Gyubee Japanese Grill (Markham) in Markham

I love this place! My absolute favorite Japanese BBQ in the GTA!

Overrated AYCE Japanese BBQ...did lunch here and it was just average.

The food was decent, but the service was really rushed. We were told we had 2 hours to dine in, and we were done in a little over an hour. While we ordered our desserts, the servers were rushing us with the bill over and over again to get us out the door. If were spending 50$ a person for a dine in experience, then I can not appreciate being rushed out. If we crossed the 2hr mark or were even close we wouldve understood, but that just ruined the whole dine in experience for all of us. I would take my business to the other gyubee locations as this ones service didnt live upto the mark

We visited here today, and everything was great. The food was high-quality with a good variety of meats, though our table was a bit small. What really stood out was our server, Aria, who was everything you could ask for fast, attentive, and always available when we needed something. They handled everything with ease, ensuring we were comfortable and happy throughout.I ll definitely be back!

The food was good, but they applied the holiday pricing as of December 17, and **nobody informed us until we received the bill** It ended up making me feel so bad. They should let people know about the extra charge before they start eating, as it feels too early to apply holiday pricing

Signed up for the waitlist at 5pm, the estimated time for our table to be ready was around 8:55. They texted us at 8 pm and said come see the hostess WITHIN 5 MINUTES. We lost the table as we live 20 mins away. By far the stupidest system Ive seen at any restaurant. They expect you to spend an hour waiting in their lobby otherwise you lose your table after 5 minutes. Waste of my time, go to SHINTA instead, we were seated immediately and the food is the same.

Amazing food and amazing service! Service was so quick! The quality of the food was good too! Good variety even for the lunch menu!

the food is actually so good but i feel like i need to throw up after every time because i cant stop putting this meat in my mouth

Allen is amazing. Service is excellent. We will definitely come back and recomend it to friends and family

I ordered Uber(Yakisoba, two light dinner), green peppers and fried chicken were kinda raw, and the Nagoya fried chicken didn t have any sauce on it. This was my first time having this bad quality food in this restaurant so I hope this wont happen again

Delicious food. It s sad that you have to wait at least one hour to get a table.

Gyubee Review: Solid experience overall! The staff was super efficient quick to take orders, swap out the grill, and clear plates, which kept things running smoothly. The only downside? Parking. The spots in front of the restaurant were super limited, so be ready to hunt for a spot at the side/back of the building or park nearby. Other than that, a great spot for a BBQ fix!

Food was ok really up to your own bbq skills. Had a club soda and shared it with my 3 year old so they asked me to order one more drink because apparently you are not allowed to share ok no problem I ordered it. There is also a time limit of I think 2 hours. We were sitting wrapping up the ice cream right around the 2 hour mark the manager showed up and literally kicked us out. I was siting with 3 kids. It s just not a way to service.

A delicious place to go and choose in Toronto, which is very professional on BBQ with good environment and nice service. Highly recommend!

The food was great! But the waiting period if no reservation is to long more than 1 hour. 1hr and 30 minutes for us. It is not spacious. So make sure you have reservation before coming here!

Amazing experience !

Went here with a party of 6. Definitely call in advance. Food was great and selection was good. Would return!

My experience there was awesome. The food is great. The atmosphere is amazing, and the staff is very attentive.

I often come here to eat. Most of the staff are very friendly, and there is plenty of parking. Try to come before 5 p.m., as it tends to be less crowded.

The food and service were excellent. We had the lunch AYCE option for $28.99, which included a choice of four types of beef and plus four types of pork.

This is the busiest meal I ve ever had. We took a 3 years old to the lunch. I need to cook the food. Order the raw material and offer the cooked food to my son at the same time. Even though we have 2 hours. It is apparently NOT ENOUGH TIME And we need to pay 15% after tax tips with literally only take our orders+bring the raw material to us.

Good service good food!! Some menus were updated and even better.

The juice went on my face and it hurt food good

Great dining experience as always. Absolutely loved the food there. My favorite restaurant ever.

The pumpkin soup, crème brûlée, ice cream, miso beef and lychee mint soda were the best! Service was pretty great too and I loved the costumes the staff wore for halloween I wasn t huge on cooking the squid as it took some time and didn t taste great and the shrimp also took a while to cook.

We had a great date night, the meat was amazing! The kimchi wasn t the best imo as if it s like made on the spot, doesn t have that fermented taste to it and just tasted plain which is unfortunate because kimchi and meat is the best combo! Overall would recommend going for special occasions, serves are nice and helpful. The creme brûlée is unlimited which is amazing because that s the best desert on menu!

