It was my first time going to Gyubee and it definitely won't be the last. There are so many delicious options, even for the lunch menu! In the GTA there's always a line up, so it was great to just be able to walk in for lunch (it was a Thursday though, so that helps!). A must visit if you're in the area! I find Ottawa doesn't have a lot of stand out Asian restaurants so I'm so happy this is here!

An unforgettable experience. You get to experience Japanese cuisine and way of dining. The food, the ambience, the responsiveness of the staff was all on point! They offer an all you can eat dining at a fixed price. You get to grill your seafood, beef and chicken 🍗 by yourself to you taste and preference. Variety of sauce are available and the steamed rice is super dope. A lovely restaurant to experience Japanese style cuisine and dining. Highly recommend. you should also try the honey sweet potato 😜

This place was such a fun experience, and the quality of food was excellent. You order with your server, and your food then comes out on carts. The hospitality team is great at switching out the grills when they get sticky. Hands down the highlight are the delicious creme brulée and Taro ice cream desserts.

★★★★★
September 21, 2024

Gyubee is an amazing all-you-can-eat experience for grill enthusiasts! The setup features a grill in the middle of the table where you can cook your own selection of beef, chicken, seafood, and veggies. The waitress visits every 10 minutes to take your order and even shows you how to use the grill, along with tips on how long to cook each type of food. It’s a fun, interactive dining experience with plenty of options, and the dessert selection, including ice cream and crème brûlée, is a sweet bonus. You can order as much as you like within a two-hour window! The portions are generous, and the 60oz beer is both massive and refreshing. Note, if you don't have a reservation, there's a waiting list, usually the wait is around 15 to 20mins,

The food is good and so many selections. We three went there for dinner. The service is good and we got Dian to help us. She brought many different samples to let us try out, and then select what we like. It is lovely experience there.

Coming from Montreal and feeling really hungry, we came here to fill our stomachs like ogres. We ordered almost every beef and porc meat in the menu and everything was amazing. We received almost everything without the need to recall the order. The staff was a little bit impolite. More in the sense that we didn’t feel welcomed. They served smaller portions of everything. Moreover, they changed way too many times the grill where we cook when it wasn’t necessary. In Montreal they change it two times max in the space of two hours.

Great grill spot in downtown Ottawa. Miso soup is a great way to start with it. Lamb was my favourite and definitely recommend everyone. To finish it, Ice Cream is a must try which is a totally different experience.

★★★★★
July 28, 2024

An unforgettable and incredible experience! Although we had to join the waitlist to get a table, the wait was much worth it. A bit on the pricey end with a pretty fixed menu with less options compared to other all-you-can-eat places — however, high quality ingredients and very attentive staff. A huge thank you to our server for her exceptional service throughout the night! Would highly recommend!

Nothing to say. One of the best addresses for Korean/Japanese barbecue. Food quality A1. Good service and good atmosphere. Glad to have ended up trying this restaurant, because there are often a lot of waits. On the other hand, for groups of 6 people or less, reservations are made via Yelp. We arrived and had waited a maximum of 5 minutes. One of my favorite addresses in the region. May seem expensive, but for what it is, its affordable.

A Unique and Delicious Experience at Guybee Japanese Grill! Guybee Japanese Grill in Ottawa is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and a fun dining experience. Their all-you-can-eat option is a standout, featuring an incredible selection of fresh, high-quality meats that you get to grill yourself right at your table!

I have been a regular at this all-you-can-eat restaurant, but my recent visit left me disappointed. After enjoying our meal, we asked for the bill. The server who brought it was different from the one who served us, and when it came time to pay, I didnt leave a tip, as I felt tips are not mandatory. The server reacted negatively, expressing frustration about the lack of a tip. My friend also left without tipping and faced the same reaction. As we left, the server made a remark about leaving tips for service and seemed to complain to her coworkers in a different language. I have never experienced this issue before, and it was surprising and uncomfortable. I hope the management can address this to ensure a more positive experience for all guests in the future.

Greeter told us 40 mins, but we got a text in 15 mins. Had walked around the area. Pretty much ran back. Then sent us to a full table. Then sat and waited for table.. finally get table and start to cook some food. Didnt find anything very tasty honestly. I think if our server could have been more helpful with suggestions or methods that might have been helpful. We would not return. For the cost, o expected more. Better seating, not horribly uncomfortable benches and folding chairs. The creme Brule is served cold and you eat it with a wooden ice cream spoon. Ya need 4 to make up a normal size dessert. Certainly not impressive. Parking: No parking.

