I highly recommend this gem!

It's our first time here at Tian Ya BBQ which is a decent Korean-style AYCE BBQ restaurant in Barrie. We usually go to ones in Markham and/or North York. Their fried spring rolls and scallops (4/5) were delicious with a good crisp on the outside, giving you a crunch with every bite. The spring rolls could use some more filling. The Volcano Roll was enjoyable (3.5/5). We liked how they had fried batter on the outside to elevate the texture of the dish. The cream cheese was a delight. The portions were big. The actual Korean-style BBQ was okay (3/5). The kimchi was a bit salty for us. We were hoping it would have more of the tangy, fermented taste to it as well. We liked that it was crunchy and tasted fresh. Their lettuce was also fresh. They did use iceberg lettuce instead of romaine which was different from what we regularly have at other places. We had pork, beef, beef short ribs and squid for grilling. Both the pork and beef were thinly sliced and tender. The beef short ribs were marinated well. Maybe a bit more sesame oil, garlic and ginger to the marinade mixture would really help bring out the sweetness and the umami of the meat. The cuts were okay; the meats could have been balanced with some fat/marbling to keep them juicy. We were also looking to have some ssamjang (fermented soybean paste) and sesame oil with salt to go with the meat. Overall, an okay place to go for AYCE Korean BBQ in Barrie.

Outstanding food and service - just like in all other The Keg locations we've been to. Weekends and…read moreevenings are always busy, but our walk-in wait time wasn't too long (~10 minutes). Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable in all the menu items (glad that she alerted that the pistachio-crusted roasted salmon would come with maple butter, so I could order the dish without it / put it on the side). I love that all menu items are customizable in all The Keg locations (can sub in, take out, or add certain ingredients or add-ons such as vegetables). They always have at least 1 vegetarian main dish on the menu, which tends to change every once in a while. We tried their most recent one, The Harvest Bowl, which consisted of basmati rice, falafels, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and spiced yogurt. It was alright. They provided the option of choosing how I wanted the roasted salmon to be cooked (e.g. medium, medium well, well done, etc.) - always great to have that choice. The broccoli and mixed vegetables (which I asked as a substitute for the mashed potatoes) were excellent, as always.

I substituted S&S Ribs with S&S Chicken Balls - the Chicken was dry, overcooked and chewy. The predominant taste of the Hot & Sour Soup was Cayenne. All heat, no other flavour! The Chicken Fried Rice was really greasy. The Egg Rolls were very underwhelming. The Chicken Chop Suey was mostly Bean Sprouts with very little Chicken and Veg. I definitely will not be ordering from here again.

You are looking to spend about $5 on any treat, like a brownie, or a chocolate covered cookie dough ball. The employee here was wonderful, and when I explained dietary restrictions she was able to pull out an ingredient list for every single item in the store and let me know what was the next one. The hello dollies were far tastier than I had expected, and the chocolate covered cookie dough balls are now things that I'm going to the consider making at home.

I've also tried quite a few of their apps, which are tasty, but our experience was that anything breaded does not hold up well through the cooking process (the breading falls off).

So it's Sunday before a Monday holiday and I realize it's 5:45pm and I haven't a drop of booze for a BBQ I'm attending tomorrow. AHHH!!! Ok don't panic, some place has got to be still open! Luckily, the LCBO on Bayfield Street in Barrie is open until 6pm on Sundays, which quite possibly saved my life. Not only was it open, it has the best selection of beer and party drinks I've seen at an LCBO in a long time! Maybe it's catering to the cottage country crowd but there are even more beers to choose from here than in most Toronto LCBOs. They have a good VQA selection as well as a large selection of wines from across the world. On this visit I got: 4 tall cans of Steamwhistle (my favourite!), 2 Muskoka Cream Ales (read my Volo review), a bottle of Fresita (only the best strawberry wine from Chile), and the wife got plenty of other essential survival items as well. Thanks LCBO for making my long weekend BBQ a success.
