Gyubee Japanese Grill (Bloor)

Welcome to my favorite restaurant in Toronto!!!! Japanese-Korean grill is a great place with a cook-your-own-food technique. It has unlimited food, drinks and dessert options with a time limit of 1 hour and 15 minutes. I absolutely LOVE this place. I especially love the soy sauce-sweet meat options. The bibimbap is amazing when I tried it I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm not really a person with eggs but I loved it I think everyone should try it😂 and my biggest favorite is ENOKİ MUSHROOM they changed the mushroom option a few months ago and it really upset me because I don't like other mushrooms that much. It's a place where you can eat and hear, worth every penny of your money. The staff is very fast REALLY FAST and polite. Thanks for everything guys🩷 Suggestion for customers: For those who have parking problems, there is a green park a few streets behind and the price is quite ideal.

Really enjoyed this place. They are crazy fast getting you seated and though the wait looks daunting it goes by quick. The staff were super friendly and made sure the food kept coming. We tried a bunch of seafood, and a mix of steaks and kalbi’s. Everything was great. Dont sleep on any of the briskets or the miso steak Watch out for anything that comes in the foil dishes, they take longer to cook and take up a bunch of room on the grill. Some of them were really good, but space and time was an issue. Also the only time we didn’t really enjoy was the salmon. It came tinned and didn’t cook as nicely as grilled items.

Great amount of space fitting a table of 8 adults and 2 kids not much privacy. We did have RSVP for table larger than 6. Also having to be at the location within the 10 mins of your RSVP. Careful as they do measure kids height to consider a child or as an adult. Found this location better than the one on Dundas. All the meats were seasoned well as none of them tasted similar to the point you got tried of generic taste continue to different dishes/meats. The service was fast and all the servers were very polite. I would come back to this location again.

GREATEST BBQ EVER. I took my pals here for a birthday night out and it was my best decision yet. We enjoyed a hearty meal filled with delicious meats that were rich, juicy, and easy to eat. The takoyaki was absolutely amazing, soft yet still tangy and tasty. Afterwards, we enjoyed a few delectable desserts like the crème brûlée or the light and fluffy tangerine pudding. The staff can be a bit hard to get a hold of since they’re quite busy, but are still helpful as any other server. The seating is also nice and not too squished as there’s a divider in between the other tables. Overall, Gyubee’s is a fantastic place and although it may seem pricey, you get two hours and can eat as much good food as you want.

*Food* I am always hesitant when it comes to 'all you can eat' restaurants, but this place was out of this world. We tried all the beef options, and ALL were so good that we had to reorder 3 or 4 times. The pork options were also amazing. My favorite pick was the miso beef brisket, along with the bibimbap. Super tasty! I'd give a 10/10 for everything i tried, i tried everything except the chicken there. *Service* Staff is super friendly and welcoming, they're fast and they're always wearing a smile. I'd definitely try the place again. *Atmosphere* The place is ALWAYS full, so you might have to wait in line. Make sure You're pretty hungry before you go there. Also, the price is so reasonable, and the food is worth every penny we paid.

I have visited other branches of this restaurant but the quality of the meat in this one is much worse! I could say that drinks and takoyaki taste the same. We are quite frequent customers of another branch so we know very well the amounts we normally eat, but here the meat had so much fat that we had stomach pain after eating, and they had to change the grill more than 3 times (when normally they do it at most once). Due to the position of the seats, you feel much less privacy, and it is annoying how many times people pass so close to your food! The service is much slower than in other branches, so although we ordered quite a few dishes when we arrived, we went about 10 minutes without eating because the next order did not arrive and no one came to ask if we needed anything. Finally, I saw that they put the order tickets on the food! which I definitely cannot consider hygienic!

The food was generally salty for me, but the taste and quality of the ingredients and their services were satisfying.

Really great experience, I loved Ajillo, Garlic Beef Brisket and Sweet Soy Brisket. The atmosphere is great as they already set up for Christmas. There is no forced tips and the service is great and definitely deserve tips. It is really popular so the line up would be a problem, they allow reservations for 6 people or more, less than 6 people, you could add yourself in yelp before coming, or just avoid the high peak time.

