| - To get the ultimate oral satisfaction and to protect your mouth from searing hot meat, use protection...I mean wrap your meat...I MEAN PUT YOUR MEAT IN THE LETTUCE! Talk about choking on it...choking on my words, I mean...Sigh.
Gyubee is as close as you get in terms of food to THAT type of satisfaction, so can you blame me for getting a little flustered? Think about it, things get a little heated, you start stripping...pieces of meat from the pile and throwing it on the grill. Anyways, at the end of the night, you're sitting there exhausted and a little sweaty. Hot.
You even get explosions in the mouth. Flavour explosions. If I had one advice, use the lettuce wraps. WRAP EVERYTHING! Pack a bit a meat, a bit of potato, a bit of whatever into a leafy pocket and enjoy a new flavour sensation with every different wrap. There is an impressive selection of quality proteins. Seasoned kalbi, chewy chicken cartilage, pork belly, beef tongue, squid...etc. The beef is always beautifully marbled and a bright, fresh red. What I'm liking about JBBQ compared to KBBQ is that not everything is drenched in marinade, so you can really see and taste what you're eating.
Even the veggies are better than expected. Three words: Honey Sweet Potatoes. Two more words: Oyster Mushrooms. The potatoes add an amazing sweet contrast when eaten with the meat and the mushrooms are great for texture. Oyster mushrooms are also expensive so if you can get them at AYCE, that's a pretty sweet deal. Another tip, pour the honey and butter from the potatoes into your little tins of enoki mushroom. Honey butter enoki!
Service is good for AYCE BBQ. Things are missed once in awhile, but there's always someone there to take your order and that's fine in my books. They also changed the grill without us asking. A server saw us struggling with grilling the pork belly because of the INTENSE FIRE from the grease and ended up helping us with professional precision. Honestly, can't complain. Automatic gratuity is justified, especially with our big group.
Two hour seating limit, but I think that's really all the time you need. Gyubee seduces you easily and thoroughly. The food may come quickly but you are welcomed to take your sweet time. Gyubee and chill. Before you know it, your pants are unbuttoned, you're panting slightly, and you're filled up real good.
