Came here on a Saturday night and it was very BUSY. I joined the waitlist and ended up being seated about 3 hours later, so plan ahead or go earlier if you can. But honestly, once we got in, it was so so worth it. The food was amazing - everything tasted so good! Customer service was also on point, staff were super attentive and made sure we were good the entire time we were there!! read more

Phenomenal service. Lexie our server today was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience exceptional!

Gyubee always has the best bang for your buck. The service at this location was great. Changed our grill a few times without us asking. Took us a while to get a seat on a Wednesday night (about an hour wait for table of 4) read more

Gyubee Japanese Grill - Japanese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

It's a popular spot so be prepared to wait for a table - for our party of 6 on a Saturday night, the wait was almost an hour and a half. Also make sure to have cash or a Canadian debit card otherwise you'll need to pay a visit to the ATM, which wasn't working when we were there. Fortunately, there is a TD bank right across the street. While they took down my number, they didn't contact it to let us know the table was ready. Fortunately, we were waiting in their waiting area, which has plenty of seating. But even though I answered yes, when they called my name, they kept yelling it - not sure if they could hear us. All the cuts of beef and pork we got were great quality. The squid, mushrooms, and rice cakes were all also delicious. Our server Ryan was very nice and helped check with the kitchen on some orders that hadn't made their way to our table. We ended up getting mostly everything except the last order of lamb, which we just gave up on. They came by to change the grill decently often, but almost always at the awkward timing of us having recently placed some new cuts of meat on the grill. When the other workers came by to refill water, they did skip some people unless we specifically asked. read more

My favourite Gyubee location in the GTA. Service is always so fast here. And the food is the most consistent. For some crazy reason the pineapples here are ALWAYS so good. Perfect for large group dinners and gatherings. read more

Gyubee is one of my favourite bbq spots! The meat is good quality and as an ayce spot it's really good value. The kalbi and steaks in particular are good, but as a garlic lover I love the garlic beef. There's a decent selection of other items, and I would def get a creme brulee to end the night. Atmosphere wise, it's a pretty standard bbq setting, nothing special I'd say. Service is also really good some nights, but since they're so busy it can def get backed up. Try to join the waitlist super early cause it fills up fast. Despite the long wait though I always am happy to come back, so five stars read more

Great friendly service. The food was good too, the cuts of meat look fresh and high quality.

Terrible experience, joined the waitlist at 9:20, was supposed to be seater at 9:50, no one called I go in at 10:25 they try to justify no one reaching out due to the power going out and try to accommodate by allowing one order. read more

Good experience there and the food was good, the team sang for my son's birthday! Lexie was our waitress and she was an excellent server. Staff were very friendly. read more

This Gyubee spot is my main go to...service is always great! Food always hits the spot ever since time I go.

This location is always busy, even lunch hours on weekdays. There have been a few times the online list said no wait time, but when you walk in, it's an average 30-40min wait time for a table (party of 3+) Hard to find surface parking during business hours, but there is an underground parking in same plaza. Staff are pretty helpful and it's overall not too noisy despite all the full tables. read more

This was my first time at this location, service was quick and the food came promptly. The servers were very good at coming around to change the grills and take away dishes. read more

We came by around 1pm for lunch on a Sunday and the wait was fairly quick. We tried the lunch menu and had most of the meats. Our favorites were the signature soy marinated steak, spicy beef brisket and thick pork belly. We also enjoyed the small side dishes of radish, kimchi, spinach and bean sprouts. Service was fairly quick and the staff very friendly and helpful. read more

Gyubee is easily one of my favorite spots for Japanese BBQ in the GTA. The food is always flavorful, consistent, and satisfying. I do wish they had iPad ordering like some other AYCE spots, as it can sometimes take a bit of time to get a staff member's attention. That said, once the food starts arriving, it's great. Our server, Aria, was very sweet and accommodating. Great service. She brought us one of their new menu additions to try: pickled radish. It was light, refreshing, and a perfect palate cleanser between heavier bites. We ended up ordering it every round afterward. My personal favorites include the pumpkin soup, bibimbap, prime kalbi, sake steamed clams, Nagoya style chicken wings, and of course, their iconic crème brûlée to finish off the meal. Pro tips: Check in early on Yelp and keep refreshing the waitlist. If you're aiming for a 6 to 7 PM dinner slot, start checking around 3 PM. A gratuity is automatically added for groups of six or more, and they offer a cash discount. Use a clean plate as a communal plate to stack cooked food while you continue grilling. It helps you maximize your 2-hour seating time. read more

my fav AYCE all the time!! every thing is so good but I want the soft serve back tho read more

Food is good. Only complaints is lack of source and dishes. The beef slice is really small and hard to bbq. Servant forget to ask her name, seems really into this job and has smile on her face. read more

Great meat quality and variety - the meat was tender overall. Their chicken wings were surprisingly good, and the butter squash soup was yum too. The plum juice was too sweet for my liking, and the creme brulee isn't highly recommended. Service was good; they changed the grilling net pretty quickly each time. The booth was however a bit small for two people sitting. Overall a good spot for Japanese BBQ AYCE. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 4/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 3/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 3.5/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 4/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 4/5 OVERALL - 3.7 read more

AYCE restaurant that's worth the price! This is my second time went to Gyubee. Great quality and variety of meats, seafood and other items included. The seating time is 2 hours. The service was fast and swift. The meats were nicely marinated and the portion was good. These food are highly recommended to order, so yummy: Crème Brûlée, Soy marinated Short Rib, beef brisket, ice cream. I went there during Halloween season, and they had some cute decorations. Love the vibe there. I would recommend you to check this AYCE restaurant out if you love Korean/Japanese BBQ. read more

