Les avis sur Gyu Kaku décrivent une expérience de barbecue japonais interactive et conviviale, où les viandes sont grillées à table et l'ambiance chaleureuse et festive convient aussi bien aux repas en famille qu'aux sorties entre amis. La viande est généralement décrite comme de haute qualité et bien marinee, avec une grande variété de coupes dont wagyu et kalbi, et des accompagnements savoureux. Le rapport qualité-prix est perçu comme raisonnable pour des formules généreuses et la qualité des aliments, mais certains estiment que le prix reste élevé et que quelques portions pourraient être plus copieuses. Le service est souvent loué pour son attention et ses conseils sur la cuisson, bien que quelques avis signalent des moments plus lents ou des détails à améliorer. L'ambiance est immersive et dynamique, parfois rythmée par une musique forte mais tolérable, et l'endroit est considéré idéal pour les groupes, les occasions spéciales et les dîners romantiques. Les boissons et les desserts apportent une touche festive, et certains commentaires mettent en avant le soju et le saké ainsi que les desserts type s'mores. Dans l'ensemble, Gyu Kaku est présenté comme une expérience culinaire japonaise originale, avec un bon équilibre entre qualité, quantité et ambiance, et une recommandation récurrente pour y revenir.
My first time at a Japanese BBQ place. Nice place to share a meal with friends & enjoy the atmosphere. Since there were 4 of use we ordered a dinner for 4. Big mistake. There was way to much food. Even though all the items we had were great, we had to sacrifice some so we could have some green ice-cream for dessert. Oh well.
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 😂

After a year, I finally ate again at my favorite Japanese restaurant. It still feels the same as the first time I came here. I ordered the spicy pork & beef yaki shabu, still my top choice. The flavor hits right every time.
The staff are polite & attentive. The music fits the mood & adds to the vibe. The place feels comfortable & familiar.
One funny downside. This place reminds me of someone who introduced it to me & is no longer part of my life. That said, no regrets. The food & the experience stay solid.
We tried the Japanese BBQ set for three & it was more than enough food we all left full. The grilling experience was fun, & the variety of meats kept it interesting. Some cuts were nicely marinated & tender, but overall still enjoyable once grilled properly.
The side items (cheese, peppers, marinade foil-wrapped items like mushroom) added a nice change of flavour during the meal. Cooking everything at the table is part of the fun here, & the grill stays hot. The person who serves us guided us on time to cook each type of meat. That was very thoughtful.
The highlight at the end was definitely the ice cream the matcha flavour was the clear winner at our table, but the vanilla & taro were good too.
Service was friendly & quick, & the pacing between dishes worked well no waiting around.
Would come back & maybe try a different meat selection next time.
The food & service were excellent. The food was delicious. However, the music selection in the restaurant was poor. I wish they had music that was more in keeping with Japanese culture, the ambiance would be better. & the music was way too loud. Other than that, everything was great.
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! :)
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!
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.
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!
i just the best time there!! it was my first time trying a Japanese bbq & I was not disappointed! the food was amazing & the staff so nice. can't wait to be back!!

Updated review 2024: What used to be the best Japanese BBQ in Montreal is changing. As a regular at Gyu-Kaku, visiting about 30 times a year, here's my review. The quality of the meat is not what it used to be. On November 2nd, the prime kalbi was awful - it wasn't the beautiful marbled slices shown in the menu image & what we usually receive. The pork was only fat, with no meat at all. Of course, we expect some fat on pork slices, but not just fat. The filet mignon seemed to have soaked in a previously used, unwashed plate that might have held seafood. The harami beef isn't what it used to be either: we often encounter big nerves in the meat. The portions of kimchi have also become tiny. In addition, the service is no longer of the same quality. Employees no longer greet us in Japanese when we arrive or leave. The service is slower than before, & it seems to be simply because they are understaffed. The servers are kind & doing their best - it's clear the issue seems to come from management. In short, many things have changed. Each time, we go back thinking it was just bad luck, but at this point, despite our 3,000 points in the app, we'll need to opt for a BBQ spot where the meat is quality, like Korean BBQ Daldongnae, just down the street. We miss our old Gyu Kaku experience. 😩 Previous review: Best Japanese BBQ in town! Authentic! You go to Gyu Kaku in Tokyo & it's ALMOST the same except for the wagyu meat obviously.
A classic Japanese bbq restaurant. All you can eat with high quality products all of which were pure in flavor. I definitely recommend going here with friends & enjoy some time cooking some yummy food. The service was great. We always got our food a few minutes after we put in our order no matter how large. Also being served by the robot was cute & fun. The best part might have been the tiny crème brûlée
We had a perfect lunch at Gyu-Kaku. We hadn't been before & our server (I think her name was Natasha..!) was very helpful in explaining the lunch menu & generally looking after us. The food is excellent value, & the'ukumara' meats were outstanding. This was my first Japanese BBQ experience & I'm sad I can't come back as I am only visiting Montreal for a short time!
I recently visited Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ on August 11th, & I must say, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. As a "BBQ aficionado", I opted for the Meat Lover's option, & I was initially concerned it might not be enough. To my surprise, it was more than sufficient-so much so that even with my hearty appetite, I found myself struggling to finish the last few bites! The service was phenomenal. Our waiter, whose name I regret not asking, was outstanding. He provided excellent explanations of all the dishes & checked in on us regularly. Despite the restaurant being full, the dishes came out quickly & in a steady flow-within 10 minutes, our table was completely filled. Even though I wasn't in the best mood that evening due to unrelated reasons, the food & service completely turned my night around. The atmosphere was lively but not overly loud, & the table separators added a nice touch of privacy. I left Gyu-Kaku feeling completely satisfied & eager to return. Highly recommend for anyone who loves BBQ & great service!
