The service is rushed. Due to the line up situation, it’s understandable. However, when there was still meat in my sauce plate and a bowl of noodle on my table, the server couldn’t wait to take my plates away. WITH MY FOOD STILL UNFINISHED and WE STILL HAVE HALF AN HOUR LEFT. Then she came with the bill, turned off our fire and started her cleaning routine. Me not even touched my dessert yet. My friend and I had to finish our ice cream in the cold. I get it u guys have a huge line up, but if that’s the case, maybe considering reduce the two hour limit to one and half. Or can you take our plates after we paid our bill? Don’t think you saved anytime but only let us feel we are not welcomed. Nevertheless, one of their manager apologized to us for the inconvenient and gave us back the tips as a kind gesture. Food itself was good. All other servers were also amazing, think they deserved the tip but sadly ruined by one of their colleague. Still highly recommend for the food, but arrive early or get ready for some serious line ups!

Extremely busy since there is no reservations available unless you are a large group. Came for dinner on a weekend night. We went on the waitlist and it took us 3+ hours to finally get seated so heads up to do it early if you want to be seated for dinner. On top of that, you have to check in in-person then wait another hour until you are seated. Everything we ordered was delicious and was able to order 3 rounds before the last call at 10:30pm. The marinated meat was a favourite for the group. They only take cash and debit so do keep that in mind. Highly recommend bringing cash. Will maybe come back and ensure we get on the waitlist earlier for dinner next time.

I waited only 5 minutes to come in, and the quality of the food and the staff were so kind. I only ate beef, but all the meat was of good quality and not tough. They listened to my requests and I was very satisfied I recommend ANN she is sooo kind

It was an unplanned late lunch on a chilly Saturday, so we hadn’t reserved a table. We joined the waitlist and waited about 50 minutes before being seated—this place is bustling! Once we sat down, the food arrived surprisingly fast, and our server, Ivy, was absolutely delightful and attentive. Despite the packed space, the overall experience was very positive. Kudos to the entire team for their hard work and dedication! They truly deserve generous tips for all they do.

Nice service and staff. Good variety of beef and marinated well. Pumpkin soup is seasonal and is really good. Seafood is not that good to be honest but you cannot expect high at such place. Overall a nice spot to hang out with friends.

Best Japanese BBQ experience so far in Toronto! The service staff was so attentive, we never had to wait long for the food to arrive. And the food was sooo good! Especially the marinated brisket beef and pork belly was so divine, we probably ordered it four or five times. Make sure to book a table well in advance / put your name on the waitlist if you're a smaller group. We went on a Tuesday and still had to wait for around 45 minutes so plan accordingly.

We recently visited Gyubee Japanese Grill, and it was an outstanding dining experience. From the moment we sat down, we were excited by the diverse selection of meats on the menu, all of which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ambiance added to the overall experience, providing a cozy yet lively environment ideal for a fun meal. The service was also fantastic, with the staff being attentive and helpful when needed. Highly recommend Gyubee to anyone who loves Japanese BBQ and is looking for a fun and tasty grill experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The complete Gyubee experience in the heart of downtown! Id recommend making a reservation if you plan on going later in the day (past 4pm) The service is really quick! Theyre really amazing, especially Zend! He kept me stocked with cabbage salads and adjusted accordingly to our tables needs/wants. Went with a group of 7, it seems the largest group you can sit is 8. I could be wrong though! Dietary restrictions: They ask if you have any and adjust accordingly Kid-friendliness: Very understanding of childrens requests

There is a reason why this place is always packed. Food and service is 10/10. Everything came out promptly and was fresh. We enjoyed everything we ate, especially the soy marinated short rib and prime kalbi. The only thing I think they can improve on is to buy a new soft serve machine. Their ice cream can be creamier and higher quality. I didn t finish my ice cream cone because it tasted icy and all artificial flavoring.

came on a very busy saturday and joined the waitlist approximately 90 minutes before getting seated. however once seated the servers and quick to getting your order down and quick getting your dishes out. the meat was very delicious as well as the sides. the only thing i didn t like very much was the ice cream which was too icy rather than creamy but that didn t ruin my experience as the endless creme brûlée made up for it.