This was our first time at a Gyubee Japanese Grill. The one directly across the street from our hotel was booked for the night so we tried the one on Bloor Street. They only accepted cash or Canadian Debit Cards but there is an ATM if you only have American Dollars and Credit cards like I had. We had no idea what we were doing but the hostess explained for a flat price we could cook and eat all we wanted for the next two hours. Each table a built in grill that you had all to yourself to cook on. They had beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and tofu and a bunch of different sides. My wife isn't much of a red meat fan so she started with chicken wings and shrimp. My daughter and I jumped right into the beef. It was fun cooking our own meat while enjoying each other's company. We found the food to be delicious and by the end of the night was loving the beef. Yep, the lady who isn't a red meat fan was digging into it! Service was fast. Whenever we asked for more food it came in a few minutes tops. Our waitress was friendly and patient. We would definitely go back and try it again.

Great ambiance, good service, and fresh meats as ever. I really like the bibimbap as well.

Truely nice services. And nice food, specially Hokkaido style chicken wings . Little busy

Nice place. Amazing staff. Great food I like how this restaurant has every table with little blinds that separates you from other guest around which is really nice when the place is super busy, you get to enjoy your food in peace no one is looking next to you. Definitely coming back here again with friends :)

This is a very busy spot that does not take reservations (you can add yourself to the wait list on Yelp which I would recommend). The food is an "all you can eat" so the price is reasonable and quite delicious. The staff went gone above and beyond the first time I visited and it left a fantastic first impression.

Gyubee is one of my favourite to get Kalbi steak. The service has always been good and ambiance is fun many people come in groups of friends. Love the food overall for the price! Highly recommend to people always

Have gone here a couple times now. I want to start off by saying the food is delicious. If you are looking for something fun to do with friends, I would recommend going here. It's like an all you can eat, you get a two hour time limit, they bring you out your choices of meats, veggies , etc. you cook it yourself on a grill that's in the table. The service is good! They are quick and efficient with refilling your drinks and bringing out more food. I love the atmosphere! The only negative thing would be the wait time to get a table. I once waiting two hours for a table of 4. Got there at 7pm and only was seating after 9pm. They don't have a waiting area also , so the hallway gets very crowded. Be sure to put yourself on the wait list before you get there, so you can check in quicker!

Excellent beef options, plus seafood (i.e. salmon) & veggies. Been to KGH many times & there're more varieties here - i.e. seafood (though the price is higher of course). Overall, I'd say it's not all that different from KGH - it's a slightly higher-price (fancier) option.

Excellent food, been here many times! My fav thing to get is the bibimbap despite the fact that it's rice and can fill you up. I always get 1 bowl and so do my friends because it's delicious. Whatever sauce they use for the stir frying is fantastic! The seasoning on all the meats is amazing and the service is fast. The only reason for 4 stars is the wait time. I always have reservations and even then you have to wait at least 45 mins. It sucks and I hope they honor the reservations better but other than that 10/10

I decided to try the other main Japanese yakiniku chain in Toronto (the other being Gyu-Kaku), and there are some notable differences which balance out. Gyubee is cheaper though they offer less variety of meat and require cash or debit (they don't accept credit cards). I found the quality of meat generally better at Guy-Kaku as well and my Japanese friend agreed. So if you are looking for cheaper Yakiniku this is your place, just remember to bring cash.

