| - Gyubee advertises itself as a Japanese Bbq joint, but from the menu, you get more of a korean vibe: kimchi, ssamjang, garlic, bibimbap...and no udon or more traditional Japanese dishes?
The good:
Service here is really good which is nice for am extremely busy place.
Lunch option is also pretty good, at 20$ you pretty much get your favs from the dinner menu...trust me, the extras during dinner arent really worth in my opinion.
Restaurant is also kept pretty clean and the dishes / meats come quick!
The Bad:
kimchi. Just TERRIBLE. no dancing around this one.
Pork belly? more like bacon...it was that thin.
If they want to identify as a korean restaurant, a fermented soybean paste soup is a must pairing with bbq dishes...if not, then at least offer some udon to cleanse the pallet a bit after all the heavy meat!
Verdict: for the price point, average wait times and selection, I wouldn't say this place is a must. If you're dying for kbbq ayce (which is ironic cuz this is supposed to be japanese..), and in the area, I recommend lunch only, and just keep it simple, a little beef brisket, more Galbi, lettuce mushrooms and you can have a decent meal.
PROTIP#1: Grill your pork first, so the beef meats get extra bacony flavour!
PROTIP#2: order some mushrooms, place garlic in the mushrooms and add beef on top with ssamjang for a tasty flavor bomb!
