Kook is hands down the best Korean BBQ I’ve ever had in Canada! The food and service were both amazing. What surprised me the most was the variety of side dishes, and the best part is they’re all refillable! Every dish was fresh and delicious. No wonder it’s always hard to get a reservation. Highly recommend if you’re craving top-quality Korean BBQ!
Service was amazing! Super friendly and attentive staffs that helped us with grilling the meat as we were eating and constantly checking up on us! We ordered the four person combo (178) and for the portion of meat you get, it was really worth it Taste was top notch, perfectly marinated! 10/10 would recommend and highly suggest to make reso beforehand as they were very pack even on a weekday!

The quality of the meats was excellent, with each bite showcasing the freshness and premium selection of the ingredients. The overall dining environment was clean, modern, and comfortably spacious. What impressed me the most was the variety and quality of the side dishes.

In short, this Korean BBQ restaurant delivers not only in taste but also in service and ambiance—an outstanding dining experience that I would gladly return to.
This place is hands down my absolute favourite Korean bbq of all time. The food is 10/10, always very fresh and delicious, they serve an incredible selection and variety of banchan (15 side dishes and they’re all so so good). Unlimited refills of the 15 banchan which is amazing. The servers are very attentive and kind, overall always a 10/10 experience everytime we come here, always consistently wonderful. Love it here!
Great banchan and selection of meat. The service was quick and the ambiance was neat. We like how there’s a call button on the table making it convenient to ask for help. The cinnamon punch at the end and the corn tea in the beginning were beautiful touches of the experience.
the cuts of meat, banchan, drinks and noodles were all very yummy. at first, i underestimated getting full but was happily proven wrong. excited to come back! i enjoyed the vibe of restaurant with the music, k-pop tv and sweet staff
Above my expectations. Ordered Beef Prime combo, love their quality and taste. Specially, the marinated beef ribs was fantastic. Side dishes are excellent as well. Taste like very typical authentic Korean food. Definitely come back and highly recommend.
Great dining experience at Kook Korean BBQ today. The food and service were excellent. Those banchans are delicious, the meats were perfectly seasoned. I enjoyed my strawberry yogurt cocktail. I can tell they used real strawberries because there were some strawberry seeds in the glass. I love that the combos come with ssam and they refill the lettuce and banchans. I've been to several different Korean BBQ restaurant but Kook has the best service so far. You can also omit pork from the combo if you don't eat it, and substitute with more beef or chicken. That's a great option for people who don't eat pork. Their Doenjang Jjigae is great. It has lots of veggies and tofu and the broth tasted just right. Most of all, their vents are great. It didn't get smoky so we didn't leave smelling like BBQ. I highly recommend this restaurant!
