    This all-you-can-eat Japanese barbecue spot was honestly such a good experience. Literally endless sushi, tons of well-seasoned meats, and a huge menu with so many options to choose from. The quality of the food really stood out, everything tasted fresh and well made, especially the grilled meats. They were seasoned perfectly and cooked so well. The menu is actually really big, which I loved because there's something for everyone. From different types of sushi and rolls to a variety of meats and hot dishes, you definitely won't get bored. And the desserts were such a highlight. The crème brûlée was so good, and they even had matcha ice-cream. The interior is really nice too. It has more of a dark aesthetic, which makes it feel a bit upscale, but it was super lively inside. It was packed when I went, and the energy in the room was great. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic, just fun and vibrant. The service was also really good. Our server was so sweet and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, such a solid AYCE spot with great vibes, good quality food, and amazing dessert options. I'd definitely go back.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this AYCE located in Mississauga. Enjoyed it so much that I didn't take any pics of the food. The food was great. The sushi was fresh and so very good. Not too much rice with each piece. The meal was quality. Amazing cuts of meat. All very tender and well seasoned. Their cheese corn is pretty bomb also. And they serve cocktails! It was the evening and quite busy (lots of people waiting for a random Tuesday night). A reasonable volume but fairly frequently they play a birthday song. I soon found out why. Seems like anyone can have a birthday there. All of a sudden, it was my birthday (note, it was not my birthday) but we all laughed about it. They bring a big flashing board, sing happy birthday, they bang clappers and you get a little cup cake with a candle. No lie, the birthday song played between 10-15x during our meal. Statistically unlikely but hilarious and very amusing. They also offered 10% cash discount instead of 7%. We opted to pay with credit card so no discount but it was a nice offer regardless.

    Wanted to try a new kbbq place, but ended up at a jbbq place instead with sushi! The service was awesome, we came right before the rush and took our time as we had 2h to eat (seating limit) Listened to two birthday songs happen and had fun clapping and cheering haha The food was amazing, sushi was decent quality.. just a nice extra touch!

    Great jbbq spot! We walked in after work and were able to grab a seat right away. There was also sushi on the menu but didn't try it this time around as we were craving for bbq. I tried the udon which was yummy as well. The service was very attentive, they were clearing plates and taking our orders efficiently. Definitely would visit again while in the area!

    Great quality & value is usually less common to come by when dining at an AYCE restaurant but Gyu Kyou absolutely knocks it out of the park. I was introduced to this restaurant by my friend and have since revisited several times, each bringing new people to share this experience with. The quality of the food is amazing, and even when you're on a smaller menu like the lunch one, you still have plenty of solid options with immaculate flavor. My personal favorites are the sweet soy sliced brisket and the pressed salmon sushi. I also really enjoy their soft serve. Atmosphere is pretty cool and seating is ample, I like that most tables are booths, and even if you end up with a chair they are pretty comfy. There is also an automatic 12% gratuity charge and a 1.5hr dining time limit which is strictly enforced. I don't have a problem with this though because service is always on top of everything like refills, reordering, grill changes, etc. The only critique I have for this place is the birthday music they play at an obnoxious volume, when the song comes on you can literally hear it getting slightly distorted from how loud it is. I totally understand wanting to make someone's birthday celebration special and grand, all I'm suggesting is to turn the volume down like 5-10 levels. Especially because every time I've been to Gyu Kyou, they play the birthday song multiple times and after the second it gets kind of annoying from the volume. Highly recommend this spot for AYCE Japanese BBQ, it's honestly better than a lot of KBBQ spots in the GTA and you get more bang for your buck.

    Same as Yakiniku Legend. Deliciois japanese style BBQ with sushi. Their strip steak and miso pork belly were my top picks. Their sushi rolls especially the one topped with scallop is a must try. The only thing I felt that was not as good were the lychee pudding and their soft serve ice cream. Interior was very cool themed and modern. Be prepared for long waits as we queued for a table for 4 one hour before we had arrived at the location. Service has always been excellent with frequent grill changes and multiple servers walking around. The food started to come out as the server was punching in the rest of our order which we were all surprised by.

