Gyubee Japanese Grill (Bloor)

really great food and attentive staff. Its really fun cooking all the meat yourself! we ate a ton and didnt even come close to the 2 hour limit. definitely a fun thing to do on a date or with a group of friends. The only thing I’d caution people about is it gets VERY busy, we went early (about 4pm) and it was already busy, but by the time we left it was PACKED with people filling up the entry hallway. They do have a virtual queue so you don’t have to physically be in the restaurant to reserve a table, but they don’t take reservations for small groups. Can’t wait to go back though!

It's so good that my stomach is literally about to pop every time I visit. Whatever sauce and powder you dip the stuff in, I want a bottle. It's what stands out in other AYCE BBQ places

We got 1 grill for 5 persons, which makes it very slow for everyone to have something to eat. 4 people seated a the table and 1 on the side. Not comfortable and very expensive for what it is, do not recommend. Would be better to have 2-3 persons per barbecue grill but the greed is high.

Had the chance to meet the owner. Very bad experience. Seems very standoff-ish. Maybe he was having a bad day, but it won’t kill to smile. Some of the staff were also rude. I suppose you learn from the top. If you’re going to be hospitality, you have to, in fact, be hospitable. Good luck with your business!

Terible customer service named Herace. She was rude and very impolite when she arbitrarily took the dessert from my table and brought it to another table without asking permission. It's so bad that the business owner hired her. I will definitely never come here to eat again and I will discourage my friends from coming here.

Service is very fast, friendly and efficient. Although the price point can seem high, it is worth it for the variety and amount of food you can order. We loved the takoyaki that was recently added to the menu and the taro ice cream was a lovely way to end the evening. I have recommended this place to several friends and will continue to come back!

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.

Finally be back here after almost 4 years, and it didn't disappoint. We went in early for dinner so there wasn't any waiting line there. The price definitely went up over the past few years but the selection of meat and dishes is still good. The service was great and the dishes were always brought to the table quickly.