I used to really like going here. My last few experiences here were not the best. The food is decent, and the servers are always nice. BUT when you join their waitlist and it tells you to go to the restaurant to check in, they make you wait an additional 1 hour plus. There is no waiting area just outside, and a crowded entrance area which is a fire hazard. Also, no matter what quantity of portions you order, they just give you what they feel like. There is no standard portion. I ordered 6 miso steak, and it was the same as my 3 order. They also were rushing us. We checked in at 8pm after waiting on the list from 5 30pm they said our table would be ready soon and sat us down at 9:30, then told us the last call is at 10 20. Thats only 50 minutes, not 1hr 45 min. Then they gave us our last call at 10 10 pm, lol. Im already making my own food here. How are you rushing me after sitting me down late? Crazy experience, and Im only writing this because it happened more than once. Good restaurant gone downhill. Im not going to be coming back here.

I had a very frustrating experience at Gyubee due to misleading wait times. We arrived at the restaurant at 6:20 PM and were told it would be about a 60-minute wait. However, after waiting for 2 hours, we were informed wed need to wait another 20 minutes. While checking the Yelp reservation line, I found out there were still 17 tables ahead of us. Frustrated, I decided to leave briefly to get cash from an ATM just 5 minutes away. In the span of 2 minutes, I received notifications saying my table was ready and then that I had been removed from the waitlist! I hurried back to the restaurant within 5 minutes and asked why I was removed, only to be told Id have to wait even longer. To make matters worse, the front desk staff was very impatient and dismissive the entire time. Their attitude added to an already frustrating experience, making the situation feel even more unwelcoming. We wasted so much time, and I would hesitate to return. If youre planning to visit, be prepared for potential delays and confusion with the waitlist process.

Great quality and ok service. It it worth the one hour and a half wait? No! Better options avaiable, but my friend was in town, and her hotel was nearby. There were empty tables that took over 10 minutes to clear. Note to management- If you bus and clear tables faster, then fewer people would leave when they waited over an hour. Your seated customer will not leave but there was 15 tables that left when they were told it would be a very long wait.

★★★★★

Ive been a regular here since 2019-2020, and every time I visit, its an incredible experience! The wait can be long, but its absolutely worth it. The food is simply unbeatable.

My fellas and I have an annual dinner here and it s always been a decent experience. Very busy spot so it gets quite loud, staff are franticly trying to maneuver through the crowd, and lines can get long unless you make a reservation. Food is on the higher end of quality compared to other bbq spots. They have great selection and cuts of meats, seafood, sides, and etc. My one gripe is that as your dinner progresses, the seem to skimp on meat portions, making them smaller and smaller as the night progresses.

Overall good experience at Gyubee in October 2024. Not the first time visiting this location or other locations but due to the nature of the AYCE beast they need to be a bit draconian. Which is to say prior to the reservation they called me and informed me in almost threatening terms that unless we were present with all party members within 10 minutes of the reservation our table would be forfeited. Upon seeing the horde of wait-listers awaiting a table when we arrived I get it, but it was still a kind of unpleasent experience. Like if youre a work group, trying to coordinate multiple groups of people all arriving at the same time dueling with downtown Toronto traffic... little bit stressful. Anyways meal was good of course. Staff were attentive. All food was fantastic. Eating 6pm-630pm seems safeish. We were done around 8pm and the waitlist area seemed chaotic.

This place is honestly such a good bang for your buck. Join the waitlist online before arriving as it is very busy and you will be ahead of the game. The food is fantastic, lots of variety on the better end of quality for sure. I would gladly take loved ones here to fill them up on the low, quality all around service is quick, only issue I have is the seating is too close together. We had staff remove seats next to us to pack others in, the table next to us I could whisper in the guys ear next to me and he would giggle no problem. Our next door neighbors was 3 young boys whose parents dont let them swear because they made sure to swear loudly next to us as they described why they think girls have cooties and thats why they only eat with each other. Please introduce a kids section for guests like these and Ill be happy to come back

November 21, 2024

Insane wait times despite waitlist, extremely poor crowd management, manager had the audacity to directly ask me about why there was not a tip. The experience was poor but I felt bad for him. Still, etremely uncomfortable and ruined the whole experience for me and my girlfriend who are students. Will not be dining at such an unprofessional place again, do not come here

