How did I never notice this
Owen R.

Cool little (and I mean little) spot next to BAY subway station in yorkville. Bulgogi pretty good (quality of beef could improve). About twenty items; fair price and made quick.

Tip: Takeout ONLY! Passed the sliding glass doors, it's literally an order counter. So no room to sit. A gem in an otherwise overpriced area for food! As part of a makeover show, the salon owner ordered lunch for the group. It's fast food from a mom and pop, but burger did not taste frozen and was well-seasoned! Patty was quite thick and juicy. Located right next to a small entrance to Bay Station, you'd literally walk by if you didn't know it was there. I did not see the prices, but based on the photo provided by another reviewer, it seems very, very reasonable! If you've got a place to eat, i.e. an office, the rock at Yorkville, your home, check this place out!

Bulgogi with rice and salad $9.99

I've been here twice and both times I got the Bulgogi on rice. Delicious and no frills kinda place. When you pick up your order (I usually do it through Ritual), the lady will asks what dressing you want on your salad. I keep wanting to choose a lighter dressing like balsamic or something but somehow my brain just gravitates towards "ranch"...fml. They also will ask if you want tzatziki sauce (I know it sounds weird on bulgogi), get it! Mixed with the rice is super delicious! I think next time i'm going to sub rice for their pasta salad. For some reason i'm not a big fan of the rice they use (I think it's brown rice) because I feel like the texture of the meat and the flavours are more suited for a short grain, white rice type of meal. You feel me?

Spicy chicken with salad $7.99

Another lovely little lunch joint in the heart of Yorkville, a true hidden gem. This small 200 sq ft shop packs a lot of good stuff. The menu is filled with cheap eats at good prices and the staff there are friendly, efficient and welcoming. I've tried the spicy chicken rice and the bulgogi burger, both were good. I heard someone order a bulgogi poutine off their "secret menu" and apparently it's delicious - will try next time.

Right beside the Bay station entrance

See all

Great place to eat at an affordable place. Cleanliness - not so much. Hole in the wall but good to grab a quick bite to eat.

It's next to a Bay station entrance, and can, ironically, get overlooked.

The quality of the meat stood out right away--tender, well-marinated, and easy to cook at the table without overthinking it. The short rib and beef slices were probably my favorites, with a really nice balance of flavor and texture. I also appreciated the variety of side dishes. Nothing felt like filler--everything complemented the main dishes nicely, especially the rice and small appetizers that kept things interesting between rounds. The atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming, and the service was attentive considering how busy it gets. It's definitely the kind of place you go with friends, take your time, and enjoy the whole experience. Would come back when I'm craving something fun and reliable.

The beef was my favorite -- thin, tender, and cooked just right. Pork belly wrapped in lettuce with sauce was tasty, and lamb was a little tricky to grill but still flavorful. Seafood isn't the best for grilling -- shrimp and squid didn't have much flavor, and salmon and clams were okay. Veggies were solid though -- zucchini and mushrooms were cooked just right, and the grilled pineapple was sweet and delicious. Edamame was fine, takoyaki mostly batter but cute and tasty. Desserts were adorable -- caramel pudding, coconut, and banana popsicles were fun to try. The vibe is cozy but lively, perfect for couples. Grilling together was actually really fun -- taking turns, sharing, and coordinating made it feel like a little team activity. Totally enjoyed the experience, and it's a really playful, interactive way to enjoy Japanese BBQ!

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.
