253 King St N, Waterloo, ON N2J 2Y8, Canada
loved the variety of meats we could get. it’s always fun coming here with friends and trying everything on the menu. the side dishes are quite good as well. love getting the buttered corn and sweet potatoes. the crème brûlées are the best dessert, in my opinion, but the soft serve is also a nice treat (although it’s a tad icy).
This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The food was high quality and delicious while the service exceeded our expectations. We opted for the all day menu and we are glad we did as the selections were excellent. Food started arriving to our table within 30 seconds of ordering and service remained quick and consistent throughout. We felt as though we could eat at a comfortable pace within the seating time limit. Service went above and beyond as we never waited long for any of our selections, extra water or dessert. They even changed our grill multiple times to make sure it stayed clean and nothing stuck. We would highly recommend this dining experience to anyone looking for something different and delicious. We will definitely be back!
I was meaning to check this place out since it opened as I've heard good things about Gyubee in general. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. This restaurant is a prime example of how poor service can ruin the best of foods. Everything on the menu was superb and exactly what you expect from an all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ place, variety in selection, and good meat, but when it comes to the presentation of these awesome things, Gyubee Waterloo fails miserably. From the first moment that you enter, they give you this feeling that hey, two hours and you're done, they keep on reminding you this and that is not a nice feeling to have. Adding to this is the fact that the service and the time that you need to wait for a server to you is absurdly long, I waited for 30 minutes for a glass of water and when you order food, they don't care who's ordered it, they just randomly place dishes on the table. I had no idea what they were and no explanation was given. And don't let me get started on the lack of verbal communication, they actively show that they have no interest in you enjoying the food, and they just want your money. The nail in the coffin for me however, were two things. first of all, they couldn't split a bill, in here, that is basically just a simple division and the other one is the fact that they only accept debit cards or cash, and no credit cards. Unfortunately, until they fix their poor and lackluster service, train people who work here to make people feel better about their experience, and accept credit cards, I won't return and will wholeheartedly discourage anyone from coming here.
Gyubee means all you can eat in Japanese ! It is conveniently located in King Street. I want to try Yakiniku BBQ for a very long time. My dream has finally came true last week. Staffs are very friendly and professional. Foods are very nice ! I highly recommend people coming here if you love Japanese BBQ.
It was my first time. And we went to lunch on Saturday. Lunch started at 11:30am so we arrived at 11:40am. They only can make reservations for over 6 people. So, we just got there. There were only a few groups. But, when we left it was 2/3 of seat are filled customers. I ate too much meat... And almost everything had fatty meat. So, when I left the restaurant it was heartburn already. But, they have chicken thighs, shrimp and veggies. So, if you eat more those stuff then not going to like my feelings. They have 3 different rolls. It was so good! And I love deep fried rice cake and ube ice cream cone. I love ube taste. It was the first time cone but so good! The restaurant was so clean and staff kind too.
Amazing AYCE BBQ. The service was fantastic, our server frequently checked in on us, very speedy. Everything was quite delicious, and our orange fizzy juice was great. The pineapples are very sweet, meat marinated well.
We came in to dine as a family to celebrate my birthday. We were sat quickly (which was lucky because we saw how busy the dinner rush can be! Literally a pile up at the front door). All of our food came to the table quickly and was well seasoned. Our servers Alex and Yoon were super friendly and attentive. Our table was quickly bussed and our grill was changed multiple times. Thank you for an awesome dinner! We will be back!
There was a lot seating available and all the seats were fairly private from one another. We were greeted and seated immediately as we walked in. The dinner menu was very large and had high quality meats. All the food was delicious, and there were always servers available ready to help us out (taking away empty plates, taking orders). It was a very filling and delicious meal, and the servers were all very friendly! We came back and tried the sushi rolls and Taro ice cream which we haven’t seen at other gyubee locations. The sushi was surprisingly very good with fresh fish and torched sauces. The taro ice cream was also amazing!
