About
Mr kimchi Korean AYCE BBQ Algonquin — one of Algonquin's strongest korean spots. Loud in the best way, with real pulse to the room. Strong bar program alongside the food, and quick and efficient. "The meat was a little under-seasoned and some of the options were posted online but we're not available to us" — Susan Field

i would like to write a good review but i simply can’t.
Really. This is for real the meat and rice that we were served to us. Total waste of money and appetite.
Waited so long between food. Server disappeared.

Come hungry ! Shaun was an amazing server !! He showed us a couple deglazing techniques, and always kept that sauce topped off. Thank you !!! I've had a few KBBQ experiences under my belt, and this one was top notch!!!

I had a really great time here as even though the wait to get a seat was longer than expected, once we sat down, food came out quickly, our waiter was superb, (patient, quick, and just efficent 10/10) ambience is nice, music is nice, and of course food was excellent. They’ve got different options such as A) $46.95 with 38 options B) $34.95 with 32 options C) $29.95 with 28 options. We got the C option and apparently it includes appetizers/side dishes/ and extras which was nice. It’s a very fun place to come on a date, or with friends, or a bunch of people as you cook the food yourself and can conversate a lot.

“So glad this location opened up, it’s become my favorite one.”
So glad this location opened up, it’s become my favorite one! The servers are always so friendly and the meats are such good quality (our server’s name was Joel & he was so fast and very responsive to all our requests! Thank you!) . Special mention for their corn cheese because I swear it’s the creamiest one out of all the locations.

“Christian was such a cool bartender and took really good care of us.”
Christian was such a cool bartender and took really good care of us. They have a huge selection of drinks to choose from the shelf. Joel is also a blast to have around and manages to go out of his way to make sure we’re good. They’ve definitely become favorite employees whenever we come to visit!

“We had a great time with our server Julie.”
We had a great time with our server Julie. We had a large group and she took care of us so well. She explained the menu to us very smoothly. There was a great variety of dishes and meats to choose from. The food came out very quickly and we had such great customer service. The cooking process was easy to do, and we had so much help from Julie.

Shaun got us started right as we sat down and not only that but the manager came by and got us two rounds of meat before Shaun made it back with our drinks. There was a bit of a wait when we got checked in but it is clear to see why. Great food and great service with a great atmosphere. We will be back for sure!

My husband and I came to celebrate our anniversary and brought our 3 year daughter with us. Our first time visiting this location - it’s a gem, and a great find in this area. Food was great, the Korean fried chicken side was amazing. The service was quick and very attentive. Our server Alex was awesome!

“Definitely not an ordinary experience.”
Definitely not an ordinary experience. It was fun to cook my meats, one of my favorites was the beef brisket. Also their house made sauce was delicious. And if you’re wondering about the stir fry/ramen station, it has a huge selection and it’s easy to use if you read the instructions. Also their fish cakes were delicious, I never knew fish could be sweet.

“Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently.”
Hands down, some of the best food I’ve had recently! The freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavors in the La Galbi and side dishes (kimchi, fish cake, tteokbokki, japchae are my favorites) were unforgettable. Also, it's refreshingly taste with the Melona ice cream, mango flavor, recommended for food enthusiasts! Shout out to the server named Sophia. She's so awesome!!!!

“I cannot speak any more highly of this place than i already am.”
I cannot speak any more highly of this place than i already am. We've been to other Mr.Kimchi restaurants, but Algonquin is the place to be. The food is amazing, they dont skimp on giving you however much your appetite can take. The selections from all 3 levels are impressive BUT MORE THAN THIS: SERVICE WAS AWESOME. I may be a little bias about our server, SHAUN, because that cool dude is our son 😅 BUT im referring to EVERYONE's service. Joel was great. The front desk girl was very friendly and seated us very graciously. Julie and Jin accomodated us very well. Everyone, go visit them quick!!!! Oh did i mention there is a ramen bar included?