Amazing to the max!! Love this city vibe place no need for soft music the tables were all enjoying this hip and friendly environment! Reserved in advance the party got smaller from 6 to 5 people.. but they didn't serve us away.. the dishes were all cook yourself but they explained a lot and the staff wasn't speaking another language. They spoke well and didn't make us feel misunderstood. We try it all.. from beef, lamb.. seafood to vegetables.. we left really full and amazed at the food quality. The loss of 1 star was for the uncommon practice of not taking US cards at all.. so come with CAD cash or CAD credit/debit card.. it was tough because we couldn't Venmo our friend and made us feel bad. Incroyable au maximum !! J'adore cet endroit à l'ambiance urbaine, pas besoin de musique douce, les tables profitaient toutes de cet environnement branché et convivial ! Réservé à l'avance, le groupe est passé de 6 à 5 personnes. mais ils ne nous ont pas servis. les plats étaient tous préparés vous-même mais ils ont beaucoup expliqué et le personnel ne parlait pas une autre langue. Ils ont bien parlé et ne nous ont pas laissé incompris. Nous avons tout essayé... du bœuf à l'agneau... des fruits de mer aux légumes... nous sommes repartis vraiment rassasiés et émerveillés par la qualité de la nourriture. La perte d'une étoile était due à la pratique rare de ne pas prendre de cartes américaines du tout. alors venez avec de l'argent CAD ou une carte de crédit/débit CAD.

Great location, great staff and quality food! Went with a group of six people to enjoy some food. We got seated quickly (because we had a reservation) and once we were all there, they started the 2h time limit from then. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff and cooked it throughout the time there. Everything was delicious! And we were all satisfied in the end.

First time trying Gyubee and also the first time I had AYCE BBQ in years! Lunch was $26.99 for adult Monday to Thursday and $28.99 from Friday to Sunday and holidays. My friend and I came here 30 minutes past opening on Monday and there was still plenty of seating left. Minus the occasional fire alarms that would go off, the ambience was good. We got both cuts of the beef (the sweet soy marinated short rib and sweet soy beef brisket) and I got the shrimp. I like how they marinate the meat as it added more flavour. I got to try the bibimbap which was good but next time I will pass on it to enjoy more of the other food. We shared the side orders and my favourites were the kimchi, lettuce, bean sprout, and ssamjang. We also shared two butter corns which were good. Looking back, I forgot to get mushrooms and the seaweed salad so that's on the list for next time. We shared a pitcher of peach mojito and it was refreshing. Didn't really taste the alcohol in it though. I was definitely very full after the meal and to top it off we got melona (1/person). That day, they had either strawberry and coconut. I got the coconut and it was good! Service was straightforward and quick. I like how the servers don't gatekeep portions compared to other BBQ places I've been to. TLDR: I understand the hype. Solid Japanese AYCE BBQ restaurant with good service.

Gyubee is a fun place to go with a group and cook together. They have non-meat options such as salmon, clams, other seafood, and vegetables. The concept is All You Can Eat (AYCE). Unlike Korean BBQ which focuses on soaking and marinating the ingredients, Japanese BBQ uses more of a 'dipping' technique. The dipping sauces incorporate soy sauce, mirin (a type of red wine for cooking), and garlic.

The food was great! We ordered thin pork belly, lamb, a lot of beef, cold noodles, butter corn, and other veggies. We ordered a second round and heartily ate everything. The ambiance was nice and the seating was enough for 5 people. We needed more surface area for all the food, but with the meats in thin slices were cooked fast so we could stack up our plates. The only issue was getting a table. We were told to wait and when the wait time was over, we inquired again and were told it was ready. It wasn't. We had to wait again because the party before us was finishing up and settling their bill. If we were told to wait longer initially, it wouldn't have been so frustrating. Please be advised that they take Canadian debit and cash only, but they have an ATM.

Go Early, Go Hungry, Bring Friends who are just as hungry as you Don't fill up on water or snacks Go wild on meat

Probably the best "cook it yourself" Asian BBQ I've ever had and I've tried most of the places in the area

In my opinion the best AYCE Japanese bbq place there is ! I have been to all their locations and I don't have a single complain . The staff are always super friendly and attentive the food is always great and the experience is amazing and not to mention their pricing is great as well. Definitely recommend this restaurant for any event just make sure to join the line up using yelp !

