Review Summary

Gyubee Japanese Grill offers an all you can eat Japanese BBQ experience with a wide and often outstanding selection of meats that are fresh, well marinated and quickly grilled at the table. Reviewers praise the quality and tenderness of the beef and other meats, the satisfying sides, bibimbap option, and the fast, attentive service that keeps drinks refilled and orders coming on busy nights. The atmosphere is described as clean, vibrant, and sometimes a bit loud when crowded, with some notes about a robot delivering food and a modern ordering setup via QR codes. A common caveat is the popularity which leads to long wait times and the need to join a waitlist or plan ahead since reservations may be limited, and there is typically a time limit per table. Some comments mention language barriers, occasional inconsistencies in service or in meat seasoning, and dessert quality, but overall value, variety, and the all you can eat format keep many guests returning.

Best bbq in montreal, amazing protein choice, fresh & well seasoned. Sides are so good as well. Always love to pair my meat with the bibimbap. Highly recommend the miso steak & the thin slices. Best bbq. Always return there. Creme brulée & ice cream to finish the meal is so satisfying

Everything was absolutely delicious. Yes, literally everything! Gyubee Japanese Grill is easily my top choice for East Asian barbecue in North America right now.

The service was just as impressive: efficient, attentive, & genuinely friendly. Special shout-out to Ayman, who made our experience even better with his speed & great attitude.

We didn't have to wait because we arrived before 5:00 PM, but shortly after we were seated, the wait time quickly grew to at least 30 minutes. I'd highly recommend either coming early or making a reservation in advance.

Overall, I'd give this place a five-star rating for taste, price, & service. For food of this quality at this price point, the value is simply unbeatable.

The food here is absolutely delicious, the grill at the table is a fun experience, & the service is great (& sometimes includes a cat robot). Highly recommend for date nights or group outings, but get on their online wait-list if you're going on a busier night. Only criticism is that it's so good that it's often packed & can be a bit loud.

Good meats for AYCE, at least nothing is hard to chew in any of the choices compared to the non AYCE nearby. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb, shrimp, squid. They have carefully selected the meats to not include connective tissue, so everything can be chewed without breaking your teeth. The sauce leaves something to be desired but considering the choices around this area, I can say it's decent. The service at this restaurant is top notch, second to none in any of the restaurants that I have been in Montreal. They are very attentive to your needs. They are able to anticipate your needs most of the time & they are able to fulfill your request with virtually no time. They have a robot that helps deliver stuff too. They have plenty of staff that can address the needs of everyone, with the shortest waiting time if any. I highly recommend this place for the excellent service that makes you feel like a VIP when you eat here.

Absolutely the best Japanese barbecue! Since trying Gyubee, I can't bring myself to go anywhere else for BBQ. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, & both the lunch & dinner menus offer an impressive variety of options. The service is always top-notch, & we were especially lucky to have Edward as our server twice-he was outstanding! Thank you. If you're visiting, I highly recommend their takoyaki, simply delicious!

visiting from Halifax Nova Scotia & went with some friends to this place & it was AMAZING. Food came out the moment you ordered it, tasted so good & the atmosphere was busy but still very enjoyable. I highly recommend coming hungry & enjoying this place!

If there was a word that meant better than the best that is what word I would describe to this resto & our waitress Hannah! She was super great & made sure we were well taken care of. The food is excellent & the service is even more impeccable, fast & caring. Parking around the area is a bit difficult, however once you experience it here it's so worth it!!! Crème brûlée is delicious (would highly recommend making sure you leave space) & the soy marinated short ribs are melt in your mouth. 12/10 worth the wait:)