BEST all you can eat in Toronto

Had a great night out with my boyfriend! Very good food and great service! Would recommend going here!

Perfect food perfect service, too noisy though.

Excellent food. they just need to be more transparent on their policies on all you can eat. They rush you out right on two hour limit even if there is no one waiting for table

Update 11/24: still great food, love the new additions to the menu. I wish they had a better system for reservations and a bit more spacious. Previous: Food is delicious and so are the drinks! Try the lychee mojito! I have been trying to come here for a while but the wait time is so insane, the first time I visited it was 90 mins and Ive been told can go as high as 3hrs. I wouldnt wait 90 mins for a table but if you have a group of 6 or more you can make reservations which is better or go off peak times if you have a day off. The selection and quality of meat is great and I love that its not drenched in sugar marinades like Korean style bbq. Definitely a great place to eat with friends.

Its a big restaurants, very fancy. Each dining table is separated by partitions to form a private, separate area. Perfect for dating. I like it very much, including the service is very warm. I have tried 2 other restaurants in downtown, but they are very mediocre! This restaurants in Markham is really nice!

Mike is the best server here. They are all great but Mikes attention to speed of service and quality is unbelievable. The food here is fantastic and the cuts and selection of meat are great. Unlimited creme Brule for desert is insane! 10/10 recommend this place over any kbbq ever to exist.

Need to wait for 20mins for each time orders. The service is also extremely disappointing.

Great dining experience! The food was fresh and flavorful, with plenty of variety. Special thanks to our server Eason for his attentive service and helpful recommendations. Highly recommend!

Rude people & you can t pay with credit card.

Please do not come to this place.Right after my friends and I finished dinner we went to the bathroom and an employee had just finished using the toilet. SHE DID NOT WASH HER HANDS. She went directly back to work after that. This employee is directly handling our food and spreading the bacteria. Her lack of hygiene could make so many guests sick and they wouldn t even know why. It is imperative that a sign be put up in the bathroom and all over the restaurant that mandates all employees to practice BASIC hygiene. The actions of this woman are a reflection of this restaurant and how they are collectively breaking basic health code regulations and putting customers at risk every single day. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

Food was great, service was okay. Keep in mind, bill is split per table. Don t take credit card Parking: Shared lot is always full, have to go the back

Nice place and the food is good! We like Jot so much, she is so nice to everything we needed!

Best Japanese grill in the area. Been here many times and always leave satisfied. 100% would recommend.

Food Average Great service Food

There is a waiter name Terry. He is a very polite and patient waiter. He made my familys lunch very happy. I hope Terry can be praised by the restaurant.

We came here with friends today, and Allen helped us order and serve the food throughout the process. He was very thorough and the service was very good!

Just WOW!!!!!! First time here and let me tell you! Food 10 out of 10, service 10 out of 10! Highly recommend! Absolutely incredible.

I mean its alright ideal for night out or group function gets real claustrophobic since all the booths are tightly stacked back to back Food : 4/5

To be honest,we tried it yesterday,and we really enjoyed the foods there,food is great.However,the service makes us so disappointed, of course most of staff are friendly.But the lady who services us,she treated us so rude and looks so impatient,that s make us feel so bad during our mealtime

We had a reservation for 6 and were promptly seated. Our server Allen was very attentive. Service was excellent. Food was delicious- particularly the beef (all cuts and marinades) and seafood. Dessert was nice to finish off the savoury meal.

My happy place

Parking: It should be easy to find a parking space from Monday to Thursday. Everyone has a break from Friday to Saturday and there are more people eating out. Friday to Saturday and Sunday are more expensive than Thursday. The prices and menus of lunch and dinner Its also different. There are relatively more people eating on Saturdays and Sundays, so its harder to find a parking space. However, the parking lots around Ubibei are large and parking may not be a problem.

Polite and helpful staff, delicious food, priced perfectly for what you get. Definitely recommend

Amazing restaurant, one of the best experience we had in GTA, top notch BBQ place , everything was amazing. Well marinated food, price vs quantity value, welcoming and attentive staff.

This place is hectic, 2 hours max and it felt like the servers were all rushing to rotate the tables. It was expensive, the food tasted ok, not extraordinary just ok.