Food: amazing as always. Good variety of meat selection, quality is excellent, and quantity is perfection. Service: they deserve 10 stars! Very accommodating, extremely friendly, always making sure we got enough to drink, eat, and satisfied. Ambiance: always a nice place to go, nice decor, dry casual as well. Do I recommend this place? Heck yeah!

Visited Gyubee (Location on Bloor) on our last trip to Toronto as we were craving some good bbq and this place seemed to have pretty good reviews. We really enjoyed our visit! Although the menu is not extremely large, the quality of the meats and side dishes are great for the price. The only "downside" (which I think is true for many of these AYCE places) is you have a limited time of 2hrs to eat which is already started from when you are seated. The service was great and attentive when we wanted to order more. Note that this bbq spot fills up super fast. We were there on a Thursday evening and got there before 5pm and the place was already half full. Would recommend!

Food is good, but the level of service is getting worse. Serves tend to ignore tables that they think ordering "too much". Also they're trying to to push you hard around the last order time :(

The Bloor location is my favourite in the Toronto area. The wait list isn't usually too long and the dining area is spacious and clean. The service is good as there are a good number number of servers, and they change your grill for you at a good frequency without you having to ask. The food here is always tasty as well. The meats are fresh and well seasoned, and I haven't had any complaints with the desserts or appetizers to date.

Wow, what a phenomenal place to go. Some of the best AYCE Kbbq and service I've ever experienced! Things to know: 1. It's cash only!! 2. Get on the waitlist EARLY We got on the waitlist Friday night and we were ~70th in place. In 2 hours of waiting we were only down to 30th in line. We ended going over when we were ~18th in line and told the front of house and they seated us pretty quickly. As for the food, honestly try everything. We loved the Galbi, pork belly, brockets and sausage. Also get at least 2 creme brûlées. I ate 5 of those things and I don't regret it one bit. Defintely an amazing place to go with friends or for a specials celebration :)

Too much crowded need space to accommodate costumer n too much slow Hungry now waiting time 21/2 1/2 hrs

Really good food. Service was good. Staff were happy to help and give recommendations. Ambiance was a little busy but not too bustling. Overall a good experience

Finally I was able to find an eat-all-you-can grill here in Toronto. It was worth the money... and wait time! *Service was excellent *Food was superb *Ambiance was great One thing I like about this grill place is that all selections in their menu are avaiable. PS: I think I'll keep coming back!

I'm not a BBQ fan or meat lover, but can tell that their meat quality and variety are pretty good. There were so many different types of meat on the table so I couldn't remember which one was what, but the ones I liked were Miso Beef and Lamb. The rest were also good but not as good as those two, plus I really couldn't tell which types they were. The one cut in small cubes - which I believe was one of the beefs - a bit chewy. They have taro ice cream! Asked for peach mojito with extra alcohol, didn't taste alcohol but it was extra sweet that I'll say. Great place overall. If you are a meat lover then you should definitely visit.

There's a reason why I return here every week. Excellent service to begin with, everyone is so diligent and even on the busiest days they're efficient and polite. The food is fresh, tastes good everytime and honestly the Pumpkin soup is the best I've had.

Food lots of variety very fresh, service very friendly, preferred the dinner option. The ambience is fantastic. There is a lot of seating and the ventilation system is very good. The service was very good and the food was served quickly. Especially like the pudding, basically come once a week very good dining experience.

For lunch time is only a few options, it is basically pork and for me, that don't eat pork, don't worth it. But at dinne

Waitlist in yelp is not reliable. Once you get in the restaurant, that's when they add you in line..even if you have a waitlist on Yelp. We waited 1 hour from the moment we got a confirmation text versus exact waiting time to be seated. The staff are respectful but something needs to be done because timeliness is a NO for this restaurant. The food is quality but if you are looking for a reliable waiting period on when you are to be seated, I WOULD LOOK FOR OTHER KBBQ SPOTS. Apparently if one person goes beyond 2hrs seating period it's not followed. Annoying.