Great service, atmosphere and food
Great portions! Yummy foods and lots of flavour options for meat! Not Halal. Dinner menu has more options and includes all of the seafood items like clams, shrimp, salmon, and more. Though portions of lettuce need to be bigger. Do not recommend the salmon sushi tastes little weird. The avocado and unagi ones were good. Staff were mostly there, waiter didn t smile but we got our stuff! Everything was good. Washrooms are smaller than I thought. Decently clean. Can only get one ice cream per person. So get an ice cream and crème brûlée before you leave for dessert and bring it home :)
Shoutout Jade she crushing it great services
Gyubee has become a typical spot for my friends and I to enjoy a great meal, foods awesome and the people there are super nice too. Special shout out to Wade for the incredible service!
Went yesterday, joined the waiting list and it honestly went by pretty quick. Server was friendly and helpful. Everything was fresh and tasted great. 8.9/10. Found restaurant to be really cold and bathrooms to be very dirty, only downside.
JoT is very good , she take care of me very well 10/10
I visited Gyubee Japanese Grill in Waterloo for lunch today and opted for their all-day menu, which offered a wide range of grill options. While the variety was impressive, I found the pricing for kids to be quite unreasonable. Even for adults, the overall cost seemed high compared to other similar dining experiences. During our meal, we encountered an issue with two of the meat plates that had strands of hair on them. This appeared to be a hygiene oversight, possibly because none of the staff had their hair covered. I raised the concern with the manager, who responded promptly and addressed the situation. I also suggested that employees handling food and interacting with customers should wear hair coverings to avoid such problems in the future. Overall, while Gyubee wasn t a bad experience, it didn t quite match up to my expectations. Personally, I still prefer the Korean BBQ restaurant located in the same area, which offers better value for the quality and price.
Overpriced and they don t accept credit cards
Good taste!
Site says it opens at 11:30, The sticker on the door says 11:30, but when we got there it was locked and lights off. We then called and there was a recording saying they were closed. Then we checked Google and it said 12pm. Seriously?
A good place to enjoy japanese BBQ. Staff are quick and friendly. Would recommend.
THEY DONT ACCOMMODATE TO ALLERGIES AND RELIGIOUS NEEDS :(
Service is inconsistent every visit, food however is pretty good.
Id recommend going for any of their thin slice offerings. Thats where the flavors at. Especially anything with miso on it.
jada is very friendly! Good service, a pleasant meal
Meat dishes were good quality, fresh and well seasoned. Spinach and tofu side dishes were a delight. Rice cake a bit of bland. Dessert options not as many as the Toronto locations. Staff was friendly. Overall positive dining experience.
WADE IS THE GOAT
Came here for lunch with a large group of people, service was amazing and the food was really good! Our server, Wade, took our orders quickly and brought everything out almost instantly. He consistently checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed and was really attentive. Super friendly and hospitable, definitely elevated our dining experience! :)
The food was amazing, they have a very good variety of meats to choose from, would love to see a few more vegetable options. nice atmosphere and friendly/fast service. Will definetely be going again sometime.
Quick service, friendly staff, good food. The only things i dont love is that you can only pay with cash or debit and the whole group needs to be there before you can sit
Never go to this restaurant at main dinner time (17:00~21:00) Whatever you order, You get food really late or didn t get the food or get the wrong one Server will not come to your seat for help I didn t get the food more than half time of this 2 hour limit of All you can eat restaurant Worst service of this year
Edit: I saw the google page claimed this to be 40~50, how dare they???? We ended up paying 57 per person. They basically enforced you pay 15% tips (fair enough honestly since many issues caused their servers really tired running all the time, respect.) --- The price is not aligned with their food or service. One has to call loudly to get their grill (an iron web or something, usually getting dark and disgusting very quickly) changed. Servers really would love to come interrupt customers conversation for some meaningless questions. Also the ingredients provided are so limited, its basically one small bottle of spice along with a soy sauce. The quality of meat is fair just like any other grills. How come one spent near 60 cad for this?
