Review Summary

Overall, Gyubee Japanese Grill provides a lively all you can eat Japanese BBQ experience with interactive table grilling and a strong emphasis on high quality meats. Meat quality and flavor are frequently praised, with tender, well seasoned marinated options standing out, though a few reviews note variability in cuts. Service is described as generally attentive and efficient, with quick refills and friendly staff, yet busy periods can bring longer waits and occasional timing issues. The atmosphere is often vibrant and sociable, which suits groups but can be loud or crowded. Value is seen as good to great for AYCE, with fast ordering via digital systems, though some caution about lines, time limits, and vegetarian options. Some reviewers noted changes to meat grades or inconsistencies across visits.

The service is super fast, efficient, & really friendly! We really appreciated it. The quality of the meat is excellent. They're marinated in a really delicious flavor - it definitely exceeded our expectations. Just keep in mind that the only payment method is Canadian debit cards or cash.

Food was really good, I mean, besides the two bugs me & my party found in our food. One was in my friend's lettuce, & the other I found at the bottom of my bean sprouts bowl, which I was eating slowly throughout the whole meal. Yeah. To compensate, they offered ONE free drink (not one pitcher for everyone to share, only ONE free drink for ONE individual). One drink probably costs nothing to them, & my group already received one free pitcher at the start of our dinner due to our party size. They should have just offered a percentage off instead, we would have disputed it but we were all so tired from our daily itinerary already, & we just wanted to leave, & they were urging us to leave by asking us for dessert. Poor service & the cleanliness disgusted me, I wouldn't go here again.

The food is good but they pressure you to leave especially if you're in a small group. We weren't even there for 1 hour & they were already asking us about dessert. They also never answer the phone.

Hard to flag waiters for orders. Not an attitude issue. Just busy. I don't know if it's to limit amount of orders but it's quite archaic for AYCE restaurant. Also, the time limit isn't even really respected. You're allotted 2 hours & we got asked to leave after 1h30. There's better choice around

Very cool way to eat Japanese food. You grill to your liking. . Nicely decorated clean place. Background music. Bit noisy. Friendly staff & helpful. Food comes fast. Everything is fresh. Definitely worth trying something new. Bring your smartphone for ease of ordering.

One of our favorite places to eat in Montreal.

Just wish they would bring back the old miso marinade as the new one is not good.

Food was great.

But the peaple in the kitchen were funny, they gave you big portion for cheap things ( pork belly) even tho you asked for'2'

& they gave you a very small plate ( beef things) even tho we asked for'10' multiple times!

They really know how to control the their cost!!

I know I can re-order multiple times & that makes us mad considering we are spending approx 60 per person.

If you want to make more profit, make it à la carte & not AYCE!

Excellent service & amazing food ! I absolutely enjoy the marinated meats they had available on their menu such as the prime Kalbi,marinated lamb, ribs, miso beef brisket, garlic beef brisket & so much more!! Everything was excellent , fresh & sooo tender!! The grill aren't those hot plate that we see in most BBQ restaurant it's the grilled one instead like in the BBQ 🫶 I really like that they give the meat part & that there is no bones ! I absolutely love the vibe, fast service & the food we're absolutely delicious from the vegetables, the meats to the dessert !! 😋

Will come back again for sure ! Had a amazing experience there 🥰 didn't try everything in their menu tonight (Monday, August 4th 2025)

Best Japanese BBQ in the city! Make sure to reserve or you will wait a very long time. Choices are incredible & taste amazing! Enjoy the 32oz Asahi!

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.

- Nourriture très bonne, beaucoup de choix, mais aucune autre sauce que soya.
- Service affable, mais difficile à comprendre vu le bruit ambiant & le très fort accent japonais (c'est très typique, mais un peu malaisant quand même - on a essayé autant en anglais qu'en français, nous aurait fallu une base de japonais!!).
- On ne s'est fait offrir qu'un grand verre d'eau tiède en arrivant, aucune autre boisson.
- Pas d'ustensiles ni de grandes assiettes, on mange avec baguettes exclusivement dans une soucoupe (vaisselle en plastique).
Les planchers étaient horriblement sales.