When eating with children, when the time came, the children started to ask for payment before they finished eating, and forced the tables to be closed. Such a bad service attitude. Bad review

His heart is sooo good

Today I had an extremely bad experience. Our waitress ( Natalie ) she was very rude. When we sat down at the table, she didnt bring us any glasses of water, while the tables around us did. And this was the first time we ate here and there wasnt a glass of water on the table. And then we tried to find her to order food but couldnt find her, I called another waiter and at that moment she appeared and pulled him away, which was extremely rude. And then when I asked her about my food not being served yet, instead of her answering me, she just nodded and didnt say anything. And then I ordered another rice cake (DF rice cake). Instead of her asking me how many pieces it had, she didnt say anything. I asked her how many pieces this order had, she said to me how many pieces do you want with an extremely unpleasant attitude. We came here to eat and paid in full, we didnt come here to beg for food and then we received extremely bad service.

Good quality beef. Fun place to eat. Time limits of seating is fine for two. But would be in a hurry for four. Desert is good too. Vegetarian options: Limited choices of vegetables, tofu, salad and soup. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible entrance, however seating are very tight.

They are so inhumane that Uber employees will not be allowed to use the restroom. I think they are not Japanese. The Japanese I know are humble people with conscience and compassion. But it is very difficult to say the same for this place. May God help them to give back the humanity they have lost

We celebrated two very special birthdays with very special friends here. Service was bang on! Khan and his team were so attentive to our table of 8 . Hands down this is the best all you can eat, especially for Carnivore lovers. Yes, even better than other BBQ spots. We had such a wonderful experience w great service , staff, and quality food. From the front team to the back. Much respect. Thank you Khan!

Ask for Allen, he was very attentive and would provide water, take away dishes and change grill before I even needed to ask. He might be one of the best waiters I ve ever had

Chinese waiters are relatively friendly and kind The food is delicious and cost-effective. Only one woman came frivolous attitude Food : 5/5 |

Order stuff and cook it. Its called a Japanese grill but its like a typical Korean BBQ place. Meat quality was good though.

I ve gone to the other Gyubee Toronto locations dozens of times. This was my first time here, and I was disappointed. Not sure if I was unlucky, but the service was terrible. Slow, inattentive, got our orders wrong, missed items. The other locations are phenomenal with how fast and thorough they are, so this location really stood out in comparison. Would not recommend, drive the extra couple minutes to another location to enjoy your meal.

I had a very disappointing experience when I went to pick up an Uber Eats order from this restaurant. The staff treated me unfairly and made rude comments about me being Indian, which was very hurtful and unprofessional. It felt like they were being discriminatory because they were all Japanese. On top of that, they wanted me to confirm the pickup without actually giving me the order. How am I supposed to confirm something I haven t received? When I pointed this out, they claimed it was the restaurant s policy, but that doesn t make sense. They are in partnership with Uber Eats, and it should follow Uber s policy, not some made-up rule of theirs. This experience was extremely frustrating, and I hope the management takes action to improve their customer service and prevent such discrimination in the future.

Rating: I had a really disappointing experience at Gyubee recently. My party and I had called ahead and were told our table would be ready between 7:00 and 7:15 pm, but to our surprise, we received a notification at 6:00 pm that our table was ready. Feeling pressured to secure our spot, one person from our party rushed over to check in. Unfortunately, no one informed us that the two-hour time limit to dine started as soon as she sat down even though she was the only one there and the rest of the party hadn t yet arrived. Had we known this, we would have waited to sit until we were all present, especially since Gyubee is an all-you-can-eat grill restaurant where cooking the food yourself takes time. When we raised this issue with the manager, we were met with a frustrating response: this is our store policy. We weren t even given the chance to fully explain our situation. Worse still, when we tried to offer feedback, the manager simply laughed it off, which felt completely unprofessional and dismissive. Later, while we were still eating, the same manager brought us the bill and said we d have an extra 15 minutes after paying to finish our meal. But not long after, she returned to say we had to leave because another party was waiting. This felt rushed, unfair, and downright stressful. What was supposed to be an enjoyable dinner turned into a frustrating experience of trying to eat quickly just to avoid being forced out early. It s clear Gyubee needs to improve their communication about time limits and treat their customers with more respect. I wouldn t recommend dining here unless you want to feel rushed and unheard.

Overall its not that bad, but nothing really special as well. A decent place to eat, but the all day cost roughly about $50+tax per person.

Great food, great service, good selection of appetizers. The price is also very reasonable.

They really need to stop saying you table is ready when it s not. Always need to wait extra 15-25mins after getting their message saying that Your table is ready

I have been to this restaurant more than once but never disappointed. Amazing food with friendly service. Parking: Ample parking even on weekends

Its a very nice place, Ive been here countless times.

