The K BBQ

What is The K BBQ? Perched on Bloor Street West just steps from Christie station, The K BBQ operates on the ground floor of 699 Bloor, occupying an intimate storefront distinct from the karaoke lounge tucked directly beneath it. The snug dining room is outfitted with warm golden walls, compact sienna booth seating, and built-in tabletop exhaust hoods built for close-quarters grilling. With fewer than forty seats in total, the space quickly fills with tabletop sizzle, banchan spreads, and lively Koreatown energy.

The K BBQ Menu & What to Order Tables run on a minimum two-serving order for grilled mains, immediately rewarded with a generous spread of nine banchan, fresh lettuce wraps, ssamjang, and skillet corn cheese. The thick-cut pork belly crisps up with a tender, juicy chew on the tabletop grill, while the pork jowl delivers an exceptionally rich, buttery crunch. Round out the meat lineup with beef brisket tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), comforting spicy soft tofu stew, and house-brewed pineapple beer or chilled soju.

Know Before You Go Because of the compact seating footprint, prime dinner hours on Friday and Saturday see brisk turnover and sidewalk waits, so call ahead to lock in a table or drop in off-peak. Bloor Street parking is tight, making Christie subway station the most hassle-free transit route. The kitchen serves steadily from noon straight through until 2:00 a.m. daily, making it a reliable late-night grill destination.
