My family and I finally got to try out this very popular AYCE Japanese BBQ restaurant! We got a reservation as we were a group of 6 (they take reservations for parties of 6 or more). I highly recommend getting this if you can as lines quickly filled up the hallway from the main entrance and every table was filled! You get 2 hours to eat at about $40-50 CAD per person. It may seem pricey but the quality of the meats alone was worth it! They provide high quality cuts of all kinds, and the meat themselves are marinated in all manners of flavours such as miso, garlic, black pepper and much more. The cuts are all super tender and melt in your mouth. There is a great variety of marinades to keep things fresh! Their seafood was also all fresh. The squid was delicious and the octopus in the Takoyaki was tender and just the right amount of chewiness. The sides dishes such as the pineapple, Butter Corn and rice all complimented the meats and seafood nicely. The staff here are hardworking, attentive and kind. They always brought our next orders of food we would request promptly! We got Crème Brûlées and the soft serve of the day for our desserts. The Crème Brûlée was delicious and rich while the soft serve (which was Ube-flavoured) was so refreshing. You can have as much as you like of everything. I’d definitely come back to Gyubee for another extravagant AYCE experience!

Really enjoyed this place. They are crazy fast getting you seated and though the wait looks daunting it goes by quick. The staff were super friendly and made sure the food kept coming. We tried a bunch of seafood, and a mix of steaks and kalbi’s. Everything was great. Dont sleep on any of the briskets or the miso steak Watch out for anything that comes in the foil dishes, they take longer to cook and take up a bunch of room on the grill. Some of them were really good, but space and time was an issue. Also the only time we didn’t really enjoy was the salmon. It came tinned and didn’t cook as nicely as grilled items.

Welcome to my favorite restaurant in Toronto!!!! Japanese-Korean grill is a great place with a cook-your-own-food technique. It has unlimited food, drinks and dessert options with a time limit of 1 hour and 15 minutes. I absolutely LOVE this place. I especially love the soy sauce-sweet meat options. The bibimbap is amazing when I tried it I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm not really a person with eggs but I loved it I think everyone should try it😂 and my biggest favorite is ENOKİ MUSHROOM they changed the mushroom option a few months ago and it really upset me because I don't like other mushrooms that much. It's a place where you can eat and hear, worth every penny of your money. The staff is very fast REALLY FAST and polite. Thanks for everything guys🩷 Suggestion for customers: For those who have parking problems, there is a green park a few streets behind and the price is quite ideal.

GREATEST BBQ EVER. I took my pals here for a birthday night out and it was my best decision yet. We enjoyed a hearty meal filled with delicious meats that were rich, juicy, and easy to eat. The takoyaki was absolutely amazing, soft yet still tangy and tasty. Afterwards, we enjoyed a few delectable desserts like the crème brûlée or the light and fluffy tangerine pudding. The staff can be a bit hard to get a hold of since they’re quite busy, but are still helpful as any other server. The seating is also nice and not too squished as there’s a divider in between the other tables. Overall, Gyubee’s is a fantastic place and although it may seem pricey, you get two hours and can eat as much good food as you want.

I have visited other branches of this restaurant but the quality of the meat in this one is much worse! I could say that drinks and takoyaki taste the same. We are quite frequent customers of another branch so we know very well the amounts we normally eat, but here the meat had so much fat that we had stomach pain after eating, and they had to change the grill more than 3 times (when normally they do it at most once). Due to the position of the seats, you feel much less privacy, and it is annoying how many times people pass so close to your food! The service is much slower than in other branches, so although we ordered quite a few dishes when we arrived, we went about 10 minutes without eating because the next order did not arrive and no one came to ask if we needed anything. Finally, I saw that they put the order tickets on the food! which I definitely cannot consider hygienic!

Really great experience, I loved Ajillo, Garlic Beef Brisket and Sweet Soy Brisket. The atmosphere is great as they already set up for Christmas. There is no forced tips and the service is great and definitely deserve tips. It is really popular so the line up would be a problem, they allow reservations for 6 people or more, less than 6 people, you could add yourself in yelp before coming, or just avoid the high peak time.