Allen gave us an exceptional customer service experience. He was very helpful and always made sure we didn t wait for anything. Definitely recommend!

Allen provided excellent service. He was always there to takenour order and refill our drinks.

The food is amazing, the vibe and everything is perfect! And every staff is very attentive! Among all, Allen is the best! Highly recommended.

Very long wait time. No reservations allowed. Approximate wait time inaccurate. My approximate wait time was around 2 hours but i waited 3,5 hours.... Food is delicious, easy to find a waiter when you need.

Service is friendly and attentive. Food amazing as always. Highly recommend.

Amazing value for the superb meat quality. Our waiter Oscar was absolutely spectacular. He changed our grill at least 6 times and was super attentive to our needs. Love the food and amazing service. Big shout out to Oscar.

Everything was perfect, but they only accept cash or Canadian debit. For most people it probably not an issue. Theres an ATM inside.

I want to say a big thank you to Chris for ruining my mom s birthday. You re really a special one argue with someone over tips and screaming at your customer that they should tip more is crazy. I hope you get demoted. Worst experience if I can give it a negative star I would. five stars for Claire really amazing service extremely patient.

A waiter we met was very polite and friendly. Seeing that we had ordered too much, he reminded us of the amount of food we ordered, and when we were about to finish eating, he immediately brought us the food we had requested. Also speak with great respect to the elderly. The food is very fresh, and the kids are picky eaters, but they ate a lot of barbecue here. I like the Japanese yuzu milk jelly very much, it is refreshing and relieves greasiness. The beef on the first menu is very delicious and tender. The whole dining experience was very enjoyable and I will come here with my family next time.

I ordered food from Gyubee via UberEats and was shocked when I opened the box and a live fly flew out of it. This was extremely disappointing and unsanitary. I expected better quality control from a place like this. Hygiene should be a top priority, and unfortunately, this experience has made me hesitant to order from here.

Best Gyubee among all chains! Foods are great with high turnover. Service is speedy and accurate. My favourite location.

I love you my family, friends, love you my people and country by Phaya Brands Ochelebe

No business will be closed and no reminder will be marked

Great quality food at a decent price. Strongly recommend.

I have always spoken highly of the service at this restaurant, but today was truly exceptional. I was having lunch with a friend, and despite it being quite busy and the staff clearly a bit hectic, our server Lexie provided outstanding service. She quickly and accurately took our orders and came by multiple times to offer help, including topping up drinks, asking if we needed anything additional, and checking on our dining experience. Her patience, willingness to help and sufficiency at work really enhanced our experience with Gyubee today. Lexie is the best server I have ever had here. Highly recommend!

Food was good. But when it came to the end of paying, the server who was with us stated that tipping is optional now, so afterwards the manager came up to us asking if the service was bad, and why we didn t tip? It was really unsettling because tipping is an option but it seemed like she was forcing me to tip. Really unprofessional

I wish they open up more locations especially in west end or make the place bigger so more people can book it. It s my favourite all you can eat meat restaurant. I love the pepper kalbi. I celebrated my 24th birthday here with my friends but we went to downtown location because this one was full. The only thing i didnt like was the dessert (Melona ice cream) was limited to 1 per person.

I have been to many Japanese BBQS but this one was by far my favourite! Great food, amazing service!

Food was great. Service was not. First time being there and ny seat got removed when I went to the bathroom

Very good jap bbq. Succulent meat. (No diddy)

Ambience and good were great, went as a party of four, and this great server, I think it was Cindy Zhang. Got us another ice tea when I spilled it, all over the table, embarrassingly. Very charming and sociable!

Imagine u can t book a table if u don t have 6 or above

There is no reservation, we have been waiting for almost an hour to get a table. And it doesnt even matter if its weekend or weekdays. Too busy

I wouldve given it a 5 star if we didnt wait for 2 hours. And when we were seated there was only half hour left until the last call. We all felt like everything was rushed. We didnt really got to enjoy our food. But our server was very pleasant, that part is 5 star

First and Last time. Ive been to shinta a million times and Ive never been forced to rush our dinner because they cant book reservations properly. Had 1 worker tell us we have 15 min left, then another saying we have to leave, then another saying we have 5 minutes left, it seems non of them know whats happening. I would not of tipped BUT they have a forced 15% tip. Ah I see! Sit them down, rush them, force them to tip and make them leave right when getting their dessert. Perfect business model! I asked nicely if we can at least finish our Ice-cream and was told no. I cant imagine losing potential future business over 5 minutes. Be quick! They might take the food right out of your mouth before you can chew. Save your time, go to shinta or any other place

The food was delicious and all the staff were great except our service. She was rude and dismissive. I would go again, I just don t want to be seated in her section.

