We have enjoyed both Japanese and Korean bbq places around the world and loved our experience at…read moreGyubee. There's no reservation system but they do have a waitlist on Yelp which gets you in line (highly recommended). First to know is you can't pay with credit card here--there's an ATM in the front of the restaurant. As far as the restaurant goes, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our table of 4 was seated and serviced by 1 main staff member, Lydia, who talked us through the whole menu and ordering system, recommended some great starts and then kept us frequently updated all throughout dinner. She checked up on us along with her assistants who were also bringing items and servicing the table. The food quality was excellent with juicy and flavorful cuts of beef along with the shrimp, pork, veggies, side dishes/ponchon, and rice--it kept coming consistently. Grill changes were frequent as well. The atmosphere is lively and there are a lot of servers so you aren't trying get someone's attention all the time. But it doesn't feel too cramped at the same time. As it is AYCE, everyone in our group left full of course and enjoyed each course. I liked the almond tofu at the end! ----TL;DR---- Pros: great selection of meats, quality was top notch, huge portions of course as it is AYCE, service was prompt and all staff were really friendly. Cons: no reservations so need to be on a waitlist. The no credit card system is a bit of an inconvenience. Bottom Line: we loved it--definitely would go back again and enjoy more of their selections! You have to try them if you like meat and AYCE!

Gyubee Japanese Grill is a spot that makes the dining experience feel interactive and social, with…read moreJapanese style BBQ where you cook the meats right at the table. We walked into a lively, casual space that works especially well for groups, celebrations, or any meal where you want to take your time and enjoy the experience. The energy in the room is high, with the sound of grilling and conversation filling the space, and the table setup encourages a longer, more relaxed pace than a typical restaurant meal. The biggest highlight is the meat selection. The quality is consistently strong, with different cuts and marinades that give each plate its own flavor. The miso steak is one of the standout items, with a really good balance of savory, slightly sweet, and rich flavors. The marinated meats are where Gyubee really shines, coming seasoned well and developing a great char from grilling at the table. We worked through a range of options including kalbi, hanger steak, and sausage, mixing and matching as we went. The fun part is being able to control the cooking yourself, whether you prefer a lighter sear or a deeper grilled flavor, and the grill setup makes it easy to cook at your own pace. The sides and extras are also better than what we usually expect from an all you can eat BBQ spot. The sushi was surprisingly enjoyable, with smaller portions that made it easy to try different rolls without filling up too quickly. The bibimbap is another good addition, especially when paired with the grilled meats. Takoyaki and other sides helped break up the meal and added variety beyond just ordering meat after meat. The spread is broad enough that you can build a well rounded meal without feeling like you are stuck in a single category. Service was a strong part of the experience. Even with the restaurant being busy, the staff were attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we had what we needed. They kept the table moving, helped with ordering, and made the process feel smooth despite the constant flow of guests. The wait can be the biggest challenge, especially during dinner hours, but the service once seated helped make up for it. The staff also handled the high turnover of tables well, keeping the pace steady without making us feel rushed. Gyubee is one of those places where the experience is just as important as the food. The combination of grilling at the table, quality meats, good sides, and a fun group atmosphere makes it a great choice for a longer meal with friends or family. It is worth planning ahead for the wait because the meal itself delivers the kind of relaxed, interactive dining experience that makes you want to come back. The format encourages you to slow down, cook at your own pace, and enjoy the meal as a shared activity rather than just a quick dinner.

Best bbq in the city! Been going to Beach Hill throughout the years and I'm always impressed by the…read morequality and tastiness of their meats. My favourite is the burnt ends, which has a sweet smoky taste to them. But other offerings are great too, from the really tender brisket, to the glistening pork belly, the creamy potato salad, and a peach cobbler that grandma would approve. If you're in the mood for a no-frills-all-thrills texas bbq, Beach Hill is then place to go.

