It's quite misleading as the company is called Korean Grill House and looks very fusion-esque, whereas the sign on this one says "Korean BBQ Restaurant" and looks more localized.
As for drinks (all you can drink), they offered soy bean milk (which I liked) as well as prune juice, for those who fancy it. It's fun to trick people into thinking it's iced tea. :)
PROS
- It's inexpensive and worth it esp for the quality of food offered.
- Service was prompt
- Sauce was delicious - sweet and salty
CONS
- VERY limited selection of BBQ items. Must add $3.99 for vegetables, and another $3.99 for Shrimp
- Menus were sticky. ew.
- No dessert...
I didn't give it 4 stars because I'm not a fan of KBBQ in general. If you are though, you should definitely try this place out. Oh, and I docked another star for the limited selection of food. I would come again if I ever have a carnivorous craving for meat. -

Review from Myrem D.

This is an authentic Korean BBQ spot in Markham. Up late (3am) and hungry? Welcome to Korean Grill House, where you walk in hungry and walk out letting the whole world know you what you had. =_=
The restaurant is large , able to seat around 100 people easily.
It's almost always busy , so be prepared to wait. If you are in the area, be sure to call ahead and reserve a table.
The service is fast but very difficult to recognize which staff member is actually a server and which one is the buss-boy and/or hostess. They all act like they are electrically charged Prozac poppers.
The menu for all you can eat buffet ($10)is only available after 10pm. If you happen to be here at 9:55pm, they won't serve you... literally until AFTER 10:01 pm. Lame.
The buffet includes unlimited veggies, fish, chicken and beef
you can also order a pitcher of a drink with unlimited refills.
Don't expect the best quality of food. It says "unlimited".
Over all, this is an excellent place to come with groups of people for cheap Saki and grilled marinated Korean meat. Even if you have to wait for a table (which is max 30minutes), there's an old arcade with tekken 4 and street fighter on the right and a bubble T place to the left. How could you go wrong?
Fun fact: It so happened that I was sitting elbow to elbow with Shane Warren Kippel from Degrassi. He was having dinner with his dad. I couldn't care less for him....until I noticed his ink. The kid has arms covered with tats. Sexy. He now has my vote. ;)

Okay, going to keep this short.
Was here last night. Usually we go to "Chako" down the street but my girlfriend and I wanted to change things up. For me, I've been hear multiple times plus multiple franchise. I usually prefer "Chako" cause of fresh food, decor, and service. This Korean grill is a hole in a wall but you'll get your money's worth. Why it's always busy!
Price for adult is $16.95 for all meats (lamb, beef, beef rib, shrimp, pork, chicken, ox tongue and liver, salmon, squid, and white fish), standard rice, Korean sides, and soup. What men usually want. Hence its mostly guys inside. We added an additional $2.00 for vegetables but STAY AWAY! Not worth it. Comes with cucumber, lettuce, Green pepper, mushroom, onion, pineapple, and etc. The pineapple was from the can (nothing compared to Chako's pineapple that I LOVE). Mushroom was tiny. Funny that there's lettuce. Why would you BBQ that is a surprise. We ordered a pitcher of Sapporo for $20, which is cheap for premium and wasn't water down.
One thing for sure...if you're here for cheap, tasty, and bang for your money...This is the place.
Sometimes my girlfriend and I just want to be guys and have beer and meat! -

One of the older Korean style ayce BBQ places in the city. I remember coming here often when ayce BBQ was slim pickings. With so many options now I find it lacking.
They certainly have a good selection of starters and meat to grill, but I find the quality of the meat sub-par. I prefer to go to an a la cart BBQ or another ayce.
Also, when we got the bill they did not bring our change back. We sat there 5 minutes waiting and eventually had to ask for our change. Sure the change could have been an entire tip, but isn't it my choice to leave how much I feel is appropriate? It was a weekday so it wasn't busy and the waiters did stare at us while we waited for the change so there was no excuse.
They were lucky I felt kind and still left them a tip (15%). I should have left one penny out of spite for them not returning my change. -

the portion for all you can eat, very small.
and the meat has been marinated with tooonnns of salt.
I think I have eat my sodium allowance for the whole week.
they are using a cheap cut meat, because if you see the beef/pork when you cook it, it just way too much muscle or fat. I hardly can eat the short ribs, because it have 80% fat vs the actual meat.
also the kimchi has more oil than kimchi
I guess I have to find other korean restaurant. -