This location always hits! The meat is marinated well, the service is fast and friendly, and I always leave satisfied. It does get very busy in the evenings, so be prepared. read more

Front desk is mid attitude, waiter is good. wrong estimated time of waiting time, they said 30-45mins. I waited for about 60mins. it smells bad, like the smell of swimming pool. Though food is incredible. read more

Food: Food was great! Honestly, if you're coming to the GTA, going to Gyubee is definitely a staple must-go. I've been to the downtown locations quite a few times but I definitely prefer this location. The food is the same yummy meats BUT the service is what made it great :) I believe they offer a 5% discount if you're bringing cash, so make sure to pay via cash! Otherwise, it was $41.99 cad (before taxes) during a weekend dinner. The only thing is that if you're going to dinner, I can't stress this enough: CHECK AND JOIN THE WAITLIST! They get super busy and wait times are often 2+ hours for a dinner table during peak times. Also, don't forget to come and check in with the hosts around 15 minutes before your time period actually hits to make sure you're actually keeping your spot! Service: Amazing service! Everyone was super attentive and our food came out super quickly. The staff was professional and nice, answering any and all questions that we had. They also checked up on us a good amount of time and let us know twice when the last call was! Super sweet, loved everyone there. Ambiance: Loved the way they decorated this location's Gyubee (I mean, it's pretty much the same but I'm glad there's a huge waiting area with a TV). read more

If you're on a waitlist, double the time they tell you it'll take. The waitlist estimated times are not accurate. They should really stop providing estimates and instead do seatings every 1.5-2 hours. read more

Had another great experience here, this time for lunch. The menu is definitely smaller, but there's still lots to eat. The small selection of dipping sauces has gotten even smaller, with only soy sauce & ssamjang left. The items are still good quality & mostly don't need sauces. They've improved the quality of the sides & there're more desserts for dinner now (for lunch it's only 1 vanilla soft serve per person). read more

Great service and value for money! Convenient place and great food, recommend for family with kids

The food is amazing!! The front of house service, not so much. The food is so worth it .

Gyubee is definitely one of if not the best Japanese bbq in Toronto! Especially considering the quality of meat, the service, and the variety. I've tried pretty much every item on their menu, and ill never get sick of it. The meat comes quick and the staff is very attentive, will change your grill 2-3 times without you even needing to ask. On weekends it'll run you about 60 per person, but honestly considering how good all the dishes are definitely worth it. Some cool new items too, really loved the ribeye and the Nagoya wings! read more

Reservations only for six or more people. The Yelp waitlist function works decently, but did not remind me when I should hop back on to get in line. Thankfully I was paying attention and was okay with a later dinner. We went to celebrate something g with our daughter. It was a feast, with rapid changing out of grills and constant replenishment of whatever we wanted. We found the beef to be the best overall. The pre-cooked chicken wings were a hit too. Salmon was disappointing. The mushrooms, corn, lettuce and pineapple were nice additions. There is a one hour and 45 minute time limit. They only take debit or cash, with a cash discount. We paid about $180 with tax and a good tip included, for three adults on a Friday night. read more

Found out that this was the very first gyubee opened and continually lives up to the top standard. This location always provides the best quality service, thank you to all the servers that are attentive and kind. The food will always be phenomenal, prime kalbi will be the best cut of meat on the menu hands down. The seating layout is great if you get the booth beside the window, makes for a great date spot. Been here many times, and will be back many more! read more

Their waitlist system is just a joke . After waiting for more than 5 hours , still 45 tables ahead . They should really update their system

This is my several time coming to Gyubee, and I can confidently say it's the best all-you-can-eat in Toronto -- by far! The meat cuts are large, fresh, and high quality, the marinades are incredibly delicious and varied, and everything is served perfectly. A special thanks to Bao, our amazing server -- truly professional, friendly, and fast! I'll definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to everyone, especially Korean BBQ lovers! read more

It's a very popular AYCE "yakiniku" restaurant chain in Toronto. If you're a meat lover, you'll definitely love this restaurant! Unlike some dishonest AYCE restaurants, which will provide the food slowly or lose some orders on purpose, Gyubee brought us the food we ordered very efficiently. And they wouldn't "forget" to bring some ingredients we order. In addition, the quality of food was very high. I particularly enjoyed the "garlic beef" A clean net is also essential for health. Their staff came frequently and helped us to change the net every once in a while. High-quality food and good services, how much do you think it costs? It feels daunting but it turns out to be a very good deal. Only $50+ per person for dinner. I think for an AYCE yakiniku restaurant, Gyubee does an impressive and excellent job read more

The food services were quit good however the front desk was very odd. Our number on the waitlist got bounced back and forth for an hour. When I was still number 7 we suddenly got seated. It's the worst Gyubee's I've been to. read more

The food was great and the garlic beef was definitely my favorite in this restaurant. Not a lot of options of food however they do offer a lot of vegetables for some reason. The portions were a bit smaller then intended and I didn't like how they set a limit on the ice cream cones which were also really small. The decorations were definitely really nice and looked nice with the couches, railings, and overall the lighting. The service was not very good as they have a long wait list and then when they say they are ready, the expect us to wait another 15-30 minutes for our table to be ready. Also, they take a long time serving the food and getting it out after we order it which is really annoying and takes time away from the 2 hours which is mostly left for waiting. 6/10 definitely service could be an improvement. read more
