Gyu-Kaku is described in these reviews as a lively, interactive Japanese BBQ experience where guests grill at the table and enjoy flavorful, well marinated meats in generous portions. Diners repeatedly praise the high quality of beef and variety of cuts, with sauces and touches like miso, ponzu, and inventive drinks adding to the meal. The atmosphere is often described as warm, convivial, and family or date friendly, though the space can be loud and reservations are recommended to avoid long waits. Service is frequently highlighted as friendly, helpful, and attentive, with staff taking time to explain the menu and cooking method, while a few experiences note occasional slower service or timing issues during busy periods. Value is a common theme, with many finding the price justified by the quality and the interactive format, though some feel portions or options vary and price can be higher than comparable restaurants. Overall, the consensus is that Gyu-Kaku delivers a memorable dining experience worth returning to, especially for groups or special occasions, and many reviewers state they would come back and recommend it.
Trying to order from here is impossible. I hate ubereats but no delivery service, & if Im forced to use UE then they arent a member & Im paying huge fees. Either setup a home delivery service or sign up with the platforms!
Super expérience ! La nourriture était fraîche, bien assaisonnée & les portions sont parfaites. Le service est professionnel & l'ambiance est vraiment agréable pour passer une belle soirée. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant.

Accueil étrange, peu accueillant. Privilégiez les personnes qui ont réservé svp.
Viande correcte mais peu qualitative pour le prix.
Le riz était extrêmement décevant! Pas du vrai riz japonais (plutôt un genre de basmati) trop cuit.
J'ai bien aimé les explications pour cuisson de viandes. Privilégiez la qualité svp.
J'ai beaucoup aimé les séparations entre tables, c'est bien fait.
Love this place!! Not the same as Gyukaku in Japan but still tasty. We were happy to have Asahi Super Dry. Wished for some of the veggies we could get in Japan but so glad for the enoki!!! The drinks are good & made to order. I was able to ask for less sweet & it was very nice. Everyone was very kind & sweet. Love how they yell out greetings in Japan, very authentic 😊 Last time we were there the music was super loud, this time much more bearable - loud enough to make it a fun atmosphere but not so loud we had to yell. Go if you haven't!!!
Définitivement mon restaurant préféré sur Montréal, pour son rapport qualité-prix.
Coup de coeur pour les formules proposées.
Très agréable en toutes circonstances
One word: EXCELLENT ! We've been to Japan so our standards were high & they didn't disappoint. We had the combo for two people , everything was delicious, generous & reasonably priced. We'll be coming back for sure.
Food was excellent but pricier compared to other Japanese BBQ which was unlimited. Coming in I really thought it was à volonté since I would pay the same price from other places with much more varieties. But food was good, overall. I initially thought I wouldn't get full so that kind of worried me for the price I was paying 😂
What is most notable to me is the excellent service! Our waitress was very attentive to detail & took a good amount of time to explain the menu, which was 100% needed as a person unfamilliar with the concept.
The entire staff welcomes you & thanks you for your patronage, which adds to the exprience. Music choice was mostly pop rap (a lot of kendrick lamar when I went) & a tad loud, outherwise no notes. Will révision for sure!

I love this place so much. I've been a frequent customer for years & I genuinely think nothing tops it. I've tried pretty much every Korean BBQ spot, & this one is by far the best. The food is consistently amazing, the experience is always fun, & the quality never disappoints. We seriously need more good restaurants in downtown Montreal because there really aren't any. Always a go to for me, & every person I've put onto this place says the same thing.

The food was amazing & the service was excellent. The combo for four people was the perfect amount, just enough to be satisfied. We also added a bottle of excellent sake & some outstanding wagyu beef. Great experience! 100% recommand this place!