Not the greatest Korean BBQ place but definitely the best for late nights. After 10 p.m. you can get their late night all you can eat menu for under $10! And unlimited drinks for a couple dollars more.
The place is usually half empty, service is pretty slow and the food isn't amazing but if you're coming back from a party or just have those late night grease cravings, head over here and get your fill for cheap. -

Thank goodness for pictures... I had trouble looking for the profile for this place located in a local mall since I didn't actually have any idea where my friends took me, but the business front photo taken by Jennifer K. seems to match that of my own.
Based on the sign on the storefront, I would say this place was called Korean BBQ Restaurant. However, based on the menus provided inside, I'd say an alternative name would be Korean Grill House.
Well, whatever you call it, it is basically an all you can eat grill your own Korean food spot. There were two BBQ menus available for dinner - the $13.95 version included pork, beef, chicken, beef ribs, ox tongue, ox liver, salmon, squid, fish fillet and unmentioned portuguese sausage, while the $16.95 version added lamb and shrimp to the basic menu. Six banchan dishes, rice, and soup accompanied the servings of raw meats to the table. For lunch time or late night you get a more basic selection of meats for $8.99.
For an additional $2 or so per person (it was all or nothing!) we were able to enjoy unlimited select drinks (soda, plum, ice tea, cold soy milk), of which pitchers were delivered to the table.
The tongue was rather tough when grilled, and the cooked fish threatened to fall apart on the grill. Personally, I enjoyed the flavor of the tender sausage, but agree with a friend that it wasn't particularly meaty in texture. Everything else was okay, with the exception of the liver... but hey, I'm not a liver kind of girl. Still, so easy to stuff yourself!
Bathrooms are located by the entrance, and are simply marked with the symbol for male and female... too bad I couldn't remember which was which. Good thing two staff members taking their breaks on the nearby bench was able to point me to the right one, which happens to be the one on the right. -

Not Very Good.
I LOVE KOREAN BBQ!
But maybe it's because they are all downtown Toronto and are in "hip/trendy" locations.
Personally I did not like this one at all.
The food is all the same- all you can eat pork,ribs,beef,fish ect..
But the restaurant is so big it feels like you are in a cafeteria in highschool. So many tables, too many people, very loud, not enough servers.
People were litterally sticking their hands in the air to get servers attentions!
Downtown it is free refills of almost everything. But here, no.
They barley even refilled our waters.
I do not reccomend this location to anyone.
Its great if you do not want to drive all the way downtown..but if you do want to have alot better service/atmosphere I reccomend anyother of their locations. -

I don't know what the other reviewer (Bijan V.) is talking about--I've never seen this place half empty. On Friday & Saturday evenings there's always a queue for seating, and it stays busy well after midnight, at which time the prices drop even further. Lunch is also cheap--under $10. Come to think of it, the regular prices ($13 for all-you-can-eat, couple bucks extra for lamb & prawns) are ridiculous too. No wonder this place gets packed.
I usually load up here before gaming next door at Lovegety well into the wee hours. I've always had decent service and the food is phenomenal, if heavy on the salt.
You can't diss this spot. I mean WHERE are you going to find all-you-can-eat meat & vegetables and Korean appetizers at such rock-bottom prices? Exactly. -

i come here once in a while but only because its cheap for late night food (night special $9.99 !!) on weekends w the bf if we can't decide where to go .
i hate coming here . its like the last place i grudgely agree to when i cant think of anywhere to eat around the area late at night . as a korean, i almost hate this place . there's nothing korean about it other than that you cook the food yourself at the table . NONE of the meat are korean marinated . theyre not even good ! i dont know if its just bad cuts of meat or bad marinating but it can be sooo much better . i havent tried a lot of real korean bbqs in toronto but places like sariwon up in richmond hill are examples of REAL korean bbq . not this place . this place is FAR from being korean .
one star for food . another for the value & attentive service .