They straight up lied about their cash discount. They said several times on the phone to me and in person that paying with cash gets a 10% discount. In the end, they only did a $3 discount per person and then didnt own up to the lies. They tried to tell our group that they never said there would be 10% discount. Have some integrity and dont lie to your customers. Update: Had a phone conversation with the manager who tried to convince me they didnt lie, basically implying I made this up. It IS a lie when your staff have been trained that its a $3 discount but still tell customers on the phone AND in person that its a 10% discount. I also spoke to other people who have gone on separate occasions to dine at this location and they stated they were given the 10% discount! Seems like some sort of favoritism for who gets 10%. Quite unfair. Customers beware.

Food: 5 Stars Service: 4 Stars Ambience: 4 Stars Value: 5 Stars Overall: 4.5 Stars Gyubee Japanese Grill in Dundas offers a delightful experience for those looking to enjoy authentic Japanese barbecue. This establishment stands out for its quality ingredients, vibrant atmosphere, and attentive service, making it a must-visit for barbecue enthusiasts in the area. During my recent visit, I was particularly impressed by the variety of menu options. Gyubee specializes in Yakiniku, or grilled meat, and provides a wide selection, including marinated beef, pork, chicken, and an assortment of fresh vegetables. The Beef Kalbi was a highlight, delivering a satisfying mouth experience. Gyubee differentiates itself from competitors by offering a grill-at-your-table experience, allowing diners to cook their food to perfection. This interactive dining style not only adds a fun element but also ensures that your meal is served hot and fresh. Additionally, the restaurant sources high-quality ingredients, which is evident in the taste and presentation of each dish. For those considering other Japanese grill options, Gyubee holds its ground against local competitors like Kinka Family and Gyu-Kaku. While both offer similar dining experiences, Gyubee s ambiance feels more relaxed, and its emphasis on quality meats gives it an edge. However, if you re seeking a broader menu that includes sushi and other traditional Japanese dishes, Kinka may be a better fit. Overall, Gyubee Japanese Grill in Dundas provides a wonderful dining experience that showcases the art of Japanese grilling. It s a great option for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality barbecue with a unique twist. While there are a few minor drawbacks, the benefits certainly outweigh them. I recommend Gyubee for anyone craving a delicious meal with friends or family. xx kellychan360

The food is great and the wait staff is attentive, but we were a party of 7 with a reservation and wouldnt be seated until at least 6 of us were present.

Gyubee is a great spot for AYCE, but I made the mistake of arriving about 30 minutes before closing. We had to order everything at once, which wasn t ideal, and I didn t feel completely full by the end of the meal, even though the staff were kind enough to let us place two orders. I d recommend coming with at least an hour to spare so you can pace yourself and order gradually. This was my second time here, and I find the quality consistently good. The miso pork belly and marinated galbi were my favorites. Their desserts are also a highlight, especially the crème brûlée and milk pudding. Just a heads-up the lineup here is intense! We had to join the waitlist almost two hours before our turn. Despite the wait, it s worth it for the food and overall experience.

Very misleading when it comes to reservations. I was told that my table is ready and it was given after 40 minutes later. Yet, they still have audacity to tell me last call is in 25 mins when usually the experience is 2 hours. I was on waiting line for two hours and having to include waiting at the restaurant was total of 3.5 hours. Organization mist be considered. Overall, amazing food but extremely disappointing service.

Place was amazing first time trying a place like this very good experience and great helpful staff. Nami was amazing as our server always kept us up with food and drinks along with his helpful pointers to popular options. Super considerate to dietary restrictions as well beginning with asking us about any of our restrictions as he went through the menu with us.