This is my first time trying Japanese bbq and it definitely won t be my last. The food was great because you cook it yourself but the sauces are really tasty. The soups and other dishes besides the meat also slap. I had 4 crème brûlée and an ice cream. Everything was delicious. It is pricy but well worth it once in a while. Come with friends or come with your appetite you ll be satisfied. The service is great as well with the staff coming by very routinely and often (shout out Jot:)
Amazing experience at GYUBEE, our server Jot was the best!!
Amazing food and jot was a great server!
We booked for our daughter birthday . The food was great , our server Joy was very friendly and polite. We will come back
Great experience at gyubee! The food arrived super fast, was super tasty, and overall atmosphere was fantastic! Big thanks to Alex for being a great server
Great customer service from Joy & Jolina. Food was really great and 1 of the best foods in waterloo.
very nice
Jot and Joline provide good service! nice food and nice people
amazing meal and amazing service! thank you jot!!
Amazing experience, incredibly clean and efficient service. Jot was our server and she was so kind and accommodating! Dietary restrictions: Great accommodations for allergies.
Gorgeous Gyubee Grills Gelatinize Giblets and I Gulp Them Down. A great restaurant. Incredible service - thank you Jade! The food comes out practically instantly. Highly recommend the lunch menu, which is $10 or so cheaper than dinner, and still has all the best options. The miso-marinated steak is just absolutely beyond life changing. When it comes to all-you-can-eat, its really quite nice.
thanks for jade everything is great
Jade was our waitress she gave us an incredible service. Food was good.
Thank you Jot You made me a perfect lunch Food
Jot provided excellent service
A lovely meal. Jade was a great help to my wife with selection and showing how to use the grill. Very personable wait staff. Food : 5/5
Jade who served us dinner was very professional and attentive, thank you Jade! Let s have a pleasant dinner experience Parking: Parking is very convenient in the small square right in front of the hotel.
Me and my family had a really nice time here, the decor made the atmosphere feel really clean and comfortable, the food was amazing everything was so fresh and our server Jade was super quick and polite being the best server we ve had here. Thanks so much for providing a good experience for us!
Just dont understand why people love grill so much. Its nothing but putting the meat on the fire.
Good service from Jot
thanks jade very kindly and attentive
Jade is the best server in Canada Kid-friendliness: Wheelchair accessibility:
Went there as a party of 5. Everything was pretty good. Jade was very nice and took care of us well. Food : 5/5
Gyubee is always amazing. No matter which location. This one in particular has Lauren, though. She was a pleasure. AMAZINGLY attentive. Super sweet, kind and, great overall.
Food is always great but this review is for the excellent service from our waitress, Jade. She was super attentive and very pleasant!
Food was amazing, our server Jade was so sweet and very helpful. Planning on coming back many times!
Jade s service was good, she provided us a perfect night!
Wonderful meal toning and thanks Jade s perfect serve
Jade today was very caring and the service was attentive. Service is quick and always with a smile. The overall dining experience was pleasant, thank you to her
Excellent cost-effective dinner, the meat is also very impressive, Jade s service is very good
A very good dining experience, thank you Jade
Phone number does not work. Goes in an automated loop and hasnt been fixed for a long time.
Joblina is very nice , best place
Having been to several Gyubees in the GTA, this location is a worthy addition. As per the rest of the chain, a meat lovers paradise with a good variety of side dishes that allows for a pleasant break from a constant stream of grilled meats. In this instance, the sushi rolls are quite delicious. Service from the staff matches the quality of the food. Parking: If going for lunch on a weekend, parking in the back is ok.
Jade is very nice. Choose her to serve
Amazing and wonderful hospitality and service from Ben! Would recommend all my friends to this place solely because of the amazing experience provided by Ben. I came here two weeks ago and Ben kept on making sure that our table was taken care of and regularly helped us whilst helping others!!
We were visiting Waterloo from Vancouver and have had both Korean and Japanese bbq many, many times. This was our first time at a Gyubee. We had the all you can eat bbq. While the food was as good as similar restaurants in Vancouver, the service we received from Haaresh was outstanding!! He greeted us warmly, asked us if we were familiar with bbq and how to order. After taking our initial, he returned frequently to our table to ask us if we wanted to order more. This was a very pleasant and refreshing change from many AYCE restaurants where you either have to chase the server to order more food or you don t get your complete order. Haaresh s attentive, efficient and professional service deserves recognition!