Today, my friends and I went to eat. We were all very hungry, so we just sat down to order something. Then when the food was served, there were bugs in the bibimbap that my friend ordered. The manager was called over at that time. The managers name was Fang, and he had a very bad attitude when he came up and said, I heard that you have eaten bugs. We will give the person who has eaten them a 10% discount. Thats it. We cant do anything else. We were very angry at the time because this person had a very bad attitude. He said he couldn t make the decision. We asked him who could make the decision. He said he could make the decision, but in our situation he couldn t make the decision. He said this happened in the summer. Bugs are normal! Isn t it important for caterers to ensure food quality and service? ? ? He said that it was normal for me to have been in catering for so long, and that we didn t eat the bug. Even if we did, they still have commercial insurance, just like if you fall down, you will be compensated by insurance... We friends I have a good temper, and I was forced to reason with him in the end, but he didnt listen... I was really speechless. In the end, we didnt eat anything and each of us paid 50 and left... I was so speechless. I dont know what happened. It s not like their business is getting bigger and they don t lack customers like us. I m speechless. This is the first time I experienced in Toronto what it means to be bullied by a store! It s best for everyone to go to their house in the future and check whether there are any bugs in the rice or noodles! ! ! ! After all, people say it s normal to have bugs in summer.

There are worms in the rice. We went to eat Gyubei tonight. The five of us sat in a table for four. The stove opened at 9:30 and ate at 10. My friend and I ordered two bibimbaps. There were worms in the bowl of rice. We called the manager. I asked how to deal with it, but I didn t expect the manager to come over. He called an arrogant person and said that it was normal to have bugs. He started by saying that you didn t really eat it. If something goes wrong after eating it, go to the hospital. We have commercial insurance and will definitely compensate him for this situation. Offer me a personal discount of 10% We couldnt do anything else. We had eaten for less than half an hour. We had no appetite after seeing the worms, and we started talking to the manager at ten oclock. In the meantime, its up to you what you want. Anyway, its up to 10% off. We were hungry and told him. After talking back and forth for twenty minutes, in the end he didnt come up with a solution and walked out in a swagger. Its really a big deal in this shop. There is no shortage of business at our table. It has been five or six years since I ate Ushibei. This is the first time I have eaten at Ushibei. Eat and go home

amazing grill place - the staff are usually on top of things. I love how this place doesnt smell like smoke because of the good ventilation. However, I would advise to always double check your bill here because I was once charged for 14 drinks by my server when I only ordered 1 or 2!!

Always satisfied here, the service and food is worth the price. Everything here is delicious, the cuts of meats and sides are great.

There is a big big mosquito in their bibimbap. And one of the managers (with Beijing accent) told us it was very very normal to have this mosquito in the dishes because it is summer. Then we asked what if there is health issue. Then the guy said they bought the business insurance which can cover this. (This literally just means they don t give a shiiit care about customers health and life, all they care about is the money) And the guy said offered the person who had the little creature in his rice a 10% off and other people remained the same. if eating insects is this normal, why would he offer this discount . Wth he is talking about. How can this guy be so rude and be a manager at the restaurant!!!?? He basically ruined our day! We didn t eat anymore after this and they still made us to pay for the whole meals except that poor friend with extra protein in his rice. Please stay away from that toxic manager and the toxic place if you want to have a healthy and happy day!

We came by for lunch on a Sunday. Food was good (since you cook the food yourself, depends who s grilling ). Gyubee is one of my favourites when it comes to a Japanese grill. I usually don t come to this location but I doubt I will after this experience. Service was decent up until the server didn t bring the drinks we ordered and we had to remind them. As we paid and on our way out, we were stopped at the door and questioned about our tips as to why we didn t tip more. Ridiculous, tips aren t mandatory and they depend on the service regardless.

The managers service attitude is very poor! The food is not delicious! You will regret it if you go!

My family has came here at least 50 times. We really love it haha, my dad wants to come every week. The food quality is really decent and the flavour of the fire, the seasoning, and the sauce all go so well together. The meat is fatty, flavourful, and tender, and the pumpkin soup is something I order three bowls at once of. The lunch price is really very reasonable and as someone who can eat a lot, it makes me feel like I m getting my moneys worth. Highly recommend!

