Reviews Sariwon Korean Bbq

The rating only comes from the food because service is pretty crappy here when the owner is not present like most korean establishments. Just a heads up! They give you a lot of side dishes compared to other korean restaurants and food here is always fresh. If you are taking someone out for korean food I definitely recommend this place. It is modern and clean. The best part is, it is extremely well ventilated!!! They are famous for their korean bbq and it is also really good and you dont wreak after!! So no need to change clothes and wash your hair afterwards! That turns me off the most about all korean bbq restos, but not here.

Let Meat Shine. It's not terribly difficult to slice a bunch of meat, soak it in soy, sugar, sesame, onion, garlic and pear, and throw it on a flaming grill and come out with something tasty. That's Korea barbecue as it's found in most places, and I'm all for it. It's a little bit rarer to find a Korean Barbecue place that lets the meat and not the marinade shine, as they do at Sariwon. The kalbi, in particular, is top notch, as Sariwon butchers in the traditional way by filleting it in layers away from the bone. The meat is tender and a light marinade adds flavour, but keeps the intense beef taste. The grills don't use charcoal like other places, so you might miss the smoky flavour in the food, but I liked not having it on my clothes at the end of the meal. It's all predictably pricey, but at least you can see where the money goes (it's into the meat.)

Return visit. Attended for a banquet function.  The upstairs room was large and spacious but pillars were oddly placed. The food was nice and plentiful but I think the BBQ smells were more appetizing than their their prepared foods. Price is a little steep but authentic food. 70%

A City In North Korea And A Restaurant In North Of Toronto. E: Sariwon is a restaurant specializing in Korean BBQ for around $20 per person. BBQ is not the only option, but their specialty and the choice of most tables. Each table has a central oven grill.
I first ordered Mandu (Korean pan fried dumplings) and they were exactly what I expected. They were very good. We next proceeded to go for the BBQ for two, which was delivered post-haste unto the table, but not before bowls of complimentary banchan (pickled dishes) like kimchi (spiced cabbage), squids, chives, vegetables, spinach and peppers. The meal itself was nice and tasty. We had pork, beef, peppers and mushrooms. The ribs (galbi) were tender, the boneless beef was easy to chew and we were given a few lettuce wraps for use for dinner as well. The meat and sauces can be eaten by being placed in the wraps. The quantity of meat and vegetables was just right making us full without going overboard.

A: The L-shaped restaurant setting made it look bigger from outside than it really was. The huge sign not directly, but further up, above the restaurant also helps give Sariwon a bigger image.
The tables and booths were all occupied by Koreans, which adds a feeling of authenticity to the proceedings. The restaurant is simply, yet tastefully decorated, although ambiance is provided at such restaurants courtesy of the grills and the customers using them at each table. The tables were nice, booths comfortable and they had actually bothered with some decorations and drapery. A couple of tables were occupied by the staff for their own paperwork and such.

T: We were given prompt service. In fact, the waitress arrived several times at our table before we were even ready to order. Being engrossed in our conversation and amateurs at Korean food we took our time ordering. The waitresses took it upon themselves to be present at our table repeatedly, which was a needed helping hand(s). Parking is busy, but not as bad as some other plazas which also contain a supermarket. Sariwon is only neighboured by small businesses.

S: I found the service kind and patient at Sariwon, but - how typical - the waitresses did not have the best command of English and were limited in their interaction. Having said that, this allows them to mark the non-Korean tables and repeatedly visit to give a helping hand with the barbecuing. I am not sure other tables received as many visits as we did, but the waitresses would visit often to add meat or vegetables to our grill or remove the items left there too long in case they would be overdone or burn. Apparently, we were too slow in eating and it had a cascading effect on picking items off the menu.
Each table has a ring for calling the wait staff to the table as well.

The best Korean BBQ restaurant in T.O.. Coming from a Korean, this is the best Korean BBQ restaurant in T.O. This is where all the Koreans go. It is managed by a Korean man with a long history of running the best Korean restaurant wherever he went (previously at Seoul House at Orfus Road). It targets the Korean community and not "foreigners" so you know the food will be authentic.

A word of caution to non-Koreans though: their service is also Korean - don't expect a four star restaurant service. That's just how it is in Korea when the restaurant is busy. But think of all the free side dishes you're getting!

Look at the banchan assortment!  You can easily just get full from eating this- and its also unlimited too! Bimbimbap My mom’s staple dish. Here’s is the mixing process unfolding.  Squish egg. Thoroughly.

Sariwon is where you can go to experience authentic Korean barbeque cooking in a comfortable environment. Located in a retail plaza on the bottom of condo buildings, the location is surprisingly large with tons of tables and several tucked away in separate rooms.   Tables are spaced a comfortable distance away from each other so you don’t feel like you’re spying on you’re the cooking skills of your neighbours. Sariwon serves an extensive menu with Korean non-barbeque dishes (pork bone soup, bibimbap, etc.) as well as a couple of pages dedicated to Chinese cuisine.   However, you get a sense to stay away from all these as ever

The meal was phenomenal since it is quite rare in Montreal to experience authentic Korean flavor. Usually many menus are Westernized; and, many of those who appreciate Korean food and its culture avoid going to Korean restaurants. It is said that bad Korean restaurants (or any Asian eatery) make you thirsty 2-3 hours after eating because they use MSG a lot. We didn’t feel like drinking water at all like we did after eating a well-known Korean restaurant in K-town, Toronto, last Friday – we finished 1.5 L of a bottled water that night.

4 stars. There is a huge parking lot further south but be aware there is no underground parking here The staff here are super friendly and answer very quickly to the bing bong door bell. The foods are well marinated and cooked very well. The baNchan was non ending and constantly topped up Will come back for more great eats

KBBQ | LLBO | Dine In | Cash discount Vaccination required, covid protocols in place Been coming here for years. The last time I came it was only patio dining due to covid. Now I'm back for a dine in experience. The food is amazing as always. Service was good. I was surprised to see their rating went down over the year. Got my usual 2 meat choices BBQ, soju and YukHwae. There were more side dishes than normal. I also got a fully loaded soy bean soup. Amazing food and experience. Will always be a supporter. *** AUGUST 2021 *** KBBQ | LLBO | Patio Authentic Korean dishes and BBQ Great service and food quality. I've been here for years and due to covid it was my first time to eat at their second level patio which was cute and cozy. I enjoyed my every visit. The servers were sweet and polite. Overall I'll always come back. Please note that some items on the BBQ meat selection does have a minimum 2 order requirement.

The food and service here are incredible. The facilities were clean and accessible. The grills have plenty of heating power to generate a nice sear. The kimchi is well balanced. The meat is fantastic, but the veggie based sides are also very well prepared.
