Amazing food and unlimited meat. Enjoyed the food and service. It's also a reasonable pricing .

Great food ! And the service was very accommodating and helped our kids quite a bit.

Came as a group of two. I totally forgot you can join the waitlist on the Yelp app, so I ended up waiting 2.5 hours and got seated at 10. Lesson learned. It was worth it though! I almost ordered everything on the menu, and everything was good. The steak miso was my favorite cut. read more

B and I finally get to try this place. We came here for dinner and we did the premium meat. I think we did get our money's worth given beef prices has gone up so much. But is it worth it, I would say meh. The place wasn't very busy when we showed up for dinner. All in with taxes and tip was $130 for two people. I really liked the creme brulee. The beef served were good quality fresh meat. Unfortunately B and I are not able to eat that much. Our favorite was the hanger steak and the miso beef. We loved the ribeye. We got 3 of those. Service was a bit of a miss. Food came quick at the beginning and half way through server was hard to flag down and when we were able to flag him down our order took a long time to show up which was not cool. Decor of the place was ok. I am guessing because it is new, all their grills are quite new. Gyubee is a Toronto chain. If you compare Toronto prices and here after taxes and everything the prices at the end of the day works out to be the same eventhough Toronto is around $10 cheaper. We prefer their competitor Gyu Kaku because we don't have to eat so stuff and there are a lot more choices. read more

Food great. Service great. Restaurant clean. Online waitlist works but was quite delayed in the end. Taking off one star because they don't take credit card. For a well established international chain, this was a surprise. read more

I came here as a group of 5 an hour before closing and the restaurant was still very packed. Make sure to join the waitlist ahead of time! Since it was busy, we were waiting a while for some of our items to arrive and if we did not remind the waitress, I don't think we would have received the order. One of our orders actually got completely forgotten. Food was good and there is a big variety of items you can order. Quality also seems to be decent. The reason for my lower rating was because of the experience with payment. The bill was split and I guess some people in the group did not tip. The waitress gave us attitude and then later, the manager personally came out with the dish that we needed to remind the staff for and brought back the card machine just to have the tip paid. The rest of the dinner was kind of awkward since we were also asked to pay before the meal ended. read more

The quality of the meat here is excellent and the flavours of the food were delicious! This spot is super busy, as we came here on a Thursday evening and had to wait nearly 4 hours for a table. The staff were not as attentive as they were super busy. But the restaurant was clean and comfortable for diners. I would come back here but make sure to join the waitlist hours before you plan to come. By the time we got seated around 9pm, we didn't have much time to order since the restaurant was about to close. read more

We got there just in time, 6:30 pm, literally before the crowd. Vera was our server and she did a great job explaining how it all worked! Her recommendations were spot on. While we enjoyed everything, the standouts for us were the Prime Kalbi, the Miso Beef Brisket, the Chicken Wings, and the Mushroom Medley. Great environment, good pricing, and fantastic staff - a def must visit!!! read more

Gyubee is easily one of our favourite all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ spots in Richmond, and we can confidently say the price is worth it. We've tried both lunch and dinner, and honestly--both are great value. The meat is fresh, well-cut, and there's a good variety to choose from, so you never feel bored while grilling. One thing we really appreciate is how small the portions are for sides like rice, noodles, and bibimbap. It lets you try a bit of everything without wasting food--and you can always order more if you want. That thoughtful portioning makes the experience feel balanced, not overwhelming. Service is efficient despite how busy it gets, and the meal always ends on a high note with dessert (the soft-serve never disappoints). One tip: arrive early. There's almost always a 30-60 minute wait, especially during peak hours--but it's worth it. Highly recommend for BBQ lovers who want variety, value, and a consistently satisfying experience. read more

MEAT CENTRAL. What can I say except to come hungry and eat a lot!! The staff were very attentive and patient and friendly. It was great to be served by them. Every meat type was so delicious and marinated well - it was hard to pick a favourite! I also really enjoyed their cold tofu side dish and miso soup. The sake marinated clams were also interesting and so tasty. And don't forget dessert! Creme brulee for days. read more

One the best Japanese bbq places I've been to. Must say the service from Rouzo was top notch. He was swamped with 9 tables but still held it down. Putting in all of our requests. The food was delicious. Our favorites were the thick cut pork belly and miso beef. I really liked that even though it's Japanese bbq it comes with Kim chi! This place only takes cash and Canadian debit. They do have an ATM machine on site. They do charge a bad exchange rate but when you're in a pinch it's an option, so come prepared. read more