    Amazing Japanese BBQ spot! This has quickly flown to be top of my list for Japanese BBQ. There is such a great selection of an assortment of items from apps to meats, to side dishes. The servers are really attentive and are constantly around to take your orders. There's also ample parking in the plaza which makes it easy to roll into your car after having an amazing meal!

    Might be the best AYCE bbq in the GTA! I said it yes, better than gyubee. The meats were very good quality and they had very good appetizers that other places do not have like tempura king oyster mushroom and spicy rock shrimp. The sushi was very refreshing and good quality not fishy at all. Highly recommend pressed salmon sushi and fire dragon roll. Service was fast and efficient there was a server walking by very often. It was easy to order. Ambiance is a bit dark interior and the restaurant was average size. They had a nice restroom. Thankfully my party arrived around 5 on sunday there wasn't a wait list but once 6-7 o'clock came there was a huge waitlist.

    Enjoying grill time!

    Got a little hesitant to go here coz of the time limit of 1hr and 45mins and plus we have to cook but ended up staying for an hour which is just enough time for us! Ambiance is appealing! There is a partition on the booths which made it feel Very private on each side . I gave 4 stars coz of the limited choice of the desserts and the time limit! It was a great experience for the whole family but be careful while cooking as the flame gets bigger because of the oil of the meat! A must to try is the pressed salmon sushi! The vanilla ice cream has a distinctive taste different from other commercialise vanilla ice creams! We'll probably be back for a special occasion !

    Great selection of marinated meat, seafood, veggies, sushi, and kitchen items. Ample seating, quick service and friendly staff. Plus we only had to wait 15 minutes during prime dining hours, and the online wait list was very convenient.

    Service is absolutely abysmal. We come on a Thursday evening and it's PACKED. The wait list had 36 groups on, several groups of 2. Why? Because this place doesn't allow reservations for parties 5-6 or greater. We joined the wait list around 7:30 pm. We were told to check in at 8:25 pm, upon doing this we were then told by the moron host that "I have to send you a text to check in first". We check in again at 8:54p pm, still no message. Last call is at 10:10 pm and there was only around an hour to order. While writing this it had been nearly an hour and a half since joining the wait list and we are ONLY 6th in line due to other groups dropping out of the wait. DO NOT do date night here. Plans will be eviscerated by the severe lack of organization regarding seating. If you want to eat here, john wait list 2 hrs prior to arrival.

    Brittany I.

    Came here on a Monday night, and they cancelled our reservation if it was under 6 people. Which was fine because we had a party of 4 and there was no wait time at the time. Food- a lot of variety to choose from. Great thin and flavourful cuts of meat. Sushi was good as well! A great variety of items that can meet the pallette of a group. Service- attentive and polite. They were so sweet and the food came so quickly :) Birthday special* - they come out with a large sign and a small dessert. They sing!! Overall would recommend for ayce. Would come back!

The BBQ beef short ribs were a standout, with a beautifully caramelized char that added a touch of sweetness to the rich, tender meat.

Service & Atmosphere: Five Stars The service here was truly exceptional... super quick, genuinely friendly, and so very kind. From seating to check out, the staff was attentive and really made the experience a pleasure. The interior is decorated well with a fun, slightly nautical vibe, but my absolute favorite feature was the artistic touch on the way to the restroom. There are these vibrant wall paintings that are clearly designed to be photo ops, and I loved that they encouraged patrons to snap a picture. It's those little details that really elevate the atmosphere! The Captain's Boil: Good, but Different Now, to the food. Full disclosure: I lived in Georgia for 12 years, and nothing is ever going to beat a seasoned, authentic Florida crab boil in my mind. However, this boil is pretty darn good in its own right. I went with the Non-Spicy Captain Boil (which is a mixed seafood option) and loaded it up with lobster, potatoes, and an egg. The seasoning was flavorful and well-balanced, though it leaned a little less toward the heavy Cajun spice blend I'm used to. It delivered a scrumptiously satisfying seafood experience. Everything was cooked perfectly the 1.5lb lobster was tender, and the potatoes soaked up the sauce so very nicely. I would definitely go back the next time I'm craving a seafood boil.

My friend got the garlic sauce and I got the original Seau de Crabe sauce (we both got our sauces on the side). We both thought the original sauce was much more flavourful.

