    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.

    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.

    Affordable and great dishes. All staffs are kind and thoughtful…read more But the noise in the restaurant is echoing a bit.

    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!

    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.

    The bbq meats are cooked very well, tender and not dry (even the chicken!). Good smoke ring. The…read moresides are pretty average, coleslaw was disappointing. I think they are going for the back yard cookout theme- a bunch of guys at the back working the slow cooker. It smells like a bbq, slow and smoky. Overall a decent place but no parking. The Main Street streetcar does stop right in front.