Best gyubee location I have been to. Foood always came when we finished. Jade gave excellent customer service
It feels very comfortable to eat. Jades service is very good and she always takes care of our needs. Thank you very much for her service.
Had an amazing time here, Jade was our server today and she was very friendly, very appropriate pricing and definitely a new favourite spot in the area!
We came here to eat meat! And we did. The food is served Rae and you cook it yourself. It was an amazing dining experience. Our server Jade was amazing and made sure everything was to our satisfaction Cant wait to come back
good food. long wait times tho
The ingredients are fresh and very delicious, and Jades service is very professional, thoughtful and attentive. Will recommend to friends.
Jade served us and she was delightful and very professional. we had a wonderful time here and would love to come again. thank you
Our server is Jade . She is amazing! I bring a friend to have lunch . My friend is very happy.
Lauren is the sweetest server ever! Amazing food and service. Would 100% recommend a life changing meal
Food tastes good, although management can be a bit nicer towards patrons. Granted there s a lot of students who can be very rude. But please do not carry that energy to everybody.
Absolutely worth it. You will have an amazing.
This is the good place to spend the family time. There are good quality foods and services. Ivy is really nice server.
I had a great time at Gyubee Japanese Grill in Waterloo. The meats were fresh and tasty, and grilling at the table was fun. Our server, Ivy, was super friendly and made sure we got everything we needed quickly. The sides, like kimchi and salad, were good too. Overall, it s a fun spot with good food, and Ivy s service made the experience even better. I d definitely recommend it!
They have sushi rolls. Sushi rolls are really the best. Sushi rolls are not in other Gyubi branches. The meat is delicious and the staff is friendly.
Our new favorite restaurant in KW!!! Will definitely go there back many times.
Great. Fast seating. Fast service.
Solid place for Korean bbq. Even if it says Japanese
Been here a couple of times, the food was delicious, with good quality meats and a variety of options, a little less than the Markham one though. Our server John was handsome and attentive, great experience overall!
Good food and good service!! Parking: Parking lot behind the building Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. The wait staff didnt even blink seeing the mess the baby made!!
Very nice place. Overall an easy 5 stars, however my mom is hearing and visually impaired and it is slightly loud in the restaurant. There also isnt much room for a service dog if you were to need and bring one. 10/10 food and service though! Thank you all
Great for families with affordable prices and good amount of food
First time having an AYCE bbq in Canada and I must say that i am impressed. The night started off and continued with great service from Jot and Ashley, who were happy to provide us constant service and check ups through the meal, and were quick with any request or grill change we may have had! The food was great too, a vast selection of meats to choose from, we must have tried one of everything and it was all great, Id certainly recommend the sushi, miso pork belly, and shrimp more than anything, but anything youd pick would be a great choice. I will say, I would have loved the sushi to have more of a charred flavour and think it would really add to the black rolls! Despite having a packed house, everything was executed efficiently and very well!
Food is good. A little pricey but if you can eat a lot of food then it s worth it once in a while. It s an experience cooking your own food but maybe a bit overrated..
Decent Gyubee, this is the third location Ive eaten at. Consistent with the other chain location.
Not a very good experience, every time I ordered something, it was always missing. Not very recommended. Im afraid that customers will eat it, so if I cant afford it, I wont open it. So disgusting. I dont even give you more soup. The service industry is also very poor. The baking tray has not been replaced from beginning to end.
We are delighted to visited this place the food was absolutely delicious, service was fast and the staffs are polite and. attentive. Wll definitely come back in this location.