Returned for lunch a couple months after having dinner here, and I enjoyed their lunch menu a lot more! The price and selection is almost half of what it is for dinner, but I felt it was more worth it. Our favourite items were the black pepper galbi and the miso beef brisket. The galbi slices were thick and tender, and we definitely ate our money's worth. The cold noodles, takoyaki and bibimbap were really good as well. Out of all the sides, I enjoyed the spinach and cold tofu. The buttered corn is a must. Our server was very sweet and attentive, and tried to get our food out quickly despite the lunch rush. Definitely join the online waitlist about an hour to 30 mins before when you want to be seated, or you'll be waiting for a while. They also let us know that their ssamjang, chili powder and salad dressing contained nuts, which was very helpful. The quality and service are both great for an AYCE spot. For $30-33, the lunch menu is definitely worth checking out! read more

Overall a moderately well experience. Came here on a weekend and expecting a wait, we joined the queue early at 1pm or so and ended up with a table just before 5pm. They accept cash or debit only and are very clear about this. While the server was friendly, there were orders that were missed and it felt as though my party had to keep following up with the servers to get the food we ordered. At one point, the server also turned the stove off because of a big flame, said he turned it back on and insisted it was turned on yet wasn't. They are very prompt to get you to leave on time at the 2h mark so plan accordingly read more

TLDR: Highly recommend trying out Gyubee, it's clean/has a well structured service team. Combined with flavor that's unique, quality meats and drinks that you would not be disappointed in. Can't wait to come back and thanks again Gary! This place was definitely worth the hype. We joined the waitlist at 5:00 PM last Sunday, estimated wait time was around 6:15-6:35 PM. Ended up getting sat around 6:45. Our server Gary was amazing, he was on top of everything and got all the food/drinks out in 5-10 minutes even though it was crowded. Also, he was very attentive to us and got our orders and any requests in super fast. He served us with a smile every time! Our favorite was the marinated beef's and pork belly, miso and garlic are highly recommended! Honorable mentions were the chicken wings which were crispy and juicy! The clam and salmon, were buttery and creamy! The pineapple was surprisingly a great side with everything else (we've never came across a bbq spot that has pineapple!) The portions were small (unless you requested to have more servings per plate) but that just gave us more belly room to try other dishes! read more

Our first time trying Gyubee and we enjoyed it. We came without reservations and the guy in front, instead of turning us away, asked us to wait 10 mins for a more definitive response. We were about to leave for another restaurant when he told us that 10 tables are settling their bills and a table should be available for us soon. And it did. He has very good customer service skills for sure - very accommodating and pleasant with his words - he surely convinced us to stay and earned a customer. Thomas, our server was great. He was attentive and checked on us for more orders, clear the dishes and recommended some cuts. He made sure we tried different meats on our first round then it was up to us to order subsequently. Food was great. We especially loved the thin Kalbi cuts, the soy marinated steak and corn...not to say the other cuts weren't as tasty. It's a mix of Korean and Japanese dishes and sauces. The space is huge. Thomas informed us that there's 36 tables averaging 4 per table with some accommodating more. It was packed and people were still lining up outside. Cash and debit card only. read more

We had a very wonderful experience, eating here at this restaurant. Although the wait was quite long, we actually were in the waitlist for about two hours, but the wait was definitely worth it because we once we got the seat we had unlimited all you can eat Japanese barbecue. We had really amazing meat and the quality of the food. The service was just absolutely wonderful. The meat came in smaller than expected portions, but we just ended up ordering a lot more, which turned out just fine. The ambience of the restaurant is absolutely wonderful as well because there is really good decorations all around and centrally located read more

Always have such a good experience here, there's 2 options, lunch or dinner menu, the dinner menu is so worth it, premium meats and more dish selections! Please get their crème brûlée !! The service is great the first round and then they start slowing down/forgetting your orders, don't be shy to remind them:) read more

I forgot to take a picture, but the host was very friendly and accommodating. We had seven people at 8 pm and it was hard to get a seat around richmond. I got the all you can eat. The beef are all great. The bimbimbap is delicious. The portions for each side dishes are small, so it's nice to just get one of each. read more

Such a great place To have high-quality food with friends and family. The restaurant is newly renovated with modern decorations. I really like how smokeless all their barbecue stoves are. The restaurant is clean and you can barely smell anything. As soon as we sat down, our server greeted us and explained the all-you-can-eat menu and informed us about the dining time with some food recommendations. Throughout the meal time, she checked in with us often, our cups were never empty. I was very pleased with the service. The meat quality is very fresh, and our order came within 5 minutes each time when we order. The portion is small but because it's AYCE, you can order unlimited times. The price is on the higher scale, but it's worth it in my opinion. If you want some high quality BBQ meat with friends and family, this is the right place to be. Just put yourself on the waitlist early enough so you don't end up doing a one or two hours wait. read more

