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.
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.
Très belle première expérience, nous avons pris le menu à 3 & les portions étaient parfaites! La qualité de la nourriture était incroyable. Je veux surtout remercier notre serveur Jia qui nous à tout expliqué de A à Z avec un sourire. Expérience fantastique avec un service magnifique! Je recommande grandement cette place!

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!
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
La cuisine était très bonne & très variée.
Le restaurant nous plonge dans une ambiance immersive.
Les serveurs sont extrêmement gentils. Il y a eu un petit incident de « verre renversé », rien de grave mais on nous a quand même offert nos entrées & nos boissons. Je recommande vivement & vous remercie encore!
Un moment exceptionnel partagé en famille.
Dès qu'un client rentre toute l'équipe crie bienvenue.
Le service est top, nous avons été servis par un jeune homme très bienveillant & attentif.
La cuisine est vraiment vraiment très bonne,
Nous avons pris un combo spécial pour les fêtes de fin d'année.
Le vin parfait j'ai pris un verre de chardonnay & mon mari un verre de Pinot noir,
Je vous recommande vraiment cette adresse,
Merci à l'équipe & surtout notre serveur Mico.
Went for a birthday celebration for me & my friend. Not only was the food so delicious but the service is top notched. They even provided us complementary dessert for our birthdays. Ordered a bunch of appetizers, meat & even cocktails, everything was fairly priced. Would 100% recommend!
Highly recommend this restaurant. Make sure to make reservations as the chances of getting a table without one is slim. The service was amazing & the food was delicious. Definitely worth the money. Can't wait to go back.
Update 7 years later! It's still amazing! This time around we did the holiday special for 2 & it was perfect with the smores dessert! Delicious!!!!

J'adore!! Mon resto préféré toujours délicieux & le service est super plusieurs menu dispo pour un groupe de personne nous n'avons jamais ete déçu je recommande 😊
Had a great time at Gyu-Kaku with my family! Service with Jin was incredible, he knew exactly what to recommend for drinks & meats. He even went beyond & showed us the best way to grill the harami cut he suggested because it was our first time. It was sooo tender & flavourful. We also enjoyed the spicy cabbage salad, karaage salad, fried rice & fried shrimps.
Definitely recommend Jin, he pays great attention to details & really took care of us 🤩🫶

Excellente expérience culinaire ! Le concept barbecue japonais est amusant & convivial, les viandes sont de qualité, les marinades savoureuses & les accompagnements délicieux. Service rapide & attentionné, ambiance chaleureuse. Un incontournable pour les amateurs de grillades & de cuisine japonaise. Je recommande
C'est un bon resto que je recommande, mais pas dans l'entièreté. Si vous êtes quelqu'un au palais fin, vous serez comblé. Si vous êtes une personne gourmande, vous ne serez pas satisfait des portions. Le coût $ des plats à l'unité pour en ravoir n'est pas abordable dans le boeuf atouch! Sinon, le goût délicieux est là cependant. Le service est super, l'ambiance est là. Si vous êtes quelqu'un qui aime boire, c'est mitigé. J'ai pris un cocktail & dès la première gorgée...j'ai été choquée. Je buvais de l'eau. Le drink était tellement dilué dans une montagne de glaçons. À la fin d'un breuvage avec alcool, je m'y attends, au début, pas du tout. Mon drink a été un gros 0/10 pour moi. Au prix qu'on paye pour aller manger dans ce resto, je m'attendais à des boissons plus généreuses en goût. Outre cela, j'ai eu une belle soirée.
Restaurant super ! Le concept est génial la viande est très goûteuse & les accompagnements sont super aussi. Vous ressortez plus que rassasié ! Je recommande ce restaurant
My husband & I ate here for our first Japanese BBQ experience ever, & it was hands down one of the best dining experiences we've had in our lives. We're already planning our next trip to Montreal, & this place is at the top of our list to return to!
Jin, as well as all of the staff, were unbelievably hospitable. They absolutely made our experience an 11/10. Cannot recommend this place enough! :)
