Tian Ya BBQ in Barrie

Great food but small cooking areas. Attentive service.

One of the best places to eat in the city, recommended to any and all who are looking for a great and unique experience with Korean bbq where you can cook your own food on a grill in the middle of your table while you sit with your friends and chat. Great time.

Great idea for a restaurant, all the premade food was amazing. The raw food you cook yourself was perfectly marinated and tasted amazing. There is only 1 thing that could be done better and that is more of a selection of seasoning and sauces to use but the meat by its self tasted so good I'm not even bothered by that. Definitely will be back

Great food, very friendly and attentive staff. Prices are reasonable for all-you-can-eat, around $25-30 each with drinks.

Uses electric grills vs gas like at most places I've been too. The marinades are not overpowering. It's a good place for quantity. This place is better than some of the GTA joints as it also has hot food. Prices are reasonable.

good food on BBQ and from kitchen friendly staff good price

Comparable to Toronto Korean BBQ. Electric grill is just as fast, the meal is meant to be for slow with conversation. Very enjoyable marinades, a variety of meat and vegetables. Dim sum, Chinese and korean sides available. Hot Sake and Saporo are the ticket. Perfect for dates, groups of friends and families. My children loved grilling! Thank you for a lovely evening.

Fantastic place hidden away in downtown Barrie!The lamb is amazing and so is the pork sausage. It's small but that's the only downside I can think of. Do yourself a favour and come hungry.

Never let down here. The quality of meat and food is outstanding. The staff is always on point with cleaning up dishes off the table.. also I really do like the kimchee here. 100% recommends the experience

This restaurant is very good but for vegetarians and vegan pals there isn't much of a selection. I do recommend it because the portions are a good size and good quality for the price. The service is quick and everyone was happy with their meal!

It was all really delicious and we had great fun selecting and cooking - it made for a really interactive and sociable meal out. The choice was fantastic and there was a good drinks menu- the house white wine really good and it was a really good price. We would highly recommend visiting Tian Ya BBQ.

Impeccable service. Everything tasted fresh. Only thing that could have been better would be real coal bbq.

This lady is so good here. Food is awesome. Bbq takes a little longer then chako. Soooo good love it here.

Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food is marinated and thinly sliced. It cooks up quickly. Appetizers (Chinese food) are all precooked and you can eat immediately. I think everything but the 'meat,' 'seafood' and 'vegetable' sections comes precooked. We ordered everything at once, and it came out really quickly.Next time I might order appetizers first, and the meat second. Also, whatever you wear will smell like you cooked meat in it.Here are photos of the order sheet. Mine got a little wet, sorry. Lunch on one side, dinner on the other.

Went for the first time with my family today.We have eaten at this type of place before.Food was OK, the sauce on the meat was basically the same on every type of meat and very salty. The lamb was very nice, the beef OK, the chicken was chopped into little pieces, I'm guessing so it cooked quicker on the grill. Service was good. The grills are electric and not quick to cook, as another poster mentioned the gas ones at other places are very quick.The starters and food ordered from the kitchen were very good.The atmosphere was OK, it soon got filled with folks, they played 'Christian' rock music which got a bit repetitive after a while.Wasn't the worst place I've eaten, not sure if we'd rush back, tab came to 133.00 for 2 adults 2 teenagers and a 6 year old. We had 1 beer 1 wine and pops.

Great food...good price....no msg...friendly staff

So I first went in quite nervous. God was I wrong. Atmosphere was great. Variety around 50 meals. The food was great. Plus being able to Watch your food cook and hearing the sizzle was super satisfying. If there was one thing g I would do is make the chairs more comfortable. Just a personal opinion though. Overall 10/10

Not what it’s all made out to be. I have been to Korean Grill in Toronto, which are thousand times better. Here you’re cooking on electric grill which takes twice as long, unsanitary not worth the money. Honestly if you want the true authentic, go to Toronto, so much better!!!! I do not recommend this and will never come back.

Amazing! So many options for food, fast service and not super busy

Staff is super nice the food is amazing

Service and food were great and it was really fun cooking at the table.

Great food, grill your own food on table

My colleagues and I went for lunch and really enjoyed it. I liked the marinade for the meats; the beef was especially good. Even for a first time visit, it was straight forward. The service was excellent, fast, accurate, and not over-bearing. I have no complaints, if I were to change anything it would only be the chop sticks - they're plastic so they're very slippery but we managed! I'll definitely be bringing my out of town friends here!

