We had just moved back to Fort Drum, NY from living in Korea for the last 3 years. Prior to Korea, we've gone to many Korean bbq in America and have had amazing experiences. This one was one of the most depressing experience I've had in my life. The kids were even sad First the grill. It's not the built into the table ones, so no air vents above to suck up the air. They bring the table side one to your table. Second, we had to complain twice about the weak flames/grill and that it was taking over 5 minutes to cook the paper thin beef slices. Kids were starving. Second, banchan. The side dishes. If you've been to any decent Korean restaurants, you know that the free side dishes are full of color and flavor. They only have us these sad dishes. The kimchi was fine, I just wanted some green onions, spinach, bean sprouts, something. Third... no steamed eggs! I don't think I've ever seen a Korean restaurant without Gyeran-jjim. That's one of our favorite side dishes, so that was disappointing. Fourth, garlic. We love getting thin slices of garlic to cook on the grill and eating it in our lettuce wrap. They claimed they didn't have any garlic. Odd. Location, off of the main road with plenty of parking. So that was good. The servers were kind, but had a tough time with the grill to work properly. We finally had one of the male servers to swap out the grill and the meat finally started sizzling. I think this place has great potential, but if it's a portable burner and barely any side dishes, I can easily do it at home. We love going out for kbbq for the full experience of endless banchan. Our search continues...

Very over priced Korean Restaurant. The owner is a horrible person as well.I went there two days ago for a meal, to find out not only they sell very overpriced food, the chef and staff members are very underpaid and how they dont get to keep their tips.Horrible.

The food was pretty good, the Korean fried chicken reminded me more of a north American fried chicken with Korean flavors, not the typical ultra battery crunchy skin like in Korea. The flavor was still good. The flavors for the other dishes were quite good and the grilled plate has great flavors. A little too sweet on the cheese mixture but an overall great experience. Will most likely come again to try the other dishes. Prices were very fair and not overly expensive !

I (from Montreal) visit to the Kingston to play golf with my friends from Mississauga and Rochester (USA) every summer.We ordered two Kimchi jjigae(soup) and one Kamjatang.They were shame of Korean food.We disappointed a lot.Just too watery soups, a little kimch with too fatty parts of pork meat.

Fourth time eating here and really enjoy it. Good is good and prices are great! You can order a dish that feeds 2 people for only $20. Lots of selection, we enjoying getting at least one new dish each time to try things out. Staff are friendly. It’s also fun that they have a little shop in front for some food stuffs. If you like in table cooking they have that too - keeps your food nice and hot!Only a 3 for atmosphere as we find it dark and music a little loud.Dietary restrictions: Can find gluten free options on the menuWheelchair accessibility: We don’t use a wheel chair but our stroller was easy to get in and out.

It’s always such a good time eating here in Burning Grill. I’ve been eating here since it first opens in 2019 and the food taste soooo good as always. The side dishes here tastes really good every time, especially the homemade kimchi. Owner and servers are really friendly. The pork bone soup is one of my favourite and it’s authentic Korean cuisine here. If anyone want to try Korean bbq and food, Burning Grill is always the best choice in Kingston.Definitely worth trying and returning.

A great Korean place in Kingston. I have been on the hunt for a Korean BBQ place in Kingston for a while as my family loves it. We came here and were not disappointed. They have many options, including many seafood/vegetarian options. The price is reasonable, the service is fast, and the place is clean.I shared a seafood pancake and a seafood soup. Both were quite good.My family also had the marinated beef that they said was fantastic.I'd come back and encourage others to try this place too.

We had dinner for the first time Aug. 5, 2023. Had the hot stone bowl of Bulgogi Stone Bowl Bibimbap and Chicken and Rice.Appetizers of Kimmari and Deep Fried Shirmp. These meals were excellent! Serve piping hot! They were delicious and flavourful! Enjoyed using the chop sticks, too. The service is fast and friendly! Charlotte was our server. Affordably priced. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We LOVED eating at the Burning Grill! It was our first time trying Korean BBQ. After we told this to our server Reena, she patiently explained the menu to us and gave us her recommendations (after we asked).We tried the marinated pork and the thinly-sliced beef belly. My partner and I had a lot of fun chatting and cooking our proteins and veggies on the grill. The food was abundant and flavourful. The MVP was the kimchi included with our meal, which was very mild and tasted amazing.Being able to call Reena with the help of a button at the table was convenient. The owner also stopped by a couple of times to check on us and we had a lovely chat. Before we left, we stopped by the store they have at the entrance and enjoyed looking at the products.Overall, our experience was memorable and we definitely would love to come back.
