Kimganae Korean BBQ — Restaurant in Moncton

Absolutely phenomenal. We are here in area on vacation and we're trying to check out some of the different restaurants. The kids wanted barbecue and my wife suggested we have Korean barbecue. We were unsure what there was available so we had a good look and this restaurant came up. The customer feedback was overwhelmingly positive. We reviewed the negative feedback and found it to be a little ridiculous.

We have visited many restaurants that cover a wide variety of price ranges and this is probably one of the best Korean restaurants that we've been to, especially one that has Korean bbq. We found the pricing to be actually quite reasonable for the quality of food.

Our waiter was very friendly and courteous. He made some very pleasant suggestions and suggested what we might like to try for our barbecue instead of ordering one specific item. We actually got a combo plate which allowed us to have many different things. He also worked with my wife to create some sort of custom concoction of combining two different menu items together and they were able to do it.

We had a small amount of food left over and we brought it home because I ate my fill and everybody else ate their feel as well and it was just too delicious to leave. The food was a little sweeter than our local Korean restaurant but then again, they have a different menu selection and different flavor profile. I happen to prefer this one over the local option.

I feel kind of bad only having one picture and that's because I was too busy eating. We took the picture attached shortly after our plate of barbecue arrived and our miso soup. Unfortunately we didn't bother taking pictures when the other food arrived because we just started digging in and eating. It was absolutely phenomenal and I would definitely recommend this establishment for anyone looking for amazing Korean barbecue in the area. We didn't try their other dishes but if you're looking for an experience instead of just eating, try...

Stopped in here on a Friday night at 8.05pm. Asked if the kitchen was open and was told that it would be closed in 10 mins.

Ordered bulgogi spicy and chicken japchae. One of my hugest pet peeves ... ordered 6$ green tea, got a half filled pot and no follow up service. Water was never refilled ... and didn't even want to ask for extra Gojochang.

They have a great buzzer system to alert services to when you need a follow up ... however after asking if they offered Banchan, Kimchi or any typical openers I would expect in Korean restaurant ... it was a firm no. I asked for Soju ... flat no.

They were... more interested in closing at 9pm than anything else. The service was very "unKorean" and catered for white people who had never been to Korea or knew anything about Korean food. By the time it was 8.30, the kitchen was closed and everyone was playing on their offering side eyes to get us out the place as quickly as possible. Maybe the team had a karaoke bar date.

Finally the food. It wasn't bad but I was so put off by the terrible customer service that I couldn't move past an average and over salty Bulgogi or chicken japchae that was swimming in sauce ... the staff assumes that others haven't seen what baseline good or excellent Korean food should look like.

This is a tough review because this place can easily do better. I'll visit again to see if my first time...

Just before my lovely wife Pat went in for her work, we stopped at this interesting Korean restaurant. I let Pat out of our car at their front door while I parked the car. Upon entering this establishment I spotted Pat immediately and made my way to her table. Pat already had 2 menus in front of her. Pat pointed out the gadget given that we use to receive the attendants attention and service. That was incredibly handy and smart. Once we both went through their large menu selection, Pat hit the silent signal. During this time our waiter had already brought over complementary glasses of water. Our waiter, young Junyeong, was very courteous and efficient. Shortly after ordering we were served our food freshly prepared. We both enjoyed our selections (see pictures) and there was enough left over for Pat's dinner (we'd stopped in here for our late lunch). Seating was extremely comfortable and it was a delight seeing the many pillows available for further comfort. Highly recommend this place for great food at reasonable pricing, at least for what one receives. PS. Did not learn till later that there are some tables with built-in BBQ setups. Best to reserve seating during busy times, especially for...
