| - If it wasn't for the price and long wait time, I would honestly be preaching this place as a 5/5 find.
After experimenting with Gyu-Kaku and other BBQ joints in downtown and around Finch, Gyubee has won my heart. I have never devoured so much meat in one sitting! The secret? The house marinated kalbi short ribs. They are a gastric journey that requires multiple return trips!
Frankly speaking, all the meats are show stoppers, as my friends and I had different favourites that night. We couldn't find a meat we didn't like. Fortunately, what's great is that they can start you off with a serving of all the meats for you to try. Plus, the staff members are extremely attentive, friendly, and generous with the rounds of orders. We were seated for two hours and probably did 8-10 rounds of orders! This is a saving grace because, when I'm at other BBQ joints, I often get a warning for the last call by the 4th round of orders.
Additionally, I was never a fan of BBQ-ing my veggies, but Gyubee has mastered this. When you order some of their vegetable varieties, they are buttered and served in foil tin cups. Don't put the veggies directly on the grill and instead heat the entire tin on the grill. After a few minutes, you'll have a buttery and juicy vegetable side dish! The enoki mushrooms were slammin' in this regard! We did 5+ orders of them and fought for them! Seriously, order them during your next visit and leave dreaming about them in your sleep.
Now, after all the gouging, you'll get to finish off with a surprisingly delicious assortment of desserts. For an AYCE menu, the creme brulee was a creamy, caramel heaven! My friend couldn't stop at 5 orders! Also, everyone is given a Melona bar with their bill for a refreshing zing to end their meal. They've really upped the ante from the usual mint/guava candy you get with your bill, really.
So everyone, get your tongs out and prepare to have that food baby because Gyubee should be on your next meat trip!
