I had a good experience at Gyubee Japanese Grill on Dundas. The restaurant was busy when I went, so…read moreit had a lively feel, but it also made the meal feel a little rushed at times. The meat quality was better than I expected for an all you can eat BBQ place. Some cuts were more memorable than others, but most of what we ordered cooked well and had good flavor. I also liked the small sides and sauces because they helped balance out the meal instead of making it feel too heavy. Service was friendly and fairly quick, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. There were a few moments where we had to wait for refills or extra items, but nothing that really hurt the experience. Overall, it is a good spot for a casual BBQ meal with friends. I would come back again, but probably at a less busy time.

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.

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.

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.

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 love how the beef hanging tender was in pieces that were not too big or small. The pork belly was also great, super fresh and not too fatty. I like how this time they served the complimentary soybean soup with a mini ladle and bowl so it's easier to share with other people. The only thing I wish is bigger tables since there are so many dishes on the table that take up so much space. I couldn't put my phone on the table. Love Daldongnae so much everything is fresh and delicious -- highly recommend it!