Came here twice. One for their all day menu and one for their lunch. Biggest difference is the rib steak and prime kalbi. There are other extras but not too special. In my opinion the prime kalbi is good but the rib steak is not. So, paying $20 extra for prime kalbi is not worth it for me. If only they offered scallops and other seafood on the all day menu haha. For the lunch menu, there are plenty of choices already which makes $30.99-32.99 a good deal. I usually go for beef and pork for bbq as chicken takes forever to cook. Love that they have takoyaki and bibimbap, both delicious. The creme brulee is what seals the deal. Its so good and no where else has creme brulee ayce. The final ice cream is one per person. Its frozen solid but good quality ice cream. read more

When it was our turn, the girl at the front told us to wait a little more, we waited and waited but still not getting seated. Then she suddenly came to us and looked extremely impatient and annoyed, and said the table is ready with a frown on her face. That to me is a 1/5 rating already. I have been going to different gyubee in toronto for a million times, first time at Vancouver location, I'm pretty disappointed at the first impression because of her. If you are going to have someone be at the front, at least train her to be nice and friendly:) However, Our waiter is super super nice to us, he is fast and very friendly. We are really happy about his service and that's why I added 2 stars back no one at once in 2 hours refilled our water and both of our cup was completely empty. This was not ok. Food wise is pretty consistent to what we usually have at gyubee. It's nice they put the cooking time on the foil. This location also have high ceiling and big table read more

This used to be the old Boston Pizza location and it took so long to reopen because they had to hook up gas lines to each and every table for table top cooking. The place is really clean and spacious inside. It's a bit loud, but it was prime dinner time and gas fire cooking is going on at every table. There's a strict 2-hour limit for every table. When we were sat, we were rushed to order, the server came by every 2 minutes to get us started with food orders, and we hadn't even got to page four of the menu yet. The All You Can Eat is pretty good. Once you realize that the meat cuts are not exactly as pictured, and are pretty thin cuts, you can adjust your ordering, cooking, and eating strategy to accommodate for the thin meat cuts. You order the meats cuts by the piece and they are rather thin, so don't be shy if you have to order 6-12 pieces per person. You can eat the bbq with rice or lettuce. If you prefer the lettuce wrap style, you can stack the thin alices of meat on top of each other. The meat itself is good quality, and the rib eye steak is the star of the show. There was a good variety and good quality of meats, side dishes, and appetizers. A few adjustments I wouldn't mind seeing: - include an electric button to signal a server like in some Korean restaurants. - bring extra napkins to the table, if people are eating with lettuce wrap, they'll need napkins to wipe and clean their hands. - the ice cream and crème brûlée should be served with a real spoon, not the tiny wooden paddles. All in all, we will be back, I just don't like feeling rushed to order and get out when we had about 45 minutes left in our stay for two people. read more

Great experience as usual from Gyubee. Staff were great. Good has improved with the beef slices being more marbled with more flavor than previous visits. Maybe a better batch this time? Only thing was that our 7 yr old kiddo had just about touched the 130cm height limit, so had to pay full the full $55 price, despite her eating basically a few pieces of beef, some veggies and a bowl of rice. Not to fault them at all but it does make it less economically sound to take her there until she's big enough to eat closer to an adult sized portion. Dining room was bustling and noisy as usual for a weekend. Some of the customers were a bit rowdy for a n early evening dining crowd and the washrooms could certainly use more attention with the floors completely soaked in the men's room. I'd still highly recommend this place, but if you plan on bringing kids, maybe check how your little one's height stacks up against the 130cm limit and set your cost expectations accordingly. read more

Was really looking forward to trying out Gyubee in Richmond as I had a great experience when I tried out one of the restaurant in Montreal. We went for the lunch menu which is priced at $32.99 per an adult on Fri-Sun. They also have an all day menu for $53.99 on Fri-Sun too that offers more premium meat and a few more varieties of dishes and desserts. Mon - Thur pricing is slightly less too. We were pretty happy with the lunch menu as it has a good amount of selection and service was very quick and attentative. There is a 2 hour limit per a table and the staff is very friendly and remind you ahead of time to ensure you have smoke off time to order and finish your food. Overall a really nice experience and would like visit again to try their all day menu for their sake clams and creme brulee. read more