Really disappointing experience…read more I placed a $200+ Uber Eats order for myself and guests on a Friday night, expecting a reliable dinner from a BBQ restaurant. Instead, I waited over an hour with no update. When I finally called the restaurant to check on the order, I was casually told that it had been cancelled because they ran out of food. The problem is that no one bothered to notify me. No message in the app, no call -- nothing. I was simply left waiting for over an hour for an order they apparently already knew they couldn't fulfill. What made it worse was the attitude on the phone. The person I spoke with was rude and dismissive, with no apology or attempt to make the situation right. Now I'm told the refund could take up to 10 business days to return to my credit card. Running out of food happens. Ignoring a $200+ order for over an hour on a Friday night and then being rude to the customer is unacceptable. Plenty of better BBQ options in the city -- I won't be ordering from here again.

Always a fun time at gyubee. Even though we had a…read morereservation, we had to wait almost 45 minutes after for our table Me and my girlfriend saw that the downtown location has sushi so we were excited to give it a try We ordered one of each sushi and they were average to below average the sauce is on the sushi were a bit watered down so I had a very bland taste to it. The meat has always at gyubee is very good well marbled good seasoning. But the chicken wings are always so good! Crispy and very flavorful I don't know if it was just the tables around us, but it was very loud with people talking. So it was hard for us to talk to each other without speaking up. Overall, I don't think it's worth it to come to this location specifically for the sushi but it's nice that it's there.

very fresh meet for grilling, various side dishes available and with good quality LOVE ITread more

Love this location of the popular Korean BBQ chain!…read more Super friendly service from all members of staff; clean and spacious restaurant to fit all group sizes. We got the pork belly and the beef short rib plus drinks and steamed rice. All the side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed salad, corn cheese, egg, lettuce, garlic, potato salad, etc.) are refillable except the complimentary soup and the glass noodles. It's a great place to go if you are hungry! The meat portions are very reasonable and more than enough, I recommend you go with a group and order 1-2 portions of meat per person, so you can share and try the different cuts of meat. Washrooms downstairs, inaccessible.

I really like Benny's barbecue. I've been there twice this week. I have never had barbecue turkey…read morebefore. Here I had it in a sandwich. It was moist, smoky and delicious. It served that soft round sweet bun reminiscent of Chick-fil-A. The brisket barbecue beans are exactly that. Barbecue beans, with a slight spice to it and some big chunks of brisket. Yum! The brisket sandwich is also excellent. They asked if I wanted it in slices or chopped and I had it chopped and loved it. The barbecue sauce is more in the ketchup beside, but that's fine. Coleslaw is OK. The serving of cornbread is small for the price. They don't serve barbecue chicken, which I found surprising but I love the brisket and the turkey and will be going back for more! And the guys working, they are very friendly.

Made a reservation here upon recommendation from my daughter who loves it here…read more The staff greeted my compañero and me immediately on entering (there is a long stairway to climb after entering). The booths are quite private and the ambience is relaxed and downscaled. No pretentiousness here! Our server,MJ, was bubbly, fun, and attentive. We ordered beef short ribs and beef tenderloin. There were multiple sides that came with dinner. See pictures. The food was amazing. We finished absolutely everything. I must say that the service is speedy and it's not a wining/dining experience. They don't have desserts. It's great for a preconcert dinner though. We will be back.

We stopped by this restaurant because they had a gluten free and dairy free Tom Yum Soup but we…read morewere not impressed. The ambiance is really casual and nothing too fancy. The service was ok. I felt like it took a really long time to get our orders. My husband ordered the Pad Khi Mao Spicy Noodles with no spice, shrimp and chicken and he enjoyed his dish. He said it tasted really good but the portion size was small and he was still hungry afterwards. I ordered the XL Tom Yum Soup and it would definitely not serve 3-4 people as a full meal as advertised. It was almost equivalent to a large bowl at my favourite restaurant for Tom Yum Soup and it was $10 more expensive. The soup also tasted extra tangy or sour. I did not love the soup and it didn't settle my upset stomach. I would give the soup 3 out of 5 stars. Would we return? It is not likely we would return to this restaurant. We have lots of other Thai restaurants we prefer.
