Food was great, don't let the waiter fool you though, you will have plenty enough food for 2 by taking the 2 person menu. Service was really not great though, felt like he was really trying to push us to just spend more for no reason, then was rude when getting the bill.
Une atmosphère décontractée & sympathique. De la nourriture de qualité & aux goûts riches & diversifiés. Que demander de plus ? Notre serveur, Jin, était, de surcroit, très avenant & disponible. Il ne se contente pas de servir, mais aussi de présenter chaque fois ce qu'il dépose sur la table & d'en donner les instructions pour la cuisson (concises & claires par ailleurs), le tout en gardant le sourire. Le restaurant se souci de fournir une expérience complète - bouffe, atmosphère & service - agréable & les employés semblent tout à fait disposés à y contribuer de manière significative. Nous étions cinq & tous ont apprécié sans réserve.

Nous nous y rendons régulièrement, très bon restaurant, prévoyez de réserver en avance sinon vous risquez de ne pas avoir de places ! On a jamais été déçu !
Nous sommes allés pour mon 35e anniversaire en décembre dernier & je suis tombée en amour avec le restaurant. La viande était excellente, le personnel aussi. Je recommande.

Looking for a last minute place to enjoy some Japanese food, we didn't know what to expect from Gyu-Kaku (I guess we should do some research before hand...) but were pleasantly surprised by the result. This is clearly a popular place being located on Crescent just below Ste. Catherine, especially with university students. The dining style is cook-it-yourself meats & shrimps with some veggies. The menu is ridiculously large (see pictures) but help guide you through the multiple options. We chose the Holiday Magic Course multi dish option for two (even though there were three of us) & there was plenty of food to enjoy. The servings are mostly different types & cuts of meats (skirt steak, pork, hanger steak, kalbi short rib, & the like (see picture of YAKINIKU HOLIDAY MENU for details). The food kept coming & there was no break as we cooked, ate then received more food. We were stuffed at the end. Overall it was good & alot of fun but I am not necessarily a fan of having to monitor my own meal as I eat (but that's just me). The food quality is good, not out of this world but still tasty. Also, there are other cooked meal options like noodles & veggies if you prefer. I liked the service team a lot as everyone took care of us...it wasn't assigned seats per server just ask who ever was passing & they would take care of you. It worked very well & added to the enjoyment. This is a place best for 4 or more people rather than a couples night. Enjoy!
Food was good, service was helpful since ordering is confusing if you didn't know the place. The music was so loud that conversation was near impossible.
Nourriture est top. Tout est bien expliqué, le fonctionnement, les cuissons. Il y a toujours beaucoup de monde, je vous conseille de réserver ! Instagram : @cestentreparentheses
The food was great, but it was made better by the great folks working there. Thanks to the nice host manager Victoria who fit me at the last minute & also communicate frequently the waiting time. & to the nice & kind waiter danny who made sure allways that everything was great, & was really patient & took time to explain everything, cooking time ... Kudos to the great manager who hire them, & keep doing that great work.
