    We had a deeply disappointing and upsetting experience my family and I had during our recent visit…read moreto your restaurant while on a trip to Blue Mountain from Texas. We visited during lunch hours and noticed there were no other customers dining in at the time. Despite our children politely saying hello, we received no greeting or acknowledgment from the staff. When we inquired about the lunch specials and asked if it would be possible to substitute Yuka sushi with avocado and cucumber rolls, the person at the front desk became visibly irritated. As we were about to place a to-go order, we asked for some water -- a seemingly simple request that caused the staff member to become outright furious. What happened next was completely unacceptable. While my daughter was finishing her water, the staff member suddenly shouted at us to "GET OUT." I asked him to repeat what he said, and he yelled again, escalating the situation. I even offered to pay for the water, but he continued to scream aggressively. This experience was not only unprofessional, it was outright hostile. No one should be treated this way in any establishment, let alone in a place of hospitality. Based on this encounter, it is clear that this individual lacks the temperament and customer service skills necessary to work in the food industry. Not a very great ambiance or atmosphere.

    Regretted not reviewing comments before eating there. Ordered a 25 items combo, after eating a…read morecouple of items, I realized only 15 left, obviously the order came in short, I asked the order person if this is a mistake, but he refused to accept it and replied in rude manner saying stupid question, never happened. I then went to the restaurant's review comments and saw the similar experience from other customers. Really bad experience. .

    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.

    This is a great hole in the wall restaurant. Service with a…read moresmile. Average Korean BBQ. Kimchi and wanton soup were good. My only complaint would be that the electric cooktop is a bit slow.