Bugs found in rice. Manager offered 10% discount and said they cant do anything about it

Me and my boyfriend been here and service isn t even good. Then the tip is already charged in the bill even you didn t even put a tip in dundas gyubee we can decide if we gonna give tip or not cause hello how can we give a tip if your service isn t even good. And then you guys already gonna put it already and charged it to us lol

Superior to Chakos in my honest opinion. The wait time can be daunting but persevere and you will end up with a superior grilling experience.

I visited at the recommendation of a friend, but the quality wasnt up to my expectations. Bibimbap is delicious. They say the main branch is good.

They put on their website that there is no wait time. When you attened they tell you there is a 1 and a half / 2 hour wait. Dont waste your time coming to this location. They are also racist, they would never attend our table or always had an issue everytime we called for help

The store is really bullying customers. No matter how many empty seats there are, no one is allowed in. It s past two o clock in the afternoon.

excellent service highly recommended thank you Vegetarian options: grennies & yummy you have a lots of choices so you can choose what is best for you Parking: no problem so far a lots of parking space

Best service ever in Canada! You cant believe how they are good and friendly and service people Will definitely visit again .

One of the most underrated places in Markham for Japanese bqq If you want to come, come when it first opens or u have to call to reserve Food

Food: 5 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 5 Stars Overall: 4.5 Stars Note: CASH OR DEBIT ONLY Ive visited Gyubee Japanese BBQ more than a dozen times, and it consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. The quality and taste of the food always meet my expectations, offering a delightful array of flavours that are truly commendable. The recent menu upgrade has added even more options, which I absolutely adore. The staff at Gyubee are consistently friendly and attentive, ensuring that each visit is enjoyable. Their quick response time and attention to detail enhance the overall dining experience. Whether its explaining the menu options or promptly refilling our drinks, their service is always top-notch. One downside, however, is that Gyubee does not accept bookings for parties of two. This means I always have to make sure I join the waitlist in advance to avoid waiting in line for up to two hours during dinner time. It can be a bit inconvenient, but the delicious food and great service make it worth the effort. I usually visit Gyubee for casual dinners with friends and family, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is lively, and the all-you-can-eat concept allows us to try a variety of dishes without feeling rushed. From the perfectly grilled meats to the fresh vegetables and tasty sauces, everything is consistently delicious. In summary, Gyubee Japanese BBQ is one of my favourite dining spots. The combination of high-quality food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere keeps me coming back. If youre planning to visit, especially as a couple, I highly recommend getting on the waitlist early to ensure a smooth dining experience. Despite the waitlist issue, Gyubee remains a top choice for an enjoyable and flavourful meal. kellychan360

Best all you can eat grill in the city

After a few rounds of food, Im guessing that they felt we should be fine eating, do the next round of meat came to us frozen... To slow us down?

Service and Food quality was amazing!

Great + fast service. And good food. The wait list can climb from 30 mins to 1.5 hours within minutes of them opening at 5. But then the waitlist can move you up so you are rushing to make your time. Makes it difficult to plan accordingly unless you are going to wait there u til your table (or livr very close). But worth it if you do make it. Alterative is get 6+ people so you can make reservation for a set time. Will definitely visit again for our go to KBBQ.

I am not usually a fan of grill your own food or restaurant, but Gyubee (Steels/Woodbine location) stands out. Great dinner selection menu and unlike most all you can eat places quality of all their meat, sides, veggies, tray (in foil) foods, and even desserts are good, consistent, and they seem to have maintained this standard over the years. I come for the Korean cold noodles. Variety of food here is even better then some authentic Korean grills on Christie downtown (more seafood and veggies options). I took one star off because if you are less than 6 people, they dont allow you to make a reservation. Walking in or putting yourself on their waitlist is guaranteed at least a 45-minute wait!?! Unreasonable and limits how often I can eat here.

Great service

good taste

- disgusting washroom - no change table - we were put at a very small table for 4 adults and 1 child - servers were on point - they are thoughtful and provide childrens cutlery and bowl

We came around 4:20pm on a Saturday and there was no wait. Food was great. All staff were friendly. Karlie, our server, was so sweet and attentive, thank you!

The food are very fresh. Especially the shrimps and beef. The waiter Allen was very attentive and took very good care of us. Parking: A bit easier to park at the back of the building

Quality of food and service is top notch. Come early if you don t have reservations to avoid a 2 hour wait. That said, 2 hours goes by fast if you wanna wait at the mall and do some shopping or go for a walk to the closest boba place.

Nice Place

One of my favourite bbqs at a comparable price with other similar ayce joints. All the meat is well marinated and flavourful when cooked. Recommend the prime kalbi, steak, miso brisket and dont forget the fresh pineapple either. It is busy here all the time and you wont get a table unless you reserve ahead of time on their waitlist. On my recent visit, they no longer have melona ice cream as dessert, but still offer soft serve in a cone and creme brulee.