I go here every time I'm in Toronto. It's on Bloor and Huron next to U of T. I also like the boba store next door. They only take cash but also give a $2 discount! They have some mixed drinks for $5 each. They are served in a mug biu don't have much alcohol in them. Staff are friendly and fast. It's all you can eat. Includes miso soup, salads, even dessert. Creme brûlée is good, but a small serving. I highly suggest ordering zucchini and pineapple to grill. They are delicious on the bbq.

Maybe include in your business info that you accept only Canadian cash or debit. Walked here 15 mins to read it on your door. Sorry but that's bullshit

Food is good but the wait times are ridiculous ( rmb to get on their waitlist or call) and their seating arrangement IS AWFUL. We had a party of 6 and made a phone reservation for 5:30, the host informed us if our whole party doesn't show up we will still be charged for our party of 6....... Our party of 6 turned into just 5, and thankfully they didn't charge us for the extra person, however they changed our tables from a spacious table with two grills to a small booth for 4 with one foldable chair near the main walkway. I know if you have a party of 1-4, the booth will be just fine with one grill, but 5+ they should really put us at a bigger table. We had NO space to eat because our table was filled with the raw food coming from the kitchen. They were not consider AT ALL Hence they kept bringing out the raw foods with little to no table space... As my party finished up, we saw many empty tables at the very back and a long line in the front of the house. I think gyubee on bloor should stop leaving those empty tables open and let these hungry people get seated.

Food is great, service a bit slow during the busy period, ambiance is as expected with Japanese Grill Places

Always my absolute go to!! Recommend adding yourself to the wait list before you go so you don't wait for too long. The lines can go up to a 2.5 hr wait on weekends. Imo, the all you can eat is super worth it. The kalbi is delicious and the creme brûlée is to die for. I have at least three every visit. If you pay with cash, you get a discount The bathroom is also very clean as well! They just got renovated and the space looks so nice. Def recommend!

Came here during dinner and had to wait almost 2 hours to get a table for two. It was my first time going to Gyubee and I heard good things about it so I really wanted to try it. A bit pricier than other AYCE bbq locations, I'd say it is very much worth it. My favorite meats to eat were the marinated meats and most of the side dishes. I'd have to say that service was very attentive and fast as we did get our food quite quickly after we ordered which was a plus because we were very hungry. All in all, I'd love to come here again or try one of their other locations!!

Fast service. They were pretty quick to take away empty dishes. Meat was solid Would recommend if you're hungry and looking to have Japanese/Korean bbq

If I were to rate Gyubee on the food alone, it would get 5 stars, but due to the wait and some elements of the service, I had to deduct a star. I will save the good parts for later. Con 1: I joined the wait-list at 5:30pm to be seated at 7:30pm, based on historic wait times of 60 minutes when joining at 6pm (better join earlier than later). The Yelp wait list shockingly told me to check in at 7:57. At that time, I checked in, but had to wait another 20 minutes. If there wasn't a Chatime next door to curb my hunger a bit, bad things may have happened. So when we did get to order, we ordered 2 of every meat and some sides. Con 2: As there was no accountability for what was ordered and delivered, I never got some of the dishes I ordered, such as chicken cartilage. I had to ask for the bibimbap multiple times before finally getting it. The bibimbap was worth the effort, though. Pro 1: the meats served here were absolutely spectacular for AYCE. The beef had beautiful marbling, so that the cooked pieces glistened with juices. The pork belly was also to die for. The enoki mushrooms and bibimbap are true hidden gem items here. Last but not least, who doesn't love AYCE creme brulee and Melona bars? Pro 2: the grill has excellent ventilation. Unlike KBBQs, you won't leave smelling like grease and smoke. Opportunities for improvement: 1. Accountability system for dishes ordered vs dishes served. It was awkward having to remind my server multiple times of the forgotten bibimbap. 2. Hotter grills. The grill literally wasn't cooking the meats fast enough for my party of 4. In conclusion, everyone in my party had a great time and would love to come back to celebrate some occasion.

Cheap for AYCE. Good quality meats, nice desserts at the end too. Overall good for how much you pay and would go again.

