“Finally made it to Gyumon Japanese BBQ on Marion and was a truly enjoyable experience. Service was great to explain the three all you can eat options and differences between Diamond $55, Gold $45 and Silver $25 menu. There are discounts for lunch, a la carte options and $10 off weekdays Monday-Thursday. The Gold (AYCE) menu hits the spot with Wagyu, tender beef, pork and chicken and limited sushi and sashimi. Gyumon's Japanese BBQ experience allows the table to choose up to 10 menu items per order with a 5 minute wait time in-between. The handrolls and appetizers were delicious and not too filling. Their on-site dipping sauce and bubble tea bar was accommodating the toughest palates. Be prepared to spend more and wait on weekends or Yelp your table reservation as this location has become a go to family friendly place.”
“Everything was so good, quality of food was very high, we liked it a lot, sushi were so fresh and delicious, definitely recommend it! Food came out very fast, our favourite was short plate!”
“Absolutely loved this meal! The meat was fresh, tender, and beautifully marbled, and everything cooked perfectly on the grill. The scallops were especially delicious, and the side dishes added a great variety of flavors and textures. The presentation was impressive, the portions were generous, and the whole dining experience felt fun and satisfying. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys high-quality barbecue!”

“Had a really great BBQ experience here. The meat was fresh, well marbled, and beautifully presented, especially the beef cuts and pork belly. Everything cooked nicely on the grill, and the mushrooms, pineapple, and shrimp were great additions to balance the meal. The portions felt generous, and the overall presentation made the meal feel very satisfying. Definitely a good spot for a casual dinner with friends or a fun BBQ night. Would come back again!”
“I stopped by for a quick lunch, and it was a great experience. Since it was a cold day, I ordered a hot bowl of soup along with a few side dishes, and everything was delicious and comforting. The food tasted fresh, and the flavors were excellent. If you're looking for good Japanese cuisine, this is definitely a place worth trying. I really enjoyed my meal and would gladly come back again to try more items on the menu.”
“The best interactive food experience in this side of town (maybe even in all of Chicago). Classic Japanese grill, aside from an amazing selection of meat, the sides, sushi and dessert is awesome! We're back after 2 weeks. The kids loved the grilled wagyu! We will be back...”