Its delicious, the meat is very tender, but there is a waitress who cant speak Chinese. We order in English, but some of us are not very good at English. This woman just ordered and had a bad face the whole time. I dont know if she looks like this or not. What other reasons give people the feeling of rolling their eyes to the sky? I don t know where the sense of superiority comes from. I know you work hard but you have to smile when you are a waiter and you have to smile Tipping at least makes me feel that it is worth it Later The Chinese guy who served us had a much nicer attitude.

I love Gyubee, I get excited coming here everytime. Their signature spice is too good, and I always order tons of crème brûlée whenever I come here

Quality meat

The food and service is awesome. But unless youre a group of 6+ people or willing to wait more than 1h or get extremely lucky, youll never eat their food because they refuse reservations under 6 people and the line is massive all the time. Open your reservations to couples and families too! Such a bad policy you currently have.

Terrible experience!!!!! If there were an option for no stars, I wouldnt even give one! The staff had a bad attitude and walked away before we finished ordering. We were a group of seven, ordered two dishes, and they only brought one. How could one plate of food be enough for seven people? This wasnt a one-time issue; it happened repeatedly throughout the entire dinner!!!!!!

I went for an early dinner, and everything was superb: the food choices, service, atmosphere, and location!

Excellent fun experience at Gyubee Japanese Grill all-you-can-eat place with tabletop grills for cooking meats, seafood & vegetables.This Gyubee Japanese Grill is located In Markham, Ontario, Canada. Shokuji o tanoshimu ! Food

2024 update: Im dropping this place from 5* to 1*, simply because they cant wait to host us again but theyll make your life miserable if you want to book a simple dinner. No, we wont book for 5 people. No we cant tell you if you can have dinner at 7pm as you have to join a waiting list and we dont know how long that list is. No, you joined hours ago but things moved faster and now you have to show up immediately and have dinner at 5:30pm or youll miss your spot and have to join another waiting list but its unlikely youll be able to eat by 7pm as its already getting busy. No you cant book online. No, were no on OpenTable, either. No, even on Yelp you cannot book for the time you want. God, do you care about your customers? Do you care some of them have families and kids cant stay hungry on a waiting list??? Discrimination is the only word that comes to my mind at this point. Parking: No idea why its lists no parking. Its on the first floor of a business building with free parking, you just need to drive around until you find a spot.

AYCE Japanese grill! This location is right in a commercial office building - note the entry is only from the front! You cannot access from the back doors of the building (I made the rookie mistake and walked around the building). Made a reservation and waited for about 20min before seated. Food came very fast upon ordering. All the dishes came fast and accurately - highly recommend the mushroom medley, short ribs kalbi! They kick you out right on the dot within the 2h - so many sure u order and eat! Soft serve ice cream was a plus! If only ordering can be done through an app!

Terrible reservation system. First got told wait time is 74-114min. After 50min.got a message that table is ready. 5 min later, got another message that the reservation is canceled. No call in reservation. Yelp reservation system is a piece of garbage.

Experience the most ridiculous and rude way of asking for tip. Will never come back

FANTASTIC. Sean at the front was very efficient and Yin our server made sure we re happy and helped with suggestions. The food was super fresh and we left incredibly happy!

Horrible food. Diarrhea for 4 days, and this is after waiting 2 hours for a table. Ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

delicious food. servers are super attentive. will take care of you even if its not their table been here ton of times and never fails.

Im always looking for a stellar Japanese BBQ spot, and my main criteria are satisfying flavours and attentive service. Despite the slight inconvenience of limited reservation times, once we finally dined at this place, the experience was top-notch. Although the seating was a bit tight, the swift and stellar service more than made up for it; ultimately, the delicious food and impeccable service made it a standout. I highly recommend it and cant wait to return for another round.

One of the best all you can eat places Ive tried. Great selection, great marinated on the meats and amazing service. Our server was really on the ball and was at the table before we even needed to call for him. But the star of the menu is actually the creme brulees, made to perfection despite being all you can eat. The only downside is debit or cash only

I ve been waiting here for hours and we got a reservation like be fr

Food and service was great as usual! Keep it up!

Best food Ive ever had in my life. Parking: Around 30 car parking spots Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food.

The attitude of the front desk stuff was awful. Was a fan to Gyubee, but not gonna go again.

