This place had an ambiance that made you feel cozy and at home. The service was fast too. We liked…read morehow the server was attentive and had a warm smile all the time. It's our first time here at Tian Ya BBQ which is a decent Korean-style AYCE BBQ restaurant in Barrie. We usually go to ones in Markham and/or North York. Their fried spring rolls and scallops (4/5) were delicious with a good crisp on the outside, giving you a crunch with every bite. The spring rolls could use some more filling. The Volcano Roll was enjoyable (3.5/5). We liked how they had fried batter on the outside to elevate the texture of the dish. The cream cheese was a delight. The portions were big. The actual Korean-style BBQ was okay (3/5). The kimchi was a bit salty for us. We were hoping it would have more of the tangy, fermented taste to it as well. We liked that it was crunchy and tasted fresh. Their lettuce was also fresh. They did use iceberg lettuce instead of romaine which was different from what we regularly have at other places. We had pork, beef, beef short ribs and squid for grilling. Both the pork and beef were thinly sliced and tender. The beef short ribs were marinated well. Maybe a bit more sesame oil, garlic and ginger to the marinade mixture would really help bring out the sweetness and the umami of the meat. The cuts were okay; the meats could have been balanced with some fat/marbling to keep them juicy. We were also looking to have some ssamjang (fermented soybean paste) and sesame oil with salt to go with the meat. Overall, an okay place to go for AYCE Korean BBQ in Barrie.

I had chicken from here years ago and it was great but last night I went in and the place was…read moreincredibly dirty. There's dust and dirt all over the place. The person handling the food was on a computer with a mouse that clearly hadn't been cleaned for a long time. He kept coughing without covering his mouth. So far it was a terrible experience. I ordered a half chicken meal. The chicken was clearly at least a day old and just reheated. It was over cooked. The skin was very yellow and grey looking. It had a lot of veins in it and dried blood marks. The taste was okay but avoiding the veins made it hard to want to eat. The garlic bread was covered in oil and the baked potato was obviously microwaved. I'll never come back here! The place has went down hill.

Outstanding food and service - just like in all other The Keg locations we've been to. Weekends and…read moreevenings are always busy, but our walk-in wait time wasn't too long (~10 minutes). Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable in all the menu items (glad that she alerted that the pistachio-crusted roasted salmon would come with maple butter, so I could order the dish without it / put it on the side). I love that all menu items are customizable in all The Keg locations (can sub in, take out, or add certain ingredients or add-ons such as vegetables). They always have at least 1 vegetarian main dish on the menu, which tends to change every once in a while. We tried their most recent one, The Harvest Bowl, which consisted of basmati rice, falafels, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and spiced yogurt. It was alright. They provided the option of choosing how I wanted the roasted salmon to be cooked (e.g. medium, medium well, well done, etc.) - always great to have that choice. The broccoli and mixed vegetables (which I asked as a substitute for the mashed potatoes) were excellent, as always.

I substituted S&S Ribs with S&S Chicken Balls - the Chicken was dry, overcooked and chewy. The predominant taste of the Hot & Sour Soup was Cayenne. All heat, no other flavour! The Chicken Fried Rice was really greasy. The Egg Rolls were very underwhelming. The Chicken Chop Suey was mostly Bean Sprouts with very little Chicken and Veg. I definitely will not be ordering from here again.

You are looking to spend about $5 on any treat, like a brownie, or a chocolate covered cookie dough ball.

The hello dollies were far tastier than I had expected, and the chocolate covered cookie dough balls are now things that I'm going to the consider making at home.

Some of my family favourites are their "Snickers" and "Butterfinger" bars, cheesecakes and donuts. I've also tried quite a few of their apps, which are tasty, but our experience was that anything breaded does not hold up well through the cooking process (the breading falls off). Staff here is always friendly and they have a great variety of items in a small space.
