Review Summary
Reviews describe Gyu Kaku as a lively Japanese BBQ spot where the meat is consistently high quality, well marinated, and served in generous portions, with many dishes praised for freshness and variety and the interactive grill at the table adding a fun, communal dimension. The ambiance is repeatedly described as warm, festive, and welcoming, though some note the space can be loud and the music loud for conversation. Service is often highlighted as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff offering helpful recommendations and clear grilling guidance; on occasion, service can feel slow during peak times, but the overall experience is regarded as memorable and hospitable. Value is seen as good for the quality and quantity, with some reviewers praising promotions or lunch specials, while others feel certain items or add ons can be pricey and portions can vary. Overall, Gyu Kaku comes across as a reliable destination for gatherings and celebrations, delivering strong food, an engaging format, and consistent hospitality, with minor caveats about crowding, odors, and price.

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!

The Montreal Gyu-Kaku location is a 10/10 dining experience. Comfortable seating, polite waiters, fantastic beef/pork quality, & welcoming interior.

I would recommend dining in for the lunch menu; It's the most sufficient money-wise & you receive more than enough food.

We came as a group of six & very disappointed. Six people all for one small grill & the hostess told us we have exactly 2h & then must leave. It was very rushed. Very rude hostess. Even worse we had a new waiter that was terrible, never came to check on us or refill water after dumping all the dishes right at the beginning on our table. Incredibly disappointing experience.

Best service ever! You get tea & water the moment you sit down. Got the lunch special for ~16 & it had miso soup, rice, salad plus two meats of your choice. This is a crazy deal.

This place is great if you're hungry. We ordered the meal for three people, but we ended up being four. We were really satisfied with our food.

The food was mediocre & extremely overpriced. The wait staff were fine; I have no complaints about them. We booked for a group of 15 & were seated at two separate tables, so we missed out on the communal feeling we had been hoping for. We paid 150$ for two people, & it was totally not worth it.

Highly recommended place.
The meat is very high quality, amazing taste. Cleanliness is spot on. Service is extremely friendly & welcoming & best thing is you come & leave & no smell sticks to you. I was happy with everything we ordered l, really nothing was mediocre. Everthg was super tasty. Best quality/price combo.

I would also like to mention how happy I was with the service provided by ACESU! He was really friendly, patient, took the time to explain to us & help us choose & his recommendations were spot on. He's not like usual waiters who just recommend the most expensive thing on the menu, in contrary, he recommends what goes with ur taste & needs, always smiling, genuine hospitality! Kudos to his service

10000/5 stars, no exaggeration.
Gyu-Kaku is that spot. The kind of place you don't just like, you love.

This has officially become our spot, the place my boyfriend & I keep coming back to because it never misses. Ever. The food is insanely good. Every cut, every bite, every sauce is consistently amazing. The vibes are warm, fun, intimate, & just straight-up comforting. Somehow, every single visit is better than the last, which feels impossible, yet here we are.

A special & heartfelt thank you to the incredible staff who truly make this place shine, especially Alden, Mico, & Eric. You guys are genuinely amazing & make every visit feel special, personal, & memorable. Also huge love to the server who went out of his way to create new drinks & even let us taste his invention. I'm so sorry I forgot your name, but your passion & kindness did not go unnoticed.

This isn't just a restaurant to us anymore. It's a place tied to memories, laughter, comfort, & quality time. The kind of place where you leave already excited to come back.

Consistently good. Everything. Every time.
If you're thinking about going, go. & then go again. & again.

10,000/5 stars, forever.
