Korean BBQ has long held a special place in Toronto’s dining culture, beloved for the interactive experience of grilling your own perfectly marinated meats at the table, surrounded by an ever-replenishing spread of banchan and sauces. Now, a new destination at one of the city’s most vibrant intersections is taking that beloved format and adding a twist that every serious eater will appreciate: all-you-can-eat.
Jongro Korean BBQ Buffet has opened at 745 Yonge Street at the buzzy intersection of Yonge and Bloor, bringing a genuinely comprehensive buffet experience to a neighbourhood that has been crying out for exactly this kind of destination. It is one of a small number of Korean buffets in the city, and its central location makes it among the most accessible.
The all-you-can-eat meat selection is expansive, covering brisket, beef finger, top blade, chicken thigh, pork belly, pork butt, pork sausage, hanging tender, beef tongue, and shrimp, alongside grillable vegetables and a full buffet line featuring rotating hot dishes, cold sides, soups, baked goods, and desserts.
All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ at this calibre and in this location is a genuine rarity in downtown Toronto, and Jongro’s arrival fills a gap that food lovers have felt for some time. Whether you’re planning a celebration dinner or simply looking for the most satisfying way to spend a weeknight, this is a destination that delivers.
Gather your most enthusiastic dining companions, arrive hungry, and prepare for the kind of meal that leaves everyone at the table in a state of deeply satisfied silence. Jongro is open now at Yonge and Bloor — go find out what you’ve been missing.