The waiters were all very good, but the dishes were always short and the tip was cancelled. The waiter asked if we wanted to change. We only asked for two ice creams and he gave us the change himself. But the manager came over and said we didnt leave a tip. He had a bad attitude and asked us, do you think we have any change? You won t go back if you don t pay a penny. The food is not as outstanding as it says online.

We respect customers choices Arent you going to give a penny of tips? - Manager

This place is amazing! The food was great and it even had helpful instructions on the tables. My favourite dish is the Miso Marinated Steak.

The taste is okay, but the service quality is really bad, the restaurant environment is also very messy, not to mention the toilet...

Visited two location (Markham & Scarborough) and both did not disappoint. All my kids ate a lot and even my picky 8yo really enjoyed the grilled meats. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 Food

I was on the waitlist for 4 hours and they gave me an estimated seating time. When i got there all the parking was full and I finally found one. I waited like 5 mins for the car to leave and when it did another car took my spot. I asked them kindly that I was there first and that I claimed it but they just ignored me. After I went into the restaurant but the wait time was 30+ mins even though it was the time they had scheduled me for.

The food was really tasty and the staff were very kind. It s expensive but honestly worth it if you re gonna eat a lot, the meats are great. I would recommend the fried rice cakes they were probably my favourite thing other than meat and leave room for dessert, their crème brûlée is great too. It s quite a loud place though, be weary if you prefer quiet spaces.

One of the best server we have on guybee is Jennie. Shes a fantastic job. She deliver her service, So well that I am definitely coming back again. Shout out to Jenny for the best work that she did today. (ps thx for the rice)

One of my closest friends had her bridal dinner here with our other three closest friends. The server was corteous and approchable. We enjoyed cooking our food! Gyubee is indeed the best for eat-all-you-can Japanese grill!

Service was really good. However, I do suggest booking a reservation as the wait times are very long for walk in. Food was amazing quality for the price and they even have an ice cream machine and crème brûlée for dessert!!!

I tried it, and it was a pit. It feels like the navy is praising it in Xiaohongshu. The quality of the meat is very average. The steak is cooked but not chewy. Another example is the mutton. It is like a plate of minced meat that is 7 fat and 3 lean. I don t know which part is scary. The only fruit, pineapple is not fresh yet.

Not stroller or baby friendly! They had put us in a booth and with a car seat and was ask to move a couple of times because it was touching other side. No changing table for babies Food

Quality food will come back soon

Came here on a Thursday at 5:30pm, was able to get a table for 4 people within 5 minutes. Our server was very attentive and changed the grill rack 3 times during our 2 hr seating limit. The food was very good, highly recommend the Soy marinated short rib, bibimbap, and clams.

Fantastic service! Khan did an excellent job!

Been this location for many years. KHAN is the best server I ever met. Kind, passionated, knows his stuffs. Made perfect dinner for my family.

Had a booking, they cancelled at 7:20 and said they re closed without any explanation or resolution. Removed from wait list for no reason. At the very least explain to potential patrons why. Absolutely ridiculous.

Amazing food quality and outstanding service by Lexie. I ll definitely be coming back!!

I dont really understand why its a Japanese BBQ when most of the menu was Korean... the table BBQ, meat variety, side dishes, bibimbam are all Korean style. The food was good and I enjoyed the overall dining experience.

Food is good but the oil that drips and becomes a THICK black burnt grease around the fire is literally never cleaned. When your meat catches on fire, you are cooking with burnt meat grease. I woke up the next day with burnt taste even when I did not consume meat that was burnt.

Forgot to list my name on the waitlist so I worried if I was gonna wait 2hrs. But there were only 5 people waiting including me & friends on a Thursday night before Easter Friday. We waited 15-20mins after putting my name on the list on their system. Staff are so nice!! Highly recommend it!

Great place!

Been here twice with friends. I can confidently say the customer service here is unparalleled. For one there is a spacious lounge in case you need to wait for you table. All the employees are customer oriented. We even got a visit from the manager, welcoming us to the restaurant. Our server made a minor mistake, which was corrected swiftly and easily. I would give this place 5 stars if it weren t for the fact that some items that had been ordered didn t make their way to the table, at all. But again the place is usually booked out, so there s only so much you can ask for. All in all will come back, and will definitely look forward to their yummy and diverse all you can eat Korean barbecue menu =D

It s a bit pricey, but well worth it especially for all you can eat. The food quality was good.

Ivan, nothing short of spectacular! Takes care of us each time and goes above and beyond. Please let me know if I can give a him a reference for any job in the future. Please also let me know if he s looking into new jobs, so I can hire him at my business.