*Food* I am always hesitant when it comes to 'all you can eat' restaurants, but this place was out of this world. We tried all the beef options, and ALL were so good that we had to reorder 3 or 4 times. The pork options were also amazing. My favorite pick was the miso beef brisket, along with the bibimbap. Super tasty! I'd give a 10/10 for everything i tried, i tried everything except the chicken there. *Service* Staff is super friendly and welcoming, they're fast and they're always wearing a smile. I'd definitely try the place again. *Atmosphere* The place is ALWAYS full, so you might have to wait in line. Make sure You're pretty hungry before you go there. Also, the price is so reasonable, and the food is worth every penny we paid.

The food itself is very good. There were so many options, and everything was fresh. Unfortunately, our experience was not great at all. The staff was not attentive and made us feel rushed, which made us uncomfortable. Considering they were charging holiday prices, $90 for two people, was very upset with their service.

We enjoyed everything about Gyubee - the food and service were stellar! We don t know how, but we kept ordering more and more, and ate it all. It s a busy spot, so you may want to make reservations. The Miso Beef Brisket and the bibimbap were two of our favourites. It cost between $40 to $50 a person, but it s worth it.

We got 1 grill for 5 persons, which makes it very slow for everyone to have something to eat. 4 people seated a the table and 1 on the side. Not comfortable and very expensive for what it is, do not recommend. Would be better to have 2-3 persons per barbecue grill but the greed is high.

really great food and attentive staff. Its really fun cooking all the meat yourself! we ate a ton and didnt even come close to the 2 hour limit. definitely a fun thing to do on a date or with a group of friends. The only thing I d caution people about is it gets VERY busy, we went early (about 4pm) and it was already busy, but by the time we left it was PACKED with people filling up the entry hallway. They do have a virtual queue so you don t have to physically be in the restaurant to reserve a table, but they don t take reservations for small groups. Can t wait to go back though!

Service is very fast, friendly and efficient. Although the price point can seem high, it is worth it for the variety and amount of food you can order. We loved the takoyaki that was recently added to the menu and the taro ice cream was a lovely way to end the evening. I have recommended this place to several friends and will continue to come back!

October 21, 2024

Terible customer service named Herace. She was rude and very impolite when she arbitrarily took the dessert from my table and brought it to another table without asking permission. Its so bad that the business owner hired her. I will definitely never come here to eat again and I will discourage my friends from coming here.

October 21, 2024

Had the chance to meet the owner. Very bad experience. Seems very standoff-ish. Maybe he was having a bad day, but it won t kill to smile. Some of the staff were also rude. I suppose you learn from the top. If you re going to be hospitality, you have to, in fact, be hospitable. Good luck with your business!

Sad that when I last went, there were no more pineapples

September 21, 2024

TLDR : We were nearly overcharged for about 2-3 extra people , they melted our ice cream cake due to bringing it out prematurely, a server made fun of me in front of other guests, and they isolated our birthday celebration of 25 to three separate tables and we were not able to interact with one another. The Long Story Below : Although I frequent Gyubee in Scarborough , I must say the bloor location is a major downgrade from the usual kindness and helpfulness that you re used to from Gyubee. I went there today to celebrate my friends birthday and we were a table of 25, when the reservation was made it was as though there was no problem seating 25 people, but upon arrival we were separated and isolated into 3 different tables all apart from each other, essentially turning a birthday celebration into three small dinner parties, completing throwing off the vibe of the entire night. Throughout the entire night , we were not left alone by staff, essentially we felt as if we were being watched 24/7, not for hospitality reasons but because they felt as if we cannot be left unattended, which we found awkward and uncomfortable. Then , at one point I asked the server for clarification on which dish is beef and which is pork, seeing as how two guests at my table didn t eat pork , and another didn t eat meat in general, the server proceeded to answer my questions, but then shoved a plate of shrimp in my face asking me what it was, and when I proceeded to state that it was shrimp, the server went at least you know that shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I found it to be very disrespectful and uncalled for seeing as I was just asking a question. We arrived at 8:00 o clock for our reservation, we were told we have a two hour seating limit which is standard , but they gave us our last call at a quarter after 9:00 pm, as well as brought out our dessert before we finished our barbecue, over-stacking our table to the point we had no space. To top it all off , they brought out the birthday cake for my friend alongside another persons cake without telling us that they were going to do so. They also refused to use our candles that we provided. To top it off they even refused us basic cutleries and utensils to eat the ice cream cake that by this point had melted due to them bringing it out prematurely. To round off the night , we were rushed out of our seats due to last call, only to gather up all our cash to pay the single bill, which they would not budge on doing separate bills and said it was policy for parties to do one bill. Upon gathering up our cash they insisted we were short by nearly $200 and forced us to recount the cash 3 times, only for us to had given them the correct amount the first time. They had told us to hurry up with paying , only for them to change their minds 5 minutes later telling us no rush. But this was already after the fact we had been rushed out of our seating to make room for other guests apparently. Overall, the food was amazing for Gyubee standards , but we will never be stepping foot inside of this Gyubee location again, truthfully shocking at just how bad one location could be.

