This spot offers a lively atmosphere, but the group menu leans too heavily on sweetness, with little contrast in flavours. Even the meats carried a sugary note. While portions were well-balanced, providing just the right amount of food, the overall flavour profile lacked variety.
Service started off shaky & inconsistent, but supervisor Alden turned things around with his warmth, kindness & professionalism, elevating the experience. While the food could use more depth, the exceptional service made the visit memorable.
Belle expérience pour un resto de type shabu shabu / Yakiniku. Plusieurs choix de formules selon le nombre de personnes. Il est fort préférable de réserver à l'avance. Bon service la serveuse a pris le temps d'expliquer le menu & procédures. La nourriture était fraîche & nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir. J'ai bien aimé les nouilles à l'ail.
Très bon endroit , les plats sont succulents, les plats de riz sont trop bon , je remercie 🤩SORA pour son service elle était professionnelle souriante & à l'écoute
We had an amazing experience thanks to Sora. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with a genuine smile & a wonderfully kind attitude. Her service was impeccable-always attentive to every detail & making sure we had everything we needed. This is the kind of service that truly makes a difference & makes you want to come back. Thank you, Sora, for your warmth & excellent service!
We had an excellent meal & wonderful, kind service. Jahon took excellent care of us, & was a true gentleman. We got in for happy hour pricing, which was icing on the cake.
Absolutely Incredible Experience at Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ!
From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was absolutely impeccable-attentive, friendly, & fast.
The food? Outstanding. Every cut of meat was high quality, well-marinated, & grilled to absolute perfection right at our table. The portions were generous, & the variety on the menu ensured there was something for everyone. We especially loved the selection of sauces that perfectly complemented each bite.
The drinks were also fantastic, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. & for the quality & portion sizes, the pricing was incredibly reasonable. It's rare to find such a perfect balance of top-tier food, great service, & affordability, but Gyu-Kaku nailed it!
If you're looking for an amazing Japanese BBQ experience, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back for more!
Très bon restaurant, l'ambiance est vraiment plaisante, les tables sont bien gérées pour le nombre de personnes. La viande était bien marinée & vraiment tendre. Une belle expérience. Notre serveur ( Victor) nous as donné une excellent service. Ma première fois dans ce type de restaurant & je vais y retourner!! Je trouve que le 5 étoiles est nécessaire comme note final.

Love this place. It take some time to eat, but really nice experience. Would not recomand for kids since there is hot fire in the Middleton of the table & you can't eat fast. Got a crave for that bibimbap Rice days after....
This place will forever stay in my heart! It was first time I have ever tried Japanese Grill was fascinated with the experience. Would love to come back to Montreal just t visit this restaurant again.
had the most memorable night at Gyu-Kaku, our server Victor (or Viktor), was incredibly helpful, giving us solid suggestions on what combo to order & what drinks to get. Hit the mark on everything, the meat was fantastic & well marinated as well as the drinks they served were awesome, the Sakura was amazing. I would go back for the service alone, thank you Victor for your amazing hospitality & adding to an amazing night!
Overall fantastic experience. We were a group of 2 & took one of their predetermined courses menu, it was plenty enough food for both of us to both feel full & still got to try a nice variety. They also had some imported Japanese beers which were excellent & which I have not found elsewhere in the city yet. Overall definitely recommend visiting at least once, & if you live in the area they do have a free membership with bonuses & discounts which I could see being very appealing if you enjoy this style of eating out!
