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

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

Let me just say that the food is good, love the corn cheese. Our waiter Nick was good as well. Been going to this location a lot, but this was the first time a grease ball fell onto our food from the vent. I posted a picture and you can see this black half ball shape thing in our beef brisket. I grabbed someone who worked there to show them what fell from the vent. He came over, looked at it and then picked the meat and the grease ball up and told us that it was just a grease ball. They didn’t offer any compensation or alternative to us. I’m just a bit disappointed and now scared to eat there. Because do they even clean the vents often enough for grease not to fall out or will more people have grease balls fall onto their foods?

Our server Alec was so kind and attentive. Our grill was changed out in between different dishes. Food was incredible, suggestions were great. This was our second time here and we enjoyed it even more the first.