We went there at 4.30 so luckily we didn t have to wait. We saw they don t even have any seats at the door for customers to sit and wait. BBQ Meats are very delicious. We like miso pork belly, lamb, and beef tongue. Quick order and great service. Fair price for an adult but not for an 11 year old girl. It ll be better if they have more menu choices on appetizers and desserts for teenagers.

The food tastes very good. But the restaurant system is very inhumane. I made an appointment with two friends to have dinner. My friend arrived 20 minutes earlier than me and wanted to be seated before the meal came and people started queuing up. We also told the waiter that we agreed that the meal duration would be calculated based on the time the first person sat down, but the restaurant waiter said that only two people could be seated before they could be seated.

Debit or cash only. Food was great and consistent with other locations. Service was very fast, we were seated with no wait on a Tuesday. Bloor location is a little small, so we recommend a reservation if you have a large group. We typically only order beef, pork, and veg. All of the desserts were good but we did not order ice cream, only Taro flavour was available on the day we were there. Our favourites are the black pepper kalbi, and the steak.

Current visit: This is an experience of my current visit. I was quite disappointed with my experience. The portion sizes have significantly decreased. For instance, the steak I ordered was about half the size it used to be. Additionally, when I asked for six portions of a particular item, I received one large dish with smaller portions instead of the six portions as I requested.so if you ordered 2 portion of corn, don t expect 2, there will be only 1 . Its clear that this is likely a company decision aimed at controlling food waste. However, it just results in customers having to place multiple orders to get the amount they originally wanted. This process is frustrating and diminishes the dining experience. And I was informed that it was limited to order 2 steaks each time . I hope the management reconsiders this approach, as it currently leaves much to be desired.

Great all you can eat Japanese grill spot at a good price. The seasonal items for summer were all on point, and the 2 hour limit is more than enough to get satisfied and squeeze in some dessert. If you pay cash they give a discount and only Canadian debit cards are taken. There is a cash machine on site though so its not a hassle. Quality of meat is excellent - I especially enjoyed the miso marinated beef, bibimpap and chicken cartilage.

Terrible seating, bad food, lack of space for the foods they brings, noisy and definitely not worth $50. Spring Sushi is definitely better with $39, and the wait line was awful. Btw the desert was horrible also the ice cream was not good, the crème brûlée was pure sugar and the pudding was sour. The only good thing was the watermelon which i doubt was worth the money. My first and last time.

We were planning to eat around 7 so monitored the Waitlist and ended up putting our name down at 5:30 - got seated around 7. Only thing is you kinda need to be nearby.

Overall 4 to 5 stars BUT they recently advertised taro ice cream at this location; when we went yesterday, it was just a tiny vanilla ice cream (very watery). We asked when they would have taro again and we were told they dont know, sometimes they have it sometimes they dont. ??? Doesnt really make sense to me that they would advertise that its available then... We got tricked. It especially sucks since my friends from Windsor came here specifically to try the taro ice cream.

Walked in on a friday evening and lucky to get seated after 30 minutes when we re told that the wait time was 1.5 hr. Good variety of food. The kalbi beef, takoyaki, and the creme brulé were really delicious. BUT the seating is small and there was no privacy because servers keep passing by. Limited seating of 2 hours but we felt so rushed. Our server kept coming back and it was annoying when youre trying to enjoy the food and talk to your friend, and get interrupted by the server every 15 minutes. We spent 1 hr and 30 minutes and billed out because it feels like theyre trying to kick us out when there s only few people waiting outside.

Careful as they do measure kids height to consider a child or as an adult. Found this location better than the one on Dundas.

Always delicious and very consistent excellent customer service at every location! The beef selection is my favourite and the miso marinated steak is the BEST option. Never gotten sick here and Ive been to locations across Ontario (not that hard to cook the meat properly)

Highly recommend getting their takeout items, specifically the Shabu Tareyaki which is a bento box with rice, and relatively affordable with cash discount for the location and the quality and quantity of food. The Sukiyaki is amazing too, if you can cook it yourself because it is delivered not cooked. Very decent portions for the price and quality ingredients. Very difficult to find parking here. Dine-ij is great too, the air quality inside is great comparing to other Asian grill restaurants in the area, and the food is very good quality.

