Food is ok nothing special. Very cheap food. There is basically no service its a pain to order since you have to use your phone. And there is absolutly no information about what you are ordering exept for a picture and cooking time.. no calories. No nutritional facts.. the music is way too loud so you have to yell to talk to someone and just makes everything way too loud. Not a fan.

Not the worst but not the best either…the food was nothing impressive.

The restaurant is NOT horrible. However, if you’ve ever been to any other Korean BBQ you will be disappointed. They don’t have bulgolgi. Their sliced pork belly isn’t cut traditionally (nothing enough). They don’t have the traditional sides. You can only get one order of garlic and lettuce. And there are genuinely just not a lot of meat options. For some reason they don’t have scissors to cut the large pieces of meat on the grill. The place is clean, the food they do have tastes fine so not horrible. The service is quite bad though. The ordering system is complicated and nobody explained it to us or asked if we were ok. We were pointed to a table with no words and someone quietly brought us water. That was our service.

My experience at this Korean bbq was truly disappointing , for the service, the food, as well as the ambiance. Their service is extremely bad they would come to us and tell us that we had to pay if we don’t finish every 5minutes. They wouldn’t stop watching us while eating and didn’t let us eat with out feeling observed. They forced to put extra tip and i told her to put 15% after she forced me and she did 30%. The salmon was really not fresh it was not good at all. They would mess up our orders every command. We were the only people at the restaurant and I understood why. The food is as bad as the service and the ambiance. Do not try!

It’s an ok KBBQ, good prices and a lot of choices. The deal for the Sapporo is great 5x20 😅

I highly recommend SOTA! I've been to three different Korean BBQs and this one is my overall favourite. There's no strict time policy to stress you out. The place itself is nice, the staff was friendly, the service was sUperfast, the portion sizes were smaller - which allows you to taste more items, and overall every item was good (except the sausage - I wouldn't recommend). I particularly loved the Korean bone beef stew, the dragon roll and the array of sauces that are available to you. I was pleasantly surprised by the black sesame icecream : probably not for everyone as it has a very powerful taste which tastes like sweetened sesame oil - I loved it. The black bean icecream was disappointing : it tasted like a watered down cherry icecream. The price bracket I indicated is including tax and tip

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. While eating at this all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant, an elderly man with no uniform or any identification suddenly came to our table and, in a very rude and interrogative tone, kept asking, “You’re done, right? Your grill is off, why don’t you pay?” His attitude was extremely disrespectful.
In fact, we had not finished our meal. We had ordered more food that hadn’t arrived yet, so we temporarily turned off the grill and planned to turn it back on once the food came. We were not over the time limit at all. Meanwhile, several nearby white customers had turned off their grills earlier and were eating ice cream, yet none of them were questioned. Why were we singled out? The unfairness was shocking and uncomfortable.
When I pressed him about who he was, he finally said he was the owner. I then asked why he ignored other tables whose situation was even more obvious but chose to confront only us. He stammered and said, “They are eating ice cream,” even though I still had food on my plate. Faced with my question, he went completely silent. He then said he was there to serve food, which clearly avoided addressing the issue.
I repeatedly asked him to leave our table because he was disturbing our meal. Only after several requests did he finally walk away. The entire experience was disrespectful, unfair, and left us feeling that we were being treated differently. I strongly suspect discrimination was involved. I would never return to this restaurant and cannot recommend it to anyone.

It's $43 for all you can eat. Portions are small, but served fast. Pace yourself! Call in advance to reserve a table for 3 or more. Friday nights are busy!
Amazing service, food quality and atmosphere for a very reasonable price. Patrick is a fantastic host, this is my favorite restaurant in Montreal !!

The lamb and ice cream are good, but most of the other meats are dry even if not cooked for long. The service was disappointing, most of the waiters were impatient and only guy felt nice to talk to. At the end, I almost went to scoop ice cream myself because they forgot about our order, but thankfully they finally did it for us when I went to their ice cream buckets.

Not real korean bbq. None of the grill meats are what is shown in the menus pictures and instead come in this weird marinade. No alternative options such as plain raw meats which is what every good korean bbq restaurant serves. It's just not what you would expect and just disappointing overall.