Great food, great prices and super friendly staff.

Little different of a place for me, cooking my own food was new. But the people are very friendly and the food was very good.An actual all you can eat, they will keep brining it as long as you keep eating .Simple décor, which doesn't bother me at all.

Great service, awesome food! Good place in Barrie for all you can eat BBQ!

Had lunch here yesterday and was pleased with the meal. I'm not sure why this place isn't busy. Everyone should try Korean BBQ and give these hard working people some business. I know we all love the Mandarin but there are lots of other choices for lunch in Barrie.

Amazing food! I came here twice and I enjoyed both times here. The food is amazing, it’s flavourful and diverse. I think this is more Chinese style than Japanese style, but I like them anyway! It’s all you can eat food with the price about 25$ per person. It’s a good price for all you can eat food! It’s quite smelly because of all the bbq stuff so I suggest that you should not wear anything fancy! The services is amazing everyone is friendly here and don’t be shy to ask them for more food! They will be more than happy to do so

Great service, and the food was very good. For a party of two the grill was okay. For four it would be to slow.

I go here alllll the time with my teen daughter. The value and service are beyond amazing. Great healthy fresh food ~ and TONS of it. Besides for being able to grill your own food - the one price all-you-can-eat menu ALSO includes already made dishes like sweet and sour pork.... and many more. And to grill the food it's as simple as throwing it on the grill.

We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The meat was so tender and well seasoned. You cannot beat the price for all-you-can eat fresh food.

Amazing food, great price♡ only diffulty was the bathroom on is on a different floor.

Over all good spot, BBQ is not real flame but element but still tasty

My first time here and I loved it so much I'm leaving this review from my table. Awesome food, service and vibe. I'll be back for sure.

The only Korean BBQ place in Barrie or Simcoe County for that matter. This is a family run restaurant that has excellent service and good quality food. The concept is you are brought marinated meat (beef, lamb, fish, chicken) and vegetables and you grill this as your table. They have an all you can eat price that includes soups, appetizers, mains and dessert. Excellent value for money. Especially on weekday lunch.

Loved this stop in Barrie! Got us off Hwy 11 where it's worst on way home from cottage! Nicely decorated. Clean. Fast service! Freshest food! Great marinades for the meat! Loved the lamb! Perfect for two or for families! We will be back!!

Very tasty and reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive staff.

What a gem in the Barrie,ON area! No kidding! The food was delish! and the service always came with a smile from the staff. The meat selection was wide and the taste was very deep. I was a little skeptical before trying this place, but it is now definitely on our list of favorite places to go when we are craving for tasty Korean bbq.

Price is reasonable and good variety of selections.

Best place to eat as a family....

I will keep coming back as the food is delicious the staff is beyond friendly and helpful and the kimchi is to die for. <3 this place

The food was excellent in preparation. Sauces were great. The pork was especially delicious. The service was great. The location is right downtown, but not too crowded. A great place to eat.

Service was amazing, waitress came to our table immediately any time we needed something. The meat was very savory and well marinated. Great and unique experience, would recommend to anyone.

What a fantastic restaurant. Great service and great food. We will definitely be coming back. A unique experience where you can bbq your own lunch or food

Good service and meat

Very cheap place for ALYCE but the taste is plain. Not a lot of options but you pay for what you get.

Great food and lovely staff!

Good fun night out. Very good variety for price. Meat seasoned so nicely. Server was very helpful and very quick to take away used plates and offer more menu options. Never done Korean bbq before so was good night out for boyfriend and I. We had a lot of fun cooking our own food which made us not mind waiting on food to cook. Tip to beginners is cool veggies first and rub onion along grill to start so meat doesn’t stick. Only complaints being bathrooms could have been cleaner and not enough napkins provided. Would 100% be returning though. Give it a try!

Such a fun experience and great food. The business is family operated and the staff were really helpful and friendly. We loved our visit here.

I go here alllll the time with my teen daughter. The value and service are beyond amazing. Great healthy fresh food ~ and TONS of it. Besides for being able to grill your own food - the one price all-you-can-eat menu ALSO includes already made dishes like sweet and sour pork.... and many more. AMAZING place that keeps me coming back since they opened ~ going there in 2 hours in fact. And to grill the food it's as simple as throwing it on the grill.