A large group of us came here for dinner through a recommendation from a family member. Food: 5/5 - they offer a good selection of meat to grill. They had beef, chicken, and seafood (such as shrimp, squid, salmon, and clam). We had several repeat requests for Miso Marinated Steak to grill. The group's favorite. My favorite was the Nagoya Style Chicken wings. Very crispy and nicely flavored. You order by quantity. For vegetarians, they had vegetables, and tofu. If you're a big eater, this place is for you Service: 5/5 - the servers especially James were efficient and were able to keep up with our constant food order. It didn't take long to get our food. They take reservations. We were reminded a few times that our dining time limit was 2 hrs on a weekend. In addition, they only accept cash or debit. Ambiance: 4/5 - nice atmosphere to the place. The challenge is that at a table of 6 people, there's only one grill to cook your food. You're constantly cooking and there's not much time to eat. There's complimentary parking in the lot but it gets busy during peak hours. They're located off Ackroyd in the Price Smart Foods parking lot on the other side of the strip mall. read more

Had the pleasure of going to Gyubee and reserved a table for 9 people. I'm so glad we did because it was really busy! We went for the AYCE ( adult 54 bucks ) and it was really good! I particularly enjoyed their Kalbi prime! So tender and nicely marbled. Our server Jimmy was awesome I told him it was our first time, and he recommended some of the popular items! Keep in mind, there's a 2 hr limit! And it's only debit or cash only!!! I will definitely be coming back again! read more

The reservation desk needs a bit of improvement. But once seated our waitress Esme carefully explained how the AYCE dinner worked. She was always attentive and the food was delivered quickly and full of flavour. I would definitely go again, but make sure you arrive at least 30mins ahead. As your table may be given away if your name is called and you aren't there to respond. read more

The highly anticipated, long-awaited, popular from Toronto AYCE bbq....Gyubee. I have tried this place in Toronto and had a very positive experience, so I also had to try it here. First and foremost, I experienced the ridiculous wait (and survived) - I think I was 99th in line at around 5:30pm and we sat right around 9:30pm. 4 hour wait yes ridiculous but I didn't plan to eat anytime before 8 anyway as I was out running errands and growing my appetite. Definitely consider the time you want to dine at and be cautious of the waitlist and the restaurant's last call (around 10:30pm). As soon as we sat down, our server (John - bless that man he is awesome) immediately came and took our order. I ordered one plate of every beef they had and one type of pork and sausage. There are also lots of side dishes (veggies, noodles, rice) and sadly I only came with one other person otherwise I would've loved to order everything and try it. The meat is good - no complaints there. The kalbi is divine and the rib eye steak is a great option for leaner cuts of meat. Service is very attentive and it's easy to order more anytime you want. Finally, the dessert was a great way to finish our meal. I was STUFFED but somehow managed to have both the ice cream and the creme brulee. The ice cream was on the sweeter and less creamy side which worked well with the creaminess of the creme brulee. For $53.99, I will say if you can eat a good amount of meat it's a cost I am willing to pay on that occasional night I am craving tons of bbq meat. See you next time Gyubee! read more

If I can give NO star at all I will . IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO COME HERE FOR LATE NIGHT DINNER. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. It's a newly opened in Richmond , their business hours says they are open until 11pm but when we get there at 10:20 the host said they are already closed . I thought you closed at 11. I work at a restaurant too and we do last call 15 mins before closing . I love eating out and all the restaurants I have been are the same. The owner was sitting by the entrance and giving hand signal to the host not to take us anymore . Such a bad businessman . If you don't like customers then just close shop . read more

Pros Planned to get the Lunch Menu ($30) but upgraded to the All Day Menu ($50) and it was absolutely worth the extra $20 The Lunch Menu does not include the crème brûlée and it is a must order. Do not skip it One of the best AYCE Japanese BBQ spots in Vancouver right now Newly renovated space with a nice ambience Cons Long wait times especially on weekends so plan ahead The restrooms were a huge letdown.

The food was pretty good, especially the wagyu. There was a pretty good selection of food and definitely pretty worth the price if you have a good appetite. Our waiter was very kind and helpful with recommendations and descriptions of the food. Sometimes it would take a while to track our waiter down though as there were a lot of patrons. Something that wasn't as good was the wait times. We had to wait 1 hour 20 minutes on a Thursday at 6 pm. I suggest getting a place in line online beforehand. Additional information would be that you have 2 hours to eat, it's AYCE and they tell you last call 20 minutes before your 2 hour limit is up. read more

Amazing food. Good service and wonderful ambiance. Second time here and just as good as the first. Will be back again.