Nothing to complain about food. You get what you paid for with decent quality. What I dont understand is compulsory tips at 15% for 6 people and above. This is self-serviced barbeque. There is no additional service for bigger group and we were even placed at 2 grillers with 2 different hostesses. Food
Lived up to the hype. Have been twice, the first time we made the mistake of not joining the waitlist (which you can do right on Google) so we had to wait a bit for a table. Theres a reason why its so busy because its THAT good. Service is fantastic, the meat is great quality and theres enough on the menu for folks who dont want to BBQ (but why wouldnt you?). Looking forward to re-visiting.
Great food, phenomenal price (for AYCE), *lightning* fast and attentive service, cute wait staff is a bonus Ill definitely be frequenting this place and bringing friends too. Vegetarian options: Grilled vegetables, noodles, rice
Goood service and amazing food!
I am extremely disappointed with the food quality at this store. Last night, my friend and I had dinner here, and shortly after, we both experienced nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. When the staff brought the food to our table, the meat was particularly concerning it appeared dark, felt sticky, and was clearly spoiled. The pineapple was also sticky and had a strong, unpleasant odor. This is completely unacceptable, and when I called the manager, she only said our symptom is caused by the food we ate the day before last night even two days before, causing somewhat Chemical Symptom and she and the staff in this store clearly have already learnt how to shirk their responsiblity regarding their food quality. Avoid this place at all costs. The manager is incredibly rude and ridiculously irresponsible. When I called to report the food issues, she arrogantly claimed that they are a licensed restaurant and insisted their food has never had any problems. This dismissive attitude is unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this restaurant.
Enjoyed it thoroughly and good selection of food !
Food was well seasoned/marinated, delicious and the service was sensational!
Essentially on par with Toronto Korean/Japanese BBQ standards. Restaurant is clean, staff is very proactive and friendly. Debit or cash only. Limited time only kids special ($4.99, under 4 years old kids eat free) and only at Waterloo location. Parking: Some parking behind the storefront. If it gets super busy Id be worried but for lunch service on a weekend parking was sufficient.
Loved this place! For food was DELICIOUS and the staff were quick and efficient! My husband and I went for dinner and it was such a delight.
They have the poster in front of their store charge free for kids 0-4, and we double check with the waiter that our 10 month old girl is free. Did not check the bill when we paid, BUT found they charged our baby when we home. How could a 10 month baby eat their food? Cheap and dishonesty!
Came here for my birthday dinner and it was amazing! It was our first time here, and our server Andy made us feel welcome right away, showing us how to best cook our meats, and recommending excellent choices. However, he was not overbearing at all, with just the right amount of service. Quality of meat is also great, with a decently wide selection. Overall a wonderful experience!
had the dinner menu with all you can drink, the food came fast and fresh, the server, Andy, was absolutely amazing and made everything 11/10, would definitely be back!
The food is delicious, and Server Andy provides great service!
I want personally say thank to Wade that gave me and my friends the best service ever! Great place, grate food and good vibes!
Very Korean style bbq, excellent beef
Service is just horrible. The first time we came here, the girl told us to wait and blatantly ignored us the entire time we were waiting and helped other customers. When we asked her again, she told us there was no longer any tables left. The 2nd time (whoever the lady is at the front counter May 28th 7:00pm) made it such a huge deal that we had less people on our initial reservation. Going on about how it s unfair for other people but she fixed it so quickly by simply sliding down a separate blind to split the table.. I get it, you want to ensure efficiency in business flow. But treating us like it was in our control that people in our reservation had last minute emergencies is purely unprofessional and inconsiderate as well. The waitresses and waiters were very kind and quick which alleviated the groups dampened mood. I ve always had amazing service here so I m shocked to have run across this.
Server Haaresh was very kind, friendly and accomodating! Food was great and we really enjoy everything. Thank you
Great food and great atmosphere.
Highly recommended! Great menu options with new recent additions. Their drink menu is awesome and our favorite is the pineapple juice pitcher! Fair prices especially for children ages 12 under. They eat essentially for free. Although, I think this is only a limited time promotional offer. We were a family of 4 with two children ages 4 and 5 and our bill came to about $100 with tax. Service is very quick and attentive. It is a must try!