Was a nice experience. Lots of meat options (with all day menu) and few vegetable options. Kinda felt rushed to finish cooking and eating within the time limit, so we ended up finished well under the 1h45min time limit. Service was excellent. Server was very helpful explaining the experience and portion sizes for us first timers. Nice quaint atmosphere. The only downside was that since we wanted to try everything, when all the dishes came, we didnt really know what was what, So it was hard to know the name of the meat choices we liked in order to order seconds. Vegetarian options: Limited. Check the menu. Parking: Street parking free on Sundays.

Jasmine was a star. The way she walked across the gyubee floor was so elegant like a swan. She served my food with such care, her fingers gracefully placing my food on the table. She always has a bright smile on her face that immediately lit up my day. My dog died, but I immediately forgot about him once I saw Jasmine. Amazing. 10/10. Love.

I recently had a very disappointing experience at this location. our server was not attentive. We ordered two cups of tea, but she forgot them until we reminded her an hour later. When the bill came, we were charged for 4 cups of tea. During our BBQ, the flames became too strong, and she turned off our stove twice. I assumed she was going to replace the BBQ net due to the burnt net and strong flame, but she never returned. We had to ask another server to turn the stove back on. This service was far below what I ve experienced at other Gyubee locations in Ottawa and Toronto.

Japanese food grill. Very good food, especially the prawns, salmon, mushrooms and miso soup. The waiters are very attentive so you can order more dishes quickly. I dont give it 5 stars because they dont accept foreign cards and they force you to withdraw money from an ATM they have inside the bar!!!!!

★★★
September 21, 2024

They dont accept credit cards and its not obvious on their website. Food is good but make sure youve got enough money to pay for it. Honestly a restaurant that doesnt take credit it ridiculous. I wouldnt go back until they do

The store is located in the busiest part of the city center. The products are very good and the portions are generous. Sherrys service is very attentive! Will come often

★★★★★
September 21, 2024

The service here is some of the best any restaurant in the city, even if youre cooking your own food, the staff is very fast providing you the food, sides, or drinks right after you order with the server. To avoid any unknown wait, best bet is to join the waitlist on the Yelp app, since thats the only way to basically reserve a time, but the app will notify you when you should join the waitlist based on your guest size and the time you actually want to arrive.

Full experience was not great. The most stressful dinner ever. The servers were always in a rush to take our order (not attentive) and they were always dumping the plates on the table with no manners. The tips percentage that we were forced to pay didn t reflect the good quality service it was supposed to come with.

Every dish was an absolute triumph, from the succulent beef and tender chicken to the perfectly seasoned pork and melt-in-your-mouth salmon. The honey sweet potatoes and mushroom medley were bursting with rich umami flavors that danced on our palates. A special thanks to Jessi, whose exceptional knowledge and warm, friendly demeanor made the evening truly memorable. Her attentive service was top-notch. To cap it all off, the crème brûlée and taro-vanilla swirl provided a heavenly, sweet conclusion to our meal. This place is an absolute must-visit. Dietary restrictions: They excelled at accommodating all dietary restrictions, whether due to allergies like my companion; religious practices or personal preferences.

Very original concept, the meats and accompaniments are fresh and varied. The waiters come by regularly to see if you want to order other dishes, so no waiting between services. This allows you to taste several products. Some meats were a little fatty for my taste but other than that everything was very good.

Ive been here a couple of times before but today it was really special,the service was magnificent and everything we needed was handed to us without us even asking for it. I definitely recommend trying this place at least once but check online first for the wait(it isnt that long but in case of bad weather). Parking: You need to drive a bit around to find a parking and dont forget the park meter for tickets. Wheelchair accessibility: It is completely accessible and Ive seen many people in wheelchairs in here.

I had been there before and loved their food. But yesterday was a totally different experience. We went there with our group of 5. Couple of us were wearing traditional clothes as we were attending after an event. Some of us didnt eat pork, therefore we wanted a spot with 2 grills. More than half of the tables were empty. But they didnt accommodate. They kept saying they only provide 2 grills if there are 6 people in the group. Well have to leave after 60 minutes. There were many spots available with 2 people seating option and 4 people seating option just beside us. Any of those would have been fine. We felt discriminated against either our cultural attire or our religion or skin color. In any of those cases, it was unacceptable and unprofessional. We will not repeat.