The restaurant is convenient located on busy area. There is a parking available in front of the restaurant for $10.00 fee. We had a group reservation for 13. We arrived all on time, but it was only one table for 8. Obviously, the rest of the group has to wait, even though we have reservations. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and meat quality wasnt great too much fat on it. The restaurant is so small, so if you want some privacy, there is not. Washrooms didnt have toilet paper.

Great choices but its hard to get a hold of a server. It wasnt even busy as they have multiple empty seats but it took us 40 mins to get the bill ready because our server havent checked in on us. The restaurant is also quite small. It can be very loud even though its not busy. Expect to shout when talking. Their soft serve also isnt ice cream. It had a weird texture and very oily.

Since moving back downtown from the burbs, Ive walked past this place many times, and it always looked like it was dead quiet, but then, one night on a whim, I popped into try it out and was surprised to discover that (1) the place is much larger than I thought, and (2) it was jammed full, with more people lined up to get in. I didnt line up then, but I assumed I must be missing something, so a few days later, I came back for lunch with a friend. We were not disappointed. Its kind of a blend of KBBQ, tepanyaki and sushi bar all rolled into one. Reasonably priced, good food, good service and a fun dining experience all around. Ill go back.

We love Guybee, but we will not come back this location anymore because the manager is so mean with us, we came there at 6:30pm, we know the limited time to stay in 2 hours, we were going to leave, but it seems like we were being kick out of the store at 8:25 pm by the manager and the way she talked with us was so rude!!!! Terrible service!!! I could say paying $55-$60/person for that service doesn t worth it at all!!!

The food was amazing and so was the service. We have the best server, her name is Jessie. One of my friends on the table was allergic to seafood and fish, she took such good care of him, and and every time she brought something to the table, she would be sure to tell us whether he could have it or not. She was amazing. The was super fast on my table, inspite of the restuarant being completely full. I highly recommend Bibimbap Miso Beef Brisket Butter Corn Pineapple Creme Brûlée I am definitely coming back for another meal. Dietary restrictions: My friend has a seafood and fish allergy, the server took really good care of us.

I love the lively and buzzing atmosphere of this restaurant. It is such a great eating and social experience. The food is amazing and the staff are absolutely amazing, friendly and hard-working people. They have the meal service down hard-core, and things run like clockwork. especially the garlic steak. It is a little pricey so I am recommending you go on an empty stomach to get your moneys worth. Also try the kalbi beef and the bibimbap- it is really good! The wait times can be crazy but totally worth it

Terrible customer service ridiculous and unfair children policy. I was excited to bring my family here for my mom s birthday. Our nieces were told to remove their shoes on bare feet in the middle of a busy restaurant to measure their height in order to qualify for kids pricing. They were a few inches over their minimum though the menu says 10 and younger and they are 9 and 10 years old, we were still denied and though they didn t plan to eat much were told they must pay the full adult price. I am embarrassed I brought my mother and family to such an idiotic establishment. We were looking forward to having this experience for her birthday all week and are extremely disappointed. I will make sure to discourage other families from trying this restaurant.

Although they pretend to be Korean food, they are meat with an ambiguous taste. Please note that we only accept cash Its unlimited refills, but I only ate once. Its too salty and sweet I understand that the staff are busy, but the counter staffs unfriendliness goes too far.

The first time I was here was lunch time but we had the dinner option (you pay more but you get more food options), we had the lamb but for me it was stenchy. The creme brulee for dessert is good, the rest of the meat like all the beef are all good!! The Japanese girl who served us were kind and very accommodating, they will tell you as well the time limit and to wait for how many minutes to get the food as we were a lot. We gave them tips (cash) even when there is a service charge. This month I went here again and chose lunch, limited options like no salmon and other seafood like the clams, the server named B repeated a lot of times that we did not tip and there is no tip so when I saw him in the hallway, he didn t smile at me but i did smile at him! Hahaha We did not tip because there is a service charge and we don t really find him nice since the beginning, does not extend to get the plates instead he will ask you to get or reach it for him while you are cooking and eating. Bring cash because they don t accept credit! Dietary restrictions: They will ask you if someone is allergic to seafood.