This restaurant says they re allergy friendly on Uber eats but didn t accommodate my allergies on the order. This is fine when it s not possible but they also waited awhile to call me and inform me and also made me cancel on their end and wouldn t cancel them self. I almost didn t get a refund.
So good! Haaresh was very friendly and service/food was incredible!
We dined in today as a group of 10 people and had a blast of an experience. Foods and atmosphere were amazing as expected. We got served by 2 servers Richard and Lee, both of them were very nice and professional. Would definitely come back for more!!
Actual wait time is a lot longer than the one appears on yelp
Food was phenomenal. We liked that there were more protein options than some other grill places. It s a fun option for an AYCE. Staff are wonderful and handled the big group with ease.
I learned this place opened up in December 2023 so I was excited to check it out. The food is fantastic. I love that you can order a wide variety of meat, sides, and other food while being able to grill it to taste. We did ask our server to turn up the heat from medium to high so we can cook faster. Service was great as it was easy to flag someone down and keep ordering additional items. They have a 2 hour limit for all-you-can-eat. Drinks were reasonably priced for a pitcher. They dont accept credit cards so make sure you bring a debit card or enough cash. I would like to see them accept credit cards in the future considering their prices. On a weekend, it was $43.99 per adult before drinks. Parking is somewhat difficult in this plaza but we were able to find a spot in the back.
Andy and Lee were very kind to me throughout the entire time, and the waiting time for the food was incredibly short. Would recommend
Ive been to this restaurant several times, both alone and with large groups, and Ive always enjoyed the atmosphere. The service is attentive and warm, and the raw meat for the grill is fresh with a wide variety of options. The prices are reasonable. Thumbs up!
We ve visited this place today, to celebrate my wife s birthday and it was definitely amazing! My daughter, my wife and I. Definitely recommend this place and I am certainly going back. Our new spot! Salmon sushi & Nagoya Style Chicken Wings. Try them!
This was our first time dining at Gyubee. We went with another couple and had a great time. The food is superb! We recommend the marinated steak and sushi. All of the food was impressive from the esthetics to the taste. The atmosphere inside is beautiful. The table and grill are well designed and preparing food was enjoyable. Our server Haaresh provided great service. He kept our drinks topped up and kept the orders coming right until it was time to leave. The appetizers are enticing, the main course is hard to have enough of and the sweets are a chefs kiss. Great work Gyubee, we will always consider dining when in the area especially with multiple locations to choose from! Vegetarian options: Vegetables Parking: Good parking
Excellent food and service! Only that the sauce on menu is too salty.
We went there last week and the miso marinated beef was our favourite! The service was nice except that they tend to slow down with serving near the end. But overall it is a great restaurant to visit to eat meat!!
Great food and very fun experience! Food was served fast, but they seemed to get mixed up quite a bit and would forget items or bring the wrong one sometimes, still a nice experience though!
The best samgyeopsal for me in Ontario.
The space is nice and modern, and is kept clean. The staff are attentive and quick, and even sweet. The food is excellent. All you can eat creme brulee!!! Ill be back for sure.
Oh my goodness. My friends and I went for dinner. It was fantastic. I never ate so much food, in my life. The meat was excellent, lots of vegetables, sushi was good and the atmosphere was good. Im coming back some day soon.
Loved this place so much. Never been to a Japanese grill before Gyubee. But this was a great experience. Next time I am coming I want to try a bottle of the pear sake. The miso steak is amazing and loved the brisket. So many good options on the menu. Excited to come back.
Everything is very good. High quality meat, big portions. Worth to try it out! Michael offered a great service too! Definitely coming back Food
Wade was amazing, give him raise please !
We had a party of 5, 1 vegetarian and the lady at the front refused to give us a table with a second grill. Disappointed in their ability to accommodate dietary restrictions. They had plenty of empty tables when we came early. We also had to consistently go out of our way to find a service person to order every time.
Food is very good David is very nice
wonderful meal to have with friends. Eat as much as you want!
Will be much appreciated for Allen s service
Our server Wade was very kind, accommodating and friendly. Food was great! I would definitely come back again!