I really liked Gyubee before they closed due to the Pandemic. However, I don't like the fact that they only accept cash and not debit. I was okay with no credit cards, but come on...cash is dirty especially during this period in time. They now have an ATM machine outside that charges $5 per transaction (which does not cover what your bank charges.) Are they trying to avoid paying taxes or skimming off the top?

Planned a surprise birthday party here for a friend, group of 19 people. They were able accommodate us two large tables with 10 people per table. They were only able to do reso at 5:30 and or 7:45 for two hours AYCE. On the day of, they sent a msg to confirm our reso for tonight and gave us a heads up if we were to be 5 mins late or more, they'd give our table away. With that, knowing my friends very well, we told them to show up at 7:30, some people came clutch and held down the fort for us as we brought in the birthday boy. The food was fresh and delicious minus a kink at the very end when our mushroom tray had some weird mixture in the melted butter, turned out to be way too much black pepper which was not too liked among the group. We were only allowed one creme brûlée per person which is different than the other location. The best part was when the Melona bars came out, we all got super excited and recovered from our itis. The staff were amazing and quick with their service. They were willing to part take in our shenanigans. When it came to cashing out, we had no idea the birthday boy paid for his own meal... we derped, should have told the server who was assigned to our group in advanced, cant blame her. As I was able to pay, I found out it was only debit and cash, no credit. I was profoundly confused because at the other location, we paid credit before.

I made a reservation on this yelp waitlist and they kicked me off at the last minute, saying I didn't make any. Terrible!

NOT VISITOR FRIENDLY!! We joined the waitlist, excited to have this for our last night in Toronto. We wait our turn in line for a while, then go inside and see a sign at the front the front that says 'Canadian cash or debit only.' They don't mention anywhere on Yelp about this, and turned us away.

Really bad experience! My friends and I rank Gyubee as our top 1 restaurant. But this experience in Bloor really disappointed us. All waiters and waitresses cannot stop keeping ignoring us. It took more than ten minutes to beg someone answer our request! The store on Dundas is so much better than this store!

Gyubee is by far my favourite BBQ place. It's always so busy here so I suggest making reservations! I've been here a couple of time and the service was always consistently good. It's on the more expensive side with dinner being around 30 dollars before tax but it's totally worth it!!! All the meat are delicious and so well seasoned and you can taste the quality of every one of them. One of my favourite thing to order is the honey potato which is delicious!! Not to mention they have melona bars for dessert which is one of my all time favourite ice cream bar! I'm always so exited to come here and will obviously come back whenever I'm craving some bbq!

After my first time here during valentine's day, Gyubee is officially now my favorite AYCE restaurant! Food quality is 10/10 for most of the items we've tried, especially the sake marinated (?) clams. A MUST TRY. The meats are of great quality too! Would've loved a bigger & thicker pork belly though. Was shocked to see how small they were but it didnt really change our experience so it's fine Service is 10/10 seeing how the servers were actually the ones asking us first before we could ask them for anything. Ambiance is good too, place is clean and organized. Looking forward to coming back here again. Will recommend!

I must caveat this review by saying that I'm not a fan of these Asian BBQ concepts. I find that I spend more time cooking my own food rather than eating. That said, Gyubee serves up great quality meat (relative to other Asian BBQ places), most of which are coated with a delicious marinade. They could really improve the menu though - I was hoping for more variety, particularly for non-meats and dessert.

Sat in the lunch. I found the first order of beef brisket and quite good with minimal fat, though after the first order the beef brisket order just got fattier and fattier. The kohlbi was well seasoned. Pretty much all meats were salted and seasoned so if you're a bland eater this may not be for you. In terms of operations table reservations are recorded manually and all orders are taken verbally. It's amazing the server didnt mix up or forget the orders. Controls were on the side of the table and ventilation was good. I wish there were more dessert options, that would make the experience better. The lunch lacked variety and I would have liked more vegetable because the meats are excessively seasoned. I would definitely return. Takes cash or debit. If you pay cash, they will take $1 off each person, why not save them the transaction fee.
