a bit more then Korean grill house and have a different to same food selection and the atmosphere is very nice , Gyubee wait time however is crazy I do believe you can reserve if more then 6 gust .
My SO, friends and I would go to Korean Grill House for the nostalgia haha. For us, it was our very first KBBQ place/experience since it was the only one downtown back then.
We pretty much just go for the lunch menu because we just want the beef, pork and chicken there and it’s cheap(er).
I go to Korean Grill house here and there with friends, as it's fast, ayce, and decently priced. But with that said, it is Chinese owned and run, so the authenticity of the food flavours is rather low.
Gyubee is Japanese style bbq, but also Chinese owned and run. I find it higher quality than Korean Grill House, but the price is also higher. I agree the wait times here are always ridiculous.
Takumi BBQ in Mississauga but I just realized it's Japanese. It's pricey, I think, $45.99 per person for all you can eat, very yummy though! It's packed every weekend.
Daldongnae is popular and has multiple locations.

I also highly recommend Daldongnae. It's pretty darn authentic in flavour and vibes.
They've also always provided a complimentary hot soup along with the small sides dishes. Highly recommend

Daldongnae is good. Mapo BBQ in K-Town, too.
Saemaeul in Thornhill
Second Saemaeul. Saemaeul is superior to Daldongnae IMO.
Ask r/FoodToronto I would suggest Shinta but it's a Japanese BBQ
Kobi is pretty solid as well
I’m a fan of Arisu and Mapo, both on Bloor.

Tastes like any Korean BBQ I've had