Fantastic food and service, would happily visit again. Atmosphere is loud but its not enough to detract from the experience
staff was super friendly and very quick. Lauren was our server and she was so nice and adorable! The menu had a wide variety and their creme brûlée are the best here after dinner
Great place and without a doubt one of my fav places to eat in the region. One thing that I didnt agree with was that we went out for my brother in laws bday last weekend with 6 people and we couldnt do separate bills and the total was well over $300 and one person had to take it. Didnt make much sense at all and I found the reason to be very pointless. I havent eaten at an all you can eat where it was like that. Its not fair for anyone if you asked me and I feel that needs to change. So if you plan on going with a group I strongly suggest you bring enough cash
Perfect.
The food and value were excellent. The service, however, could have been more cordial and efficient. It can be somewhat chaotic with staff serving meats and clearing tables. I wonder if tablet ordering would be a viable solution. I would also appreciate the option to make traditional reservations. Additionally, its worth noting that they do not accept credit cards.
if we had a sixth star we d give it to JEFF!! such good service we loved it:)
Even the peach soda I made today has no peach taste at all, and is no different from ordinary soda water.
nbws marinated meat tastes really good and the service is great. I will definitely come again.
Worst food ever and the variety is a joke , legit nothing on the menu and overpriced . I legit thought Ill walk out with food poisoning
Amazing! The service was so fast! Like we didnt have time to breathe in between orders.... Isnt that what you would want in an AYCE?? The food was so tasty. Flavour are on point and the staff is very friendly. BTW..... Their smokeless grill technology allows us to visit and eat there for 2 hours and smell better than a fresh babys bottom after a wash. I hated going to any BBQ place because it made you smell like a person leaving a night club in the 90s.... Not quite, but you get the hint haha.
Amazing food and service!! Highly recommend!!!!!
server David is crazy good
Out of 3 of the Gyubee locations I ve been to, this is by far the best one!! I didn t take any pictures because we were so hungry we devoured everything. The food was sooo delicious and service was absolutely amazing. When we ordered, the food came out very quickly and the staff always ensured we had everything we needed. They were very friendly and attentive. Especially Jasmine, shout out to her for being the best server!!! We will be back again very soon, thank you Jasmine!
Loved the food and also my server , her name is jasmine good service
It was interesting, however one has to pay attention not to order too much at one time, because the staff will bring everything almost at once leaving almost no space on the table to even put your hands on. I guess they should limit themselves to bring for a BBQ one or two plates at a time, to have a queue of items ordered and bring them at a more humane rate, instead of everything at once. Also, they advertised the crème brulée using the picture of what one can buy at Costco as crème brulée, and what you get is a tiny, puny thing with a joke of a plastic spoon. That was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise they were very attentive and professional.
The lunch I had was a great value. The quality of the barbecue was rich. I ordered the beef ribs several times. I liked it very much. The atmosphere in the store was good. The service of server Michael was warm and thoughtful. I will come back next time if I am hungry.
Steak is good, server David is patient and nice
Came here for my birthday and the food was amazing. Definitely recommend. The menu has variety and the food comes out very surprisingly quickly so it s hard not to want to try everything. The addition of sushi is especially amazing. I ve gotten sushi at many places and this is easily tied for first. Our server Ellie was the cherry on top. Really great service! She had our entire table smiling from ear to ear. She really treats customers like family. You are really lucky to have staff like Ellie. 100/10 restaurant experience.
Recommend 100%!!! Ive been to mississauga gyubee, but i think this place has better quality of meat! Pepper beef was good quality, and all the other meat was all decent. I remember toronto ones had such a great servers, but food wasnt that good. But this ones food was sooo good. They have eel and salmon tempura shrimp roll and they are both so so good. Its almost star sushi quality. Takoyaki was so good to. Their grill is way stronger than mississauga one as well. It really absorb all the fire and smoke so it was so good. Even though I think they should improve servers education. My server didnt come by too much so we had to wait to order even though we eat our table all. And he gave us three jalapeños at a time so we had to order too many times. I will 100% come back. Coke was $3, and free refill. I went lunch 28.99 +tax. On holidays lunch price goes high as 31.