I'm not sure how much my friend putting us on wait list before arriving helped but we waited about 30 mins before it was our turn. There were 5 of us (4 adults and one toddler) and we were in a booth for four adults. The booths are pretty small considering all the things you can order. Luckily our booth was against a wall with space to put the dishes that didn't fit on the table. Dinner service was very busy as it was difficult to flag down a server to order.

The second time we got them it was just the same, so they are definitely consistent with the quality. Deep Fried Calamari in a cone (box) - perfectly fried calamari rings with just the right amount of chewiness & flavour. Tip: I asked for the seaside sauce on the side to dip it in & it was perfect! Seafood paella - okay I am a bit biased because I have a Venezuelan brother in law and have eaten home cooked authentic paella but this I gotta say was actually pretty good for a quick seafood bar place! The rice was fresh & flavourful & there was shrimp or squid in almost every bite! If you're looking for seafood that is not fried and some hearty rice this is a great option. Deep Fried Fish Tacos - loved these tacos and definitely getting them again, we got them with lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole. We added some type of honey sauce that gave just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the whole meal. Crab Poutine - this dish was FILLED with cheesy goodness and their signature sea side sauce which is similar to a garlic sauce IMO Deep Fried Scallop Tacos - the scallops were perfectly fried but also juicy and chewy at the same time just as they should be, really enjoyed this one Salmon tacos - What I loved here was that the salmon was grilled and seasoned well, the toppings we got complimented it perfectly and it was a good balance with the rest of the fried food hehe Deep Fried Fish in a cone (box) - the fish was so fresh and flakey on the inside and well seasoned too, I'm definitely a fish lover lol and this was heaven to me, not sure what sort of fish was used my guess is basa maybe lol idk but it was just delish though ya know your girl wouldn't say it otherwise. Not pictured: Deep Fried Calamari Tacos - perfectly crispy calamari rings nestled in soft taco shells topped with lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole. We added the garlic sauce on this one and it was soooo yummy. Overall we absolutely relished our seafood feast and BOTH times and were super full by the end.

Unfortunately being pregnant with gestational diabetes I am quite limited to how much carbs and sugar I can have in a meal and it was hard to choose what to get since they didn't have a nutritional breakdown.

Reason for deducting one star is because although the batter was the same for the shrimp and calamari, the calamari was HELLLLLLLLA salty to the point that I had to remove all the breading.

For AYCE with 4 people, we found this confusing and frustrating. A tablet or paper ordering system would have been much more efficient. The QR menu also had virtually no descriptions. When we asked our server what certain meats were, she couldn't explain them and essentially told us to "just try it." That's not reasonable when you're paying for food you don't finish. We also had difficulty getting explanations about how to cook some of the meats. Communication with our server was extremely difficult; multiple times we asked questions and received a smile and "OK" without an actual answer. The meat itself was decent, but there wasn't much variety that we enjoyed. We found ourselves ordering the same few items repeatedly, and many of the meats tasted very similar. The sides and appetizers were much more disappointing. Everything seemed to be covered in sugar. Both variations of their fries we tried were covered in sugar and seemed undercooked, and even things as simple as bean sprouts tasted off. There simply weren't many sides we wanted, so we ended up eating mostly meat and rice. Which was disappointing for the cost. The grill changes were another major issue. During our 2-hour dining period, while we were still actively cooking, the server came over several times, lifted the grill with a tool, shook the food onto the new grill, and removed the old one. This happened around 4-5 times. Food that was still cooking was lost in the process, meaning we had to reorder and start cooking again. With such a strict time limit, this felt especially unnecessary. We were also told with 30 minutes remaining that if we wanted dessert, we had to order it immediately -- while we were still eating dinner and ordering more meat. I understand having a last call, but requiring us to decide on dessert while we were still actively eating felt excessive. The one-ice-cream-per-person limit also felt unnecessarily stingy for the price. We were also disappointed to find there was no sushi available despite seeing sushi listed online, and the QR menu we received appeared different from what we had seen beforehand. Overall, the experience felt overly complicated and restrictive. The meat was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the confusing ordering system, lack of menu descriptions, difficulty communicating with staff, limited sides, repeated grill changes, and strict time restrictions. I chose Gyubee specifically because of its high ratings and spent a lot of time deciding where to take my family. Unfortunately, we all left feeling disappointed. Maybe other locations are different, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return or recommend it.