This place is absolutely packed full, especially on the weekends. Be prepared to waitlist ahead of time, as wait time sky-rockets to approx. 1-1.5hrs especially past 5:30pm. Checking in is an absolute nightmare as there is not enough space on the front waiting area, so everyone is left standing packed like sardines; I wish they would consider expanding the lobby or rearranging their check in process. With that said, I always seem to come back every single time as their food and service are absolutely amazing. The servers are very courteous, friendly and do their absolute best to provide exemplary service; every time I ve been, I was always very satisfied with the service provided. Their menu also consists of a wide range of different flavours, and a variety of protein, my favourites are the miso steak, sweet soy short rib and sausage. Overall, would highly recommend to try out! But maybe not during the dinner rush

I used to frequent this place because it reminded me of Japanese yakiniku restaurants, but after some frustrating experiences with their reservation system and customer service, I won t be going back. I dislike waiting for long periods, so I always join the waitlist, but the system is terrible. Even when there are 15 parties ahead of us, we suddenly receive a notification that it s our turn and are told to arrive within five minutes. Despite the abrupt notice, if you can t make it within five minutes, your reservation is canceled, and you re forced to wait again for a long time. It also seems that the quality of the staff has declined compared to before. The staff present today ignored us even when we were right in front of them and prioritized serving the customers they preferred. In a Japanese restaurant, they would never pretend not to notice a customer who has just walked in.

We went for dinner with a group of 5 on Friday. Luckily we got on the waitlist early and only waited around 20 minutes. By the time we got seated, the waitlist grew to 2 hours. So come early or get a reservation with at least 6 people. The service is quick and prompt but they do rush you to try to seat as many tables as they can. We ordered some of everything and the meats came quickly. The offer grill changes frequently. The meat quality is typically good at Gyubee. The bimbambap is not bad and cold noodles are refreshing. The creme brulee was good but the soft serve ice cream was too grainy. I would come again with a reservation and to fill up on the meats

Gyubee Japanese Grill offers a fantastic dining experience for anyone who loves Japanese BBQ. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, with a modern interior and a warm, welcoming vibe. The highlight is the all-you-can-eat concept, where you can grill high-quality cuts of meat, seafood, and vegetables right at your table. The beef options, especially the short ribs and ribeye, are flavorful and tender, while the seafood is fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service is quick and attentive, with staff ensuring the grill is clean and orders are promptly brought to your table. The variety of dipping sauces adds to the experience, letting you customize each bite. The price is reasonable, given the quality and unlimited nature of the menu. They even provided a crème brûlée as a special for us even thought we got the lunch menu.

Despite their inconvenient reservation system for big groups I keep going back to this place because of the food. The meet is always fresh and well seasoned the veggies and side dishes are also good and they are generous with the portions As a all you can eat place it is a really good option for a group of 4 but for big groups they don t have enough tables also there will be a very long wait list and a delay in serving you Overall highly recommended

The waiter was super efficient~ feel the fast pace vibe in Tokyo ~ Nice food and services! All meat was great! All day menu is good for more variety of food choices. Lunch menu was mainly focusing on bbq beef. Both experiences were great! Vegetarian options: Végéterions can have small aluminum bowls for they veg only, so they are not excluded to dine with other meat eating friends. Wheelchair accessibility: Not all seats but at least some tables are wide in width so wheelchair people could sit on their wheelchair as the aisle looks wide to allow small wheelchairs passing by.

This restaurant was an amazing experience, it wasn t my first time eating there and the experience was even better my second time. I had gone around 8pm which was rush hour and there was an hour wait for a table of 4, I was okay with waiting since they are constantly getting tables. The best part was we didn t even wait that long, we had 40 tables infront of us and we were able to get a table in 30 minutes. They were very organized and notified us right away when our table was ready. When getting to our table everything was very neat and tidy and our server came to our table right away to greet us, her name was Yuna she got our drinks in the matter of two minutes and I order many options for me and my table. Last call was at 10:20 and she was able to grab us everything even right before last call to satisfy our stay. She was the sweetest serried and took care of us so we had the best experience there, it was my moms birthday and my mom was absolutely amazed with how everything turned out. It was so fun to cook our own food and stuff our faces with everything they brought to our table. Our server was so sweet and genuinely made our day, if you want the best experience come check this restaurant out. It s all you can eat and ask for YUNA she is such a bomb server!!! I will definitely be bringing everybody here and will always ask for Yuna every time!!! It is not that pricy and you can honestly eat so much. There service was amazing and food was served amazing. The dessert was also so good!!! Yuna you did an amazing job serving our table of 4, keep it upp!!!