Gyubees Japanese grill is a must-visit, made even better by the outstanding service from Ellie. She went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The food was delicious, and Ellies attentive yet unobtrusive service made the day perfect. Highly recommend!
nice
Jasmine is the best host you can find in town. Excellent service and fantastic food here. And again Jasmine is 12/10 :) Food : 5/5
Spent a wonderful birthday here, thanks to Jasmine for the surprise she provided. She truly is an exceptional server with excellent service!

It s really delicious, and it has to be Gyubei. Vens service is very good. I love it. Very friendly.
My boyfriend and I came here a couple months ago on a weekend at around 2pm and there was no wait, which was really nice. Our server, Lauren, was absolutely wonderful! She was so attentive and checked in on us often. She also proactively asked us if we wanted refills on side dishes or if we wanted order more food. The food came out really quickly as well. Overall, we had a great experience!
The food was great and our server Ven was amazing!
We came in right at 11:30 am to feast ayce meats for breakfast. We were served a table so quickly and everything came out literally within 30 seconds of ordering. A special thank you to Ven who made the experience so much better!
Great place and Yoon was the best server!
Amazing food, perfect service. Thanks Yoon!
One of the best all-you-can-eat barbecue places I ve ever been to. We drove an hour from GTA to eat here and it was well worth it! The menu had a wide variety of different cuts of pork and beef and everything came out so quickly and was arranged so beautifully. The quality of all the meat was fresh, juicy and everything was well marinated and delicious. Our lovely server Jane was so friendly and sweet and she made the whole meal even better. Will return soon!
First time receiving absolutely amazing service from the Waterloo location, my guy Yoon!! Give it
Food is really good and staff are great. Alina is always smiling and always check in to make sure we get our order right. Excellent service
Food was great, Yoon was awesome!!!
Amazing food, but Yoon made it better. Please give my man a raise.
We went to the place to see our friend John, unfortunately he is not there. but the food is great. Also Allen provide amazing service, really positive and friendly guy 10/10.
Everything here is an absolute 10/10. The food was fantastic, our server Yoon was so attentive and friendly, our glasses never empty, our plates were never empty, and our grill was changed often enough that we didn t have a single flare up even when we piled it high with pork belly. Amazing service, and my god amazing food. Vegetarian options: Delicious oyster mushrooms and honey potatoes
Ask for Aron, amazing Waiter and will get you what you need with quality and quantity, ask him for anything and he will give amazing customer service
I love Gyubee Japanese Grill. The food here is so good. Our server Micheal is very kind and amazing. 100% come back here!
Meat was really well marinated. It tasted amazing! Service was really good. Yang and Jane was very nice. Would definitely come back again.
One of the best grill restaurants in Waterloo, the services from Michael was also great!
We went to Gyubee for the first time this past weekend and we were blown away by the service from Yoon. He was very nice and respectful and took extra time to explain menu items to us, checked in on us frequently, and did not rush us out the door like you see at other establishments of this kind. The food was great and the restaurant was clean. We will definitely be coming back!
Our server, Hareesh, was the best! They always checked-in to make sure our needs were met and did so with a smile. They created a lovely experience for us. The food was delicious as well!
Very good service, the food is delivered quickly....it is better to come during the week, on weekends it gets slow due to the amount of people
YOON GOAT BEST SERVER!! Dope food, haven t felt this full in a solid Mississippi.
Yoon was best server, a real one, never forget, so cute. no glaze
Great food! Went for dinner and everything comes out quickly. We get a last call in the last 30 minutes of your time. I recommend the miso steak which is only available at dinner! Parking: Parking is tight, make sure you go to the back of the lots
This place is sooo good! Atmosphere and food are 10/10. Our server Allen was so helpful as it was our first time. He was so accommodating and professional, even going the extra mile to get us the very last Crème brûlées! Will be visiting again
Was pretty good food and fun experience. Allen was very friendly and fun to talk to which made the experience even nicer. Overall good time here.
